WMhington 25, D. C., May 27,
*W6- Under Article VII of the
Worth Atlantic Pact agreement, the
Article commonly referred to as the
etatui of Forces of the Pact coun-
trlea, American service personnel
subjected to the criminal pro-
cedures of tflie courts within the
country in which they werp serving.
1 feel tha-t our country has erred
in this matter
which has al-
lowed our mili-
tary personnel
to be tried in
foreign courts
and subjected to
the punishment
of these courts.
I for one do not
advocate our
military personnel hiding behind
ttc American nag when they vio-
late basic rules of justice—they
Should be punished. However, I do
feel that our military code is quite
capable and adequate to cope with
these matters and that they should
be turned over to military juris-
diction for trial and punishment,
even though they have violated a
cival or criinnal code of the foreign
country. Because of this, I intro-
duced a Concurrent Resolution
directing the President of the Unit-
ed States to enter into negotia-
tions with the Atlantic Pact coun-
tries for the purpose of amending
or deleting this provision entirely
from the agreements.
An Interesting sidelight on this
matter took place during the debate
on the Armed Forces Reserve bill
last week, when the Representa-
tive Bow of Ohio offered an amend-
ment to the bill which would have
precluded any men brought into
the military service under the pro-
visions of the bill from serving in
any of the foreign countries who
were Members of the North At-
lantic Pact group and where the
military personnel were subjected
to this agreement. The amend-
ment carried and the result was
that it so weakened the Reserve
bill that the Armed Services Com-
mittee withdrew if from furthur
consideration by the House. As a
result, additional Resolutions were
introduced by other Members of the
House directing that the President
Thursday Evening. June 2, 1955— THE PALMEK RUSTLE* —
This week the congress has been
rather quiet. The House and Sanate
both adopted the conference re-
port on donable property whloh
will amend the Federal Property
and Administration Service Act of
1949 so as to Improve the adminis-
tration of the program for the
utilization of surplus property for
educational and public health pur-
poses. Any School Districts who
are interested in securing surplus
Federal property may contact Mr.
L. K. Barry, Director of the Texas
State Agency for Surplus Property
at Fourth Army Headquarters, Fort
Sam Houston, Texas, who is in a
position to supply information on
this program.
The Committee on Agriculture
voted to report to the House for
its considertion a bill extending
for 3'a years the program of re-
cruitment of agricultural workers
from Mexico. The bill would elimi-
nate double liability for transpor-
tation and expenses of Mexican
workers back and forth to Mexico
wrere the employer has paid such
expenses, but the .worker does not
return and is picked up at a later
date by Immigration authorities.
On Wednesday, the House of
Representatives voted to make
agricultural commodities owned by
the Commodity Credit Corporation
available tq persons in need in
aieas of acute distress. The same
date the Senate adopted legislation
which would reduce the interet
rates on disaster loaais from 5 to 3
percent and the bill now comes to
the House for its consideration. At
the same time, a sub-committee
of the house Agriculture Committee
■was holding hearings on legislation
which would reduce the interest
years the authority of the admin-
istrator of the Fanners Home Ad-
ministration to make such disaster
loans.

A year-long campaign for ad-
ditional waterways on farms of the
Ennis area will open Wednesday,
Pat Carpenter, local SGS work unit
conservationists, anounced today.
He stated there is need for 1,470
such waterways In the Ennis area
bounded on the north by Bear
Creek, on the east by the Trinity
River, an the South by the county
line, and on the west by a line
running through Bardwell and
Rockett.
“Plans arc to work right behind
the combines In getting waterways
marked out," Carpenter stated.
"Some small grain farmers will
be able to sod this fall if we get
any rain at all”, he added.
Sodding and seeding of the wa-
terways will be chiefly with com-
mon bermuda, coastal bennuda
native blue-stem seed, King Ranch
bluefrttem 'seed, Indiangnass seed
and sideoats-gramma, he stated.
Sodding can be done in the fall
but seeding must be done in the
spring. Carpenter stated He said
an early seed bed is 90 per cent of
the Job.
Waterways on farms wrill be lo-
cated on farms as soon as the har-
vests of the various crops are in
Carpenter said.
The services of the SOS work
unit are free and the ASC program
assists in about half of the cost
of land preparation, seed and sod,
and fertilizer, he stnted.
The Ellis-PraLrie Soil Conserva-
tion District ha* equipment avail-
able for use at a small fee. The
district has a two row sodding ma-
chine and a grass seed drill avail-
able for the use of fanners.
The waterway work will be car-
ried out on farms which have soil
conservation plans. Those fanners
who don’t at, present have soil con-
servation plans should let the

trict and the local Soil Conserva-
tion Service assist him in prepar-
ing such plains, Carpenter stated.
extending the spring planting sea-
son. Good moisture is present
enough in most soils In the district
to get up stands of summer legumes.
The last several years the, drought
ha« kept many farmers from plant-
ing late crops. "In the Ellis-Prairie
Soil Conservation District, cowpeus
are the mast popular summer le-
gume planted,’ reports Pat Carpen-
ter, work unit conservationist at
Ennis. Other legumes such as guar,
tTatalarla, and soybeans can be
planted in the district as late as
July and lnformalon on these crops
are, available In the work unit of-
fices of the SCS. Field technicians
wrill be glad to chock your soil and
help you determine what summer
legume to plant.
"There's a real opportunity this
year on stubble laud," says Carpen-
ter. Last fall many acres were
planted ro smau grain and winter
legumes to be u<* u ior.hay or graz-
ing. This has been carried out and
farmers are wondering what to do
with the, land now. With the pres-
ent moisture conditions—the farm-
er can plow the land shallow and
drill or row' plant summer legumes.
These crqps mature quickly and oft-
en two or three volunteer crops can
be plowed Into the soli by frost.
