...last week's convention the bureau showed how deeply it feels its responsibility for a sane farm policy. Although it is solidly behind Benson, it scolded him in a resolution for removing "cross-compliance" regulations, which prohibit farmers who accept high support prices and quotas on one money crop from diverting acres made idle by their quotas to other surplus crops. The provision has been unpopular with some farmers and Farm Bloc Congressmen, but the Farm Bureau feared its loss would swell surpluses.

McCarthy is deranged-the end of the trail for a mind that could once have been considered shrewd and alert.

In 1950 he threw all his sane, straight self into a sane, straight part, was one of the, big things that made Black Hand one of the best "little pictures" of the year. In Crest of the Wave he has done it again...
