Israeli agronomist
talks on Mideast
Peterson:
Back to the farm . .
United States farm policy must be
committed to the preservation of the
family farm as the basic agricultural
production unit, according to Wallace
C. Peterson, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for U.S.
Senate.
The Nixon Administration farm bill
now in the House Agriculture Committee
"will worsen present unhealthy trends
in the farm program," Peterson said.
It will "eliminate more small farmers
and begin the phasing out of all price
supports for farm commodities."
Peterson explained the existance of
the alleged inequities in the Nixon pro
gram saying, "Apparently, the Nixon
administration, which Senator Hruska
blindly supports, takes the votes of rural
people for granted. Or perhaps this Ad
ministration regards their needs as
unimportant."
Peterson's solution to the farm pro
blem rests on the belief that, "No useful
social purpose is served by a continued
economic squeeze which forces more
small farmers off the land, especially
in view of the fact that the Administra
tion has no viable program to provide
jobs for displaced farmers."
The Coalition Bill as offered by over
30 farm organizations, Peterson said,
is "the best proposal now being discuss
ed as a replacement for the Food and
Agriculture Act of 1965, which expires
with the 1970 crops."
To further secure the family farm
unit, Peterson proposes innovations in
providing capital for the farmer, in
cluding "extremely long-term credit."
Better access to credit for young
farmers, and the development of new
institutions to help family farms keep
abreast of technical innovations are
necessary parts of any program that
will "give rural Nebraskans a fair share
of the country's wealth while protecting

the family farm," Peterson says.
To gain support for legislation such
as the Coalition Bill, Peterson said that
he would accept a $20,000 limit on
government price-support payments to
any one farmer.

The war in the Middle East is
now based on hatred and emo
tion, rather than on political or
tactical considerations, ac
cording to a visiting professor
of agronomy who came to the
University from Israel earlier
this year.
"I just don't know how to
combat an enemy that is
fighting because of hate and
emotion," said Abraham Blum.
"And I'm convinced this hatred
exists on only one side the
Arab side," Blum continued.
"No one in Israel likes the

that the Cather-Pound measure
provided "modest experience"
especially since the student of
ficers would be backed up by
hall staff.
Meyerson said President
Joseph Soshnik is against the
proposal specifically because it
includes student sponsorship.
He said Soshnik questions the
method of electing dorm of
ficers as well as the level of
maturity of student leaders.
Soshnik has "fewer reserva
tions about student assistants,"
Meyerson added.
The housing director said
that he and others who support
the proposal feel that student
leaders and SA's demonstrate
more responsibility in their
daily activities than would be
required to sponsor open
houses or IDA hours.
Marker said one reason for
proposing student sponsorship
Is the difficulty of finding
faculty and parents to sponsor
each floor.
Proponents of the move to
strike student sponsorship were
concerned about getting the
proposal through the Regents.
"Is it to get something past
the Regents or are we trying to
do something?" asked Vern
Slaughter.
Further argument erupted
when Ed Icenogle tried to kill a
provision from the proposal
that called for residents' doors
to remain o(en during open
houses and IDA hours.
Marker said he disagrees
with the provision too but says
it's necessary to get Regent
consideration. Student
sponsorship is the big issue this
tune, he emphasized.
CSL unanimously passed the
students' right to privacy
statement that says University
officials can't search a
student's room unless he is
present and gives his consent.
war."
Blum said that, in his opi
nion, the war will continue until
the Arab forces see the ad
vantages of peace.
"People say Israel should
stop bombing and stop straf
ing," Blum said. "But if the
Arabs ever thought we were
weak, they would attack in
force and another full scale
war would develop. We must
continue to strike out at them
or they will think we have
weakened."
As-long as the Arab leaders
don't accept Israel's existence,
Blum said, there will be war.
Blum came to the NU
Agriculture College to study
sorghum breeding. He is the
only sorghum breeder in Israel,
and is trying to develop a
strain of the plant that will
grow in the arid parts of south
Israel. He expects to spend the
rest of 1970 studying and at
tending classes here.
The main issue of the Middle
East conflict is simple, he said.
The Arabs don't want the Jews
to remain in Israel.
