XL wieumccn Senate Passes Farm Bill Wrought Us and Gladys Shields of the Jeffeson Review on a recent trip to Northern California drove from Areata to Redding through the Trinity mountains.

Gladys described the trip in her Coffee Cup Clatter column of the Review. She didn't think much of the highway which "winds up the grade like relaxed spaghetti" but she was charmed with Weaver-vtlle. Like Jacksonville, it is a museum piece itself, but let Gladys describe it: AH was forgotten when we reached Weaver-vitle. and drove onto (lain street.

An office building across the street has one. A long one-story brick building is painted barn red, with a cutout gingerbread trim in white across the top.

It till doesn't come to grips with the farm problem, but it does put some brakes on the accumulation of uneconomic surpluses.

The House has still to act. but since this is the last chance'' for the present session it is safe to conclude a bill will be passed substantially like that which was adopted by the Senate Friday, 62 to 11. Perhaps the chief feature of the new bill la removal of acreage controls on corn with different levels inside and outside the "commercial" lone of corn-growing, and for those who accepted controls and those who didn't It was generally conceded that the old party program with acreage controls wasn't working with corn which it used chiefly for animal feed. The new support comes in guaranteeing 90 per cent of the average price for the past three years, with a minimum of 11.10 a bushel or 60 per cent of parity. To make the bill more palatable, the Senate included extension for four years of the wool subsidy.

Formerly the subsidy came from duties on 'wool imports and was figured at 110 per cent of parity. The support Is dropped to 85 per cent, with a call on the treasury if necessary. The bill also gives authority for selling $3 billion worth of stored farm commodities overseas. This should relieve some of the storage, but it still doesn't get production back to economic levels, and presumably, with wheat, will continue to irritate our Canadian cousins. The Statesman would be more enthusiastic for this moderate farm bill if it offered any promise of an approach to economic realism in agriculture.

Instead, it is a modest compromise which retains most of the fundamental errors of the old farm program. -kiziciriziririr Seldon Chapin, returning by ship from his post as ambassador to Iran, told reporters in New York there was no probability of unrest spreading to that Country, and stated: The Shah is solidly lined up with the West."

Weaverville is conveniently and comfortably accessible from Redding. Labor Party Backs Away The British Labor Party is confessedly Socialist. When it held power under Clement Attlee it proceeded to nationalize numerous industries. Conservatives denationalized steel, but big segments of British economic life remain publicly owned and operated: railways, electric power grid, coal mines.

Labor, however, shows no yearning for fresh nationalization. Its recent party conclaves have backed away from Socialism. Hugh Gaitskell, party leader, is no Socialist zealot, and Aneu-ran Bevan is unable to whip up enthusiasm for more government ownership, though on Labor's return to, power steel may go back to the government. Labor's latest statement of policy echews Socialism but calls for "state-managed, high Investment capitalism," whatever that is. Private capital still would be employed, but its employment would be pretty much under state control and guidance.

Aware of Britain's lag in production increase Labor is concerned for expansion and would encourage investment The statement is not yet official. It still has to be adopted by the party's conference in October. But this presentation by a working group of the party executive shows the trend of thinking of the leadership. Even the spate of strikes this year hasn't increased the call for more Socialism. it it' 'iz it it it it it Arrival of two fishing boats with five arfd a half tons of albacore tuna aboard has the fishermen at Astoria jubilant over prospects for a good season catching the pften elusive albacore.

Baa rmacssco Irotrast (Continued you should get hold of the Preliminary Report entitled "We Talked to the migrants This is the summary of the facts learned by the staff from tha Bureau of Labor who visited the workers and talked with them. It is published by the Slate Commissioner of Labor, Norman O. Nilsen.

The interviews were with Spanish Americans and Anglo-Americans, both with and without families. For the Spanish-American (with whom may be grouped Mexican the report indicates relatively high earning power because of his long experience in farm labor-. However, he seems to stand always in fear of "Emgracion" though he may be a second generation citizen himself, of contractors, farmers, police, strangers. Interviewers had to work to break down his fears and get him to speak freely. Most of the migrant farm workers coma from Texas 25.2 per cent, with California second, 22.1 per cent.

Oregon supplies 14 per cent of the transients. The Spanish Americans come mostly from Texas, 71.09 per cent, and Mexico, 15.6 per cent, and the Anglos chiefly from California, 28.5 per cent. Mostly, they are birds of passage, going North in summer and South in winter. Winter employment is meagre for most of them, but they are "back home" among people they know: Of the Spanish families 88 per cent had children with them, and S3.3 per cent of the Anglos. (It's the children whose welfare is of-most concern, for their health, education and religious instruction).

In general the migrant said they preferred working in Oregon, either because their earnings were better or they liked the type of crops. Some liked the treatment they received, the Spanish in particular regarding this as better than in California. One thing the inquirers learned was that the word of mouth advertising that a "not such a good guy farmer" receives is "nothing short of fantastic." Housing presents a difficult problem for the migrant. It ranges from neat cabins to shacks and tents and even, in Eastern Oregon to the outdoors. Few have trailers but many are saving for them.

To quote: "Considering the housing of the familieswhich was 64.5 per cent in one-room cabins), the 477 families of approximately 2850 people lived in approximately 650 rooms, an average of 4.7 people per room, in uus one room uie par- room, in uus uue ruuiu ura ents eat, sleep, feed and bed their their friends. children. store their belongings, and breed Hongmgs, ana Dreea rchUdren and bear more children.

The thing she forgot to mention is the impact on the economic side of the entire Salem area of the colosral amount of "picking money" earned and spent in Salem and surrounding towns. Contacting C. M.

Litchfield of the Oregon State Employment Service we collected a few vital statistics on the 1957 crops. (The 1958 crops will be comparable to the 1957.) The acreage of strawberries, cane berries, cherries, beans, blackberries, prunes, filberts and walnuts totalled (there are many lesser crops, and some- not so small, that make a sizeable aggregate For the harvesting of those crops a total of $4,033,300.00 was paid out to the pickers and this money, remember, was in a large part paid to local people of all ages who in turn spent it locally. Migrants are people, too; they also bring the whole family and all who are large enough pick and must work. Where, then, is the line of demarcation between the local youth working and the migrant children? The Salem area is the largest food processing area in the Willamette Valley. To many adults, the "picking money" balances the scale between the strictest economy through the long rainy winter and a feeling of security and enjoyment of small luxuries.

To thousands of youth it means high school, college and many, many other facets of living too numerous to mention. It Is truly a "safety valve" for energy, industry, economic stability and a deterrent toward delinquency. No need to look further for the 'professional touch' or 'specialized worker' when boys and girls and adults, too, pick three to four hundred pounds of beans in one day (and many do more) and are asked at the close of the season if they wish to be on the list for the next year in the vernacular of the present "they have it made."

Noting this statement "we were not obligated to help Lebanon except they were threatened by the Communists," I want to forward to you a couple of articles not copyrighted either or both of which you may use as you see fit.

To this I might add something of John Havasta s. who appeared on a Sunday morning TV program "Zero 1960." In telling of his escape from a Communist prison and of how the Czechs helped him he said in every case, though at first reluctant to take the risk when he said: "If you believe in GcH or if you have ever believed in God, please help us" they would help him. It was his impression that deep in the minds of hearts of these people living under Communism is a desire for freedom and the right to live according to God's laws. If they only knew bow to get that freedom. 1 These words of General Patloa stick in my mind as I think' o( Lebanon: "It's a earns tragic -shame, that's what it is.

In the old days labor contractors and employment offices bad a scaly reputation for exploiting the worker; and apparently some of the breed survive to this day. as the accusations voiced by Mr. Current attest. Contractors are men who agree to furnish a certain number of workers for particular employers for a given period. The reported exploitation of workers seems to be most prevalent in Malheur county where workers are brought in for work in sugar beet fields.

The primary recruitment for this district is in Southwestern Texas, The report is critical of operations this year in which workers were brought in much earlier than needed, and the labor surplus was used to lower wages below the sum set by the Department of Agriculture. The record of two contractors in Marion county was better: They actually function in a paternalistic manner, act in and defend the interests of their work' ers and receive their equitable share for this work directly from the farmer. Some sharp practices were found in Valley counties including percentage cuts on grocery bills, and heavy cuts in pay for labor. The value of all this lies not merely in exposing the wrongdoing of labor contractors but in giving a wider awareness of the problems that attend migratory labor. Official bodies have their responsibilities for policing, for education of children, for health protection.

Community organizations can help meet the welfare needs of the migrants. Farmers themselves must give more attention to migrants as people by treating them fairly and providing decent living accommoda-dations and modern conveniences, running water, showers, decent toilets. The tendency has been to treat farm labor as tap water, to be turned on and off at will; but migrants must live before and after harvest. Apparently the con tractor system still has some place in the labor economy, and the seasonal nature of farm work makes the "guaranteed annual wage" impractical. But all see ments of the rural society must be alerted to the importance of improving the lot of farm work ers, particularly for children, for the social good.

Word Circulated That Adams Will Leave When Time Comes 545 Stair (Satjitfll No practical republican leader supposes that Iraq or anything else will make the Democrats forget about Adams, especially if Adams is still in the White House. Every practical Republican expects a setback this year. (Some are predicting the kind of setback that will, leave the President about as impotent as James Buchanan in his last four White House months.) If there is a setback, and Adams has not departed, Adams will be 'given part of the blame by all and sundry, -t "So how the hell," as one Republican Senator profanely Inquired, "can the little gay talk to any of as after that?" As for the third reason that is pushing Adams out of the White House, it is simply the effect of any other course on the "standards of conduct in the government.

Here the point that cannot be got over is the acceptance of cash presents from Goldfine by two of the most confidentially placed employes in White House the secretaries to Adams and Thomas K. Stephens. These imprudent ladies could rot be fired, so long as Adams was not fired. But, if their conduct is established as proper, it will 'then be proper for any secretary in any part of the government in the AEC, for instance to accept Christmas checks from businessmen, or politicians, or newspapermen for that matter.

At the crucial moment, the catastrophe in Iraq forcibly switched the spotlight, from Bernard Goldfine to the more major problems of the United States.

The impression had been therefore growing that the White House might regard, this rather costly dim-out of Goldfine as an excuse for retaining Gov. Adams in his present post The impression was strengthened by the recent praise of Adams by members of the Cabinet; but this is now seen as preparation for Adams' departure with honor.

Hence the Presideat has had to leave the- decisloa to Adams. Certainly there are only. too many practical reasons for believing that the word-passers really must be right about Adams's prospective departure.

For one thing, the case was really remarkably badly handled, no doubt because the unfortunate Adams has always lived in such chilly isolation. Even the President's statement about it was a misfortune. And its three terrible words, "I need him." were apparently inserted by Adams's private advisers over the protests of Press Secretary Hagerty.
