CIVIC CLUBS HEAR TALK BY GEORGE DOUR

ROTARY. KIW AMS MEMBERS HEAR DISC USSION ON FARM PROBLEMS George Doup, vice president and secretary-treasurer of the Indiana Farm Bureau, addressed a joint luncheon meeting of Grceneastle Rotarians and Ki waniana at the Student Union on Wednesday. Mr. Doup’s speech was especially timely as Kiwanis is observing the annual Ru r al Urban Week, and had a.s guests a number of Putnam County farmers and their wives. Frank DeVaney, president of Kiwanis, and Kenneth Eitel. president of Rotary, the host club, presided. Kenneth Harris, Putnam County agent, introduced Mr. Doup, after presenting Edwin Snavely, chairman of the committee arranging the program. Mr. Doup gave an excellent talk on the problems faced by agriculture, and the efforts undertaken by the Farm Bureau or- j ganization to alleviate many of these problems, and in studies concerned with easing tax burdens, and finding larger markets for farm products. The speaker went on to explain that the average farmer wants less government domination, however, the fact that since 1948, with the exception of 1951, farm net income has dropped, steps must be taken to reverse this trend. Mr. Doup gave the impression that he is optimistic and that this adjustment from a wartime economy to a peacetime one will be accomplished. Interesting were Mr Doup’s remar ks on taxes. He mentioned that the Farm Bureau had encouraged their members to discuss this question at their meetings, and that a surtax on the present gross seemed more in favor if state taxes had to be increased to meet present needs. The inequality of the property tax was mentioned, and he related how in Columbus township in Bartholomew county, the farmer-, were paying 90 per cent in the support of schools, whereas, only 12 per cent of the school pupds came from farm homes. “The farmer is in favor of adequate school facilities,” said the speaker-, ''but is in need of more assistance from the slate.” In connection with the question of Federal roa i building, Mr Doup stated that the Bureau didn't look with too much favoron the Federal gover nment entering this field, but smee it is thrust on us, India’.a should join with other states in tr ying to get as much from the government as possible, which, at present means that the state must p. y 10 percent of the cost. IK stated the. in the past several years. Indiana had lost some Feder d allotment? since the state had failed to meet her share of the cast of building and maintaining Federal roads. Mr. Doup was most encouraging in his remarks on the progress made in agricultural research. He referred to Purdue University, which has developed a new type of corn to ho used in industry in the making of plastics. films and certain types of paper, and cannot be used for feeding. In closing. Mr. Doup stressed the importance of the city and farm folks working together for a better America.

Molotov Named To Soviet Post

MOSCOW (UP)—Former Foreign Minister V M. Mokrtov was appointed to the post of min ster of state control, one of the nost ' powered ministries in the ‘ - "7 viet government. Western observers i» Lor non immediately interpre Molotov’s appointment to the . w job a.s a resurgence to power of tha old line Stalinists in the unending Soviet struggle for ascendancy. Communist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev heads the an-ti-Stainist faction. The State Control Ministry post was filled until 1953 by V. N. Merkulov, who was the late Secret Police Chief L P. Roria’.s chief supporter in the government while Josef Stalin was alive. Beria and Merkulov were executed together. Molotov, still a first deputy premier, thus assumed responsibility for the office which has overall economic and financial control of all government activities. The appointment of the veteran Stalin associate was unexpected.
