Farm Front

By BERNARD BRENNER WASHINGTON UPI — Administration farm officials have drafted plans for another step this year in the gradual expan- | sion of the federal crop insurance program. Despite heavy losses in 1967 due largely to crop failures on farms which insured wheat, cotton and oranges, the Federal Crop Insurance Corp. has developed plans to sell an estimated S854.4 million worth of insurance coverage on 1968 crops. This Is an increase of S72.3 million over 1967 and nearly 5218 million above the 1966 figure. The 1968 program planned by FCIC, a government-owned corporation operated by the Agriculture Department, was outlined in the administration’s budget proposals for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1968. FCIC insurance policies protect farmers against crop losses caused by natural dangers such as insect and plant disease damage, fire, flood and weather.

It appears then that victory is in the eyes of the beholder and reflects whatever each considers to be his objective. While the battle for South Vietnam’s cities still raged. Westmoreland pronounced it a costly failure for the enemy. Hanoi trumpeted victory.

When Communist Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap sent his suicide forces into the South Vietnamese cities he had to assume a possible 100 per cent loss among his forces. The Americans say he did lose more than 21,000 killed and more than 5,000 cap-

tured.

Parking problems PITTSBURGH UPI _ City Councilman Charles J.

His own car was towed away for being parked at a yellow line. Leslie said he did not see the line and said he “may” have been parked illegally.

Vietnamese official In Prague, there are some points of agreement. After Dak To, said one American official: “Last spring we were deciding where and when to fight. Now we are reacting to their initiative.” Said the official in Prague: “We were able in 1967 to move around at will. During the last 15 months we moved him (Westmoreland) from the Saigon area to the Tay Ninh Cambodian border area first, then to Pleiku-Dak To and now to the DMZ.” Both sides agree as to the improvement and sophistication of Communist weapons.

Had Westmoreland taken similar losses it may safely be assumed he would by now' have

Back home in Dallas, he surprised friends by nominating Israel as his favorite port of call. “Those Israelis must have Texas blood in their ^ veins,” he enthused. “First of all, they’re just as full of fun as we are.
