Joe Siracusa, Retired Grocer Succumbs -z, By JAMES L. ADAMS A ground fog of differences between organized farm groups is preventing the Nixon Administration's farm policy planners from getting a good look at grassroots opinion on which way the nation's agriculture should go during the 1970s.

With the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965 due to expire at the end of 1970, United States Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin and his team for the last several months have been on tour, sounding out farm groups and congressional leaders in an attempt to produce a workable policy which will please everybodywell, almost everybody. So far, no specific program has been unveiled, although the secretary has indicated he does lean toward some type of land retirement program to bring farm production more in line with demand. On the other hand he has not called for scrapping the current year-by-year programs which through acreage allotments, price supports and payments attempt to manage farm production. THE REASON no policy has been unveiled to date seems to be the division between the various farm organizations in their approaches to the many problems of agriculture and their failure to come up with workable compromises.

In a recent speech, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Clarence D. Palmby summed up the administration's dilemma: "There are a great number of commodity groups in Americaeach speaking on behalf of a commodity. We have, I believe, at least 75 agricultural organizations concerned with national policy. "To complicate ma 1 1 further, a commodity will often have several groups attempting to speak in its behalf. And they often don't agree on what is needed." WHAT RESULTS, Palmby said, "is a clatter of opinions that are contradictory a clash of opinions and a great deal of downright antagonism." "What we don't get," Palmby said, "is an emerging Viewpoint that is practical, politically realistic, and gener-' ally agreed upon one that farmers and their friends can rally ardund." It is not realistic, Palmby warned, "to assume that a divided agriculture can expect a highly urbanized Congress to pay attention to the needs of farmers.

When farm groups make this assumption when they ignore the changing political times they make it very difficult for their friends to help them." What Palmby didn't say but strongly indicated is that continued failure of farm groups to establish a strong degreee of unity on common problems may result in a warmed over version of the same old programs. It sounds as if Palmby is trying to tell somebody something. Poultry Meeting Set Plans to hold the 51st annual meeting of the Indiana State Attacks Seen As Need For Community If Crispus Attucks High School cannot be integrated at its present location, it should be rebuilt somewhere else, the school's principal said last night. However, the Negro community would be unhappy if the school were torn down and the name were not given to a replacement so the tradition could be carried on, Attucks principal Earl Donalson told the Citizens Advisory Committee on desegregation of the Indianapolis schools. Donalson said Attucks pupils mix with persons of other races "in shopping centers and at ball games, but not in school.

That's the last place to get integrated and it's overdue." He said that while some problems between white and Negro pupils could be expected at the start, "they would work it out." SPEAKING about the school's program, he urged a stronger vocational curriuulum, featuring on-the-job a i i for seniors after they had been trained adequately. Donalson charged industries and trade unions interview pupils for jobs, but fail to come through for applicants. He said that whenever someone wants 10 persons for vacancies, "our student seems to come in 11th, or if they want 15, ours was 16th." Superintendent Stanley C. Campbell suggested in his comments to the committee that one or two vocational-technical schools and good tranportation facilities may be the answer for many pupils throughout the city. He commented that pupils will not leave the high school they are attending to go to attractive facilities unless adenuate transportation is offered.

Commenting on -desegregation, he said, "I don't believe in segregation on the basis of intelligence, either," He did not mention Shortridge Hih School's academic program by name, however. He said that the "neighborhood school" concept has its values, especially to parents in terms of saving transportation costs and providing playground and meeting facilities for the community. But he said it should not be used as a slogan if it does not serve the current needs. In the case of Attucks High School, the neighborhood's school principle is harmful, Campbell said.
