ON THE FARM FRONT

By Bernard Brenner WASHINGTON UPI — Administration farm aides and a House farm bloc spokesman agreed today they see little chance this year for enactment of a bill to increase government support payments to growers of wheat and feed grains. Sen. George McGovern, DS. D., chief sponsor of the bill, ■aid recently that he and more then seven other farm belt senators have agreed to make the measure their major 1967 effort to improve grain Income. Backing this drive, the National Fanners Union earlier this week brought more than 400 members from grain-grow-ing states to the capitol to lobby for the legislation. An aide to Agriculture Secretary Orville I* Freeman said today, however, that administration officials decided early this year there was no practical hope for passage of the McGovern measure. Nothing that has happened recently has changed that assessment as far as prospects for congressional action this year, the aide said. Administration officials have had some “very preliminary” discussions among themselves about the possibility of a 1968 move to get increased payments to farmers on wheat grown for export, the aide said. But no decisions of any kind have been made, he emphasized. Rep. Graham Purcell, D-Tex., chairman of a House subcommittee which handles wheat legislation, said in an interview he has no immediate plans to introduce or hold hearings on legislation modeled on the McGovern MIL 'Td be for it if I thought there was any chance we could pass it,” Purcell said. But he indicated he saw no chance at present. An aide to MjcGovem, meanwhile, reported the senator and Sans. Milton R. Young, R-N. D., and Walter F.

dations for possible action next year than at any solid hopes for action in 1967. One farm belt source which supports McGovern’s plan said both political parties may be interested in finding a way to ease farmer discontent in 1968, a presidential election year. McGovern’s bill would give wheat growers “export certificate” payments of 65 cents per bushel on 35 per cent of the

crop; It would also boost feed grain price supports to 90 per cent of parity. Producers of broilers, turkeys and eggs, beset by low farmlevel prices and rising costs, have begun taking steps to bring production down, the Agriculture Department said today. “This will probably lend some

strength to prices hi coming months,” the department said in a “poultry and egg situation” report “Nevertheless, turkey and egg prices may continue to run below 1966 levels through 1967 although broiler prices may be back to year-earlier levels before the end of the July-Sep-tember quarter.**

Argentina can't get rid of whaling ship BUENOS AIRES UPI—The biggest white elephant this side of Kenya has barnacles on her belly. The government would like to sell It In fact Argentina has been trying to sell the ill-fated “Cruz del Sur” (Southern Cross) waling ship since 1955. The 630-foot-long factory ship was built in Belfast Ireland, in the early 1960s. She was jinxed even before sliding down the ways. Several months before launching, a steel catwalk on the ship fell. Twenty of the 62 workmen on the catwalk were killed. On this side of the Atlantic, the Argentine Fishing Company (Compania Argentina de Pesca) had its troubles. It had ordered the ship at a cost of 2.9 million pounds sterling (58,120,000). The company planned to use the ship to process 2,500 tons of whale meat a day, with a crew of 484 men, near South Georgia Island. The ship was first christened “Juan Peron,” after the Argentine president who had ordered the Central Bank to let the fishing company have pounds to pay fear her. Ike “Juan Peron” arrived in December, 1962, loaded with petroleum. Her draught prevented the 32,000-teai ship from entering access channels to port, so the "petroleum was loaded into lighters. Within hours of the arrival, the government embargoed the ship and accused the company of misusing foreign exchange. The “Juan Peron” rode at anchor in port for two years as security on the loan for her construction. The company could not hunt whales, anyway: only one of 15 catcher boats had been delivered. The government turned over the ship to the National Maritime Prefecture for cadet training cruises. She then passed into the hands of the government oil monopoly, YPF (Yacimientos Petroliferos Fisc ales). On two trips to Curacao in the Caribbean, she proved worthless os an Ml transport The regime that deposed Juan Peron from power rechristened the ship “Cruz del Sur,” in hopes the new name would bring luck. YPF tried to swap her for two other vessels, tossing in 10,000 tons of fuel Ml in the bargain, but there were no takers. The “Cruz del Sur” has spent the rest of her career at another —either here, or in Rosario, where she was a nuisance to navigation. She has been offered for sale a half dozen times. The fifth time, 17 companies bid, but the best offer was about 400,000 pounds sterling (31,120,000). The sixth time, about two years ago, the Buenos Aires Municipal Bank (sort of a city hockshop) tried to auction the “Cruz del Sur”. Several newsmen attended the auction, but there were no bidders. Since the whaling industry has shrunk around the world, the “Cruz del Sur” may be worthless except as scrap— 32,000 tons of expensive scrap.

NEW YORK UPI—Rejection by the college of your chMce need not be the end of the line, according to College Entrance Guide, by Bernice W. Einstein (Grosset & Dunlap 51.59). Mrs. Einstein, a college adviser in the High School of Art and Design, New York, gives 12 suggestions for rejected students which, “if followed conscentiously and immediately will assist students in securing admission to college.” *T. Confer with the high school adviser, who 'may be able to suggest some colleges looking for students. Contrary to public belief, not all colleges are overcrowded. Even In July, many colleges throughout the country do have vacancies. "2. Be willing to go far from home, if necessary. Also be flexible in personal requirements for the college to be attended. “3. Register with one of the three nonprofit College Admissions Information Centers: College Admissions Assistance Center 41 East 65th St, New York, N. Y. 10021 College Admissions Center 610 Church St, Evanston, HI. 60201 Catholic Colleges Admission and Information Center 3806 McKinley St, Washington, D. C. 20015 “4. Write to the Council for the Advancement of Small Colleges, 1051 New Hamphire Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20036. “5. Write to the Changing Times Reprint Service, 1729 H Street N. W., Washington, D. C., 20006, for a copy of its annual Survey of Colleges. (Enclose 75 cents). “6. Apply to junior or community colleges that are still accepting applications. “7. Apply to the evening session or School of General Studies of nearby colleges. Later on, transfer to the college day session may be aranged. . . . “8. Arrange to take College Entrance Examinations again. “9. Change the major field of

specialization to a related one for which college admission requirements are not so stringent; e.g., a student rejected by Colleges of Architecture may change his major to Interior design. “10. Apply to colleges with openings in special fields, like art, business, home economics, etc. Later on, change to the liberal arts program is often possible. “11. Spend some time In honest self-appraisal. Failure to be admitted to college may have been the result of unwise college selections. On the other hand it may have been caused by weakness in reading and mathematical skills, in study habits. . . . “12. Prepare to meet collegeadmission requirements. A They should begin a self-help program of thoughtful reading and studying. B—They should enroll at a college that gives college-preparatory courses for high school graduates. • • .**
