Stassen Reiterates Demand to Outlaw Reds;
Dewey Tags Food Weapon Against Communism
i PENDLETON, Ore., May 12-W)
America's food production is the
only realistic weapon against
communism. Got. Thomas .
Dewey said tonight.
-In our foreign relations we
Wist use food as a positive force
for peace." be said in an address
delivered in this eastern Oregon
'cattle and wheat center.
As he spoke, his rival for Ore
gon's republican presidential pref
. erence Harold X. Stassen was
across state in Portland Initiating
his final campaign drive before
the May 21 election.
Food as a weapon for peace,
Dewey said, "is certainly on a par
with guns and ships and airplanes.
So far as the arerage citizen
abroad is concerned, it ts ever so
much more important."
"The battle against communism
is going to be a long, tough one,"
he continued. "It is not going to
be over in a few months or a few
years. Communism has its best
chance with people who are hun
gry, poorly clothed and ill-housed.
-We here in America may as
well recognize this basic fact, and
we may as well plan to use our
food production against commun
lim No other course is realistic."
The governor's laryngitis and
severe head cold continued bother
some today, but he planned no
change in his schedule which is
0 carry him through Columbia
rn er towns and a stop tomorrow
night at Hood River.

Police, thinking the calf had

Billion Dollar
Farm Bill on
Senate Floor
WASHINGTON, May 12 VP)
A bill carrying $1.12,57,405
various federal agricultural pro
grams during the next fiscal year
reached the senate lata today
from its appropriations commit
tee. The measure carries 1580.270,
278 in new cash or 134.730,823
more than voted by the house.
It is distinct from another
measure approved by the senate
agriculture committee to set up a
permanent system of government
supports for farm prices.
Outside the new cash from the
treasury, the recommended funds
include $63,000,000 for the school
lunch program. $400,000,000 of
loan authorization for the rural
electrification administration and
$81,327,127 of so-called perma
nent appropriations.
The loan authority does not in
volve actual appropriation of
money. The other items such as
school lunches come from 30 per
cent of the nation's customs re
ceipts earmarked for the purpose.
The committee defeated 9 to 4
an attempt by Senator Russell
(D-Ga) to add $75,000,000 to the
$225,000,000 fund voted by the
house for the soil conservation
payments to farmers cooperating
with administration programs,
Despite the increase of more
than $34,000,000 from house fig
ures, the senate committee said
its new cash total still is $56,
000.000 or nearly 0 per cent be
low budget estimates and $52,000,
000 cr 8 per cent less than actual
appropriations for the present fis
cal year.
Another major increase was
$15,000,000 for production and
subsistence loans to farmers who
are veterans.

Parity Plan
WASHINGTON. May 12-0P)-A
new permanent program for gov
ernment support of farm prices
was approved 8 to 0 by the sen
ate agriculture committee today.
The committee thus jumped in
ahead of President Truman who
is planning a farm message to
congress this week.
Senator Aiken (R-Vt.), princi
pal author of the bill, said he ex
pects congress to pass it before
the summer recess.
The bill is designed to provide
for government support of the
prices of basic agricultural com
modities at 75 per cent of parity
when there is a normal supply.
The support price would range
from 60 to 90 per cent of parity
as the supply of any commodity
varied from 130 to 70 per cent
of normal.

Cartoon - News '
PORTLAND. Ore., May
Harold E. Stassen demanded here
again tonight that communist or
ganizations be outlawed "in
America and all freedom loving
countries."
In a campaign' speech before
less than 1.500 people at the ice
arena, the republican presidential
aspirant insisted that the best
hope of . a future peace and of
freedom rests in such action.
The speech was advertised as a
debate, and the subject was that
selected by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey of New York when he
agreed to appear on the same
platform with the former Minne
sota governor. But at that me-
ment Dewey was speaking half
way across the state in Pendleton,
and the date for the appearance
had not been set
Stassen had advanced many of
the same arguments in a Portland
speech April 28 when he opened
bis Oregon primary campaign.
"I realize full well." he said,
that there are those who disagree
with men in this position. Presi
dent Truman, Governor Dewey
and Henry Wallace all continue
to believe that the blessings of
legality should be extended to
the communist organizations. I
am certain that Governor Dewey
is sincere in his position, but I
submit that he is mistaken. This
soft policy of coddling communist
organizations with legality has
three serious objections:
"First, it increases the ease
with which communism spreads.
Leads to Miscalculation
"Second, it leads to a miscalcu
lation in the Kremlin of the
strength of their own infiltration
and might cause them to make
bold moves toward war.
'Third, America's soft policy
toward communism causes other
free nations to do the same, with
serious results, such as in Bogo
ta, Colombia, and in the Balkans,
and gives rise to unfortunate
weaknesses in our occupation in
Germany and Japan."
In Governor Dewey's own state,
New York, he insisted, 40 per
cent of the communists in Amer
ica live and work under direction
of leaders trained in Moscow.
New York Underground
From 15 main offices in New
York City, he said, an extensive
underground organization ope
rates, and this has been the prin
cipal source of infiltration into
the labor organizations of this
country.
"I have always made it clear
that I do not propose that the
individual liberties of free speech
and free press and free conscience
should be abridged. These must
always be present in America.
But the constitution does not in
clude the right to conduct or
ganizations under the direction of
a foreign power for the purpose
of destroyhTg the liberties of men.
. . . I have also made it clear
that I do not propose to outlaw
ideas or thoughts, but I do pro
pose that we stop coddling and
nourishing organizations that are
a threat to peace."
