WASHINGTON UPI — A veteran congressional economist said today that acrage diversion programs for major crop* will be needed indefinitely to avoid a sharp decline in farm income. The statement was included in a report by Dr. Walter Wilcox, an economist for the Li-

brary of Congress, for Sens. George McGovern, D - S. D., Eugene J. McCarthy, D- Minn., and Milton R. Young, R - N. D. Wilcox said the productivity j of; American Agriculture is increasing three times as fast toJ day as 30 years ago. He added that at current price levels, farmers pan profitably increase seed gnan yield 30 to 40 per

The economist predicted that i wheat production can be boosted five to 10 bushels an acre i within a few years and that ; cotton yield can be raised by 60 to 100 pounds per acre. Under these conditions, Wili cox said, farm income will decline sharply unless federal acreage diversion programs

i are continued.

The report also predicted that in the near future, 40 per cent or more of the nation's farm products may be coming from just r 50,000 farms with annual sales of 140,000 a year or more. Another 50 to 55 per cent of the farm output will come from about 1.4 million J smaller commercial farms. From 5 to 10 per cent will | come from small farms that get most of their income from

non-farm sources.

Wilcox said that farm support programs are designed to help commercial farms during ; change. He said that if it be- ' comes necessary to cut the cost of these programs, it might be possible to maintain income on a v e r a g e-sized and smaller farms with some reduction for the largest farmer*. At present, 4 per cent of the nation’s farms have annual sales of $40,000 a year or more, Wilcox’s report said these farms now account for about 37 per icent of total farm production. I They also account for about 35 per cent of the cost of farm

support programs. Wilcox said the Food for Peace Program might be continued at present levels to help maintain farm income. He said that if the progra- - is expanded, the extra sales would make it possible to scale down some acreage-reduction programs. The report also suggested that government costs might be reduced by contracting with farmers for 10 to 12-year retirement of low-grade land now producing graips.

Red China Is Behind Albania UNITED NATIONS, N. T. UPI — Communist China waa clearly behind Albania’s at* tempt to force an East-West confrontation in the General Assembly Tuesday, Western diplomats said today. They said Peking, working through its European satellite, sought to disrupt the United Nations, which has barred it from membership, and to hurt U. S.-Soviet relations. Some Asian delegates viewed the move as a reprisal for the U. S. raids on North Viet Nam. Parliamentary maneuvering by assembly President Alex Quasion-Sackey avoided the confrontation, at least until the assembly meets again Thursday. Albanian Ambassador Halim Budo stunned Tuesday’s routine session with a demand that the assembly immediately get down to voting. He called for a vote no less than six times, stubbornly rejecting Quaison-Sack-

ey’s appeal and those of nine nations. The first vote would raise the issue of whether Russia, France, and 11 other nations — including Albania itself — have the right to vote because of their debts for U.N. peace mis- : sions. It would destroy the delicately built agreement to adjourn I the assembly and negotiate the issue of peace - keeping costs. It would bring the threat of a Soviet walkout if the Russians were deprived of their vote.

! On the other hand, it couk bring a U. S. defeat if enough nations refused to penalize tlw Soviets. U. S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson appeared to share the view that Albania was acting as the “voice of Peking.”
