Moments later the gun went off. "Lynn went back against the wall and bounced off. I was kind of shook. I saw the fire from the gun.

He doubled over, drop- ped the stuff he had in his hand and came back to the middle of the room. I think I blacked out temporarily. I don't remember how Lynn got (here, but he staggered over in front of me somehow," said Shumard. Shumard said he was sitting in a chair across the room from Hafermeh! at the time of the shooting. KeJIey Wagner of McPherson had gone to the party with Hafermehl.

He said he was in (he kitchen when the shot was fired. He testified that at first he thought tiie shot was a firecracker, then he went into the room to see someone unloading a shotgun.

He said on the basis of information made available to him Hafermehl was probably within 14 feet of the muzzle of the gun when it went off. Other witnesses said Hafermehl was about two feet from the gun. The defense's case opened with the presentation of a deposition Jorge Johnson of the Kansas University Medical Center. Dr. Johnson, in the deposition read by McPherson attorney Lloyd Ruppenthal, said he had treated Lancaster for a severed nerve about six months be fore the shooting.

Dr. Severed Nerve Johnson was quoted as saying the severed had caused Lancaster to lose the sense of feeling in his right hand along with an estimated 75 per cent of his strength hi his right index finger, middle finger and thumb. In the deposition, Dr. Johnson said it was possible Lancaster could have recovered some of the use of the fingers, but he could not say without additional examination.

Seeing dangers on every side the National Farmers Union Kansas holds annual confer ence this weekend in Salina. The 300 or so delegates and members expected at Saturday's general session at the National Guard Armory win get a bleal picture of the family farm's present condition and future out look. Among the enemies defined by the'FU are: 1. Plunging parity, now er than the Depression Years of the '30s. (Parity is the relationship of net farmer income to general economic condition of the country).

2. Land-gobbling corporations intent on developing "super- Tarms" and aiming toward eventual control of the nation's agricultural production. 3. Loss of productive land, particularly in the strip mining areas of Southeast Kansas. Lesser foes also will be identified.

Among these are the careless or deliberately destructive hunters. WanCs "Muscle" To give the farmer some muscle in the marketplace, the Farmers Union is attempting to devise a commodity-by-commodity bargaining plan whereby "fair prices" are set which buyers must pay. The FU admits the plan still has bugs and several questions remain unanswered but the rallying cry is to get for the family farmer some of the gains won by labor through collective bargaining. Net income for farms in 1967 will be 10 percent below 1966 and parity now stands in the low 70s, even below the depression year of 1934, the FU says.

In contrast to the American Farm Bureau federation, which again has called for abandonment of all commodity programs operated by the USDA, the Far- programs collective mers Union wants strengthened so the bargaining approach may be used with a spply control. The conference is bound to hear harsh words about the Kansas Senate which this year passed Senate Bill 172.

The bill, an amendment to the state's corporation statute, in effect, would remove the longtime restriction against major corporation farming operations in Kansas. The Farmers Union says tbe introduction ol corporation farming tolls the knell for the family farm and would, ultimately, destroy the economy of small Kansas communities. The FU's fight against House passage of the bill possibly has some political implications. Several Republican senators who voted for passage of the bill have been mentioned as candidates for higher political office in the event U.S. Sen.

Frank Carlson decides to retire and Bob Dole decides to make a race for the Senate seat. The Union's campaign against be bill has drawn good crowds of farmers across the state, most of them vocally opposed to the measure. What, if any, onus has attached to supporters of the bill is the question. A strongly-worded resolution condemning the bill and all other efforts at corporation farming is expected from the conference.
