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.
Oregon Beaver Boys On
Way To National Forum
PORTLAND, July 28.
Ted C. De Merritt of Malin and
Ralph Thayer of Portland were
in route to Washington. D. C, to
day -to participate in a national
bovs' forum.
The 17-year-olds were leaders
in the Oregon Beaver Boys' State
prograrns. Thayer was governor
of th.- American Legion-sponsored
boys' state meeting at Corvallis
and De Merritt was elected "out-
' standing citizen."
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."
