SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6. 1953 Texas Farmers Must Gamble With Drought Postwar inflation plus the Korean war did nothing to reverse the trend. Under these pressures, farmers opened; new land previously kept in pasture grass, or stripped off protective plants from other soil, exposing it to the strong western For a long time it seemed aa it the bitter lesson of the old Dust Bowl of the 1930's had been well learned. But the terrible Tx-a- s drought of 1953 shattered that notion. The memory of the black blizzarda of the Thirties did burn deep with the farmer. of the Southwest. They exercised a caution not seen earlier, and had available to them rt!as technical, advice .about farmmp not on hand before Du.st Eowl days. But "the caution vanished with World War II, which brought record demand and hiyh prices for crops and meat product?. ex-servi- . There are tens of 'thousands of acres of land in the plains areas that will make a crop if rainfall is good. But rain in much of these regions is erratic. Drought must be expected, even it it does not come for several years.. Farming that does not take that-fainto account is a gamble. The magnet of . high prices, plus certain population pressures westward in the plains states, led many men to take that gamble in the last decade. Now, in the serious devastation of western Texas land in 1953, the first penalty g is being paid. Only in for this the short run did'the gamble pay off. The fields bare of crops and the cattle ranges parched in the withering sun are the grim and inevitable, answer to that kind of facia? new home for" his future, he may be more interested in going back to school or in taking advantage of the other benefits a grateful people have made available for him.

Class consciousness is rapidly disappearing and the essential dignity of the worker is recognized and respected. Relations between labor and management are stil far from ideal in this country.

Gwynne's Sept. 25. vhen Spingarn's President Eisenhower has been by appointment confirmed by the Senate. The shift here is Jrom an extremely liberal young New Dealer to an older ultraconservative. Spingarn, a Democrat, is 45. Gwynne is 64. The two have only one thing ia common. Both were educated as lawyers. In the 11 years that Representative Gwynne was in Congress from 1934 to 1348 he piled up a record that left no doubt as to where he stood. He faithfully represented his dominantly Republican district of 14 counties around Waterloo, which was his home. The Gwynne record is perhaps best illustrated by his votes in the last session of the 80th Republican Congress. , Congressman Gwynne voted for the GOP-tareduction bill and he voted to override President Truman'a veto of that bill. The congressman . voted against extension of rent controls. He voted against repeal of the federal tax on margarine. He voted against the Marshall Flan and T r extension of that plan.

The contrast in the two careers could not be greater. Spingarn s first job was as an attorney in the Treasury Department, where he worked until the war broke out. He was in fifth Army Counter intelligence Corps for four years, winning Legion 01 Merit and Bronze Star with valor ribbon.

As a commissioner, Spingarn kicked up his greatest fuss in 1952 when he accused major U. S. oil companies of conducting a bitter propaganda campaign in 67 foreign countries against the FTC report on the existence ot an alleged international oil cartel. Throughout his career on FTC, Commissioner Spingarn waged war on the lobbies of special interests which he said were seeking to tear down the authority of government rezulatory agencies acting as courts on business and fair-traprac tices.

It should also be remembered that the man who fought in Korea has had a somewhat different experience than the veteran of World War II. In World War II service men were conditioned to the hope for an eventual victory and a resultant life of peace. The men who served in Korea fought a war that no one wanted and it ended in. stalemate without the stimulation of victory. The Korean, veteran may not yet know what career he .wishes to follow.
