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.

Farmers Regarded Fairly Well Off
Despite Decrease In Their Income
1 By BRUCE BIOSSAT
No doubt of it, the rosy glow has faded from the farm scene.
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

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.
