Show Aug. 1972 r--1 as this new weapons system is built, next year theyll be working on a better one. They Looking have built a bigger and better missile every year for the last 15 years; they build a swifter, more deadly fighter plane is every year (their MIG-2- 1 the best fighter in the world today; although we know now thev already are test flying the MIG-2- 3 and this plane will be still better). fla Ahead Dr. George S. Benson NATIONAL EDUCATION I PROGRAM Searcy, Arkansas - , The Radiation Q. Why should we build more nuclear weapons in view of the argument that any considerable nuclear firings would wipe out, with radiation, the total population? A. The argument is false. Q. Are some of the Soviet nuclear weapons mobile, capable of moving around on land? A. Most of them are mobile; and the U. S. does not have mobile land missiles in the medium or long range class. OUR DEFENSE WEAKNESS Colonel Raymond S. Sleeper (USAF, Ret.) was one of the feature speakers on our 35th Freedom Forum which examined the strengths and weaknesses of Americas national defense. He spoke with authority and presented documented photographs and statistics on the subject. One of his last assignments as Commander of the Foreign Technology Division of the Air Force jn the Pentagon was the briefing of the Secretary of Defense and other top officials on the comparative strength of U. S. and Russian forces. Here are some questions and answers from the open forum following the Soviets have the capability of destroying all of our missile warning systems? A. They have a capability of knocking spy satellites out of the air. We know they have launched a new satellite interceptor and a satellite and that the interceptor has engaged and destroyed the satellite. Some of our satellites are used for warning of missile launchings from Russia. If they can destroy them, what can we do? That is the question. Were in a very bad way. The only suggestion I have is that we build a similar capability ourselves. They also have orbital bombers. If the Soviets fly over the U. S. with orbital bombs in a crucial situation; for instance, they tell us that unless we stop bombing North Vietnam theyll release their nuclear bombs upon us, what are we going to do? The only response, and we are not capable of making it now, would be to say to the Soviets: If you carry out your threat, we will retaliate with our orbital bombs that we have over Russia. We cant say this today, because we havent the orbital bombs. We will not be secure until we have sufficient capability to respond to these and all future Soviet threats. Colonel Sleepers closing remarks: The first duty of a government is to protect its people. The No. 1 priority in our system in the United States if we intend to remain free, must be security. And we should keep reminded of this. And finally the caption from the Presidents Defense Panel: History shows us again and Q. Do Russias Technological Lead Q. What do we know about new missiles that Russia is planning to use? A. When we look at Soviet building of new weapons systems there are two or three things we ought to remember. We were building the which was to be a terrific bomber. Secretary McNamara decided against the And the whole technological team was disbanded. Then we were building a space bomber. We had models of it Mr. McNamara cancelled out the space bomber. The technology team was dispersed. We were subsequently building the SS-- T (which had military as well as transport significance), but some people in Congress defeated the SS-Its team was disbanded. The Russians do not do this. They continue to keep and build upon their teams. That is why today they hold a superiority over the United States in the latest types of military technology. The Russians are No. 1. Nobody knows just what the Russians are building to go missile in the bigger-than-evour which launching silos dissatellite intelligence has covered. But it will be a bigger capability it will probably be a space-launc- h capability. It will probably be a space transport, a space bomber. This is my guess. But this B-7- 0, 0.

Most County Farm Bureaus hold their talent contest during the month of August or early September. The state contest, at which all county winners compete, will be held in connection with the Utah State Fair at the fairgrounds on Saturday, Sep- tember 16. The Farm Bureau talent contest is probably the largest talent find held in Utah each year. The number of contestants at the county level runs into the hundreds, with 60 to 80 county winners participating in the state contest. The contest is divided into three Junior Division age groups-t- he which includes everyone 10 years of age and under; the Intermediate Division for ages 12 thru 16; and the Senior Division for 17 thru 30. The contest is for talent of any kind, such as dancers, singers, musical instrumentalists, readings or comedy sketches. No more than four people can participate in any one number. County winners receive cash prizes and the chance to participate in the state contest. The winner of the Senior Division in the state receives an expense-pai- d trip to the American Farm Bureau Convention in December at Los Angeles. Winners of the other divisions receive cash prizes. If you have anyone in your family who would like to compete, or it you know of anyone who you feel has the talent to be in this contest, have them contact your County Farm Bureau officers for the time and place of the county contest. By Harold Steele, President, Illinois Agricultural Association, and Member, American Farm Bureau Federation Board of Directors (Reprinted from The IAA Record) The telephone rang - the voice from the other end reported: There are about 15 of them out front. Some appear to be of high school age, others may be in college, several are women who look to be in their fifties, and one is dressed as a member of the clergy. All are peaceful in their demonstration and are wearing the customary placards with various inscriptions. This message came from the Bureau American Farm Federation headquarters in Park Ridge, Illinois, at about 10:30 a.m., May 9, 1972. Several State Farm Bureau presidents were in a meeting about five blocks away. Two hours later, we proceeded from our meeting room to the AFBF office. The demonstrators were still there. I was handed a sheet of literature by a blonde boy in his late teens or early twenties. d There was a large, his front side which sign secured to read: hand-printe- FARM BUREAU FARM WORKERS asked the young Similar conversation with a second young demonstrator, an American boy, revealed the words printed on the handout literature. Neither of these two young men had ever been on a farm, nor met a farmer or farm worker. Joining us during this exchange of words was a man who refused to identify himself either by name, profession, or address, but one who was wearing the dress of a clergyman. He had emerged from a parked car across the street when he noted some of the young demonstrators were being queried, and he came forth to participate. I remarked to him, pointedly, that I was surprised and extremely disappointed that a man of his apparent chosen profession had sought to lead young people-ye- s, young people unknowledgeable of the facts of agriculture-t- o wear upon their person phrases of hatred between segments of our society. Was this the message that he preached from the pulpit? How was he, in fact, helping in a Christian manner to bring about a desirable solution to a problem, if a problem does exist? Or was he, in fact, part of the problem? He replied, HATES I live? He replied, simply, Yes, China. The people there arent hungry and destitute like the farm workers here in this country. man, and he and with broken in replied English a slight smile, I did. I then queried, Farm Bureau? Whats that? He pointed to the AFBF headquarters building and Its a bunch of rich said, capitalists. I asked, Do you Who made the sign? mean rich farmers? He anNo, those people in swered, there. I then questioned him, Do you believe the words you printed on this sign? and he retorted, Yes, because Mr. Chavez says so right here in this literature. (Cesar Chavez, head of United Farm Workers National Union.) It was determined through further discussion that this young man, in fact, had been in America home just a matter of days-h- is A Berlin. was West church had brought him to this country. He spoke of many shortcomings of our system of government in America whereupon I asked, Is there a better place for people to work and I' have You and difficulty communicating. I learned at a later time that several of the demonstrators had arrived via a school bus from a private high school. One of the students remarked, I get credit on a social studies course for this. The episode described above depicts one of many efforts directed by the leadership of the United Farm Workers National Union in their endeavor to discredit Farm Bureau and to camouflage the real issue-namela proposed Agricultural Labor Relations Act supported by Farm Bureau. A very interesting fact is worth noting. Many of the ingredients and guidelines of this proposed act are embodied in the National y, Labor Relations Board that governs nonagricultural labor unions. Some of these guidelines are secret balloting and prohibition of secondary boycotts. American Farm Bureau President Kuhfuss has' once again proven his strength of leadership. Farm Bureau has not been swayed in continuing its efforts in support of light and just agricultural labor legislation. |
