Ex-Sec. Brannan Criticizes
Administration's Farm Plan
PENDLETON i The present 1
national administration is running
the arm program at too high a
eost and with too little service,
Charles F. Brannan, former secre
tary of Agriculture, said here in
an interview preceding opening
Tuesday of a Farm Development
Conference.
Moreover, he said, it either
ought to administer the law the
way Congress intended, or it ought
to get out.
"If they don't get out, the people
ought to throw them out," h
added. He did not expand on how
he felt the administration was not
following the intent of the law.
. It is the obligation of govern
ment, Brannan said, to provide a
reasonably diligent farmer with a
fair price. This can be done, he
said, at a reasonable cost.
He said that while secretary
under President Truman from 1948
to 1953, he reduced the depart
ment's budget 20 per cent without
cutting services. Ezra Taft Ben
son, present secretary, has raised
the budget 20 per cent, he said,
and the department now is "ren
dering less service and costs
more." 0
Brannan is one of three principal
speakers at the conference, one of
a series set up by the National
Farmers Union. Others include Ed
Dodd, who moved from ranching
at Haines, Ore., to head of the
Food and Agriculture Organiza
tion of the' United Nations, and
Dr. A. L. Strand, president of
Oregon State College.
Purpose of the meetir is to
develop ideas on a legislative pro
gram to aid farmers.
Brannan in his interview said
that, while the agricultural income
has declined 23 per cent in the
past six years, some other parts
of the economy have made gains.
This, he said, has been despite
the fact farm efficiency has gained
17 per cent in that time, compared
with an 11 per cent increase in
non-farm efficiency.

Robert Jof frey's
Theatre Ballet
Slated Thursday
A fast rise to top rank has been
achieved by Robert Joffrey, chore
ographer - producer of The Robert
Joffrey Theatre Ballet, to be seen
here Thursday at 8:15 p.m. in the
Senior High School auditorium un
der Roseburg Community Concert
Assn. sponsorship.
While still a teen-ager, Joffrey
left his home city of Seattle to
brave Broadway. Immediately he
landed roles as partner to Jean
maire and Colette Marchand in
Roland Petit's Ballets de Paris,
the French company. Next year
Joffrey was back as modern dance
soloist in May O Donnell s com
pany in the 'American Dance'
season.
Although dance stardom was in
easy reach, Joffrey hung up his
dancing shoes in favor of chore'
ography. Usually, such dance com
panies need thousands of dollars
but young Joffrey launched his
group with earnings from teach
ing at his own school at Ballet
Theatre School and at the New
York City School of Performing
Arts. His first productions won
such enthusiastic, notices that in
1954 and 1955 the all - Joffrey bal
let evenings in New York were
solidly sold out in advance.
Since then there has been a big
demand for his services. Seattle
summoned him for three seasons
to choreograph giant summer mu
sicals' he has staged two elegant
"April in Paris" ' balls at the
Waldorf-Astoria; in 1955, the Na
tional Broadcasting Co. commis
sioned him to choreograph its
Lukas Foss opera fantasy, Grif
felkin," and twice called him back
for "La Traviata," both for TV
and for the touring company. He
has also had such diverse assign
ments is the choreography for a
TV extravaganza on baseball,
with Gene Nelson and Nanetie
Fabray, and for Stella Adler's
Carnegie Playhouse production of
Kurt Weill's "Johnny Johnson."
He has just concluded work on the
fall season of the New York City
Opera, for whom he choreograph
ed ballets for eight opera produc
tions Joffrey, still in his mid-twenties,
was the first American ever in
vited by Ballet Rambert to chore
ograph for that distinguished Brit
ish company. Both Ballet Rambert
and The American Ballet Theatre
include Joffrey's "Pas des De'
esses" as a regular part of their
repertoire.
Shortage Of Gas
Closes Schools,
Many Industries
ATLANTA I A shortage of
natural gas caused hundreds of
schools and industries to close in
Georgia Tuesday during one of
the bitterest cold spells ever to
hit the state.
Temperatures dropped to zero
in the North Georgia mountains
and five degrees in Atlanta.
All gas heated public schools in
the Atlanta area were shut down
because of the gas shortage. The
Atlanta Gas Light Co. requested
the closing in order to supply gas
to homes.
Schools were closed in 20 coun
ties. An Atlanta Gas Light Co. spokes
man said the company had cut
off gas to 775 regular "large
customers." including such indus
tries as the Ford assembly plant
and General Motors.
Hospital, private consumers
and industries such as dairies
which rely sotely on gas heat were
not affected, the spokesman said.
The gas company serves 58
communities in 29 counties.
