Though he was favored to win (TIME, April 28), Moderate Mo Udall found himself in trouble on election night when the returns gave Yuma County to Arch-conservative Matheson. Only by scoring heavily in Tucson's Pima County did Mo Udall go on to win by the squeaky margin of 51,318 to 49,263, which was close enough to encourage Republicans for the future. At his victory press conference, Udall made no secret of his belief that his brother had hurt him: "I had counted on winning Yuma County. I lost it." In defeat, Mac Matheson...

Even after paying an 18½? penalty a pound for growing cotton without an allotment (which amounted...
...another year (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), many Congressmen did so reluctantly. Last week Arizona's Democratic Congressman Stewart L. Udall turned up a case that went a long way toward explaining their reluctance. 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...
...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 is." He also saw a chance to turn a huge profit...
