They face imprison­ ment. for as long as 125 years. If Representative Alvin Bentley of Michi­ gan, most seriously wounded of the five members, should die, first-de­ gree murder Indictments will be brought. o o o Senator Alton A, Lennon of North Carolina, one of the five mem­ bers absent from the Senate ten days ago when the Bricker Resolution failed by one vote of receiving the necessary two-thirds majority for adoption, late last week filed a motion to reconsider that vote. This keeps the Brlckcr proposal alive for later consideration, However, It Is expected It will be a week or two before the Lennon motion to re­ consider is called up for action in the Senate. o o o The House Ways and Means Committee last week favorably re­ ported a bill by Its chairman. Representative Dan Reed of New York, which would reduce all excise tax rates—other than those on liquors, tobacco products, automobiles and accessories—to a flat 10 per cent. The Reed Bill, which Is expected to be called up for u vote In the House next week, would also continue Korean War Emergency excise taxes at the 10 per cent rate. While the Treasury and the Elsenhower administration oppose the measure, there Is every Indication It will pass the House by a large vote and will not meet great opposition in the Senate. * o o o Many complaints arc being received on Capitol Hill from agri­ cultural districts that young farmers and farm workers, previously de. terred from the draft because of essentiality o f their employment, are being reclassified and inducted Into military service. White fanners are not exempt Horn the draft as a class, the Selective Service Act (toes aullioriie' tJie deferment o f otherwise eligible registrants from military service when the local draft board finds them to be engaged in an occupation essential to the national welfare—which, of course, includes work In agriculture ns well as in industry. IndlviduJa members or Congress have no authority or jurisdiction over actual operation of the selective Service system, but can only furnish Information os to whnt the law provides, or request the National Selective Service Head­ quarters to investigate complaints. National Selective Service Head­ quarters advises It has issued no order or directive to "tighten up" on deferment of registrants engaged in essentia) agricultural work, o o o The Senate has passed and sent to the House a bill to increase the borrowing authority of the Commddlty Credit Corporation from Ur, present $6,7 billion to >8.5 billion, in line with the President's re­ quest, The measure Is expected to become law quickly, Funds involved arc used to meet the cost of the farm price support program. o o o Recent heavy dust storms In the southwest and far middle west have become a cause of grave concern to government weather and agricultural experts, It (s their fear another dust bowl like that •/ the "30's may be in the making, o o o It Is becoming more and more evident the Democrats in the Senate control the actions of that body whenever they desire to do so, Be­ cause of Hie Illness of two members, Republican control in the House has actually been whittled down to a single vote.

Farm Bureau Protests Cut In TB Control Fund Elimination of funds for TB erad­ ication in livestock from the budget of the United Slates Department of Agriculture has been condemned by the Ohio Farm Bureau, The sum of $040,000 requested for brucellosis and TB control has been removed from the present USDA budget. This comes on top of a $500,000 cut in 1953 for this control program. Rex Long, Loudon vllle, chairman of the dairy committee o f the Ohio Farm Bureau, said today, "Ohio has received from $25,000 to $30,000 In the past from the Federal funds which have been matched by a $30,- 900 Ohio appropriation. Tills money has been used to Indemnify farmers for livestock which had to be de­ stroyed became of TB infection. This sum has been from $00 for a „<rndc cow to $120 for a purebred. Surely consumers of milk want TB In livestock to be eliminated and this program has been moving in that direction, * To cripple tills work now by lack of funds is un­ thinkable, it is nn inter-state prob­ lem and must be met by the Fed­ eral Government and States work­ ing together. Long was supported in his pro­ tests by the entire Ohio Farm Bureau board which passed a strong resolution calling for Im­ mediate restoration of the cuts in TB control, 1954 Com Acreage Allotments In Soon A report made by R; Roy Stone- burner, Chairman of .the Greene County Agricultural Stablixatlon and Conservation Committee, shows that Greene County corn Growers will soon receive their Cora Acreage Allotments for the 1954 Corn Year. The 1954 c om acreage Allotment for Greene County Is 54,159 Acres as determined by the Ohio A.S.C, Committee. Data obtained by the County A.8.C. committee from Com Growers on nearly two thousand com farms in the County show tliat the average Acreage of Corn for the year 1951, 1952, and 1953, has been 60,593 Acres of Com, This re­ presents a requested reduction hr Corn Acreage for the County of 12,434 Acres. The determination made from these Corn Acreages figures show that Die reduction in Com Acreage requested by the Secretary of Agriculture will be 19J per cent on the average three year Com History for Cora Farms in the County. Com Growers, who plant within their 1954 Com Acreage Allotments, will be eligible for Price Support at 90% of the Parity Price on Octo­ ber 1,1954 or near the present Loan Rate of $1.64 per Bushel. An Increase of 277 Million Bush­ els of Com in the carry over of Corn on October 1, 1953 with 126 Million Bushels expected to be add- [ ed to the carry over on October 1, 1954 coupled with a loss of 25 Million j Bushel Loss in exports of Corn [ make it mandatory under the pres- j ent Law to set up Com Acreage Al- i lotments for 1954 before Price Sup­ port Loans at 90% o f Parity can be offered to Corn Growers. a*mr i f k P I , //,/,.
