(By Bernard Brenner) WASHINGTON UPI — A prominent Farm Belt Democrat plans to buck Johnson administration opposition early next year and push for extra government payments to wheat growers. ITie payment would be designed to persuade farmers to increase production to help meet overseas aid needs and rebuild the nation’s dwindling wheat reserves. Sen. George McGovern, DS.D., a member of the Senate Agricultural Committee and one time director of Food for Peace aid programs, will introduce a bill calling for the wheat payments soon after Congress opens in January. Just how much McGovern will propose offering wheat growers was uncertain. The senator has, in the past, supported plans to give farmers 25 cents per bushel in “export certificate” payments on about two-thirds of the total wheat crop. But an aide said McGovern is also studying an alternative proposed by some South Dakota farm leaders. This plan calls for export payments of 65 cents a bushel on 35 per cent of the wheat crop. Farmers who now comply with government planting allotments for the 1967 crop are guaranteed a basic price support loan of $1.25 per bushel for all of their wheat. On top of this, growers get directly government payments which may be about $1.36 a bushel for about one-third of their crop. The payment is designed to bring farm returns for wheat used as food in the U.S. up to the full “fair earning power” parity level. On all wheat grown beyond tiie domestic market share, however, farmers are currently guaranteed only the $1.25-a-bushel support loan. McGovern’s plan would add extra income to this last portion of the wheat crop. McGovern’s move grows out of his charge last month that the administration was making a "timid and uncertain” start in what had been billed as a stepped-up war against world hunger. The Agriculture Department has raised 1967 wheat planning allotments by 30 per cent, but McGovern said the department’s refusal to offer any price guarantee for the extra wheat beyond the standard $1.25-a-bushel support loan would give

farmers little incentive to produce the needed grain. Capital farm sources predicted McGovern’s plan would face an uphill fight against administration reluctance to increase federal farm spending next year.

Penney Issues Special Checks Associates at the J. C. Penney Company department store in Greencastle received a year-end special payment Monday. Manager Cloyd Moss explained that checks will go to regular and part-time associates employed on or before Dec. 31, 1965, with the exception of members of the management staff. Said Mr. Moss: “The year-end special payment is one of many benefits shared by Penney associates throughout the Company. It is another way the Company demonstrates interest in the welfare of people who are responsible for its continued growth.” The payment this year is in addition to regular Company provisions for sick benefits, medical insurance, group life ins u r a n c e, Penco Retirement Plan, discounts on purchases, and others.

Bible Thought For Today And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. —Matthew 25:30. Jesus reminds us that we will be judged on the worth of our service to our Lord. Judgement will be on the Lord’s standards and not on ours.

Man Is Charged With Murder INDIANAPOLIS UPI— Thomas L. Jones, 36, Indianapolis, was slated to appear in court Tuesday on a murder charge in connection with the shooting death of his father-in-law, Thomas Estep, 59, also of Indianapolis. Jones is accused of shooting Estep in the Jones home following a quarrel with his wife Friday night. Police said Jones left the house and returned with a pistol and fired shots into the house. One of the bullets apparently struck Estep. He died Monday at General Hospital. Police had been searching for Jones following the incident. He appeared at police headquarters Monday morning to answer to charges of assault and battery when it was discovered Estep died.

Hearing Slated

In Memory

Death is like a long vacation One that never has to end, Where we go to meet our Savior Join our loved ones and our friends It’s a Journey up to Heaven Where we’ll join that angel land, How I long for my vacation Over in that Premised Land. Through death’s Valley we must travel And the sting of death we dread But God’s Angels are there to guide us And this path they’re often tread, My Dear Mother they have taken To that promise land at last Tho we miss her we know its

best

All her pain and sorrow are

past

Until that day I’ll be content To live with wonderous things she taught me And the happy years we spent. Written by Winifred Bryant in memory of my beloved Mother, Mollie A. Whitt, who departed from this life Dec. 6,

1965.

Sadly missed by those who loved her.

Progress Reported By CWS Sewing Group The Church World Service Interdenominational Sewing Group at its last four meetings has prepared another box of new garments for refugees abroad. Made by CWS patterns, the clothing included thirteen fivepiece layettes, six dresses with shorts, five boys’ shirts and 7 boys’ shorts. Nine bundles of bandage pads were also part of the shipment, which will be designated partly for Africa and partly for the Near and Far East. The Sewing Group continues to grow and to welcome women willing to give their time and skill to others in this way. The newest project is making patchwork quilts; the ladies need fabric scraps for patches and old blankets and such for filler and backing. The Putnam County Council of Churches has given most of the group’s funds for supplies, but individuals’ contributions of money and goods are also necessary and welcome. People who cannot join the good fellowship of the meetings but who would like to sew at home may get patterns or bandage materials from the group at any meeting or may call OL 39694 to have them Bent. The Sewing Group will not meet in December but will assemble again on the third Monday in January, the sixteenth, from 1 to 3 p. m. at the First Baptist Church.

Seek Sanctions Against Rhodesia LONDON UPI — Britain moved quickly but gingerly today to seek mandatory United Nations economic sanctions to punish Rhodesia’s breakaway government. Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith’s rejection Monday of British Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s final demands for a negotiated settlement of the 13-month-old independence crisis came as a surprise blow. Foreign Secretary George Brown was dispatched to the United Nations today to direct the appeal for sanctions at a Security Council session Thursday. Wilson was addressing the British nation tonight. The address was scheduled for 4 p.m. EST. Government depart ments made final assessments of the weakest spots in the Rhodesian economy, mostly agricultural and mineral, to recommend the most damaging boycott targets —and those which would be least likely to backfire on Britain's own shaky economy.

Corn Harvest Is Slowed INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Rain and freezing temperatures last week slowed the com harvest in Indiana. The harvest was about 20 per cent incomplete, unchanged from a week earlier. Robert E. Straszheim, Purdue agricultural statistician, said the com harvest is somewhat behind both last year and the five-year average. Northwest Indiana’s com harvest was nearly complete, Straszheim said, but was 85 per cent complete in the western third and 75 per cent in the eastern counties. Activities were confined mostly to maintenance and routine chores while two days last week were considered favorable for field work. Topsoil moisture was rated adequate. All up to stands, the winter wheat crop goes into the winter months in good condition, Straszheim said.
