What motivates a man such as Agee to turn against his country I cannot say. but whether his dark plan will In­ effective will depend in part on whether there is a change of attitude toward intelligence- gathering in official Washington So far. the Carter administration has failed to stop the erosion of the US intelligence capability or to undo the damage that Congress has inflicted in recent years Without good intelligence we cannot monitor arms control agreements we cannot assess the military threats for which we must be prepared we cannot combat terrorism at home Yet. Congress has taken steps to weaken our in­ telligence organizations over the last few years It imposed a web of restrictions on the collection of vital information and made it easier to leak, or to discover, how and where our intelligence organizations get information 'thus helping criminals at home and ad versaries abroad to deceive and evade our collection ef forts i At the same time.

McHenry Several Options Open In Maturing Farm Loans If a farmer s corn loan is about to mature, he has two options besides redeeming it or forfeiting the crop to the Commodity Credit corporation, according to Jim Lucas, an official of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service 'ASCSi First. Lucas says, he can extend his loan on the same terms for an additional thirty days Or second, if he chooses, he can place his crop directly into the farmerowned grain reserve "Extending the loan gives farmers more time to weigh the other options." Lucas says In addition, Lucas points out that the loan program for 1977 corn has been reopened to permit be taken at the Soveit military buildup The resulting reassessment is now widely accepted as a correction of our intelligence that was overdue As it turned out. U S in­ telligence had underestimated the .Soviet buildup in missile forces for 10 years in a row. and thus inadvertently misled us in our defense planning and arms control negotiations By abolishing the independent advisory board. Carter has made it even harder for such serious intelligence failures to be corrected in the future farmers who didn't take out loans earlier a chance to enter the grain reserve Farmers signing up for new loans on their 1977 corn must agree to enter the reserve, Lucas said Through the reserve program, farmers shield their commodities from the market to help strengthen prices They receive payments to store the commodity on their farms or in commercial warehouses In turn, they pay interest charges the first year, but not the two succeeding years, and agree to leave their commodities in the reserve until prices climb substantially or for three years For more information on commodity loans and the farmer-owned grain reserve, contact the local ASCS office at 1143 North Seminary avenue, Woodstock or phone 338-0444 Faith is what helps us to carry on in spite of life's d i s a p p o i n t m e n t s a n d regrets.
