Presidential press conferences are
comparatively new in our history. Mr.
Hoover held some, but would answer
only questions written out and agreed on
in advance. Mr. Truman followed Mr.
Roosevelt’s expansive methods, and Mr.
Eisenhower has followed that pattern
generally, but in all three cases any di-
rect quotation was forbidden except
when authorized.
We have one plausible explanation of
how the Cross Timbers got that peculiar
name. Mr. W. A. Williams of Abilene
heard the story from his father, who
settled in Montague County in 1872.
Settlers coming in from Louisiana by
mule wagon or ox cart had to cross these
timbered strips, hence Cross Timbers.
That sounds reasonable to us, and until
or unless somebody comes up with a
better origin of the name, our bump of
curiosity will stay in a state of subsid-
ence . . .

Farm Politics Get Involved
By PETER EDSON
WASHINGTON —(NEA) — The fight over
reorganization of the Soil Conservation Service
in the U. S. Department of Agriculture has
now become so involved in farm-organization
polities that few dirt farmers are aware of
all Its ramifications.
On the surface, the main row seems to be
between Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Ben-
son and the National Association of Soil Con-
servation Districts. This newest of the farm
organizations is just beginning to feel its
strength.
Its president, Waters S. Davis, Jr., a League
City, Tex., cattleman, accuses Secretary Ben-
son of plotting to destroy the 2500 existing soil
conservation districts.
Benson denies it, but his reorganization plan
does put the up-to-now independent Soil Conser-
vation Service alongside the old Extension Serv-
ice and an expanded Research Service in a
new Federal-States Relations division under
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture J. Earl Coke.
One of the main difficulties of any reor-
ganization of this kind to that soil conservation
is the new sacred cow of agriculture.
ice, which works in connection with th* states,
the land grant colleges, and the American Farm
Bureau Federation. This setup runs the county-
agent system, with over 12,000 employes, al-
ready on the state payrolls.
It is now admitted that the Extension Serv-
ice may have been slow In taking up soil con-
servation promotion. It has a good alibi in that
it was given no money for this work by Con-
gress and the states. So the job went to the
Soil Conservation Service when it was given
a special mission through the New Deal.
Soil conservation work and general farm man-
agement are so closely related it’s difficult to
tell where one begins and the other leaves off.
What has developed is two sets of experts giv-
ing guidance to formers. In states like Kansas
they are said to work in harmony. In states
like Missouri they have been in frequent con-
flict.
Rivalry Between Groups Serving Formers
An unconscious rivalry has developed between
the two services and their sponsoring organ-
Izations — the Farm Bureau and the Associa-
tion of Soil Conservation Districts. This is in
spite of the fact that county agents probably

Ike Studies Food Pool Plan
By ROBERT S. ALLEN
WASHINGTON — President Ei-
senhower is considering another
history-making international pool-
ing plan.
This one would deal with surplus
food and other commodities.
The President will discuss the
intriguing proposal with Republi-
can congressional leaders during
his series of conferences with them
this week on the Administration’s
legislative program st the coming
session.
Present plans call for including
the commodity pooling concept in
the (second) State of the Union
message the President will lay
before Congress next month.
As in the case of the uranium
pool the President advocated in his
electrifying speech before the Unit-
ed Nations, he would leave the de-
tails of the commodity proposal to
the UN and Congress. He believes
this method offers the best pros-
pects for getting results on both
projects.
At the same time, the President
and his advisers have certain ideas
on what should be done. But these
will be submitted only when (if
ever) such matters are consid-
ered. Otherwise nothing will be
said shout them
The commodity pool, as discuss-
ed in White House councils. is
actually a two-fold plan.
One part relates to surplus food:
the other to commodities, such ss
cotton, wool, flax, rubber, etc. Sev-
eral of the President's lieutenants
even go so far as to include tin.
copper, lead, sine and oil in a pos-
sible pooling list.
The Details
The President favors starting
with the pooling and distribution
of food, and later branching out
into other commodities.
He feels the need for food is
much more urgent throughout the
world then for other items. Also,
thst a successful food project
would greatly facilitate similar ef-
forts with cotton, rubber, etc.
The food pool concept developed
out of the highly successful distri-
bution of food packages to hungry
East Germans.
At one time in the Inner White
House discussions, serious consid-
eration was given to a proposal to
make an outright offer of large
quantities of American food sur-
pluses to Iron Curtain countries,
including Russia. Both the latter
and Its satellites sre confronted
with the worst food shortsge since
World War II.
However, in the end, this was
doorped in favor of a UN food

House assistant C. D. Jackson, in
charge of psychological warfare.
They are pressing the project
as of great value both at home
and abroad; in the former, as a
sound method for dealing with the
difficult problem of disposing of
the pyramiding surpluses of farm
products, and in foreign countries
of meeting the wide-spread need
for more food. In some areas, this
need to so great as to amount to
famine conditions.
The Administration leaders slso
argue that an effective food pool
would be a tremendous weapon
in countering Communist propagan-
da tactics.
Note: One key congressional
leader will not attend the Presi-
dent a legislative conferences. The
absentee is. Representative Dan

One American company supplied
60 per cent of all oil used in the
Korean war.
It to the California-Texas Corpor-
ation. generally known as “Cal-

from its prodigious holdings in oil-
rich Bahrein on the Persian Gulf.

Younger: “You said most of the

Can you give us what that amounts

General Johnson: “About 60 per

Younger: “Sixty per cent and all

Johnson: "That is correct."
Younger: “Where did the other
40 per cent come from?”
