AND 'LABOR' VOTE The American political expert may have to abandon his, long 'habit ol talking broadly about the "farm vote," the "labor vote," and so on For those sweeping terms begin to look out of date.

Let's take this business of the farm vote, for example The clear meaning of the teirn would seem be that all S. farmers can be lumped together, and that often they may be induced to vote together. Thisjjnay once have been true, in the sense that most farmers felt a definite community of interest In competition with other elements of the nation's economy. But it doesn't seem to fit the facts of present day American life. It is not simply that the farmer has become a specialist, he always was that, at least to a degree.

What is so different today is that each kind of farmer-- dairy, poultry, corn-hog, wheat, cattle, and the like--is governed by special provisions of law which affect his business. So a farmer's economic condition today depends not solely upon the curient state of the market for bis particular speciality It depends on the kind and amount and effectiveness of the protection the government is giving him against the ups and downs of his market. His attitude toward his goverrment and toward the two major political parties may be affected closely Washington Column BY PETER EDSON NCA Washington Correspondent IKE MAKING PLANS TO TAKE GOVERNMENT OUT OF A new, concerted-effort on the part of the Elsen- hower administration to take the federal government out of competition with private industry in as many fields as possible is now being put together in the Bureau of the Budget. Within a week or two a new Budget Bureau bulletin on this subject will be jssued to all government departments and agencies. It will probably have full cabinet approval.

It will direct all government officials to make a new survey of private-business- type operations now being conducted under their supervision. Even those activities which are now authorized by public law and supported by congressionally approved appropriations will be included. The bulletin will further order all government heads to submit recommendations on how their private-business-type operations may be eliminated. Such recommendations may include sale of government facilities to private industry, Substitution of private contract for he services now performed by he government, or the complete abandonment of government business, operations which cannot be proved essential. Comparative costs of having these operations continued by the government or having them performed under private contract will be asked for.

On the basis of these comparisons, the fate of many existing government activities will then be decided. If carried to extremes, this new crackdown could mean the end of many government programs and the abolition of many government jobs. Whether it would lead to any appreciable cuts in government expenses is not known, For today there is no complete inventory of government business-type operations, their cost and what it would cost to have the same services performed under private contract for a profit. In a sense, practically everything the government does could be doneMiy private business on contract. This includes heating, air conditioning and performing janitor services in government buildings.

It includes carrying the mail, printing money ad stamps, collecting taxes, running the FBI with private detectives or hirig private law firms to write the laws 01 try the government's cases in court. Some place there has to be a dividing line to separate essential government serviceV like fighting its wars from those services which could be done just as well or better by private enterprise. This line has never been drawn. That's why, in the past, has been so much loose talk and uninformed criticism of goveinment competiton with private enterprise I Upon Closer Examination THE STORY- Greg Seaver, a young man who 'wants to do some- thing on hjs own, leaves the rda- Extremists believe that every government service hve security of working for his should be performed by a private business, even if i tepfather. to become the chauf- by the way he measures his economic status.

The wheat farmer isn't grumbling but his poultry-raising neigh- nor can hardly wait to put down his complaining on the ballot.

The 1954 election hasn't been put under the micro- yet. But even the broadest look at the returns makes it clear there was no general "farmer protest" against the administration's flexible-support policy. Iowa, represented by Sen. Guy Gillette, its most popular Democrat in history, tossed him out in favor of his Republican opponent. The corn-hog farmers can't be too distressed.

Western farmers were said to be slightly unhappy, yet they helped elect Republican in Colorado and did not raise a very big against GOP Senate candidates in Wyoming and Montana. On the other hand, while Senator Ives pressed his Four bills were introduced in the last Congress to survey and control.government business and industrial-type operations. One passed the House but died in the Senate. The last Congiess passed a law to liquidate Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Corporation was sold and the Inland government's synthetic rubber plants are in the process of being sold.

But there are still 75 government corporations in business, some of which compete with or do business I private industry won't do. Once there were 101 such government corporations. In his report to the nation on the accomplishments of the 83rd Congress, President Eisenhower stuck in a paragraph about getting the government out of competition with private business. He also teferred to it in his Hollywood Bowl and McNary Dam speeches.

And dairy farmers also registered gripes in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Life for tlie political expert isn't what it used to be. The object of his attention, the voter, has become a tremendously complex individual. And that makes the expert's job just about 10 times as difficult as in the old days.

For ths irst time it occurred to him that His father's quietness had been neither prtlence nor resignation; had been the deep-rooted erenity of fulfillment. He had adored his wife and like Ms work, le had found living rich and good. Vhy, Greg discovered with a shock of surprise, my father was a success, really a success, not because he conquered life but because he accepted it on its own terms. At a park on the outskirts of town, Greg unhooked the trailer and the three men drove slowly nto Forrestville. Fprrestville was neither jt picaresque village nor a thriving factory town.

It was old, its houses weatherbeaten end unpainted, with an air of hard work and dogged about them. Daggett was having the time of his life and to Greg's surprise he suggested, "There's a hotel of sorts. Let's lunch there for a change The hotel lobby was uninviting with linoleum on the floor and a pot-bellied stove in the middle ci he room. Greg led the way to a corner table in the dining room where Baggett could sit with his )ack to the room. Not until they were seated did he notice with foreboding the three rowdies at the next table who were annoying the waitress, a raw-boned girl with a plain face flushed from exertion and suppressed anger, trying to serve them and at.the same tim to avoid their impertinent hands.

Rupert innocently precipitated the trouble. When the waitress came to take their order he remarked, "A nice girl should not 1)6 pestered by hoodlums shook her head warningly.

When she returned with their order, Rupert smiled at her.

From the next table came a snicker. That guy's making time with your girl, Sam." Greg recognized Sam's type, the kind who seems to be permanently Commando force might have slanted back his brow, it was the army that had taught him all the secrets of fighting; he was spoiling to make use of his knowledge. He looked from Rupert to Greg and then his eyes rested on Daggett's twisted face, "Now I've seen everything, Joe." Greg felt his stomach muscles tighten. conditioned by his training. Whatever (To Be Continued) Less More Butter Bought WASHINGTON (UP) The Agriculture Department has announced that housewives bought more butter and less margarine in September for the sixth successive month.

In a weekend report, the department said housewives bought over sixty million pounds of butter dur Ing September, up five million pounds or 10 per cent from the same month last year. Retail prices averaged 66.4 cents a pound At the same it said household purchases of margarine were Close to eighty-eight million pounds down about three million pounds Office' Cat By JUNIUS LONG WINDED The speaker failed to prove his view, He lacked in vocal strength.
