Crop Prices' Support Near

Two Differing Parity
Formulas Allowed To
Operate On Basic Crops
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. (.P)
Congressional leaders called for
swift action today on a newly
put together farm bill giving the
government broad power to sup
port crop prices near present high
le :els indefinitely.
With the House due to vote
first, passage of the bitterly-won
compromise measure seemed cer
tain before the windup of this
session of congress, xepected to-
nigni.
The bill would permit reduc
tions in price supports for all but
a few major commodities next
year. However, it gives the agri
culture department a choice be
tween such action and mainte
nance of present support stand
ards. In some cases, the actual
supports would be higher than
they are now.
The new program, a compro
mise between widely-differing
House and Senate bills, was pro
duced by a conference committee
yesterday after many hours of
haggling.
Most senators and house mem
bers expressed satisfaction at the
result.

Surgeon Forced
To Quit Medical
Society, He Says
PORTLAND, Oct. 19 Uft
A Portland surgeon, head of the
Industrial Hospital association,
was the first of a parade of wit
nesses in the government's mo
nopoly suit against Oregon's or
ganized medicine.
Dr. Chester C. Moore said In
the trial's opening day yesterday
that he had resigned from the
Multnomah County Medical so
ciety In 1936 because the society
council hinted it might oust him.
The ouster talk, he said, result
ed from his refusal to turn over
his pre-paid medical care pro
gram to one backed by the so
ciety. The government charges the
Oregon State Medical society, the
Oregon Physicians' Service, eight
county societies and eight indi
vidual physicians with hindering
development of private prepaid
medical programs.
Dr. Moore said. "I have suf
fered great humilitation. My or
ganization has been embaras-sed
and harassed."

that "in 1936 these defendants

Wage Level
Increase Bill
Given Truman
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. 7P
More than nine months after he
asked for it, a bill boosting the
minimum wage level from 40 to
75 cents an hour went to Presi
dent Truman's desk today.
The senate stamped final con
gressional approval yesterday on
tne measure, representing one oi
the main achievements of the
president's domestic program.
The bill could mean an In
crease in pay for about 1,500,
000 lower paid workers. However,
because of a change in language,
an indefinite number of those
now under the law mav be re
moved from its coverage.
With Coneress set for adiourn-4f
ment tonight the Presidents
friends and foes were busy adding
up the accomplishments or la-k
of them of one of the longest
peacetime sessions.
Besides the minimum wage
measure, administration demo
crats counted as major results
bills extending rent control, pro
viding low-rent housing, author

On the debit side, Mr. Tru

and rejection of the proposal to

In Denouncing
A. F. L Leader
Denial Of Funds To Aid
Steel Strikers Evokes
Miners' Chiefs Wrath
Bv NORMAN WALKER
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 ( AP)
John L Lewis bitterly denounc
ed AFL President William Green
today for turning down a pro
posal to help finance a $2,500,000
weekly strike fund for Philip
Murray's CIO steel workers.
The Mine Workers chief's caus
tic note to Green said:
"You cry loud for labor peace
and labor security, but seldom do
anything to achieve It."
Lewis had proposed that his
own mine workers themselves
on strike put up $250,000 weekly
to help Murray's steel strikers,
and that nine AFL unions put up
equal amounts.
Green replied that pooling la
bor's resources was "impossible
and Impracticable" so long as
Lewis and Murray fail to bring
their unions into the AFL.
Murray approved Lewis' Idea
but said the proposed $2,500,000
a week fund should help striking
mine workers as well as striking
steel workers.
Ltwis Is Sarcastic
Today Lewis fired this reply at
Green following the AFL leader's
rejection of the play:
"You have Justified mv Judg
ment. I did not think you would
do anything. You didn't. You
rarely do. Unfortunately, you fol
low invariably your well known

8-36 Bomber
Defended By
Vandenberg
Slash In Strategic Air
Fleet Would Aid Soviet
Plans, Inquiry Warned
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 ttV
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg said
today that if the United Statea
cuts down on strategic bombing
itrength, then Russia will be Ire
to concentrate on developing of
fensive power.
Vandenberg. the Air Fore
chief of staff, was before the
House Armed Services commit
tee defending the Air Force pol
icy of building up a B 36 bomber
fleet against navy criticism.
The Navy, in hearings lat
week, had argued that the Air
Force should spend lesa time ind
money on strategic bombers and
more on tactical air power to
support ground operations.
Such a policy shift as this. Van
denberg said, would mean:
1. "We would give up the de
terrent value of this nation'i
atomic weapons land we would
place ourselves in disagreement
with all of those people who. on
both sides of the ocean, believe
that soviet agression Is In fact
now being deterred.
2. "We would inform the Rus
sians that they need now take no
defensive measures against a
possible atomic attack on their
heartland. B-36s. B-7a and B50
by merely existing can and do
force the soviet union to channel
its industrial power, technologi
cal skill, manpower and money
into purely defensive measures
and thus cut down resources
which would otherwise be devot
ed to offensive purposes."
3. "If war is forced on us, this
proposal deprives us of the op
portunity of choking off enemy
warmaking power at its source."
He was accompanied to tne
hearing by Air Secretary Sym
ington, who testified yesterday,
and by top Air Force generals.
Vandenberg first took up the
attacks by navy officers on na
tional defense policies which set
high importance on strategic
bombing. He read to the commit
tee excerpts from a joint chiefs
of staff document saying the
chiefs, separately and jointly.
agreed that the policies are sound.
Admiral Louis Denfleld, chief
ot naval operations and a mem-
oer oi tne joint cruets, last weett
told the committee he supported
Cized tho strategic- bombing -con
cept.
Not Lone Wolf Optratlon V
The strategic air command,
Vandenberg said, orjeratea direct
ly under the joint chiefs of staff,
rarner man tne Air orce.
This nation's strategic plans are
not made "on a lone-wolf zasis,"
Vandenberg said, but In "Increas
ingly close cooperation" with the
free natlona of western Europe.
He added:
"Witnesses here have recom
mended that we cancel out this
country's capability of conducting
a strategic offensive with atomie
weapons."
"Adoption of this proposal
would, in my judgment, destroy
the one greatest equalizing fac
tor In the balance of military
power between a potential enemy
and the western democracies and
could only be received with con
tempt or despair by those who
have joined for common defense."
Navy Chargt Refuted
Vandenberg denied, as Secre
tary Symington did yesterday,
that the air force is "putting all
Its eggs In one basket" the B-36s.
The navy so charged last week.
Actually, Vandenberg said the
strategic air command operates
only 29 per cent of the planes of
the entire air force, and only five
per cent are B-36s. The B-36 units
contain only four oer cent of tha
total manpower of the air force.
Vandenberg dlsmussed as "noth
ing but a series of assertions"
Navy claims that the B-36 could
not do the strategic bombing Job
the air force says It can.
