On The U. S. Farm Fronf

WASHINGTON UPI — The government’s investment in price - supported commodities as of Jan. 31 totaled $7,582,171,000. This was $610 million less than a year ago, but $383 ■ million more than a month ago. The Agriculture Department said the current investment was made up of $4,459,415,706 in commodities owned outright by the Commodity Credit Corp. and $3,122,755,903 in outstanding loans on commodities still held by producers. The investment in feed grains — both loans and inventory — totaled slightly more than $2.5 billion. The grains included corn, Barley, grain sorghum, oats and rye. The wheat investment of slightly under 887 million bushels was valued at almost $1.7 billion. The cotton investment of more than 13.7 million bales was valued at more than $2.1 billion. The tobacco investment of more than 1.2 billion pounds was valued at $863 million. The dairy investment was $61 million, dow considerably from

the investment of $256.5 million a year earlier.

Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman has appointed a task force to check compliance of Agriculture Department agencies with civil rights acts. The Civil Rights Commission recently charged that administration of some of the department’s farm programs in the South permitted discrimination against Negro farmers. The alleged discrimination occurred especially in federal extension work.

The crop reporting board said commercial broiler production in the United States during 1964 totaled 2,075,068,000 birds, up 3 per cent from 1963 and the largest of record. This large volume of broilers was produced in the 23 states covered by weekly chick placement reports. Gross income from broiler production last year was $1,018,213,000.

Greece Reports Damaging Quake ATHENS, Greece UPI — A powerful earthquake has destroyed 100 cottages and killed two elderly women on an Eegean sea island, according to reports reaching here today. An earlier report from the Seismological Institute in Uppsala, Sweden, said the earthquake — stronger than the one that devastated Skopje, Yugoclavia, in 1963 — struck Tuesday night. It was centered in north-western Turkey, the institute said. There were no immediate reports from Turkey. The reports from the island of Alonissos said the quake tumbled about 100 small homes and killed two women aged 70 and 75. Alonissos belongs to the northern Sporades island group off the coast of Greece. The quake was felt throughout mainland Greece, but there were no reports of other casualties or damage.

Plan Increased Guard Strength WASHINGTON UPI — All 50 states would gain in National Guard strength but lose in total drill-paid units under the Pentagon’s proposed cutback and merger of civilian military units, it was learned today. Only the District of Columbia would show an over-all gain, with a net increase of 38 men. Otherwise, both the cut in the organized Army reserve and the increase in the National Guard would be distributed throughout the nation. The merger plan now before Congress would abolish the drill-paid Army reserve, authorized at 300,000 men, while increasing the Army National Guard from 400,000 to 500,000 men. Actual strengths are below authorized figures by an average of 11 per cent in the reserves and 6 per cent in the guards.

Injuries Fatal EAST CHICAGO, Ind. UPI — Mrs. Catalina Roque, 64, East Chicago, died in St. Catherine’s Hospital here Tuesday night shortly after she was struck by a Pennsylvania Railroad passenger train at a crossing. Witnesses said Mrs. Roque disregarded lowered gates, ringing bells and red flasher signals and walked onto the tracks in what appeared to be an effort to beat the train to the crossing.

Voting Rights Pressure Mounts WASHINGTON UPI—Pressure mounted in Congress today for new legislation to enforce Negro voting rights. Impelled by the violence at Selma, Ala., northern congressmen of both parties called insistently for action. Democrats sharply criticized Alabama authorities for their handling of the Selma situation and for the state’s voting practices. Republicans turned their fire on the Johnson administration, accusing it of delay and timidity in the face of what they believed were clear constitutional violations. Behind the scenes, the Justise Department was trying to draft legislation which would command the support of northern Republicans as well as Democrats. This bipartisan support was deemed necessary for the passage of any bill, but it was proving to be slow work to achieve. President Johnson announced that he expected to complete drafting of new civil rights legislation by this weekend and that he would send it immediately to Congress. If past practice is followed, civil rights would be taken up first by the House and then the Senate. Chairman Emanuel Celler, D-N.Y., of the House Judiciary Committee has signified his intention to give consideration of new legislation top priority. The congressional atmosphere was much the same as in 1963 after the racial violence at Birmingham, Ala. The use of dogs and fire hoses on demonstrators then sealed passage of the 1964 civil rights bill. It seemed likely that the police tear gas barrage at Selma Sunday had produced a similar mood in Washington. Pro-civil rights congressmen of both parties agreed that new legislation was needed to speed up the registration of Negro voters. The most frequently suggested remedy was the creation of federal machinery to register Negroes when state and local officials refuse or delay the process. But there also was rising sentiment for legislation to control police burtality against demonstrators and to further limit or ban outright the use of voter literacy tests.
