...vote he was denied the chair. It was taken by Bulganin. Then the opposition launched an attack on Khrushchev's policies, charging him with Trotskyist and rightist peasant deviations. Translated out of Communist jargon, this meant that Khrushchev's foreign policy was too adventuresome, and his opportunistic farm policy would breed a new crop of rich kulaks.* Some Communist sources say that Khrushchev was at one point voted out of his party secretaryship by a combination of Malenkov, Molotov, Kaganovich, Bulganin and Voroshilov. Other sources say that he stalled any formal vote and insisted that he could legally...
...Area which did not include agricultural products was unacceptable to France. The Danes and the Dutch felt the same way. In a less noble tone some continental economists insisted that Britain need not fear the Common Market plan so much since all signatories were equally sensitive to their own farm lobbies and had already built all sorts of agricultural protectionism into the machinery. Nonetheless the British hesitated. "If there should at any time be a conflict between the calls made upon Britain," Macmillan told a television audience, "the Commonwealth comes first in our hearts and minds." He felt better when...
...Jones has lately found the proper groove (his season record: 7-3), and Larry Jackson has a nifty 2.83 earned-run average and a 10-4 record. And, best of all, the Cardinals are getting a buoyant boost from their pair of bonus babies plucked off an Oklahoma cotton farm: Von and Lindy McDaniel. Von, only 18, has won four, lost one, has a 2.741 ERA; Lindy, 21, has won eight while losing five.

The case: Arizona Cotton Farmer Jack A. Harris, who put his entire 1,600-acre Pima County cotton farm in the soil bank in return for a $209,701 Government payment, then turned around and plowed up a new farm to grow three times as much cotton. Cried Congressman Udall: "Here is boondoggling on a grand scale. Indeed, the word boondoggling is utterly inadequate to describe this program. We should...
...Silly. In singling out Harris, Udall picked on a farmer-businessman who is actually on his side. Last year Harris was credited with being a force behind an Arizona Cotton Growers Association resolution calling for an end to the soil bank and to Government farm price supports and controls. This spring Harris watched in strong disapproval as county soil bank authorities offered farmers $145 an acre not to plant cotton. Then, Harris put his whole Pima County farm in the bank. Explaining his apparent flipflop, Farmer Harris says: "I wanted to show how silly, and how unnecessary, this whole thing...
