Jordan pointed out, for ex ample. that filter tip cigarettes have caused many problem* for farmera, "but if the induatry hadn't had the Ingenuity to pro duce them, then the cancer aeare could have wrecked the whole in dustry." Changes to demand in tobacco 'during the put few yean, Jordan uid, "point up the need for a more up-to-datd research pro gram." In diacuaaing the general farm roeaarch situation with Dr. Shaw, Senator Jordan expreased special intereet in Um scope of work now going on that will expand the in dustrial uses of farm commodi ties. "There la a world of opportun ity for agriculture In this area," Jordan Mid. "Being in the textile busiMM, I know the importance of high quality cotton. Competi tion offered by synthetic fibers is keen, hot there Is always plenty o I room for the better quality cot ton, and this la attained through raaaarch. Farmers not only have to keep up with the competition, but in order to expend markets wa need to find new a sea for the thing* w? already know how to grow in great volume." Jordan Mid he was "gratified at the respect the tobacco program commands In the Deportment. The tobacco program has been getting some abuses from the higher levels in the Department, so I was especially happy to learn that It commands more respect than any" other of the control pro grams.

Washington News Washington, D. C.? Within the next thirty days the subcommit tee headed by Senator Jack Ken nedy, and the full Labor Commit tee. under which the subcommit tee operates, will report out ? bid to amend the basic labor legis lation of the country. It will be reraembere<l4hat Sen ate Democrats, notably Majority Leader Lyndon -Johnson, promis ed his supporters th^t the Demo crats would bring such a measure to the floor of the Senate this year. This point was widely credit ed with having proven the decisive margin in defeating a labor "bill of rights" proposed by Minority Senate Leader William Knowland, of California. Senator Jack Kennedy find* himaelf squarely on the spot as chairman of the subcommittee now working on a draft of such a bill. As a potential preaidential candi date he knows well that to antago nize labor to an extreme degree might nix his chances of labor support at the coming Democratic convention in I960. Already he has exchanged curt reftaarks with labor leaders rang ing In importance all the way up to George Meany. President of the AFlxCIO, in hearings on the con troversial Issues. But the mood of the majority In Congress, and perhaps the majority In organized labor, and certainly among the voters of the nation as a whole, Is strongly In favor of tighter con trols on union officials and union practices. The bill soon to emerge from the subcommittee and then the full committee, then, is a highly important piece of legialation ? from the political and strategical standpoint, aa far as Kennedy is concerned and as far as other possible candidate* In the Senate ernment.

The mood in Congress is trend ing toward asceptance of tax cuts as an inevitable step to be taken by the last session of the 8Sth Congress. When tax cots were first suggested by high govern ment officials a near-stampede developed on Capitol Hill, among lawmakers trying to get on record, and on the bandwagon. Then, as the Administration de monstrated a 'cautious approach to the problem, and as Bernard Baroch and Senator Harry Byrd and others came opposing tax cuts ? because of the high cost of defense ? enthusiasm waned. In the period since the Easter recess ?about, a month ? sentiment has gradually but surely swung around to the. tax-cut remedy as an inevi table one, In the current seces ?to"- * ffl |w Best bets are that some income tax aid will be given the little tax payer, some relief offered on ex cise taxes and perhaps something done to allow business to depreci ' ? a to its piupef tj More rapidly.
