Mow Perioral nwTt i vuvi ui Farm Bill Is To Be Drafted ' Bipartisan Agreement Junks Most Proposals Of Secretary Brannan WASHINGTON, July 28 Farm minded jenatort agreed Wednesday to try to draft a new federal farm program and push .. it through the present session of Congress. Chairman Elmer Thomas (D Okla) said the Senate agriculture committee directed a seven-man nubcommiltee headed by Sena tor Anderson (D-N.M.) to draft the new farm bill. Both Democrats and Republi cans on the committee agreed that the new proposal ignored most proposals of Secretary of Agriculture Brannan. - - Instead, they reported general - agreement upon this program: 1. Jietentbn of relatively high level government price supports for the so-called basic commodi ties: corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, rice and peanuts. Most senators were said to favor fixed sup ports at 90 percent of parity If farmers approve planting and marketing controls. 2. Use of a flexible price sup ' port program for meats, dairy - products, fruits and other so '., .called non-basic and perishable farm, products. Under this the level of government suDnorts could be raised or lowered in an attempt to control production. Majority leader Lucas (DIM), , a member of the agriculture committee, told reporters outside tne closed session that "we'll have some kind of farm legis lation" acted upon at this ses sion.' Aiken Law Favored , Senator Aiken (R-Vt) is a member of the subcommittee that will draft the new proposal and also is sponsor of the so-called long-range flexible price-support act, approved by Congress last year to become effective at the beginning of next year. Aiken said he will work with ' Anderson, former secretary of agriculture, in what Anderson culled an attempt to make "the Aiken act more serviceable." Anderson said the main points of disagreement among the Sen fte committee that must be worked out, are: 1. Whether the government prle props under cotton, corn, and other so-called basic crops should be rigid at 90 percent of paritv as under present law, or be flexible so they can be lowered if supplies become ex cessive. 2. Whether the present sys tem of computing parity prices should be retained or a new one adopted. A parity price Is one - intended to give a larm product the same relative purchasing pow er it had in a past period. A new parity formula, includ ed as part of the J948 act to be come effective at the end of this year, would use a recent 10-year period In computing parity prices. The result would be to - raise support levels slightly for meats, dairy products, eggs and poultry, and lower slightly the supports for grains. Before the committee meet- ' Ing Anderson said he had two proposals in draft form. . World Peace On , Force Basis Plan Due In Senate WASHINGTON, July 28-m Two differing proposals to under '..write world peace with force were drafted for submission to the Senate Tuesday. Chances are slight for consideration of either until after this session of Con gress. Each has the backing of a sub r stantial bloc of senators. Senator c Tobey -tP.-NHi. with pledges of support from 13 others, led sup port for a resolution which would declare it American policy to transform the United Nations into a limited world federation with power to enforce peace. Sixteen senators, headed by Senator Kefauver (D-Tenn) back- signers of the new North Atlantic pact into an alliance of free states. The Kefauver resolution asks the President to call a conven tion of the treaty nations. Ke fauver said the idea is to "estab ' lish real cooperation among the Atlantic pact nations not only in i. military matters but in foreign :tr policy, trade, currency and other matters." A third proposal already Is pending. Sponsored by Senator Sparkman ID-Ala), It would seek to bv pass the veto power wielded so frequently by Soviet Russia. c . and set up an atomic arms se curity force to make the U. N. t supreme. Senator Magnuson (D-Washl noted that the resolution points to only limited sovereignty in the United Nations and "does not en vision a world government with full powers." Two new recruits boosted the list of sponsors to 18 by the time the Kefauver resolution was of fered. They Included Senator Cain (R-Washi.

ECA Purchase Of Lumber, Fruits In Northwest Urged By Washington's Senator WASHINGTON, July 28 VPy Senator Magnuson (D-Washl said Wednesday he will expect consid eration In Economic Cooperation administration purchases for lumber and fruits. He opposed. In a Senate speech, an amendment to the ECA ap propriation bill which would ear mark funds for purchase of sur plus agricultural products. He said It would freeze approximate ly $1,000,000,000 of the appropri ation. In its Justification to the ap propriation committee to support the request for money to pur chase agricultural products, ECA submitted a list which, Senator Magnuson observed, included such "catchall" categories as "other foods." "other fibers" and "other agricultural products." He said past experience as sures that the products most like ly to be surplus are wheat, corn, tobacco and cotton, and he add ed: "In my Judgment It will be very detrimental, not only to the ECA program but to all other agricultural products, to give cot ton, corn, tobacco and wheat the extremely preferential treatment implied in this amendment." Northwest Merits Share He said the administrator must be free to give attention to other American Industries which have a historical reliance on export. He said these Include lumber and fruit from the Pacific Northwest. Some varieties of apples and pears, he said, have been devel oped especially for export trade. "These industries," he said. "are hard-hit by the world wide dollar shortage. They Justifiably look to ECA, not only for sym pathetic treatment, but for posi tive action. To date they have been granted a sympathetic ear but little by way of positive re- suits has been forthcoming." I The apple Industry, he said. I sold approximately 30 per cent of its crop before the war to countries participating now In the ECA program. He said the pro gram for this vear contemplates nearly $9,400,000 for fruits other Thur., July 28, 1949 The Newt-Review, Roteburg, Or. 9 than dried fruits and described that amount as "only a drop in the bucket" compared to pre waV exports. 'The administrator must have flexibility if he is to do the job the Congress and the country want him to do. I serve nolice, however, that unless greater at tention is paid by ECA represen tatives abroad to our domestic problems, I shall be among those supporting legislation requiring them to do so."
