- Area Opinion Sampler
IS IT GOOD OR BAD?
Much has been written dur-
ing the past 15 years about
the "surplus” of agricultural
commodities. The opinions have
been many and varied, and
Congress has tried to get the
answers each session when
members considered legislation.
In a recent release from his
office at Austin, John C. White,
Commissioner of Agriculture,
discusses this fact of American
production. Under the title,
"Overproduction: A Surplus of
Strategic Deserve,” he comment-
ed as follows:
This nation has an abund-
ance of two strategic defense
items—Armed Forces and Agri-
culture. The first gets much
deserved public praise while
the second is generally mis-
understood and harshly criti-
'€lZ6d«
Yet, our agricultural abund-
ance is just as important a de-
fense reserve as our military
might. And the farmer plays
just as big a role in national
defense as our fighting men.
We all understand and don’t
complain about the fact that
over 50c of every tax dollar goes
into military spending. But a
host of people get indignant
over the 6 cents which goes to
promote a healthy farm econo-
my—and thi£ 6 cents has per-
formed production and defense
miracles that are the envy of
the world.
The confusing cloud of con-
troversy that surrounds the
American farmer tends to ob-
scure the fact that an abund-
ance of foodstuffs is our great-
est asset. Without food, you

GLENN A. KIDWELL, W. M.
W. A. BISHOP, Secretary
don’t have anything. You don’t
have the power to wage a sus-
tained war nor power to main-
tain a stable peace. And this
nation couldn’t possibly be en-
joying the level of prosperity
existing today.
Is foor a “scandalous sur-
plus”? When viewed in the
same light, all those guns and
planes and military men in the
armed forces today are actually
surplus items. They are in the
same category as the wheat,
corn and cotton we have stored
in our warehouses.
“Oh,” some will argue,
“There’s a difference! We need
the military men and equip-
ment to defend us.” That’s
true. But we also need that
food in production and on re-
serve as a strategic defense
item. And stockpiling food is
a good deal less expensive than
maintaining the army, the navv
and the air force.
It is surprising to see how
many politicians and business
leaders look on food as a non-
strategic item. Yet, it is an ad-
mitted fact, that agricultural
failures in Russia are the main
cause in the breakdown of the
Communist time-table to en-
slave the world.
So it appears that farmers
are continually being “city-
slicked” in regard to telling
everybody -the difference be-
tween surpluses and strategic
reserves. And those who criti-
cize agricultural program costs
are completely unaware of the
enormously greater expense
which the government incurs by
subsidizing the post office, the
air lines, the shipping lines,
the railroads, and hundreds of
other businesses and industries.
Food, after all, is th emightiest
weapon for war and peace that
we have.

Stringent Driving Responsibility
Law In Effect On January 1,1964
The director of the Texas
department of Public Safety to-
i.ay reminded motorists that
nore stringent provisions of the
tate’s safety responsibility law
equiring drivers and owners

o others in traffic accidents—
became effective January 1.
Col. Homer Garrison Jr., DPS
lirector, emphasized that the
law required the Department to
suspend the driver licenses and
vehicle registrations of drivers
and owners who are not in
compliance with the law at the
lime of accident involvement, if
the accident comes under the
Safety Responsibility Act.
The law provides that driv-
diction, and a copy of such
finding is filed with the De-
partment.
“5. The operator and owner
deposit with the Department
cash or bond security in an
amount sufficient to cover any
judgment for damages result-
ing from the accident that
might be obtained by damaged
or injured persons, which in
no case shall be less than $200.”
In addition, the operator and
owner must file proof of finan-
cial responsibility for the fu-
ture and must maintain it for
five years.
Garrison noted that under
the new law, suspensions of
licenses and registrations will
