brought a quickening id the pilar
Adlai Stevcuoii could Ml have
failed ta aaa the poealbUity of add

Mtifffi ihotild tht PreskUfit'i
health tore* him to (top aaida. It
k even lair to say that Stonvaaon
would probably be tka favorite in
a Preaident race not Including flu.
The proepect that the Preaident
might be forced to recooaider hia
deciaion to run, which it now aeenu
be will not be focced to do, cer
tainly influenced Averell Harrl
raan into announcing he would
hereafter be 'an active candidate
Hia frank atatomeat that he would
run on a strong civil righta plat
form brand* Harriman aa the type
candidate who will aplit the party
in a gamble to win, aa did Harry
Truman. auccaaafuUy, In 1M*.
The difference in running
againat Eiaenhower and Dewey,
with a aplit party, might be great
er than aome imagine. In thia con
nection. Nevertheleaa, thia la Har
riman'i avowed atratogy. Mean
while, Stevenaon remains the fav
orite for the Democratic party
nomination.
There are indlcationa that the
Republican Administration is ready
to go into action, in several ways,
to ease the tight economy the na
tion haa auddenly encountered in
thia election year.
Interest ratoa will probably be
lowered soon and the farmer will
be given the benefit of aid pro
grama quicker than aome had ex
pected. The idea la to get money
eaaed up and in circulation and to
give the fanner aome hope for a
brighter future in the four years
than be haa had in the past four.
Action may be taken in both
these fielda by the time you read
thia. It ia almost certain to be
taken in the next two montha.
Senator Richard Ruaaell, admit
tedly one of the moat talented Sen
ators in the upper legialative body,
wanta to convert J.7 billiona voted
for foreign aid by the Houae to the
Air Force. Ruaaell, chairman of
the Senate Armed Porcee Commit
tee, doea not think the U. 8. Air
Force ia being kept on par with
Ruaaia'a and he thinka more money
ia urgently needed.
It ia ironical that Ruaaell will
be following thia approach while
hia retiring colleague. Senator Wal
ter George, la urging the Senate
to restore half ? billion dollars
from the bllltod dollar cut ad
miniatered the aid bill In the
Houae.
In the lower body, Houae Foreign
Affaire Committee Chairman Dick
Richarda, alao retiring after thia
year, won hia battle againat the
Adminiatratlon, Speaker Rayburn
and Joe Martin, when he got the
Houae to auataln hia committee's
action in whacking the foreign aid
bill.
The odda are againat Ruaaell, of
courae, in hia effort to divert for
eign aid money to the U. 6. Air
Force, bqt there are a lot of people

Of Contest To Grow Canning
fhcnlity of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Htniun honored William
Rockefeller, a 18-yaai-old Phalpa.
Naw York, tarn boy, by awarding
him a apodal plaque for hia out
standing achiavamant in winning
tha firet canning cropa content.
William crew ovar 40 tona of
baata on two acrea of land, more
than twica tha vMd hia father
produced on ehnOar ground, and
aoid hia crop to a cannery at a
St of ovar 11000. Tha aonteat,
ly organized by the National
71 Vegetable Growers Aeeoci
ation ana the National Cannera
Aaaociation, waa the ft rat in an
annual aeriee of auch competitiona
daa igned to intereat young people
in farning and the particular
needa of the canning induetxv.
The plaque waa preeented at
tha National Cannera Aaaociation
convention in Atlantic City, where
Secretary Beneon gave a brief
addreaa. praiaing William for hia
aucceaanu work and ezpraaaing hie
approval of tha contaat ana ita
purpoaa. William followed up with
a apeecb of hia own in which ha
explained the roothoda he uaed in
growing tha baeta. He worked
carefully and scientifically at
evary stage of the project and got
aO the helpful advice ba could
from his local Future Parmera of
America chapter, of which ha la
priM riant, at wall aa from )lia high
achool agriculture taachar and nia
father.
The 1965 con teat was a pilot
program in seven states, but in
liK the tannine crope contaat
will ba national and covar every
atata where canning cropa are
grown. All boya and girla between
the agea of 14 and 21 may partici
pate without belonging to any
orsanizatioB or paying any fee.
When they enter the con teat, they
receive automatic memberahip in
NJVGA and may jfet guidance
with their crop raiaing and mar
keting from FT A or 4-H if they
belong to either of theee groupa.
High acbool agriculture teachers,
local 4-H leaden or NJVGA head
quarter! (108 French Hall, Uni
versity of Maaaachuaetta,
Amherst, Maaa.) will diatributa
entry blanks on request. As for
prises, there will be not only ?
national winner, but winners on
the state'snd regional level, too.
William Rockefeller sava he hopes
to win soother sward this year,
but it looks aa if he'll have plenty
of competition. 7
who wuold (eel more confident
that the money was being put to
good um if the Air Force wti
?pending it rather thad a number
of foreign countries .
The battle will probably be in
progress in the Senate when you
read this, or it could be ended.
Chances are the Senate will be re
luctant to increaie aid in this elec
tion year, in spite of Senator
George's plea, but he has been
consistently effective in this re
spect, in past years.
