Favor Quotas
By Big Majority
WASHINGTON (UP)
The Agriculture Depart
ment announced today that
the nation’s cotton farmers
have voted overwhelmingly
to submit to production
curbs rather than surrender
high price supports next
year.
The landslide vote for federal
marketing quotas now leaves it up
to Congress to decide Just bow big
a cutback will be involved in the
program which will put more basic
crops under federal production con
trol than at any .time since before
World War 11.
The department said unofficial
returns from yesterday s referen
dum in 20 cotton producing states
show that about 93.2 per cent of
the 478,133 fanners who voted
favored quotas. The actual vote:
445,427 for: 27,899 against, and
4,807 challenged.
Although the total vote was the
smallest of eight quota referendunui
held since 1938 and represented
less than half of the estimated
eligible voters, the percentage in
favor- was close to the largest ever.
This is certain to be used by
farm leaders as more evidence that
farmers want price supports peg

THE RECORD
GETS RESULTS
Plans To Map
Program With
Congress Chiefs
WASHINGTON (UP)
President Eisenhower said ,
today he had not decided |
whether to ask Congress for
permission to share actual
atomic weapons with North
Atlantic Treaty forces.
The President said at his news ';
conference that the Atomic Energy
Act will have to be changed to
permit closer atomic cooperation
with America’s allies.
At a crowded meeting with re- a|
porters, his first since the Big >i
Three conference at Bermuda, El- <
senhower also made these points
Involving atomic energy and the
international scene:
RUSSIA NOTIFIED
1. Russia was notified in ad
vance by U. S. Ambassador Charies
E. Bohlen of his atoms- for-peaeu g
speech to the United Nations Gen- .
eral Assembly last week. He said
no reaction had come from Russia 1
except what had appeared in tod •?;
newspapers.
2. He said he contemplated no ’
charges In this country's atomic
energy laws which would have toe ’
effect of descloelng our scientific f j
processes involved In nuclear fto- /f
sion or the production techniques Ti
far actual weapons.
3. He said that should Ruuta re
ject his atomic pool proposal, that ,
would not stop him from trying to
make the best possible use of the * ‘
plan. He included, however, a re- *S
minder that no definitive word tod
been received from Russia.
4. He disclosed that his atomic
plan was designed intentionally to
, avoid requirement of lnternsdonal
. inspection of ..faottttUCkMᯮl
such a requirement give the
slans cause for automatic rejeettte
of his proposal
TO MAP PROGRAM 1
The President said he aiont vffl J
be responsible for the principles of
the 19M legislative program to to ' I
worked out this week in a series of j
meetings with Republican congns- ,-1
sional leaders.
Elsenhower said the program to
will lay before the legislative lead- J
ers will be subject to modification i
in detail—hut not in principle. » , a
Republican comgreeamen tom
split in public discussions on some i
matters, especially taxation and a
foreign policy.
Eisenhower would not go Into ;|
detail today on his program, but vj
said it will be based on campaign
promises of 1952. He commented
that his administration believes in /'
keeping its pledgee and is going 1
to try its hardest to do that.
The closest he came to bettj|t||
specific on the program was his
disclosure that it does not now la* *1
elude any recommends tioiw on i
civil rights legislation. . .31
