Harris d-okla., now have 28 other senators signed As cosponsors for their Bill to promote development of new Industry in Low income Rural areas the aide reports. What s happening is a Broad based re Vival of enthusiasm spurred partly by this summer s wave of City riots for efforts to slow or halt the Drift of untrained Rural people into crowded Urban areas. There is Little basically new in this Effort to provide new Rural jobs mostly in business or Industry to replace those destroyed by the continuing mechanization of agriculture and the consequent disappearance of Small farms. But there is perhaps because of the object Les sons of Detroit Newark and other cities More hopeful talk than Eves before about the possibility that a combination of local initiative and Federal Aid can Brake the one Way Rush away from the Countryside to what Freeman has called the Cave Man  dozens of Federal loan Grant and train ing programs from a half dozen or More agencies Are already available to local authorities who want to revitalize1 Rural areas that have lost population and eco nomic strength. But in spite of a continued increase in these activities which began under the Eisenhower administration in 1954 and have been substantially stepped up since 1961, the strides made remain Small in comparison tothe needs. To Raveling up Down and across the country in a new series of visits to Rural development projects in. Recent months Freeman has been looking listening praising cajoling and sometimes bluntly needling As he tries to win wide pub Lic attention for development campaigns and to stir local officials and Feder Alfield agents to greater exertions.

But consideration in Senate hearings this fall could Lay the ground work for action next year. The Johnson administration so far has taken no formal position on the Pearson Harris tax incentive Bill but Freeman has already adopted for his own depart ment a policy of putting new installations in Rural areas whenever possible. We Don t locate any new facilities now until i take a look to see if they can go in a Rural area he said recently. N agriculture Secretary Freeman gets o first hand look at Rural problems at a Davisboro ga., farmhouse. Up one of the major challenges now facing the nation. We re not talking about a sideshow when we talk about Rural development Freeman told officials of his own another agencies at the session at Gleason. This is the big show. This has to priority.
