Green Boy Press-Gazette Friday, Nov. 8, 1968 A-3 Drop in Troop Morale Feared During Expanded Talks First Coal SAIGON A senior U.S. Arrives at Power Plant with "fight-and-talk" tactics. The enemy promises major military operations that will reinforce the hands of their negotiators in Paris. The U.S.

Command feels this propaganda may be an accurate reflection of the enemy's intentions. Gen. Creighton Abrams staff already is planning a major offensive, both to counter Hanoi's plans and to strengthen the allied side at the bargaining table. "We can play fight-talk as well or better than they can," one source said. troops fighting spirit, the source said.

Difficulties in getting the peace conference going has resulted in "healthy" cynicism on the part of American troops, he explained. One military source said the gravest concern is for the morale of the South Vietnamese troops, many of whom have been fighting off and on for a dozen years or more. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese are bombarding the Saigon government's regular army and its militiamen with propaganda on the theme that There is a strong possibility that the highest monthly casualty tolls of the war are not in the past but in the future. U.S. military sources often point out that more Americans died after the Korean peace talks than before.

The U.S. Command is carefully monitoring the mood of American GI's throughout the country for any sign of a slip in morale. One source said as yet none has appeared. If it does, a large-scale indoctrination program will be launched to counter it. the war is almost over.

President Nguyen Van Thieu in a nationwide radio TV address warned: "Don't believe the Communist propaganda that the war soon will be over and to throw down your arms." Desertion always has been one of the biggest problems among Saigon's divisions; the prospect, false though it obviously is, of an early peace could escalate the trend. The enemy on the other hand has kicked off a major propaganda campaign to convince its troops that they can win the war Although the morale of the U.S. troops may not have slipped since President Johnson stopped the bombing of North Vietnam a week ago, morale appears to be down considerably from 1965 and 1966. Then rifle duty was not nearly so dangerous, and a feeling prevailed among many that with the arrival of American infantry divisions, the Viet Cong would be crushed fairly rapidly. Many of the soldiers who served in that period now are returning to Vietnam for a second tour.

military source expressed concern today that the fighting morale of U.S. and South Vietnamese troops may suffer a serious drop once full-fledged peace talks get under way in Paris. The concern stems from the old military adage that no soldier wants to be the last man killed in any war. South Vietnam's boycott of the Paris talks may help prevent serious deterioration in the CHICAGO (AP) First shipments of badly needed coal could arrive at the Wisconsin Electric Power Co.

Ralph Bergman, director of the city-county planning office, told the executive committee of the Brown County Regional Plan Commission Thursday night that the county has been granted $33,500 under the Land and Water Conservation Act (LAW-CON) to purchase about 92 acres for a park. The Rockwood Lodge area is cne of the few remaining undeveloped bayshore areas, Bergman told the group.

The proposal and application for the federal funds has been in process for 16 months, he said. The area to be purchased was one recommended by consulting planners a n-Aschman Associates, Chicago.

At the banquet, the Wis-sin Farm Bureau presented its Service to Agriculture Award to Verne Varney, retired assistant state 4-H club leader. Varney, who served more than 37 years with the Wisconsin Extension Service, was especially cited for his development of 4-H programs in drama, safety, music and according to Hardiman. He noted that the organization's insurance business is continuing to expand, and that its affiliated supply cooperative, FS Services, continues to break records.

"We don't dump milk, shoot hogs, burn grain or boycott a packer's products in the grocery store to get front page headlines," Hood commented in reviewing the American Agricultural Marketing Association's far flung activities. Tells of Progress "But we have a total of 46 marketing projects in 32 states which handled $2 billion in commodities in 1967, including $50 million in foreign trade." Hood said progress has been steady, seldom spectacular and has required research and careful study before making new ventures. "Anybody who says he has pat answers to marketing problems is either ignorant, naive or dishonest," he remarked. He concurred with Hardiman on the farm vote impact. He also saw farmers faring better in Washington.

"We haven't had too much trouble in the House," Hood acknowledged. "We have had some in the Senate but we can tion. They also made it known that they don't want another secretary of agriculture like we have had for the past eight years," Hardiman said. Orville Freeman, he remarked has been too much of a politican. "We need somebody to clean house in the Department of Agriculture.

We need to get rid of the one-track thinkers. We need new ideas and new approaches to agriculture's problems. We do need government assistance, of course, but we don't want government insistence," Hardiman added. Reviews Activities Reviewing the state organization's activities, he cited as a major achievement the effort to bring the California Canners and Growers into Wisconsin. The nation's largest farmer-owned canning enterprise has begun construction of a $6.5 million plant at Lomira.

"The operation called for 20,000 acres of vegetable production, and will bring about a more competitive climate which will help Wisconsin farmers in the future," Hardiman predicted. New Farm Bureau livestock ventures are proving successful and are growing rapidly, expect some improvement there. "The major stumbling block has been the high pressure tactics of the administration. The new administration at least at the start," he predict "will be more friendly." More concern for the farmer on the part of the Department of Agriculture is anticipated by Doup, who has headed the Indiana Farm Bureau for some 10 years. "They have been on a consumer kick, and I am getting tired of it," he complained.

"We need a secretary of agriculture, who has concern principally for the farmer and not the consumer." If the farmer gets a good deal, he asserted, the consumer still won't be harmed because it will make very little difference in the final retail prices. Doup called for a "market oriented supply management program, rather than the conglomeration that is now administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture." Program Outlined He proposed an overall program of eight points: 1. Expansion of farm land retirement to help reduce sur 816 member families, according to Fay Mead, secretary and administrator. This is an increase of 1,505 over last year, and includes 4,111 new members.

"This was the largest number of new members in 15 years," Mead pointed out. Held at the Lorraine Hotel, Thursday's convention also included a warning from Dr. Richard Delorit, vice president of River Falls State University and a member of the Tarr Task Force. Dr. Delorit urged responsible citizens to earnestly study and tackle the problems of local government.

Resolutions Scheduled "Local rule will soon fade from our vocabulary and our lives," he said, "unless local government is set up to successfully cope with the problems which we face." Debate and action on policy resolutions, along with election of directors, were on the agenda today. A meeting of the auxiliary Farm Bureau Women was also scheduled. The Farm Bureau Young Farmers will open their meeting this evening, concluding with a banquet Saturday night. President Hardiman stated that farmers in Wisconsin and over the country were an important factor in the presidential election.

"The opportunity is here now for a change in the na-t i a 1 farm scene," said George Doup, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau. Though enthusiastically applauded, the political remarks of the three speakers were incidental. Their main business was picturing the Farm Bureau movement as vigorous, growing, sound and increasingly successful in its program.

Awards Presented Success brought special recognition at the traditional farm family banquet Thursday evening. Awards were presented to the presidents of all 55 affiliated county organizations for registering membership gains four years in a row. This was, it was proclaimed, a national Farm Bureau record.

Present cultural tendencies, he said, are toward a super-rational, technological future in which man is only a material or a means. This tendency must be resisted by intelligent Christian-minded leaders. Cardinal Landazuri contrasted today with the 13th Century in men want to be free to live as mature human beings.

The crisis is world wide, Cardinal Landazuri declared, as the hungry nations of the world turn for help to the rich while the imbalance of modern economy is increasing rather than diminishing the disparity in standards of living. "This is our world," he said. "Divided by unjust economic, bertine Order to establish a Latin American campus for St. Norbert College would be successful and that the campus would be in Lima, Peru. Cardinal Landazuri was cited by the college as a "scholar, educator and promoter of education" whose life has been a "whirlwind of vital activity" punctuated by his "penetrating bishop of Lima and Primate of church is not here for herself! but to be of service to the world." Surmounting the crisis of ma- turity, he concluded, demands "new men for a new world." There must be a new way of living in Christian love which, nevertheless, casts a critical, judging eye toward society.
