An issue of Mr Green's American Federatlonist,
forged and fashioned at the AFL building in Wash
ington, D. C., Is enlightening. Union big shots, singly
«nd in groups, strut aefoss its pages in portrait jand
reading matter. --J—
Maybe as a sort of fa<;e-*av- .
Ing gesture the picture of a
grizzled old patriot who un- ‘
mislnkably is an honest-to-good
1 fu?ss man of latx>r, is given a
spot by himself removed from
the groups of tailored and
groomed bosses of the big AFL.
It also re veils the existence
of a setup called political ®du
1 cation, which means anoltief
dollar is to be extracted from
each union memt>er to defeat
the memlers of congress who supported the Taft
Hartley measure.
When it comes to voting, it has been demon
strated that union losses can’t tell any intelligent
• American how to vote.
The lilacs are in Woom. Tulips have unfolded
their stately color. White and pink have been spray
ed on plum anr^ cherry and peach tree in gorgeous
profusion. Iris Inids have formed and a riot of color
in flower beds puts on airs amid the gold of the
lowly dandelion spotting green lawns. The haughty
peony and blushing rose will join the apple blossoms
in display of color and their offering of distilled
incense at corn planting time. A warm rain beats
against my window and back in the garden row
upon row of radishes, lettuce, onions, peas and other
growing things hold the promise of reducing the
daily grocery needs.

They keep coming in droves. Now it’s to be the
Metropolitan opera and they want a fortune. Lincoln
citizens are duly appreciative of the attention paid
them by the country's artists and spellbinders, but
just the same we like our evenings at home.
* * *
Those whose private affairs have found them
selves involved in dealings with bureaus, commis
sions, supervisors or other supernumeraries have
made the discovery that what is needed in the fed
eral agencies is efficiency, something of the snap
and promptness that contributes to the survival of
private enterprise, and less of the legal, often sense
less, verbage. Gov. Peterson has injected into the
service at the state house elements of efficiency in
which some of the federal agencies are sorely
lacking.
A girl and two men pacing the sidewalk at the
east front, the girl wearing a great lettered mess
age yoked about her neck; two men covering the
beat t«*-the south, one bearing a yoke about his
neck fthm which glared black letters — a forlorn
group jacketing a strike — bound Lincoln business
place on South Tenth.
Maybe Joe Martin's minor vote roll in the
recent primary was because Nebraskans are not
favoring a bachelor in the White House.

A mid-April blizzard in 1873 is recalled by state
historians. It was a rare visitation, but hardy folks
that had come to prairieland were not to give up
because of a Spring snow storm. And such storms
have struck later than mid-April. In 1914 I was
identified with the free if not easy life of a rancher
out on the grass lands. On May 1 of that year we
had a blizzard. The A-T people, a few miles below
my holdings, lost a sizable bunch of beeves in that
storm, but we smaller fry escaped without loss.
The A-T controlled a 3-mile stretch of country with
large herds and the May day blizzard didn't break
* • •
Officials of the government labor department
announced a shortage in the labor market. The
same day it was announced from a central state
town that 1,800 men were being laid off.
• • •
What do the haughty voters want in a presi
dent — a six foot political rain-maker who promises
all a private El Dorado; will eliminate taxes and
drought, fill your bams and basements, satisfy the
AFI, and CIO boys, build school houses and roads,
pay the public debt and balance the budget, bring
order out of world chaos and usher in millenium?
Whatever family is to grace the White House the
next four years, they will not come from west of
the Mississippi. And the “head of the house” will
make no promises nor hold out an alluring pro
gram. Who is big enough for the hard job?
• * *
Admitting he was once opposed to votes for
women, a Nebraska editor now says: “They are
more qualified than men, better politicians, more
inclined to be practical in their voting as they are
more experienced, not moved by trivial matters
and better able to judge qualifications." Nice way
to hand a compliment to the ladies, while the men
enjoy the emoluments of office.
* • *
I wonder if that staggering sum of which the
experts tell us was the 1947 farm income of Ne
braska clodhoppers is still in pocket, or have the
experts figured out something that exists principally
as pencil and paper picture.
Editorial
Duty, Obligation, Destiny
Now, once again, as in generations past, the
nation's school graduating classes will perform their
traditional roles, from the grades to the great uni
versities.
The Valedictorians will say their eager, nervous
words. The guest speakers will offer their counsel.
Pomp and Circumstance will surround the cere
monies.
The young people will walk off into a world they
did not make, but which, perhaps, they can help
remake in a brighter image. It is a world of intense
•competition, profound danger, and vast opportunity.
This is true of the arts, the sciences, the social
services, all the civilizing elements of which we now
have some knowledge. But then, poised against this,
are powers of darkness and destruction deeper and
more subtle than the world has ever known before?
May this year's graduates of the schools and
colleges, wherever in the world they may be, go
hence with a sense of duty, obligation, and destiny.
ST. JOHNS, ARIZ., INDEPENDENT-NEWS:
“We helped Ceylon after it gained its independence,
and for that they nationalized the oil industry, large
ly American owned. They, according to a treaty
made a few years ago, were to pay for industries
so nationalized. Now they refuse to do so. ‘We won’t
be dictated to,’ they tell us.”
WYNNE, ARK., PROGRESS: "The people who
still believe American taxpayers' billions can buy
us friends would do well to consider the example of
God — He gives us everything, even life itself, but
even He is not universally loved and respected.”

Last week, w* considered on
the Floor <4 the Hou*e * am
Fe«< Grain Program tor .1964
You will recall that tbs Feed
Grain , Program adopted by the
Congress last: year wag supposed
to be permanent legislation and
outlined programs for 1964 and
1965 tfnder the terms of the
1963 Feed Grain Program, sup
port prices oouki be aet from
50% to 90% of parity, with 1959
and 1960 as the base acreage. If
a farmer cuts his feed grain
acreage by at least 20%, he la
entitled to a cash loan of $1 03 a
bushel for corn, plus an 18c pay
ment in kind, on the idle acres
He is entitled to a payment up to
50% of the average production
on that land, if he follows the
conservation practices as set
forth by the Secretary of Agricul
ture.
Under the present Act, all feed
grains would have dropped to
50% of parity with a floor of 84c
a bushel for corn. The feed
grain program was tied in with
the Wheat Program which adojit
ed for the first time a two-price
system of supports. Approximate
ly 80% of wheat production in
1964 will be supported at $2 00 a
bushel. This is the wheat which
will be used for food and export
The other 20% of wheat produc
tion may be used for feed only
and a separate certificate will be
issued to the wheat producer. The
price of this wheat will be in re
lation to that of feed grams and
could be as low as 92c a bushel.
The feed grain proposal which
we considered last week was for
1964 and would change the sup
port from 65% to 90% of parity
with a base acreage being com
puted on the years of 1959-60-61
and 62. The farmer again must
cut at least 20% from the base
acreage in order to be eligible
for support prices and, again,
conservation practices must be
followed on the idle acres. The
Secretary has the option, how
ever, to pay from 0% to 50% of
the average production on the
