On The Farm Front By CARLO J. SALZANTO WASHINGTON UPI — The scales which have been weighting against the dairy framer are starting to tip the other way. As a general rule, when beef cattle prices go up, more farmers start moving their cows to the slaughterhouse and getting out of the dairy business. This is what happened in 1965 and earlier this year when the number of milk cows dropped a record 6 per cent from the previous 12-month period. But the Agriculture Department sees a reversal of that trend during the last half of 1966 and the first half of 1967 as a result of larger supplies of meat and poultry and higher milk prices. With improved price and income prospects, the decline In the number of milk cows during the next year Is expected to be closer to the annual average of 3 per cent. Milk production in 1966 is expected to be close to 121.5 billion pounds compared with 125 billion pounds in 1965. The production of butter, faced with competition from the margarine Industry, la expected to continue dipping the rest of this year. The outlook for 1966 is for the production of 564.8 million pounds of butter, down 6.8 per cent from 1965. The 1965 output of 606.3 million pounds was 9 per cent under the previous year.

a Democratic administration triumphantly chosen by 1964 being kicked around in 1966 by fellow Democrats. The protesting Democrats are not obscure political malcontents, either. They are party big shots. Former President Harry S. Truman threw a high hard one at Johnson last week. What HST said, in effect, was: Get off it, Lyndon, and do something about high interest rates before another recession destroys all. Johnson replied to Truman that the country was in no danger of recession or depression. Pollyanna couldn’t have said it better. Meanwhile, Sen. Vance Hartke, D-Ind., challenged the President’s confident statement that there was no danger of recession or depression. Selected industrial areas already have been hit by depression, Hartke snapped back at John. The senator cited the home building industry, which was swooning under the burden of high interest rates until Congress voted an

Cons Try To Build Balloon NASHVILLE, Tenn. UPI — Convicts at Tennessee State Prison remained behind bars today after their dream of freedom in a hurry burst like a balloon. Hie balloon, in fact, never got off the ground, because the prisoners apparently ran out of time to build it. Officials found 400 yards of blue broadcloth lined with paper strewn on the floors of the prison’s clothing and upholstering shops after the Labor Day weekend. The convicts had not even had time to hide the materials for their proposed venture into space. Said Warden C. Murray Henderson with awe: “I honestly think they were planning to float over the prison walls.’

Wall Street Chatter

NEW YORK UPI — Tessel, Patrick & Ostrau Inc. says that while it is yet too soon to say that the lows of the year have been seen, it can be said that the market is probably no more than two or three weeks away from an important bottom.

- Bache & Co. says the market is probably in a position to respond to action of a positive nature but as long as vacillation Is the policy "from on high,” genuine upside enthusiasm cannot be generated.

Adding to the bad news of a bad week for the Johnson administration was the revelation in House of Representatives debate that another $5 to |15 billion will need to be appropriated early next year to carry on the war in Southeast Asia and that a 1967 tax increase is very likely. This bad news came from a man who knows what he is talking about — chairman

George Mahon of the Rouse Appropriations Committee, a fellow Texan, no less. That chairmanship is a congressional power center. Another big gun is shelling administration Viet Nam policies. The gun crew serving this weapon is directed by Foreign Relations Committee Chairman J. William Fulbright. A headstrong foreign relations chairman can cause presidential headaches. That is a Fulbright specialty.
