No. I) Good Future Farm Property Values Show Increase for Year WASHINGTON Agriculture Department said today the farm financial situation reflcctf a paradox of declining prices and income on the one hand and increasing agricultural assets on the other. A report prepared for the department's 33rd annual Farm Outlook Conference said farm income has dropped about 10 per cent this year. A further decline is forecast for 1956. Yet, the report said, the value' of farm real estatcr-the major agricultural 3 per cent during the fu-st half of the year.

Frederick V. Waugh, director of the department's economics division, said this increase in farm values obviously reflected farm "optimism" in the longer- term outlook for agriieulture. The confetence, being attended by nearly 400 extension service economists from the various states and hy officials, is discussing economic trends in agriculture. At yesterday's opening meeting, Waugh said he believed farm income would dip further 1956. He said he doubted any changes Congress might make in federal farm aid programs would affect farm income "very decisively" next year.

In discussing the upturn in farm land values despite reduced.farm Jj )rices and income, the department report said a desire on the part of farmers to enlarge their acreage'was one factor in what it palled "this iinusual farm real estate situation." Other' factors were said lo include more liberal loan policies of some mortgage lenders, generally favorable crop yields this year, the favorable outlook for the economy as a whole, and the expectation that the demand for farm land will be favorable in the long run, partly because of a continued high rate of population growth. The musical story of the Negro in the Americas was reviewed for the lola Talk of the Month club last night by Miss EUa Moten, who has gained fame as an entertainer and singer on the stage, the screen and the air waves. Recalling that her people were brought to America as slaves and thai they quickly were forced to break their tribal and family ties. Miss Moten demonstrated that the Negro has contributed to the culture, especially the music, of two continents. She sang several familiar spirituals to illustrate that African rhythms dominate them and have been adopted by the writers of many popular songs.

Skipping to the Carribean she sang tunes found in Haiti and Jamaica, similar in many ways lo those sung by the Negro in North America. Songs from Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries also have been influenced by the Negroes in those nations. Miss Moten pointed out. She sang cvcral of them, learned during he months she spent there -a few years ago: "It was in Brazil that 1 learned ihat people of all races have more similarities than differences," Miss Moten said. "We need to know and to recognize that each race has made great" contributions to the world's culture and that the dif- ferences between peoples less striking than their common needs and desires." Miss Moten described her visit to me it was like home for the first lime in years," she said.

"I learned that I should be proud of my African descent. That the people in my home land have one of the oldest cultures known to man and that they occupy the world's largest continent." But of all the. nations she has visited, Miss Moten America i is still the most beautiful, the most beloved and the one which! offers the individual, regardless of i race, the best opportunity for self! expression and growth. ham, 23, charged der of his mother 43 others in the United Air Lines with the iiiiir who died with explosion of a plane, Monday Willi ercdil and money whcif iiciivMus.

Today's broadcast said: "We cannot discontinue the pro diiclion and testing of mieh'ar weapons so long as both the USA manufacture, such weapons test them.

"Proposals which the USSR put before the United Nations stipulate a total ban in nuclear weapons and their removal from national armaments, "And as one of the fir.sl moves to disarm, the U.S.S.R. suggests that countries which pos.sess nuclear weapons pledge to discontinue their testing. We are ready to do so here and now if the other powers possessing such weapons agree In do the same." Both Britain-and the Uniicrl States- plan to hold new tests next year.
