Miss Elsie Mumma, who tam:

and pioneered by her ancestors )i;24, threatened personal violence

n government representa- rive; who tried to enter her land to measure the number at acres Named to wheat. They suspected she had over-planted.

The case. HOW hem” "'9 c""”s' involves the U.S. wheat quota sys- tem which the splnster-farmer called "ungodly" but which "W united States Supreme Court sev- oral times has ruled to he Hllld and within the c0mPet9"("” "I "'9 administration.

MUST OBSERVE LIMIT

Under the law. acrease allot- ments are rettuifed I07 six P35” mpg wheat. cotton. corn, krnbzicco, peanuts and rice-except

in times of emei'S9l1CY- Such 35

war, when the secretary of agricul-

mre may proclaim them null and void.

To obtain government price sup- ports, a farmer must stay within his acreage allotment. If he ex- ceeds it all he loses is price sup- port. Ths means he must sell his -.-.,p on the openhunsupported market for whatever it will bring.

But, in times of really big sur- pliiscs. force its acreage allotments as

matter of law by imposing market-

ing quntak These have real teeth. Willi heavy penalties, and are the basic point at issue in the Mumma F359.

When the total supply of one of is

five basic commodities-corn exempted-reaches a point 35 per cent above "normal" supply. the secretary of agriculture is required by law to proclaim marketing quot.-is. This is what Secretary I-Izra Benson did last spring. when he determined that the July carryover of wheat would be in

Qexcess of l.000.000.000 bushels-

i more than the US. consumption. plus foreseeable ex- ports. for two full years.

ASSURED HIGHER MINIMUM

To go into effect, these quotas must be approved by two-thirds of all eligible wheat growers in 3!; states listed as iilicat areas." The quotas. provid-

lllil for only 55.000.000 acres of whnai this year against 78,000,000

in 1954, were approved in a ref- erendum in .lune.

By accepting the quotas, far- mcrs obtained the government's

guarantee that they would receive

at least Sl.8l a bushel for their ulicat. Had they rejected quotas,

irice supports would have drop-

crl to 31.19 a bushel. The marketing quotas. based on an average yield of 20 bushels to

rial states. uants them. when acreage allot- ments alone are in effect, the only pcnaliy for over-planting is loss of price sllilpnrl. When quotas are in citcct. the offending farmer also is siibjcct to a penalty of 90V: cents a liusliel.

government moves to collect the penalty Just as it does to collect back taxes.

MUST HIIOW CARD

Until an over-planted tamer pays his penalty, he cannot sell his, wheat to anyone. This is enforced through a 'marketing card" issued only to those who have complied with regulations. A wheat buyer always demands to see a seller's card. If he buys from a farmer without a card, the buyer becomes liable for the farmer's penalty.

The government holds that far- mers like Miss Mumma, who don't like price supports and who over-plant, can break the wheat market and wreck the co-operative effort of hundreds of thousands of farmers who support the govern- ment program.

Miss Mumma had an answer for the government mcn who tried to estimate her production. "If they set foot on my land again." she declared. tllll shoot them, so help me

Adenauer Under Strong Pressure To Modify West Germany Pact With West

BONN. (AP)-Chancellor Kon- rad tdena is coming under strong homelront pressure to modify West Germany's alliance with the Western powers In a move to get Russia to agree to German unification.

The leader of his own coalition ally, -the strong Free Demo- cratic Party, has just joined .the growing chorus of criticism dir- ected at the Paris rearmament treaties.

FDP chairman Thomas Dehier jolted Adenauer and his. support- ers this week with a declaration that ”reunification on the basis of the Paris treaties is impos- sible."

Dehier said these treaties "must not bind Germany in- definitely so that the question will be shelved for a long time to come." He urged direct negotiations between Moscou and Bonn to end the division of fier-

as a clerk-typist.

The Clerical Procedures andiT,vp- ing course is unusual in that the women may he graduated when they have attained the proficiency necessary for assignment. They are not required to attend the maxim-

um liniit of the course to graduate if they do not need the training.

many.

Dehler's declaration created a political sensation in Bonn and touched off r 'ation of an open break in Adenauer'a coalit- ion on foreign policy issues.

It came only three days afte Adenauer had solemnly ,' ” ” before Parliament that his gov- ernment "will not admit the slightest doubt as to our loyalty to the treaties." He said they ”oIier theprospect of peace for the world and national unity in free- dom to Germany."

Dehier thua assailed the core of 1 Adenauer's foreign policy and placed himself close to the pos- itlon of the opposition Socialists, who bitterly oppose West Ger- man rearmamcnt under the Paris i Pacts.

This mounting agitation against the treaties that took West Ger- many into the North Atlantic: Treaty Organization and the Western European Union only last spring reflect the conviction of many German political lead-I i-rs that Moscow never will agree in Ccriiian unification on Western lcrnis g

They are therefore searching rnr some formula to induce the Russians to loosen their hold on East Germany's 18,000,000 peo- plv
