Interment will follow In the Civil Bend Cemetery Farm Price Support Favored by Truman (Continued from Page One) price iupport program for corn, wheat, and other grain. Vital Question Raised Of special interest to farmers, was Mr. Truman's call for stand by authority to put price ceilings on scarce commodities. Much of the public criticism of prices has been aimed at food prices. This raises the question whether the administration still thinks ceil ings should be set on farm prod ucts. Agriculture officials told a re porter they doubt Mr. Truman would put any foods under ceil ings al this time. Many farm products have declined in price since he last called for price control authority. Furthermore, they said, ceilings on higher priced foods such as meats might tend to discourage pro duction and prolong shortages. Food Stamp May Come Also of particular Interest fb farmers was Mr. Truman's re quest for legislation aimed at expanding food consumption by low Income groups. He did not spell out this request, hut the administration has In the past given much thought to a government-subsidized food stamp program which would be used to help the poor buy more food. Such a plan would provide farmers with a larger market and hence lessen chances of de pressed prices and crop sur pluses. Mr. Truman also renewed a request for legislation giving the Agriculture Department greater authority to control speculation In the farm commodity markets. In 1917, when farm prices were advancing sharply and specu lative activity reached a record peak, the president lashed out at speculators.

"I stand squarely behind those proposals," he said. Asserting "the heart of our foreign policy is peace," the presi dent requested that the hands of the country's diplomats and of the United Nations be strengthened by passage of a universal training law. He said its enactment "is es sential to the security of the United States." Until a system of world security Is established "upon which we can safely rely," he said, "we cannot escape the burden of creating and maintaining armed forces suffi cient to deter aggression." Mr. Truman said "the state of the union is good," but that pros perity is threatened "at a number of critical points in the economy." He proposed his antl-J(nfl,atjon jjro gram to put him in a position to take effective action "at these dan ger spots." The president recommended a minimum wage of at least 75 cents nn hour (It is now 40 cents), a million new low-rent public housing units over the next seven years, expanded social security coverage and other social meas ures, and declared; "We have rejected the discred ited theory that the fortunes of the nation should be In the hands of the privileged few. We have abandoned the 'trickle-down con cept of national prosperity. In stead, we believe that our eco nomic system should rest on a democratic foundation and that wealth should be created for the benefit of all. "The recent election shows that the American people are in favor of this kind of societv and want to go on improving it." At the same time, the chief executive said the government "must work with Industry" as well as with labor and the farmers "to keep our industry running at full speed." Under the type of policies he wants continued, he said, "our pri vate enterprise system has reached new heights of produc tion." In support of his tax recommen dations, the president said "It is essential not only that the federal budget be balanced, but also that I here be a substantial surplus to reduce Inflationary pressures, and permit a sizable reduction In the national debt, which now stands at $252,000,000,000." He did not specify the nature of the "additional corporate taxes." he wants imposed or how much of the four billion he would raise by this levy.
