Campaign Issues:
Farm Problm
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This the the first in a series of articles of University
faculty-comment on the election issues.)
By MICHAEL BURNS
The past four years in agriculture have produced no noticeable
changes in the existing problems.
This is the opinion of Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the economics
department and Norman Thomas of the political science depart-
ment.
Prof. Boulding says that what the present administration has
done is not enough, but that it has been in the right direction.
The same basic problem still

ped increasingly bitter charges last
night-only one week before the
nation's voters decide which will
become President.
Nixon accused his Democratic
rival of saying Republicans always
had opposed Social Security, and
the Republican nominee said it
was a "bare-faced lie."
The Vice-President stayed on
the pocketbook issue as he cam-
paigned through -Pennsylvania and
New York-with some televised
help from President Dwight D.
Eisenhower and Secretary of the
Treasury Robert B. Anderson.
Kennedy jeeringly pictured Nixon
as unable to stand before the
American people as the Republican
presidential candidate without
leaning on Eisenhower.
Home State
The comment came as Kennedy
began a two-day tour of Cali-
fornia, aimed at winning Nixon's
home state with its parcel of 32
electoral votes. He got a rousing
welcome.
Addressing a rally at the Uni-
versity of Southern California,
Kennedy denounced Nixon as a
stand-patter in a revolutionary
era, saying "I can't believe the
people will accept the status quo."
Wild Welcome
Kennedy's wild welcome into
California had some out-of-the-
ordinary sidelights: fog delayed
his arrival. The motorcycle of a
policeman overheated and the gas
tank blew up. The motor of Ken-
nedy's auto overheated and he had
to change transportation.
Nixon started out his day in
Pennsylvania - a state with 32
electoral votes-and moved into
upper New York-in a state with
the nation's largest electoral count
-45 votes.
In Pennsylvania, the Vice-Presi-
dent pounded on the theme that
the Democrats have made a "poli-
tical football out of a pressing hu-

come.
Present Situation
The present situation is not the
fault of President Dwight D. Ei-
senhower, Agriculture Secretary
Ezra Taft Benson, Congress or
any group, Thomas notes.
Neither candidate presents an
adequate or effective solution for
the problem, Thomas and Prof.
Boulding agree.
Nixon's program comes closer to
solving the long-range problem
than does that of Kennedy, Prof.
Boulding believes.
More Effective
Thomas explains that Kenn
dy's program is more effective
in terms of short-range goals for
the farmer in providing a higher
income, but Nixon's proposals are
'better for agriculture in the long
run, he says.
The Democratic platform calls
for their traditional high price
supports and rigid production
controls. Prof. Boulding terms
' these controls "very dangerous"
because they freeze the existing
conditions and keep marginal
farmers in agriculture.
The GOP places more emphas-
is on a free market system with
flexible supports. Thomas be-
lieves this is "a more realistic ap-
proach" to the situation. In a
free market without controls, the
smaller, more inefficient farmer
will be out and production can
be restricted.
What type of agricultural pro-
gram is needed?
One that will pay the farmers
to get out of agriculture, instead
of paying them to stay in, Prof.
Boulding emphasizes.
Social Security
By reducing retirement and so-
cial security benefit age require-
ments, older farmers could be
urged to retire and let fewer,
more efficient farmers remain.
Thomas advocates a program
that would transfer the bottom
