He cited a case where a man was turned down on a VA loan because his home wasn't on a paved street, "We would like to see the delegation on the alert to give farm veterans an even break," Price declared. Sen.

Strom Thurmond, who gave the luncheon, promised the delegation "will do all it can to atraifht-en out problems concerning the Veterans' Administration." "We are veterans, ourselves," he said, "and are vitally Interested." He suggested that his guests, all real estate men, "call on us at anytime that's what we are here for, to serve the people of South Carolina." Congressman William J. Bryan TAD Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 A South Carolina real estate official yes terday charged the Veterani Ad ministration wlih "looking out for the city boyi and forgetting tbe farm boys." Speakin at a luncheon given in the Capitol, Col. Frank Barnwell of Florence called on mcmberi of the South Carolina delegation to aupjwrt two bills, one in the House and one In the Senate, which he said would put VA farm leans on a par with loans to the city dwellers. Barnwell said all veterani' or ganizations are behind the bills, as well as all real estate boards.

Also critical of the VA'i present loan policy was Henry Price of Aiken, who said "there'i too much Li IS I AFL Threatens To Expel Big Hawaii Unicn MIAMI REACH, Fla Feb. 4 W-The AFL todiy threatened one of Us major unions with expulsion if it takes in Communists ami mappril a drive to oust Harry Bridges' longshoremen's union from Hawaii. The AFL's powerful executive council aimed the expulsion threat at the 282,000 member AFL Amalgamated Mea'. Cutters and Huteher Workmen's International union. Meanwhile, it was reliably reported that AFL lenders, lod by President Richard Gray of the AFL Building and Construction Trades department, planned an all-out organizing drive to oust the International Longshoremen and Warehousemen Union from its dominant labor position representing shipping, sugar and pineapple workers in the Hawaiian Islands.

The meat cutters group, headed by Patrick Gorman of Chicago, has arranged to take in the 70,000 Fur and Leather Workers International Union which, like the ILWU, was among the labor organizations kicked out of the CIO five years ago for pro-Communist policies. Gorman said the ouster threat "doesn't change our plans at all," and his union will absorb the fur-leather group as planned. But AFL President George Meany made it clear this would inevitably lead to a move to expell the meat cutter union at the next AFL convention, scheduled September 15 at Chicago. "They have a clear warning what they face," Meany said grimly. Meany said while Gorman's union claims to have taken adequate safeguards to control or eliminate any Communists found In the fur-leather organizations, the AFL still has its doubts.

He laid the AFL is determined not to "become a temporary haven for an Communist organization." sympathy for the farmers from the Eisenhower Administration. This Is the attitude of every official in this Administration," he said. II. E. Ashby of North Charleston noted the interest rate on VA loans hard on the builders, with the 4 per cent discount which they must pay." He said this is often passed on to the veteran, though It isn't legal.

He asked the delegation to throw its weight behind a proposal to wipe out the 4 per cent discount tag. Sen. Thurmond's luncheon guests included Sen. Olin D. Johnston, Reps.

It said a 25,000 word report to the recent Central Committee session by party boss Nikita Khrushchev showed an "important organizational change has' taken place'? in the committee which was directly connected with Khrushchev's effort to build his own power. Radio Free Europe said in the Russian Sovialiht Federated Soviet Republic almost two thirds of the regional party secretaries have been changed. It added that about a third ot the secretaries have been removed in the other autonomous members of the Central Committee. Khrushchev, first secretary of the party, is regarded by some as Premier Georgi Malenkov's rival in a for power. His four-hour speech to the Communist party meeting Jan.

25 sharply criticized some government officials. The report blasted the advocates of a broad consumer goods program. "In the final paragraphs of the section on party work, Khrushchev reports that in the Central Committee, a department of party organs for the RSFSR and an agricultural department for the RSFSR have been created," the analysis continued. "This is the first important step involving the central party organization since Khrushchev was named first secretary. Since there is no Communist party of the RSFSR, as is the case for all the other republics, this may be considered as the first move in that direction." The RSFSR Is the largest and most important of the 16 Soviet republics.

It covers 6,300,000 square miles out of 8,300,000 in all Russia and has a population of half the U.S.S.R. total. 15 LIFE AFTER DEATH Made in the image of God, we shall live forever with God. "Love can never lose its Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 Farmers over the nation are ruffering because of Republican farm bills, Sen.

Olin D. Johnston, second ranking member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, charged yesterday. Johnston said he recently has made several trips to South Carolina and discussed results of the program wRh a number of farmers. "I found the bite already is there," he declared. He recalled that a year ago he "prophesied hard times for the farmers if Congress followed the lead set by the Administration." The record shows last August he refused to sign the Conference Report of the Agriculture Act of 1954.

He also voted against adoption of the report when wai brought before the full Senate. On Aug. 17 he made a speech on the Senate floor, also on record, In which he predicted farmers would suffer because of the then-debated farm bill. It was passed over hii objections. Of his talks with South Carolina farmers, Sen.

Johnston said the farmers, and particularly the small farmers, have a dim view toward a 1955 income from treir money crops. "Many of them have large families and tenants to care for, with only three or four acrs of cotton for their 1955 allotment," he said. "These farmers have brought their problems to me, and I intend to make it known to every member of the Senate, as well as the Republican Administration farm leaders, that a repeal of many sections of the Agriculture Act of 1954 will be necessary if the small farmers are to survive." Legislation already has been sponsored this year by Johnston which would Increase the national cotton acreage allotment to million acres, with various provision that would benefit the small farmers. Biggest aid to the IHUe farmer is a provision to up minimum acreage to four acres, or 75 per cent of the highest number of acres planted in 1952-53-54, depending on which would favor the farmer the greatest. He also has put before the 84ith Congress a bill increasing the national marketing quota to 11V4 million bales of cotaou.

Another bill he authored last month, entitled the "Surplus Food Certificate Act of 1955," would make available to persons now receiving certain welfare and retirement compensation food certificates which could be redeemed by local merchants for certain food commodities. He also has co-sponsored a bill to increase rice planting in South Carolina, one of the nation'i biggest rice-eating states and formerly a heavy planter of the staple. In yesterday'a criticism of the agriculture program, Johnston said he is strongly opposed to a provision in the 1954 Agriculture Act Delegation Members Oppose Salary Raise Washington Burean WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 Several members of the South Carolina legislative delegation have gone on record opposing a hike hi their salaries, but how they actually feel may be a different story. Hearty smiles appeared at a luncheon yesterday when a South Carolina constituent declared, "We're 100 per cent for giving our delegation a pay raise they deserve it." The speaker, Col.

Frank Barnwell of Florence, brought even wider grins of appreciation when he said: "No delegation in this country is closer to the people than you men from South Carolina. We feel each and every one of you are doing a fine job and should have more money." "That fellow makes a right good speech," observed Rep. L. Mendel Rivers of the First Congreslonal District. STOCK SALE.

The General Motors Corpora tion recently filed plans with th Securities and Exchange Commis sion for the sale of 4.385.000 shares of stock This was the largest in dustrial offering on government recurda. states, Mnidom told this re porter. He drew an Imaginary map on his desk as he spoke of Western efforts to keep the three nations- all members of the British Commonwealth out of the Red orbit His argument: Red China donv inates the Indian subcontinent strategically and, for that reason alone, its inhabitants are not likely to line up against the Communist bloc. And Indian self-interest goes along with natural bonds of color. ''Anyway, aside from a few tribes or groups," Strijdom said, "the Indian people are not fight ers." (India currently heads a neu tralist Asian bloc which Prime Minister Nehru is trying to expand Neighboring Pakistan has a mill lary alliance with Turkey and i mutual defense pact with the Unit ed States.

Ceylon, an island nation of less than nine million off Indias' southern tip, has never figured largely in world mili'tfry affairs.) The South African Prime Min ister criticized India on another count. He accused India of aligning herseli with Negro campaigns to drive the white man from Africa, backing "all kinds of antagonism against white rule." Indian agitation and Communist agitation are realities in Africa, he said. He expressed belief "stricter control" of backward African communities is needed to counteract the effects. Strijdom took over political leadership of South Africa last Dec. 1 upon the resignation of F.

Malan, 76. Like Malan, he backs the Nationalist policy of racial segregation and white supremacy, Strijdom, although ha spoke English and Afrikaans while being interviewed, never speaks English in public. Afrikaans is the form of Dutch spoken in South Africa. Strijdom was born in Cape Province, but grew to fame as "The Lion of the Transvaal," the prov ince which forms the home base of the Nationalist party. He began as an ostrich farmer, but the slump in demand for os trich feathers in the early 1930s broke him.

He then won a law degree, entered practice and politics. He was lands minister in Malan's Cabinet. He received this correspondent for nearly an hour in an office in the shadows of Capetown's towering Table Mountain. Strijdom spoke quietly and quick ly. Occasionally he gestured with fingers and fists as his feelings rose over some of the issues that have divided the 2V4 million whites and 10 million nonwhites in South Africa.

Among the highlights were: On democracy in South Africa: Without question this is a demo cratic country, Strijdom maintained, even though Nationalist governments, like others, have placed "certain limitations on individuals in the interest of society as a whole."
