FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1958 (ARK.) COURIER NEWS Wheat Controls Vote Today Has Political Implications WASHINGTON (AP) Wheat farmers took off from crop work today to ballot in a nationwide referendum on a proposal that the federal government be allowed to restrict production and marketing of wheat next year. Tho purpose of the proposal- made by Secretary of Agriculture Benson under terms of farm-aid to prevent the production next year of a wheat crop that would add to a staggering surplus of the grain. The vote thus has i Important economic significance, and political tvertones as well. An affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of those voting Is required to put the proposal into effect. Some 90,000 growers are eligible to vote In polling place; established in all wheat-growing communities by local and state farmer committees.

Department officials arranged to tabulate the ballots tonight. They expected the results to be known shortly after midnight. Secretary Benson and some other officials said they expected the proposal to win approval. But reports circulated yesterday among wheat traders that private polls showed a possibility quotas would be defeated. Heavy Selling Heavy selling on the Chicago Board of Trade forced wheat futures down yesterday to the lowest prices in more than six years, but by the close they had recovered to to $1.83 a bushel, 4 to of a cent lower than Wednesday's finish.

The referendum is the first held on wheat controls since 1942, when they were approved by an 82.4 per cent majority of the 392,000 growers then voting. Similar controls may be invoked for cotton and corn next year. They already are in effect for peanuts and major types of tobacco. The balloting is being held at a time when the nation is faced with a problem of mounting agri- cultural surpluses and debate rages among farm leaders us to how the problem should be met. Involved in this debate is present farm legislation which has been criticized by Benson as inade quate.

Pressure Strong; Whether or not they like wheat production controls, farmers are under strong economic pressure to approve them, and have done so In all previous votes. A rejection of controls would result In a reduction of wheat price supports next year from the present 90 per cent of parity, or about $2.20 a bushel, to 50 per cent of parity, or about $1.22 a bushel. Parity is a price designed to be fair to farmers in relation to prices they pay. Because of the possible sharp decline in wheat prices that would follow a defeat of controls, Chairman 'Hope (R-Kan) of the House Agriculture Committee has urged Former Caruthersville Nun Dies in St. Louis Word has been received here of he death of Mother Marline, who aught for about 15 years in Ca- farmers to vote for them.

Benson has kept hands off, except to urge all eligible farmers to vote. Party politicians figured that defeat of controls with resulting lower wheat prices would loom prominently In next year's congressional elections, particularly in the Midwest and Great Plains regions where many Republican lawmakers will be up for re-election. To carry out the control program, the department has allotted 62 million acres for, wheat next year compared with 78 million this year. Each farm's marketing quota would be the amount of wheat grown on its allotment. Wheat grown on excess acres would be subject to a penalty tax equal to 45 per cent of parity or about 11.10 a bushel if sold or used.

Hearings End Reed's statement came as the Ways and Means Committee was ending more than two months of hearings on proposals for tax law changes, to be acted on at trie regular session in January. He described the testimony of more than 600 witnesses as a "shocking indictment of the unfairness and confusion of our antiqua- revenue system." He added: "We have heard of innumerable cases of discrimination between various taxpnying groups. We have heard about harsh and inequitable tax provisions which are forcing businesses to shut down. We have heard about the impossibility of understanding many of the ohscure provisions of the tax laws." Reed indicated that tentative changes have the approval of the Treasury Department.

There was no Indication in his statement, however, that the-e Involve any large-scale reductions in revenue. Aside from the committee's work, the excess profits tax law expires at the end of this year. Simultaneously, comes an automatic 10 per cent reduction in per sonal income taxes.

Many Americans stripped their blue prison clothing at the ex change point. Delayed in getting'off his Red truck, one American yelled: "Let's get the hell out of here." They personnel rushed them to nearby Freedom Village for showers, food and interviews on life in the north. Their talk again was filled with the words "progressive" and actionary." As used in the Communist camps the meanings are wryly twisted.

"Reactionary" is a word of his way to resist the Chinese, sabotaged Red propaganda lec- kept up G.I. morale, and who "took care" of the "progressives." Young told how three American "reactionaries" were tried by the Chinese on "armistice for beating up a "progrcc- sive." Young said one of the Americans was sentenced to 2 1 2 years, one to 2 years and one to 6 months in jnil. All three were told they would not be repatriated, Young said. He said that in his company he heard of about five Americans who said they were going to remain behind with the Communists.
