within the foreseeable future—barring, of course, an
'even worse recurrence of the recent Southwestern
drought. Man’s ingenuity and new methods of farm
operation can increase production still further when-
ever that is required.
The necessity of increasing production and the
threat of food shortages in our land no doubt lie many
years in the future. Right now many persons are gra-
tified that nature is cooperating for the moment with
our own efforts to hold down farm production.
However, we certainly don’t want to see our farmers
hurt. We would like to see surpluses depleted and 7
agriculture prices strengthened, but not at the ex-
pense of a succession of crop failures. Higher prices
for farm products certainly aren’t going to do the
farmer any good if he doesn’t have any of the products
to sell.
Seat On Security
Council Of UN
Eyed By Japan
By WILLIAM N. OATIS
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. UN-
Twelve years ago Japan was in
the last bitter stages of a losing
war with an alliance called the
United Nations.
Today she is a respected mem-
ber of the international organisa-
tion that grew out of that alli-
ance. And she is campaigning
actively for election to its Security
Council. Many delegates think she
has a good chance of election.
The council has II members.
Three of these seats are to be
filled ' by) secret-ballot elections
when the 81-nation General As-
sembly meets in September. The ■
council members leaving, after
two year terms, will be Austra-
lia. Cuba and the Philippines.
Japan is running for the seat
the Philippines holds.
A "gentlemen’s agreement” in
1946 allotted two of the six non-
permanent seats on the council to
Latin America and one each to
the British Commonwealth, the
Middle East, Western Europe and
Eastern Europe.
The seat the Philippines occu-
pies was assigned in that agree-
ment to Eastern Europe, in ac-
cordance with the principle of
• ‘equitable geographicat distribu
tion" laid down in the U.N. Char-
ter.
The agreement, however, is
tottery.

the Soviet Union, and the Philip-
pines. backed by the United States

Grade-A Bargain
The American people demand good mail service.
If, for any reason; service standards deteriorate, an
uproar is heard from one end of the country to the
other.
The Post Office Department is responsible for the
mails. But there is another organization deeply in-
volved—a private, taxpaying organization — without
which good and economical mail service would be an
impossibility. That organization is the railroad indus-
try.
Every community in the United States is served
by railway mail service. The vast majority receive
their mail by railrosds direct, and the rest by railroads
in combination with other carriers.. Putting it sta-
tistically, more than 99 per cent of our entire popula-
tion lives in the 3,070 counties served directly by
- railroads.
How much does railroad mail service cost? The
answer will surprise most of us. The railroads get
just one-eighth of one cent for carrying a first-class
letter—and they move that letter an average of 487
miles for thst tiny charge. Then, for about one-eighth
of one cent more, the railroads provide the hundreds
of mail cars in which mail is sorted en route, plus the
services of thousands of their own employes who sort,
load and unload sacked mail, plus the use of all man-
ner of necessary facilities—platforms, conveyor belts
and chutes, switching and terminal services, and so
• SUL...................
All this is provided for a total of about one-quarter
of a cent for a first-class letter. That is a grade-A
bargain if there ever was one.
Last week Comedian Jimmy Dur-
ante was a guest at the weekly
Texas Delegation luncheon. He ex-
pressed confusion over the fact
that many more people seem-
ed to be leaving the House Cham-
ber than entering it. He said, in
fact, it reminded him of the
story of the tipsy miss who was
stopped by a "cop" driving the
wrong way on a one-way street.
“Where are you going?" the of-
ficer thundered to the young lady.
"I don't know," she replied, “but
I must be late because everybody
else seems to be leaving from
wherever I am going.”

Airman Donald Wheeler was or-
dered by his Commanding Officer
to get a “white sidewall haircut."
It was mandatory, the CO said,
for all members of the Far East
Command Honor Guard.
The 20 • year • old lad from
Cortez, Colo., said ,"No.” Said he
would accept a standard GI hair-
cut without protest, but he refused
to look like "a shaved jackass.”
By now you know they court-
martialed him and sentenced him
to four months at hard labor.
Several Senators erupted in pro-
test and Wheeler was out and re-
stored to duty in four days. The
Brass said on account at "legal
procedural errors at the summary
court-martial.”
That meant the Air Force was
hollering "Uncle." They’d had en-
ough. Let the boy go. Restore him
quickly to duty and dispose of the
whole case as quietly as possible.
I have stayed out of this rhu-
barb until it was resolved. Mainly
because there were other matters
of principle of somewhat greater
urgency to claim our attention.
I did not want public concentra-
tion, on the disputable case of a
lad who refused to obey an order
to be confused, for example, with
the indisputable case of the GI
whose Constitutional rights were
ravished by our diplomatic pussy-
footers.
Senator Neuberger took this
Wheeler case more seriously. He
said we are “aping the goose -
stepping Prussian Army."
He said the “enlistment rate win
suffer for this foolishness." That
the "punishment should be on the
blundering, discipline nMssed su-
periors, rather than upon the air-
men."
Anyway, once he was free. air-
man Wheeler announced he would
do it “all over again.” Said he
still would not obey an order to
get his head shaved.
There was no test of his deter-
minations. For the Air Force
promptly announced that the Hon-
or Guard which required this trim
had been “disbanded."
I am reassured by the final out.

Foreign Aid
Bill Said
Too Costly
By UX REP. FRANK IKARD
13th Congresslonal District
WASHINGTON - Last week the
House trimmed 750 million dollars
from the bill authorizing the for-
qign aid program and then ap-
proved a 3.1 billion dollar bill. Now
this measure will go to a confer-
ence committee to iron out the
differences between the House and
the Senate. Even with this three-
quarters of a billion dollar reduc-
tion, it seemed to me that the bill
still contained too many extrava-
gancies and unnecessary expendi-
tures to deserve support/
Also the House defeated the
federal aid-to-education bill by an
extremely close vote. This mea-
sure was defeated after an amend-
ment providing that no funds
would be available in States hav-
ing segregated schools was adopt-
ed. Chances are this action on the
part of the House will kill thhis
federal air program for some time
to come.
Problems that have grown up
affecting agriculture all through
this session only emphasise the
hopeless split that has develop
between the . people interested to
agriculture over a suitable pro-
gram. Committees of Congress con-
tinue to seek a means to solvirg
this dilemma and work out a
mor practical and effective agri-
cultural program.
Consideration of the "civil
rights" bill continues in the Senate.
It seems thst much food hss come
from the very fine debate of this
measure that has been going on
there. As has been indicatd here-
tofore, there could be little doubt
but if the people generally under-
stood the effect of some of the
provisions of the administration of
the “civil rights" bill, they would
oppose it vigorously.
This was certainly proved by the
fact that as a result of the tine
debate in the Senate, Section 3 of
the bill waa stricken. This was one
of the most objectionable parte of
the proposal, and if enacted, would
have made it possible for the Fed-
eral Government to use all kinds
of force which if used, would have
violated very American concept
of personal liberty.

Oil Imports
Hot Subject
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK «_On paper the
oil industry looks plenty rich.
World wide production is up. De-
mand is expected to increase
steadily for years. Profits for
many companies are at all time
highs.
But even the wealthy have their
family feuds. And their poor re-
lations.
President Eisenhower has just
stepped into the middle of one of
the DLterest tights—the SKaDDie
over how much foreign oil should
be brought into the United States,
most of it along the eastern sea-
board.
He wants the amount cut volun-
tarily to 11 per cent of domestic
output instead of the IS per cent
scheduled by importers. His plan
carries a threat of federal control,
if ignored.
Four groups could be affected
by the president's plan:
1. Producers. Domestic well
owners see to a cut to imports the
chance to increase their own pro-
duction. now held to 11 days a
month to Texas by tbs regulatory
bodies. Companies with large
overseas oil sources see their
profit margins narrowed if they
can't bring to as much of the oil
they produee more cheaply
abroad. ------
1 Consumers. Their Interests Is
simple. They want plenty of gaso-
line and fuel oil and they would
like to see the price held down
rather than rising again.
3. Defease planners. Their inter-
est is in enough reserves being
found in this country and enough
production facilities developed by

such as the possible cutting off of

• This year's nationwide crop prospects point to the
smallest total crop since 1951. We can't say that this
short crop report would be a cause of satisfaction in
any other country, but oddly enough, some Americans

Economists say farm prices automatically will be
strengthened, giving the farmer a better break as com-
pared with those in other occupations, and the taxpay-
ers won’t be saddled with Targe additional stores of
commodities in the government warehouses.
The United States is the only nation in world his-
tory that has consistently been able to produce more
food than it could eat. People of other parts of the
world have had to struggle hard for food thrugh the
, ages.
I in recent years we have been unable to dispose of all
