AST;' VB Teleoholo) G. 0. P. Will Win Congress Control, Chairman Says WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 VP) Republicans got a prediction from National Chairman Guy G. Gabrielson today that their party will win control of Congress in November. The occasion was a party gath ering, sort of a pocket-size na tional convention, canea to arau a 1950 campaign platform. Ga brielson tied his prediction to an "if" In that connection. He said that if the GOP comes out with a "definite, sound ami convincing declaration of prin ciples It will strengthen the party in tne Movemoer voune -ana give us once again working ma jorities In both Senate and House." Gabrielson also said In welcom- Ine address that Republican sen ators and representatives will be called upon to "implement our declaration by legislation." This seemed to put the national chairman at odds with some GOP members of Congress. These members have been insist ing that the proposed statement of party principles be couched in such broad terms that it would not affect their votes on bills pending before Congress. Among others, Senator Taft (R Ohio) has said any declaration worked out Dy tne senate policy drafting group of which he is chairman would not deal with specific measures before Con gress. At the same time, Senator Mil likin of Colorado, chairman of the conference of all Republican senators, made it plain that any declaration of policy will have to have advance approval of candl dtes before it is adopted. The seats of 12 Republican sen ators are at stake in November and Millikin told a reporter all of them will get a crack at the platform before it goes before the entire Senate Republican mem bership. U. S. Battleship Missouri Stuck In Channel Mud NORFOLK. Va, Jan. 18-ff) The world's largest "stick-in-the-mud" the 45,000-ton battleshiD Missouri c lung tenaciously to her Chesapeake bay mudbank near here today and practically dared the Navy to try to pull her on. Waterfront speculators ventur ed an opinion that the "Mighty Mo," America's only-active bat tleship, would remain stuck in the mud "for some time" a mile and half north-northeast of old Point Comfort. Lending emphasis to their be lief was a Navy announcement that two very heavy Navy tugs from New York are expected to arrive tomorrow to assist in the rescue operations. Veterans watermen predicted that the battlewagon, on whose main deck the Japanese surren dered to end World War II, would be freed only after a sub-channel has been dredged from the main ship channel to the spot where the Missouri lies stranded. The Navy made two attempts to float the ship yesterday, once shortly after she grounded and again at high tide last night. But a dozen tugs couldn't budge her an inch. Two fleet tankers removed most of the ship's two million gallons of fuel oil in an effort to lighten her. That didn't help. So they planned to remove her am munition today.

But the 1950 outlook is still far from gloomy. In 1949 the farmers Income. fell 16 per cent below 1948. Ex pert Agriculture Department op inion 1 that another drop of about the same size will occur this year. Up to now the gov ernment's lavish effort to keep prices aloft with Its support pro gram has failed to halt the de cline. While prices were at peak lev els In 1947 and 1948, the farm er's balance sheet was at its healthiest. In addition to high crop and livestock income, he had the advantage of so a r 1 n g farm land values. He could in vest In new and better machin ery, modernize his home, reduce his mortgage and other debts. Naturally, all these things are lined to Income. As that sagged, the farmer's assets In land and equipment began to Inch down ward In value, and his debU turned upward. Mortgage indebt edness reflected the change most markedly at first. Now farm real estate is show ing it. The Agriculture Depart ment announces that for the year ending Nov, 1949, the value Chrysler Pension Proposal Fails To Satisfy Workers niTpmr tm -iq tan i-i. doesn't care for the conditions oi nrysier corporation s uiuu-a- iiiuiuii pension oner.

Third Street Phone 935 of the farmer's land sank six per cent from the previous year's levels. That's the first pronounced drop to hit farm real estate sine values hit depression bottom with a thud in 1932-33. In the fiast year eight states, mostly n the mountain and Pacific coast areas, suffered declines ot 10 per cent or more. Only five had gains, and none except New Jersey reported an advance of more man i per cem. The government thinks farm land prices will fall still further this year. But it doesn't expect the decline to match that in tne farmer's shrinking income. Bad as all this sounds, tht department sees no real cause for alarm. Most farm prices still are well above prewar figures. arm debt is far from stagger ing. And land values are about double the 1935-39 average. Compared to his cousin of the 1920's and 1930's, the farmer of 1950 still looks like a pretty lucky fellow. And all signs suggest he'll be able to keep out of serious trouble for many months to come. Furthermore, with popu lation still climbing, his long range prospects appear unusually bright.
