PILEUP OF ALL PILEUPS This is what ensued on the Highway hi freeway on the south side of Riverside, Calif., when a beet truck and a pickup truck collided in fog. More than

inn vehicles crashed into each other in the chain reaction. Two persons were killed, many injured, and eight cars were burned out and morning traffic was snarled for many horns.

On the farm front Indiana ranks 11th

By BERNARD BRENNER UPI Farm Editor WASHINGTON (UPI) — Administration officials are close to a showdown on whether to set next year’s feed grain program themselves or leave the decision to the incoming Nixon administration. Pressures to pass the decision on to the Nixon team were reported strong. Some outgoing officials feel they should not tie the new administration’s hands on details of a program which could account for somewhere near $1.5 billion in the next budget. The general pattern for 1969 price support and production control terms for feed grains is “pretty well set” by law and current supply conditions, one official said today-. But any one of several combinations of price support loans and direct support payment

rates might be used, the official added. And advance estimates of the cost of several possible formulas differ by several hundred million dollars. Under the 1968 program, farmers who grew corn and grain sorghum were eligible for price supports if they idled 20 per cent of their normal acreage of those crops. The support included a price support loan ($1.05 per bushel for corn) plus a support payment (for corn, 30 cents a bushel on half of the farm’s normal production). For 1969 Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman has already announced that barley producers will also be required to reduce acreage if they wish to qualify for price supports. But he has not announced the required acreage retirement level, the price support loan levels for any of the feed crops, or the price support payment levels. Outgoing farm officials believe that whatever combination of terms is set should be designed to hold 1969 feed grain production slightly below probable demand.

BLOOMINGTON—Indiana University ranks 11th and Purdue University 18th in the nation full-time student enrollment, the same positions the two public institutions held last year, according to the annual survey by Dr. Garland G. Parker of the University of Cincinnati. The nation-wide study, conducted for the magazine, “School and Society,” showed Indiana’s full-time enrollment jumped from 37,419 in 1967 to 40,880 this year, an increase of 3,461, or 9 per cent. Purdue increased its full-time enrollment from 25,322 to 26,813, a gain of 1,491, or almost 6 per cent. In total enrollment, including part-time students, Indiana enrolled 52,101 students this year, compared with 47,642 in 1967,, and increase of 4,459 , or almost 10 per cent. With the gain in total enrollment, Indiana moved up from 10th to 9th place nationally; Purdue jumped from 21st to 18th. Dr. Parker’s figures shou'ed Indiana University’s increase of 9 per cent in full-time student enrollment exceeded the average increase of 8 per cent for 86 comparable institutions classified as “large public universities.” Purdue was just under the average. Nationwide, the surge of students onto American college and university campuses swelled en-

On the lighter side

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) - In this period when he is searching for programs that will “bring us together,” President-elect Nixon might do well to give some thought to the New Hebrides islands. I don’t mean he should consider moving to new Hebrides, although the slings and arrows of being U.S. President might eventually tempt him to do something of that sort. What I have in mind is borrowing some ideas from the New Hebrides government.

Tender quiet follows attacks

rollments to record heights again this fall. Returns from 1,145 accredited four-year universities and col-leges--and the two-year schools which they administer—show a total of 4,092,234 full-time students. When part-time students are included, the figure climbs to 5,521,963.

Last year’s figures for 1,132 accredited institutions were 3,854,645 full-time students and an over-all total of 5,219,218.

When reports from all 2,500 institutions of higher education are tallied, Dr. Parker expects total enrollment figures to reach 7,500,000. The nation’s top 10 institutions in full-time enrollment are: State University of New York, 159,153; California State Colleges, 143, ,043; University of California, 92,090; City University of New York, 71,828; Wisconsin State University System, 51,619; University of Minnesota, 47,534; University of Texas, 47,061; University of Wisconsin, 46,932; University of Illinois, 43,527, and Ohio State University, 41,555. University 18th in the nation in City University of New York, 71,828; Wisconsin State University System, 51,619; University of Minnesota, 47,534; University of Texas, 47,061; University of Wisconsin, 46,932; University of Illinois, 43,527, and Ohio State University, 41,555.

By WILBORN R. HAMPTON United Press International In Amman, Jordanians today nervously watched the western skies for further Israeli strike planes. In Cairo, President Carnal Abdel Nasser of Eghpt vowed to suffer a million casualties if necessary to defeat Israel. Washington talked of peace-making and Moscow of Israel's “aggression.” There was no report of ArabIsraeli fighting today. But it was a tender quiet that followed four days of crisscross attacks on the Israel-Jordan cease-fire line, capped by Israeli jets Wednesday bombing and strafing Iraqi troops, artillery and radar posts on Jordanian soil. In Amman, western reports said Israeli jet attacks—ordered because of what Jerusalem called unprovoked Arab attacks against Israel’s border—had visibly shaken morale. They said Jordanians kept glancing up into the sky. Deaths Reported A Jordanian military communique said the Israeli jets killed six persons and wounded 14. In Jerusalem, the Israelis reported one jet shot down, its pilot fatally wounded. In Iraq, Baghdad Radio called on Iraqis to join demonstrations protesting not only the attacks on her expeditionary force in Jordan but also the mere existence of Israel. In Cairo, Nasser Wednesdaynight ended a meeting of his nation’s only legal political party with a call to battle Israel and a warning the cost may be high. “But we shall never hesitate to pay it and will never surrender because if we allow Israel to expand now it will try to expand again in the future,” the Egyptian leader said. “We shall make sacrifices like Algeria which sacrificed a million martyrs” before gaining independence from France, Nasser said

A real quiet job

Nasser Unwilling Nasser also rejected a reported suggestion coming from American State Department talks with Egyptian and Israel diplomats—that each Arab nation reach a separate settlement with Israel. Nasser called it unrealistic.

THALEQUAH, Okla. (UPI)— Bill Lane, caretaker at the Municipal Cemetery, has been the forgotten man in citygovernment for the past 35 years. Lane, 63, who started as caretaker in 1933, has never had a paid vacation and nobody realized it until recently. The city council Monday night awarded Lane a two-week vacation, even though he had taken a few days off in his 35 years on the job. Lane said he had never asked for a vacation.

According to the National Geographic Society, this South Pacific archipelago has three sets of laws, two police forces, two systems of weights and measures, three currencies and two national languages. “Although the system is often jokingly called the ‘Pandmonium,’ the 66,000 islanders are ruled effectively and without friction,” the society says. The society’s wording implies that frictionless effectiveness prevails despite that type of administration. But I’m inclined to believe it comes about because of that type of administration. Friction is avoided because the islanders have so many options available. And I am prepared to argue that their system would be equally effective if adopted by the United States. Take the matter of weights and measures. Congress is constantly being urged to enact laws putting us on the metric system, rather than whatever system it is we use now. The simplest solution would be to use both systems, giving us freedom of choice and thus eliminating the friction that has developed over the issue. Three sets of laws—one for right-wingers, one for leftwingers and one for middle-of-the-roaders—would be even more conducive to harmonious living. If each group had its own set of laws, it would bring an end to the demonstrations,confrontations, riots and other social upheavals now plaguing the country. In New Hebridg they make io with only two police forces. I recommend that America have three—one to enforce each set of laws. The three-currency system apparently would solve our monetary problems. One could be inflationary, one deflationary and the other used for paying taxes. I’m not certain two national languages would be enough. The 66,000 islanders get along all right with only two, but America has a much bigger population. The communications gap in this country is so large it might take five or six national languages to bridge it.
