IConflnosd from f*f« 1|
the way things went, and
expressed a bit of confidence
at an earlier interview with
this reporter that the Senate
may change its mind and
confirm him after all. He
made the remarks following
his appearance at the
Pennsylvania Grange’s
Annual Convention in
Lancaster last month.
Although the Agriculture
Secretary acknowledged -
finding some new support
within the Senate, he
hesitated to predict for sure
one way o»- another which
way the voting would go.
Freed noted that the ob
jections against McHale
centered on the same issues
which were brought up last
July - primarily the ac
cusation that McHale is
acting as more of a welfare
secretary than Secretary of
Agriculture.

According to Freed, there
were no new objections
brought up • “no surprises."
McHale meanwhile con
tinues to defend his actions
and programs quite openly,
referring to himself as a
spokesman for the family
farmer.
It is interesting to note that
although Secretary McHale
is a highly controversial
figure within the Com
monwealth, the Associated
Press has in some of its
stories reported that he
(McHale) is highly regarded
and respected outside of the
state.
The criticisms most
frequently burled at McHale
concern “so-called” rural -
development programs
which many people believe
do not belong within the
Department of Agriculture.
However, he is known to
have some support for his
programs. One successful
dairyman observed that “at
least McHale is doing
something useful with the
funds, rather than wasting
them cm a program to study
sex life of some African
lizard."
McHale himself defends
his programs by saying his
“rural - development”
programs only consume five
percent of the funds within
his Department. Most of the
budget for these projects
came through federal
money, he says.
While the vote in the
Senate may be so dose to
make a prediction of the
outcome difficult, if not
impossible, the majority of
farmers and
agribusinessmen who have
made their opinions known
to the staff of this newspaper
have indicated they would
prefer a change in Penn
sylvania’s Department of
Agriculture - namely a new
Secretary.

Federal land control
opposed hy Grange
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Grange Delegates attending the
109th Annual Session of the National Grange in Columbus,
Nov. 10-18, voted opposition to legislation that would take
land use decisions away from local and state govern
ments. They said conditions vary so greatly in different
parts of the country that a national land use policy could
not possibly be adopted.
Jade Silvers, Chairman of the Agriculture Committee
and Washington State Grange Master, said the Grange
will support legislation which limits the Corps of
Engineer’s permit system for dredge and fill operations to
navigable waters as traditionally defined by the Corps. He
said the current interim regulations relaeaaed by the
Corps appear to be a form of federal land use control
which the Grange opposes.
Silvers said National Grange Delegates votes to support
legislation to amend the Grain Standards Act which would
reorganize the Federal Grain Inspection Service. He said
recent scandals involving grain inspectors and grain
exporting firms have demonstrated weaknesses in the
Act. The Grange recommends the Service be changed to
Federal-State-Private inspection service that would
require federal inspection at all export points and a State-
Private inspection system at interior points with USDA
support inspections, a conflict of interest provision and
severe penalties for violations.-
The Grangers feel farm produce is threatened by En
vironmental Protection Agency regulations and will
request Congress to clearly define the limits of EPA
control. The Grange is opposed to any interpretation by
the EPA which extends their authority to include normal
farming activities.
