$2 Billion
Farm Funds
Boost Asked
Amendment To Price
Supports Measure
ly Magnuson Ktpt
WASHINGTON. March SO -UP)
A $2,000,000,000 increase in gov
ernment funds (or firm price sup
ports was recommended (or sec
ond time to the Senate Wednesday
by its agriculture committee.
The House already has aDoi-oved
the measure boosting funds (or the
Commodity Credit corporation. The
aenate committee approved House
bill but tacked on an amendment
concerned with foreign agricul
tural imports.
Senator Ellender (D-La) said the
committee am this:
1. It voted down a so-called
grain trade amendment by Sena
tor Thye (R-Minn). This would
have required the government to
use private trade facilities in hand
ling the millions of bushels of
wheat, corn and other grains ac
quired under the price support pro
gram. 2. The 10 senators present voted
unanimously to retain an amend
ment by Senator Magnuson ID
Wash), aimed at keeping out for.
eign agricultural imports whenever
they compete with domestic farm
crops that are under price sup
ports. Both the Thye and Magnuson
amendments were contained in the
first version of the bill reported
to the Senate. The measure was
sent back to the committee on re
quest of Majority Leader Lacs
(Dili) for reconsideration of the
two amendments which- were op
posed by the administration.
Secretary o( Agriculture Bran
nan objected to the Thye grain
trade amendment which was strip
ped from the bill. He said it could
completely wreck the price prop
program by adding to costs of
handling millions of bushels of
grains and impeding storage facili
ties for farmers who need price
supporting loans.
The State department has been
objecting vigorously to the Mag
nuson amendment. Officials con
tend it would interfere with the
tariff cutting reciprocal trade
agreements program.
The Magnuson amendment would
require that all future trade pacts
and extension of those now in op
eration include an "escape clause"
to protect U.S. federal farm pro
grams. Such a provision was added to
another farm price support bill
last year by the Senate, but it
finally was killed in a Senate
House conference on that mea
sure. There has been much congres
sional criticism of large imports
of Canadian potatoes in recent
years while this country was tak
ing multimillion dollar losses on
surplus Irish potatoes.
Both the House bill and Senate
committee version would raise
CCC funds by $2,000,000,000 above
its present authority of 14,850,000,
J)00 to support farm prices.

Really Socialism,
Judge Tooze Says
Concentration of power at the
nation's capital in the last 30 years
is "dangerous." presiding Circuit
Judge Walter L. Tooze of Portland,
declared Tuesday, speaking before
tne KoseDarg Kiwanis club.
The bureaucracy thus created
has been "vested with the power to
adopt rules and regulations having
all the force of law and no adequate
judicial review has been provid
ed." said Judge Toou, a candidate
for state supreme court in the May
primary.
"Many of the departures (rem
our basic principles of government,
which have in many instances cur
tailed our freedom and independ
ence as free Americans, have been
brought about upon the theory of a
planned economy," be said.
Today, more planned economy
very much more ia in the offing.
A "planned economy' haa a much
nicer sound to the average Ameri
can than the word 'socialism,' yet
in truth they are the same.
He said the extension and growth
of bureaucracy was not a partisan
question, adding: "Congress must
accept the responsiblity ... No
political party can be blamed for
it, because congress is composed
of both Democrats and Republi
cans . . ."
"Communists and their fellow
travelers seek to control the
thoughts of the church as a part of
their program to bring about So
cialism in the United States,"
Judge Tooze said.
"The church is the greatest sta
bilizing influence in the world today
and must be left free," said Judge
Tooze. "We must not permit to
happen in this country what
has happened to the churches in
the shadow of the Iron Curtain."
Judge Tooze attacked bigotry and
intolerance as having no place in
the American way of life, and de
clared neither are there any second
class citizens in America.
He emphasized that "it is in the
courts of justice that the standards
of the euqality of man must be
fireserved" and stressed that the
aw must treat all men as equals
regardless of race, color, creed
or social standing.
Judge Tooze was introduced by
Dr. C. B. Wade. The judge's Ulk
was recorded for broadcast re
lease over KRNR at 1:45 p.m.
Tuesday.
Business of the meeting included
the election of George Neuner Jr.
as a director to replace Dale
Simms, who has moved to Eugene.
It was announced the Facitic
Northwest Kiwanis district spring
conference would be held at Pilot
Butte inn in Betid April IT, starting
at 10:30 a.m. Several local mem
bers will attend.

Truman Declares
WASHINGTON, March 30. (IP)
President Truman declares scien

the farm surplus and income prob
lem. In 'j' tr 'ent ,0 farmer- scien"
tists and businessmen at the open
ing of the ISth annual conference
of the National Farm. Chemurgic

panded about 40 per cent in 10
years.
"Yet for the last two or three
years farm income has been de
clining," the President said. -
"We need to find ways to use
our increasing abundance so as to
yield a good income for farmers
and at the same time result in a
higher standard of living for all our
people.
"Scientific research is essential
to the attainment of this result and
I hope the chemurgista of this
country will be steadily more and
more successful in their attempts
to put science to work in search for
basic answers to these problems.''
The council's purpose is to find
new uses, through science, for or

Immunity Fer Cc.igrc::.T.:.i
Feces Test In Sen. M'CcrttyV
Lone Exception To Privilcro
ly JAMES MARLOW
WASHINCTON. March 30. (API Senator McCarthy, Wt
consin Republican, has pinned the label "Communist" or "pro
Communist" on a number of people.
Some of them already have bitterly denied his accusations.
And some have told of throats against their livot by entry
people who believed McCarthy's charges.
This question may nave occurred
to you:
"If McCarthy's charges turn out
to be untrue, can't these accused
people sure him for damages? Or
can a member of Congress say any
thing he pleases about anyone and
get away with it?"
McCarthy can't be sued for any
thing he says about these people so
long as be says it on the floor of
Congress or before the subcommit
tee investigating bis charges.
That's because he's protected by
a thing called "congressional im
munity." Every member of Con
gress is protected by that im
munity. Which means:
No member of Congress can be
jailed or sued for anything he says
about anyone so long aa lie says it
on the floor of either House or Sen
ate or before a committee of Con
gress. This immunity from suit or pun
ishment tor members of Congress
is written into the Constitution. The
idea behind that is this: To give
members of Congress the greatest
possible freedom in debating public
questions or taking part in congres
sional hearings or investigations.
But if McCarthy made the same
charges outside Congress say in a
talk on the radio he could be aued.
McCarthy told the Senate last Feb.
20 that he would not hide behind
congressional immunity.
On that day, in a Senate speech,
McCarthy made sweeping chargea
that there are mobs of Communist
or disloyal people in the State de
partment. Promise Recalled
Senator Lucas of Illinois, leader
of the Senate Democrats, got up
and urged McCarthy, since he waa
protected by congressional immun
ity, to name names.
"That's all I want the senator to
do," Lucas said, challenging Mc
Carthy to lay before the Senate all
the information he claimed he had.
McCarthy answered:
"I will not say anything on the
Senate floor which I will not say off
the Senate floor. On the day when
I take advantage of the security we
hsve on the Senate- floor, on that
dav I will resign from the Senate."
McCarthy has made no charges
with one notable exception to be
explained in a moment where he
was not clearly protected by con
gressional immunity.
And this week Haldore Hanson of
the State department McCarthy
Mid Hanson wants to "communize
the world" challenged McCarthy
to make the same accusation in
some place where he can't protect
himself from a damage suit by con

'
gressional Immunity.
Now it remains to bt seen
whether McCarthy will accept
Hansen's challenge.
Wen Ifi t4ov Seet
The one notable exception men
tioned above that ia, the one in
stance where there's a question
whether McCarthy waa protected
by congressional immunity came
about this way:
In his office not on the flour of
the Senate and not before a com
mitteehe told newsmen that one
individual connected with the stat
department was the "top Soviet es
pionage agent in the United States."
And he told the newsmen the
man's name.
Subsequently, this man's nam
was released in the public press.
Then a law firm, consulted by the
accused man's wife, made public a
letter which it sent to McCarthy.
The letter said:
The firm waa giving McCarthy a
chance to retract hi chargea out
it added that, aa a matter of law,
retraction wouldn't save him from
a court suit if the accused man
wishes to take action against him.
It might seem from what's been
said here that a member of Con
gress has no immunity if ho speaka
off the floor of Con grew or outside
a committee. That's not necessarily
so.
A court might rule that anything
a member of Congress say while
inside the walls of Congress and
a congressman's office is inside the
walls carries immunity with it.
Pravda Sees Possibility
Of Extended Peace
MOSCOW, March 30. UP)
The Communist party newspaper
Pravda said Tuesday capitalist
and Communist system could
live together in peace for a long
time. But it added that "if the
imperialists unleash a new war
they will be swept from the fact)
of the earth."
The newspaper said th "war
mongers try to deceive the peopl
with the fabrication that Commu
nists regard eo-existenc of the
two systems impossible."
"The truth of the matter," (aid
Pravda, "ia that the policy of the
Soviet union is based on th fact
of the inevitable eo-existenc of
the two aystems of Capitaliam and
Socialism for a long period of
time."
