The As president of the erican Farm Bureau Federation Board on the current livestock situation is of interest to farmers in this area: "The presently depressed level of livestock prices is the result of a combination of adverse factors including, among other things, high domestic production and sharply increased imports . 'The current high level of domestic meat production reflects the stage of the hog and cattle cycles, and the abnormally high rate of feeding which resulted from the government's policy of dumping CCC stocks to penalize noncooperators under the 1961 and 1962 feed grain program. Corn consumption by cattle on feed was 32.9 per cent greater in 1963 than in 1960. "Increasing imports of red meats have added to the heavy domestic supply, and thereby have contributed to the decline in livestock prices, especially cattle prices. agreements include the Jjghest two years of imports for "a base period and a growth factor which encourages foreign livestock production. These agreements should be canceled. Farm Bureau never has favored the international commodity agreement approach to problems of this type. Farm Bureau will press for legislation to terminate the recently announced agreements and establish realistic import quotas on red "To improve livestock prices, of th e Utah Valley Opera Association, we are chagrined and disappointed, to put it mildly, at the unbusinesslike and unfair manner in which ticket sales have been handled for opera productions, not only this year but last year olso. Many complaints, as well as constructive suggestions have been made to no avail, so we are taking this opportunity to sound off publicly- As season ticket holders we called at the ticket office early Monday morning, the first day tickets were offered, and were told that there were absolutely no center section seats avail-ab- l for any night. Though we found it difficult to believe that in just two hours all center section seats were gone for the four nights, we took our side without complaint. When friends mentioned they had obtained choice center seats for $2.50 as late as Thursday and Friday, we became rather upset. But what rocked the boat most were the telephone calls received from other friends who had season tickets and were told that the production was all sold out and they asked what they could do. There are six or seven families that we know of who hold season tickets, paid for at the beginning of the season, who will not be able to see "My Fair Lady" because of the Poor publicity as to ticket sales and because they section the average amount imported period during a recent and (2) terminate as soon as .practicable the "emergency" feed grain program, which has been ineffective, destructive of the market system, and so costly, especially to livestock pro- non-aggressi- request, T.M.

When we called the ticket office individually, we were all given completely different stories of why this had happened. As the season ticket mambers actually underwrite the operas and are the most active supporters, this is grossly unfair. By having advance sales for family memberships only, for instance, situations like this could be remedied easily. The Symphony Guild recognized this problem year and this season have reserved the center section for symphony concerts until 8 p.m. for family memberships. Because there are so many simple solutions to the inequity of this situation, and because we feel that no one supports more wholeheartedly the growth and success of the Opera and Symphony Association then we do, we offer this in a constructive and helpful manner. For it is obvious that if those who buy season tickets and consistently bring their families and support these productions, are being given second best and none at all, that the Opera Association is undermining its very foundation. Several families have refused family memberships this year because of this very reason. Disenchantment has already taken its toll. Yours, for finer and fairer opera productions! last Barbara Wilkinson Margaret Pope Jaynann Payne Communist world. "The struggle in Viet Nam also stands as a test of whether the Communists will be able to use guerrilla wars to expand their power and control at the expense of the free world. In Communist jargon, the guerrilla attack on South Viet Nam is called 'a war of national liberation', and it is loudly proclaimed by Hanoi and Peiping to be the wave of the future in newly independent countries. "By helping Viet Nam resist this attack, and achieve political stability and healthy growth lines. We along are proving to the new nations of Asia and other parts of the world that such 'wars of national liberation' which in reality are only another form of C o m m u nist imperialism, need not be the wave of the future where the will to resist is strong. "Not only the independence of 14 million South Viet Namese is at stake, but also the independence and freedom of more than 200 million people in Southeast Aisa. Therefore, all Aisa is watching the Viet Namese who with our assistance are struggling against Comunism; for the fate of these millions of people depends in large measnon-commun- ist e." b. wtd for caingl in Washington Window Big Spending Policies That Boost Living Costs Get Cheers From Some Groups By LYLE C.

The UAW now seeks to write into its labor contracts guarantees of immunity from the effects of dollars rotting. UAW wages or retirement benefits would go up as the dollar's purchasing power went down. That would be a good deal for Walter P.

He states, ''The economic and social values of recreation are real, as real as roads, water systems, etc." and they will surface or fix a road, the frequent answer is, "We do not have the funds to do it at the present time, but we will investigate it, and try to get at it when funds become avail- able." We don't have funds for roads, etc., but we have for them to take trips. Apparently they need the trip worse than we need to have county roads hard surfaced and made so they don't shake our cars to pieces as we drive over them.

I thought your readers might be interested in the answer I received. It follows: "South Viet Nam was until 1959 making progress in developing the institutions and economy of a viable twentieth century nation. As Secretary Rusk has said, if it was a threat to North Viet Nam, it was because its economy far outdid the vaunted "CommunYet is paradise" to the north. the Communist regime of North Viet Nam decided that year to step up its campaign of subversion, terrorism, and guerrilla warfare, in violation of the Geneva accord of 1954 providing for a ceasefire and in order to take over the southern half of the country by force. In 1961 in response to the Vietnamese the Government's into decided United States crease its military assistance to help maintain the independence and freedom of a valiant and courageous people who wished to remain free.
