Editorial (Reprinted from the American Farm Bureau Federation Official Newsletter) Food for thought The one-year extension of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 passed by the 90th Congress makes it virtually certain that the new 91st Congress, to be elected on Tuesday, November 5, will deal with government farm program legislation. While the Act of 1965 is not now scheduled to expire until December 31, 1970, the new Congress can revise farm program legislation at any time. That the new Congress should act in the interest of farmers by changing the law under which the parity ratio has fallen to 75 is certain. But some observers raise the question as to whether farm legislation will gain consideration at a time when Congress will f&ce many other pressing problems. The editor of the Jackson (Mississippi) Daily News notes that “this belief is based on disturbing facts. Slightly more than 94 percent of the nation’s population live in cities; less than six percent live and work on farms. “The vast majority of the members of Congress now come from the cities where many problems are becoming more critical, and there is a growing clamor for the expenditure of more money.” However, the Mississippi editor continues, “the people who live in towns and cities must realize the basic place of agriculture in American life and their dependance upon the farmers for food and fiber at reasonable prices. “Agriculture is still the nation’s largest industry. Our farms employ nearly six million workers, more than the public utilities, steel, and the automobile industries combined. “Another 10 million people are employed in transporting, storing, processing, packaging, distributing, and retailing farm products. “The nation's farms provide one of the biggest and most dependable markets for most of the products produced by industry.” “Every American, whether he lives in the city or on the farm, has a big stake in the maintenance of a sound and profitable agriculture,” he concludes. * * * “There should be no misconception on the part of those who represent agriculture that the present farm program can be nursed along beyond the extra year already given by Congress,” the Memphis (Tennessee) Commercial Appeal said in an editorial on September 27. “This means there now is an obligation on the part of those who advocated this short-term extension to come up with proposed changes within the next year,” the editor said.

Nixon claims his

opponent has fast tongue on Vietnam

By MERRIMAN SMITH SAGINAW, Mich. (UPI)— Republican presidential candidate Richard M. Nixon today opened an intensive one-day swing through Michigan by heaping new criticism on Hubert Humphrey for a shifty position on Vietnam and for indiscreet public comments on the Paris peace talks. Nixon flew to Saginaw from Toledo, Ohio, where he spent the night. He was greeted at his first stop, an airport rally, by several thousand persons and met by Gov. George Romney and other Michigan Republican officials. In statements issued at Saginaw Nixon added to his overall criticism of the Johnson administration record on Vietnam with new personal jabs at Humphrey for his responsibility and involvement in the Johnson administration war record. “To this dismal administra-

than save, rather talk than mind his tongue on sensitive international matters,” Nixon said. "When a man is on all sides of the issue, he creates a great risk of miscalculation on the part of our adversary,” Nixon said. With a booming, energetic style of attack which has marked Nixon activities the closer he approaches election day, he told the Saginaw audience, sheltered from a chilly wind in an airplane hangar, that he was confident of victory, but intended to “take no chances” and would hit at Humphrey with increasing vigor. He also warned the rally not to “go off on a third party fling” by voting for George C. Wallace, which would only help in electing Humphrey, thus maintaining the Johnson administration another four years.

tion record my opponent brings the fastest tongue and the fastest switch of position ever seen in American politics,” Nixon said. “Mr Humphrey has shown a constitutional inability to treat the Vietnam War and the peace negotiations discreetly, (or) for that matter, understanding^, ever since he started campaigning. “I think the American people will question the peace-keeping capabilities of a candidate who from week to week shows on every issue he would rather switch than fight-rather spend

ANOTHER POLLUTION PROBLEM /few?;

Actor

JIM BISHOP: Reporter

There was power under his big foot and the car crested the rusty hills of Connecticut and lifted and subsided under his beef. Sammy was 235, stretching the cheap suit at the shoulders and thighs. His face had sergeant’s chevrons. This time, he said, this time would be the last. At the cloverleaf, he coasted down and sneaked the car down the main street at sundown. Sammy toed in at a cheap beanery and locked the car and walked pigeon-toed to the counter and ordered muddy coffee and four of the big doughnuts with the jelly inside. The counter girl gave him a special look. “You going to wrestle again?” she said. Sammy nodded. “You going to win?” she said. He shrugged “I’ll be trying,” he said. By day he sold used cars on a lot in Lodi, New Jersey. It was a living. Wrestling was gravy. He used to get $35 a night; now it was up to $50. His ribs and his belly were tender for two days, and his wife nagged him to quit. Sammy wanted to stay because the armories were all within a hundred miles, and a “C” a month would pay the mortgage. His wife won. Sammy hadn’t told the promoter that this was the last one. He’d send a note tomorrow. He left a quarter for the counter girl and licked the jelly from his fingers. The walk to the arena was two blocks. He put five dimes in the parking meter and left the car at the beanery. Sammy was tired all the time. He was tired of selling cars to suspicious customers; tired of performing as a paid

actor in the ring; tired of the nasal whine of his wife. Tired. Tired even in the morning. The armory consisted of a million sunburned bricks. In the ceiling, big moth-lights glared at the ring. A soup plate of seats arced up on all sides. The early fans drank beer and ate hot dogs. An old lady yelled: “You bum, you!” as Sammy walked by He walked toward the high dusty windows and down the steps to the dressing rooms. It smelled of sweat and urine and tincture of iodine. The Man was there. He nodded to Sammy, and pointed to the room on the left. Three wrestlers were lacing up high shoes and hanging saggy trousers on hooks. One was crouching and pressing his legs down, and his knees cracked. Sammy said hello. They could hear all the feet on the wooden floor overhead. The savages were coming in. The Man waited until Sammy was in his tights. Then he called him in the hall. “You angel,” he said. “I just got the word. The opener is going for 17 minutes. The Elephant will heel it tonight. He throws you out of the ring before the first fall. Pick your rope when he gives you the word. On your way back, give him time to roar at the crowd. The Elephant is going to rabbit punch you, some knee work, a head butt and a foot twist. “Do we open?” Sammy said, surprised. “Yeah. ” The Man looked at his watch. “You got eight minutes. We need a rouser to work the crowd up. The thing goes 17 minutes, no more. The Continued on page 7

exam ordered SCRANTON, Pa. (UPI) - A mental examination was ordered today for David Evans, 22, charged with stabbing an Indiana girl to death in a crowded department store because she refused him a date. Mabel L. McLaughlin, 19, of Plymouth, Ind., was stabbed 13 times in the chest last Saturday while horrified customers in the store looked on. Police said Evans shouted “Nobody stands me up,” before attacking the girl. Court appointed attorneys Paul McGlone and Leo Sutherland won a postponement of a hearing Tuesday to obtain a sanity study. They said the defendant had a history of mental problems. Magistrate Cyril Jeffers set Friday for the hearing after Dist. Atty. Joseph Cimino agreed to the postponement.
