On The U. S. Farm Front

By Gaylord P. Godwin WASHINGTON UPI — A high Agriculture Department official believes Communist China will continue to be an importer of free world wheat, barring serious deterioration in East-West relations. During the fiscal years 196164. Red China purchased from

the West some 615 million bushels of wheat. Free world exports of wheat to Red China in 1964-65 are expected to total 175 million bushels. During this period Red China exported a considerable amount of rice and some soybeans. Raymond A. loanes. administrator of the Foreign Agricul-

tural Service, said, “Selling rice and buying wheat makes sense.’’ The said the Chinese sell their milled rice for about $120 a metric ton and buy wheat for about $70 a ton. Even though the spectre of hunger is believed to be ever-present in heavily ! populated China, there is not j much caloric loss in the sale of rice with one hand and the purchase of wheat with the other. The caloric values of rice and wheat are close—363 calories per 100 grams for milled rice against 330 calories for whole-

An Agriculture Department spokesman said the Soviet Union cancelled a scheduled trip of a team of six U.S. government and industry poultry specialists to that country, July 17 through Aug. 25. The spokesman said the U.S.S.R. notified the department that the trip was off for this year, but that the Soviet Union would receive the delegation in 1966. The spokesman told the Soviets asked that the delegation come to the World Poultry Congress scheduled for the Soviet Union next year. The spokesman said the Soviet action was not unusual. They have done this before, wtihout explanation, he said.

Views On The Lighter Side

By Dick We«t

WASHINGTON UPI—If you happen to be in the market for a second hand truck, painted to resemble a telephone company vehicle, I may be able to put you next to a good thing. I have a hunch that such a | machine may soon be offered for sale in the Pittsburgh area by its present owner, the Internal Revenue Service. Before I give you the details, however, let me say that nobody with normal humane feelings enjoys seeking another peri son suffer. It’s just that certain j types of suffering can be less heart-rending than others.

willing to let it go now—cheap. In addition to selling the truck, the commissioner may put on the block a number of two-way mirrors and various “bugging” devices. He assured the subcommittee that he had ordered his agents to use such equipment with more discretion in the future, if

at all.

Some of the electronic snooping didn’t work out very well anyway. One attempt to bug an office was foiled because the suspect subscribed to one of those piped-in phonograph sys-

tems.

All that the evesdroppers picked up was background music. Which may become a good selling point for “Muzak.”

HISTORY IN THE MAKING Is but part of the Ohio visitor attractions found on a Magic Circle auto jaunt, starting in Canton at the new Pro Football Hall of Fame. Other tour highlights include 19th Century Zoar Village and Gardens, once a flourishing German communal enterprise; scenic old Devil’s Den Park; reconstructed Schoenbrunn Villages founded in 1772; Sharon Moravian Church; photogenic covered wooden bridges still in use on back country roads near Bliss field; through Amish country to Millersburg where they have hitching rails with meters for the horse and buggy traffic; and a side trip to Sugar Creek, a famous Swiss cheese manufacturing center.

My own sense of compassion was aroused to a sub-par level a few weeks ago when a member of Congress fell off a golf cart and broke his leg. And I experienced a similar lack of total commiseration this week when Sheldon S. Cohen, the new Internal Revenue Commissioner, was testifying before a Senate judiciary subcommit-

tee.

Cohen is a fine man and a dedicated public servant. Of that I have no doubt. Yet for some reason the sight of the No. 1 tax collector in an uncomfortable situation failed to bring tears to my eyes. It may be that mid-July is too close to April 15. Anyway, Cohen was the first witness called as the subcommittee resumed hearings on wiretap and evesdropping activities by federal agencies. Which brings us to that truck. When the subcommittee produced a photograph of the vehicle, Cohen conceded that it probably was purchased by rev1 enue agents in Pittsburgh to use as a cover while they were tapping the lines of errant taxpayers. He also sadly conceded that said agents in their zeal to enforce the tax laws may have “overstepped proper bounds.” I got the impression that the vehicle may show up on a used

Foreign News Commentary By Henry Shapiro BUCHAREST UPI—Slowly, methodically and irrevocably the Romanians are removing the last remnants of Russian cultural influence in this nonSlavis Communist country. Nothing strikes a visitor who 1 1 has not been here since 1961 1 more than the disappearance of Russian language signs at the airport, the changes of Russian j names of streets into Romanian i ones, the absence of Russian , book stores and the scarcity of | Soviet plays and films. Striking out for cultural as well as economic and political independence from the Soviet bloc the Communist authorities are encouraging a strong form of Romanian nationalism reminiscent of that of Russia at the height of the Stalin era. The latest manifestation of this form of cultural nationalism is the attempted restoration to glory of the once discredited poet Octavian Goga. Goga was a distinguished poet and writer but as prime minister in 1937 of a govern- ■ ment supported by the Fascist “Iron Guard” he was taboo to Communists and Socialists. ; Now the weekly “Literary

Wall Street

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer TWTASHIXGTON — Some top echelon government economists W are showing signs of frustration over their inability to convince the nation of the soundness of the economy. They feel that nothing they say, no matter how well documented, carries conviction with the skeptical public. Their frustrations are a hangover from the unsettling speech by Federal Reserve Board Chairman William McC. Martin W’ho ticked off some “disquieting similarities” between present stock market conditions and those of 1929. The decline in the stock market that had actually begun several weeks before Martin made his now-famous speech and accelerated afterward would have occurred anyway, according to many of these analysts. To these experts, it was simply a matter of investors’

psychology.

That isn’t what’s bothering them.

They are concerned with investor reaction to' something that had been forecast by government economists for the past several

Investor reaction months—the fact that some of the economic belated indices have not maintained during the second

quarter of this year the degree of improve-

ment that was scored in the first quarter.

This slackening off in business advance had been forecast at the beginning of the year, but now that it actually has occurred, there seems to be a shock wave moving through the

nation’s business stream.

This is the real cause of their frustration. The first quarter was strongly influenced by unusually high car sales and steel production, each in its way reflective of the possibility of a spring steel strike. That strike was postponed and as a result buying slacked off somewhat, accounting for the slow-down in

the second quarter.

Economists are convinced that everyone in the business com-, munity knew this would happen but no one paid any attention to it until it actually occurred. • CITY OF SILENCE—Along the banks of a Washington, D. C., stream is a little-remembered cemetery for deceased members of Congress. It is known as the “City of Silence.” Members were buried there, jn the early days of the republic. One of the oldest monuments is to Elbridge Gerry, President James Madison’s vice president. Thaddeus Stevens, who forced the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, is also buried there. The last congressman to be buried there was Tillman B. Parks, of Arkansas, who died in 1950. Sen. Norris Cotton, of New Hampshire, has a Capital's keen interest in delving into historical facts „ about Congress and about Washington.
