By JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer GRAND PRAIRIE, Alta. (GP)

Mes of disaster that began echoing last fall across farm- lands and ' communities of the Peace River block in northwest em Alberta have ebbed with the coming of spring.

As farmers worked this year, taking off some of last fall’s snow-damaged crop and planting new ones, hope for success took prominence over talk of last year’s hardships.

It was obvious some individual cases of extreme difficulty were experienced and generally farm spending was cut, but few signs could be found of an unhealthy general economy.

HOPE FOR GOOD CROP

A broad range of interviews among farm and business people revealed a widely - held opinion that with a good crop season this year. most soon will forget 1957.

“There's no doubt the farmers of the Peace had it tough last fall,” said a Grand Prairie bank manager. “But if they have, a good crop this year, they’ll forget all about last year.”

Four feet of snow fell early last

. October and buried nearly half . the crops in the field. Heavy rain

had prevented harvesting ma- chines from getting at the grain

earlier in many cases and it stood

in stocks or swath through the winter. ' "

Farm organizations, politicians, boards of trade and chambers of commerce sought a disasterarea declaration for relief purposes. This never came about, but fed- eral ai‘d under the Prairie Farm Assistance Act totalled more than $2,000,000 and provincial and mu- nicipal seed relief in the form of loans, reached $225,000.

Need for assistance was more apparent .in some areas than in others. Across the Peace River area where more than 9,500 farms

r occupy 4,000,000 acres of land and V form the backbone of an economy

supporting 70,000 persons, condi- tions varied widely. DAMAGED BY MICE

‘Broclclw-uy Press Agents Dream Of Free Space

7 By SAUL PETT

NEW YORK (AP)—Among the fascinations of New York the tourist never sees, ranking some- where between secret sessions in the United Nations and floating crap games in Brooklyn, is an esoteric, ' , hydra- headed sect of mad euangelists known as Broadway press agents. _

There are many kinds of Broadway press agents —— those with brilliant brains, those with creatiVe brains, with witty brains, with fiendish brains,, with no brains. But the lone syndrome that united them is m'restless phobia about space. ~ Press agents have a horror of space being wasted, in print or on the air, on trivia like the Habomb or inflation or Khruschev when, aseveryone knows the world is crying for new about a new snake charmer, play, movie, talking squirrel, hypno- tist. hair restorer, night club or the 10 bestdressed pickled her- rings of the month.

, Thus, from Broadway’s crowded cowpath of culture and corn, the press agents arise to attack'the mansions of news in many wayHMoug‘h the front door, through the back door, through a window with a rusty lock, up from the basement or through a hairline crack in the wall. :FACT 0R INVENTION Dreaming of the front page but

'willing to settle for the back,

they send out~ carloads of re- leases, invent stunts, make an- nouncements, give awards, and search the stage doors, the night clubs and-or their brains for news and gags for the columnists. It Is not an easy life.

For example, there is one type of press agent, usually dour- hoeg§ who all)! chained in a

there are more than 3,000 farms, saw nearly 70 per cent of the crop harvested last fall. Half of that left in the fields was taken ‘off this spring, although some was heavily damaged by mice and most was classed as feed.

“We found'as many as 15 or 20 mice under a stock,” said far- mer G. Schubert, whowviorks a half section six miles west of Grande Prairie. W“e had to feed the grain to our livestock, we couldn’t sell it."

In the area across the central Peace, stretching from the French-Canadian region of Fahler more than 100 miles to the Brit- ish lColumbia boundary, about 30 per cent of the crop was har- vested in the fall.

The ground was so thoroughly soaked by rains and winter snow that harvesting machines could not get on the fields until late this spring despite ,weeks of hot weather. Many burned the re- mains of last year’s crop in order to start seeding early enough to beat fall fro ts.

He was attempting to combine wheat May 22, but said he would burn it if it graded feed because

prices for low-grade feed would not justify his harvesting costs.

He has no livestock and planned to seed only 60 acres this year, Working elsewhere during the summer to get some cash on hand.

For Alberta farmers north of the Peace River conditions were a little better.

The small operator who farmed strictly in grains suff red most. Soggy bushland slo lumber and oil exploration activity dur- ing the winter‘nnd many who had found employment off the farm previously were unable to do so this time.

The mixed farmer was able to obtain good prices for livestock and to use unharvested grain for feed.

closet all day dreaming up gags to flow from the mouth of his client into the Broadway col- umns. Thus Arthur Murray, the Mr. Chips of the dance studios began to enjoy a reputation as a wit. ‘ .

But suddenly a famine set For three weeks none of the col- umns reported any of Murray’s epigrams. Finally, he stormed into the office of his press agent, demanding: - ,

“What happened to my sense of humor?” .r -

There are big press agents and little press agents, men who work out of plush offices and moles who work out of phone booths, men whose fee runs into the thousands and men whose fee is a bartered hotel room, men who handle only the biggest names and men who handle names known only to the missing per- sons bureau. ‘

There .is big, bearded Jim Moran, probably the most fiend- ish mind in the business,

Jim is the man who sold a refrigerator to the Eskimos, sat on and hatched an ostrich egg

into a Fifth Avenue china shop and started Park Avenm with a strange_ ouslne.

The steering wheel, gearshift, clutch and brakes of the car had been moved into the back see]. where hidden from view, Moran did the actual driving. All; a dummy steering wheel in front and apparently driving was an ape: The car was plastered with signs for the play The Match- maker.

Moran’s big coup this year—so far—«was a “spontaneous” dem- onstration of anger at the play, Look Back in Anger. Early in the third act one night a woman jumped up from the audience, mounted the stage and slapped an actor playing a woman-hat- ing character. The audience gasped, the management offered to refund their money, the show went on bravely and the stunt made all the uppers the next

days!

Khrushchev In

BERLIN (Reuters) — Nikita Khrushchev expressed confidence Friday that President Tito of Yugoslavia would fail to convert any member of the Soviet bloc to his separate - roads - to - social- ism bra-nd of communism.

In a‘ belligerent two — hour address before the East German

, Communist congress, he charged

that the Western'uproar over the execution of Hungarian freedom leaders was a cover-up for a plot to intervene in Lebanon.

Khrushchev said the Western powers’ insistence on including reunification as a topic for a sum- mit meeting would “torpedo the calling of such a conference.”

Later he flew back to Moscow, leaving a delegation to attend the remaining sessions of the con- gress, due to end Wednesday. N0 BLOCKADE

Khrushchev said Russia has no

hitention of imposing an econ- omic or political blockade on Yugoslavia. '. The Soviet Communist party would continue the fight gainst revisions in the Marxist-aLeninist line by, means of “persuasion” only. it would not intervene in the business of other Communist par- ties “and still less by interven- tion in the affairs of other gav- ernments."

Khrushchev said Yugoslav re- visionism was "not an earthquake which could shake the socialist camp.” In fact, it would be good to keep alive “a spark of hope” about relations with Yugoslavia.

The Soviet party chief was re- strained in his views on Yugo- slavia compared with his series of blasts at the United States.

or possible American aid to Yugoslavia, he said: “The Amer- icans do nothing without return payment—or if they do, they take the soul of the people."

He said that, Indians, when they left the reserves, Were not freely and easily accepted into the community. 0 “Of course, the church tries to integrate them," the primate said. “Nonetheless, it is one of our big problems."

Address TO E. German Recls

trial production in the first quar- ter of this year rose 11 per cent compared with the same period last year, while the American fig- ure for the corresponding period was an llaper-cent drop.

“Our successses in the competi- tion with capitalism are beyond doubt—hut that must not lead us to complacency.” ‘

The Soviet Union had ad- vanced economically to the point where a basic improvement could be made in living standards. WAIVE TROOP COSTS

To help East Germany’s econ- omy, Khrushchev announced that from next Jan. 1, the country no longer would have to pay support costs for Soviet troops on its soil.

The Western governments are trying to hamstring efforts for a top-level meeting by proposing questions for discussion that could not, be solved there, such as Ger- man reunification. There were other major problems that could be. solved if the West was . ady to talk in good faith about them.

Khrushchev said the strongest

tensions at present are in the Middle East. . “The leading imperialist pow- ‘ers are preparing intervention in Lebanon", whose people are fight- ing for their independence against the notorious Dulles - Eisenhower doctrine.”

He called upon America’s allies to resist “the temptations from the devil overseas” and renounce atomic armament. He told West Germany that short - range mis- siles would suffice to knock out any rocket bases in the Bonn re- public. *

Exports TO Europe Up During May

OTTAWA (CP) — Canada’s ex- ports to continental European countries more‘t‘han doubled dur- ing May, the bureau of statistics reported Friday.

Along with lesser increases tt the United Kingdom and other commonWealth countries, t h e s e outweighed decreased 'shipments to the United States, Latin Amer- ica and other foreign countries to bring the May total for all ex- ports up to $476,800,000. Exports in May of la st year were $437,300,000.

For the first five months of the year, exports amounted to $318,300,000 c o m p a r e d with $1,900,100,000 for the 'similar pe- riod last year. ’ In May, exports to Europe l'e a p e d to $91,037,000: fr 0 m $44,484,000 a year earlier. This was due chiefly to larger sales to Belgium, Iluxembourg, West Ger-

Belglnm and Germany. heavy de- liveries of aircraft boosted the total.

Howe’s Papers Go To Archives

OTTAWA (CP) — Former Lib- eral Trade Minister C. D.‘ Howe has turned ovlermost of his of- ficial papers and records to the public archives. ‘ _

The documents, coverIng 22 years of Mr: Howie’s public ca- reer, are being held in trust by the archives and are not lavaib able at present for public exam~ ination. They may be made public in later years.

The documents fill eight four- drawer filing cabinets and two large wooden boxes. They cover a period in which Canada ex- perienced spectacular expansion and fought a world war.

During the period Mr. Howe served as minister of seven dif- ferent federal departments under the late prime minister W. L. Mackenzie King and former prime minister Louis St Laurent.
