Church Confession
Implicates Laborer
TOPEKA, Kan. (U.R) A
second person implicated in a
four-year-old Kansas bank rob'
bery by a young gunman who
confessed his pari in the crime
from a pulpit Sunday was to be
charged in connection with the
holdup Tuesday.
David Williams, a 52-year-old
itinerant farm laborer, admitted
after 36 hours of questioning to
being the "brains" behind the
robbery which 23-year-old Al
Johnson confessed from a Topeka
church pulpit.
But it appeared that neither
Williams nor Johnson would
serve time for the May 19, 1948,
robbery of the Hoyt, Kan., State
Bank, an offense which carries a
10 to SO-year sentence on convic
tion. The Kansas statute of limita
tions provides that no person shall
be sentenced for a crime other
than murder or treason after two
years, unless the accused man has
fled the state.
The four-year old bank robbery
case first broke last week when
the Rev. Howard Brumme, pastor
of the Seward Avenue Baptist
Church in Topeka, announced
that an unidentified member of
hi? congregation wanted "to get
right with God and man" and
would confess his part in the
$1,000 robbery from the pulpit.
A few hours before his public
confession was planned, however,
Johnson was identified to officers.
He was taken to Holton, Kan.,
charged with bank robbery and
arraigned and released on $5,000
bond to keep his scheduled Sun
day speaking date at the church.
He implicated Williams.

Farm Boom Appears Ended
By J. A. UVINGSTO"
DENVER, enroute to San Fran
cisco, May 5 An easterner, going
west into the grain and livestock
areas of the country, quickly dis
covers a new reluctant attitude
toward inflation.
Yes, the postwar Inflation has
caused price spurts part of the
time. But farm costs have crept up
nearly all the time. That's what's
bothering farmers now and may
bother politicians in November.
Farmers have had their boom.
Wheat, corn, cotton, hogs, steers,
and most other products the farm
er sells are below their peaks. The
great postwar pressure for farm
products has subsided. European
farms are producing at prewar
levels or better.
THEREFORE, American farm
ers are beginning to fear that pric
es are in a downtrend. Here is
what has happened, in primary
markets, to five important com'
modifies. Note that all but steers
gee, aren't we getting to be beef
eaters?! are well below postwar
highs:

Today the prices farmers
ceive are down about six per cent
from a year ago. On the other
hand, taxes, labor costs and the
prices of what the farmer buys
are up six per cent. The farm
parity ration is back to 100. That
farm costs and farm prices are
in the same relation to one an
other as in 1910-14.
The recent freight rate increase
is aheadache. It adds to the price
of machinery, baling wire, ferti
lizer, prepared feeds, fencing
anything he buys. That means in
creased production outlays. At
the same time, it adds to the cost
of moving steers, hogs, grain, cot
ton to market. The farmer will
have to absorb this cost, since
demand is not expanding. A rise
steel prices or wages would
mean more of the same.
THE FARMER IS squeezed like
any business man whose market
is not expanding while costs are
increasing. Farming today is a
business rather. than a way of life,
a pastoral mode. The farm popu
lation is declining (see chart).
But the individual farmer is
working more land the conse
quence of mechanization. And, as
j a corollary, farm out-of-pocket
expenses are as rigidified as ever.
The farm used to be mortgaged.
iNow it's the machinery, which
must be financed and maintained.
In the fore part of the century,
a horse pulled the. plow and the
hired man milked the cow. The
horse was fed on farm-grown hay,
the hired man on products raised
on the farm. But, increasingly,
farms are being modernized. A
tractor pulls the plow, a giant
combine harvests the grain, a
machine milks the cow. The fuel
and the replacement parts for this
equipment are cash items. And
labor costs are up.
The increasing investment in
machinery becomes a driving
force. The farmer tills his best
acreage intensively. Fertilizer in
put has more than doubled since
29, and this year will reach an
all-time peak, volume-and dollar
wise. About one out of every six
dollars a farmer takes in goes for
machinery and fertilizer. Back in
1919, it was only one dollar in
ten.
FARM INCOME from market
ings so far this year is about 5
per cent higher than last year. But
for the year as a whole, farmers
will be lucky if they gross as
much as in 1951. Prices are not
apt to average out as high as last
year. But costs will be up and,
therefore, net will be down,
j The postwar turning point for
the farmer was 1947. Net operat
ing income reached an all-time
ihigh of $17,100,000,000. The next
i year, gross receipts rose slightly
but expenses were up a good deal
more. Ana last year, even though
gross receipts reached an all-time
high 9 per cent above 1947 net
was down 13 per cent. Here's the
story in millions of dollars:
(000,000) omitted:
FEWER FARMERS. MORE INCOME
But now net earnings are down from 1947

Big Packet of Mail
Ready for Uncle Joe
WASHINGTON JP) Grand
ma Buffalari hit town Sunday
with her bag of mail for Stalin.
She was supposed to jingle
jangle into the nation's capital
astradle old Bing, her 13 year
old pony. She jingle-jangled, all
right, with some of the biggest
and shiniest spurs seen in these
here parts, but she jingle
jangled aboard an automobile.
Bing did too.
Said Grandma Buffalari: "If
I look like I feel, I sure do
look like H."
Grandma is formally known
as Mrs. Frances Buffalari, of
Norfolk, Va. And Norfolk was
where she was 16 days ago, and
230 saddle-sore mile back.
That's where she started out
with her bag of mail for Stalin.
Or possibly, against Stalin.
For it's mail from friends in
Norfolk addressed to the Voice
of America. Her friends wrote
to the Voice to broadcast to
Stalin to let down the bars that
keep information out of the
countries behind the Iron Cur
tain. She and Bing were dramatiz
ing their plea by bringing the
mail to the Voice by the old
fashioned pony express method.
But when she got within 11
miles of Washington, "the closer
I got, the worse the traffic got,"
and so she got a van for Bing,
and a car for herself.
"It was too hard on Bing,"
she said. "There were many
times we both wanted to drop."
Mrs. Buffalari said she plans
to trot up to the White House,
as well as the State Department,
Monday morning. She doesn't
know who she is going to see at
either place, but she's going.
That will be after appearing
on a television program, she
added.
Grandma Buffalari said she

Back hi the early dayi of the
Office of Price Stabilization, Mi
chael V. DiSalle tried to sell
farmers on how stabilization
would help them. But when farm
prices were rising faster than
production costs, farmers listened
and went about their business.
Now that farm prices no longer
are rising and costs are, Ellis Ar
nall can make out a more per
suasive case. In short, the farmer
no longer is on the inflation band
wagon. Hii prosperity It being
squeezed.

Constipation
Discovery
A new compound recently
developed by science, BIO
LIN, appears to be the an
swer to the age-old problem
of constipation, colitis, gall
bladder and other bowel con
ditions. This amazing dis
covery gives relief never
before imagined by acting on
the liver to increase flow of
bile, assisting in digestion of
fats and producing gentle,
free movements, helping to
prevent types of intestinal
fermentation (gas) and con
stipation. Biolin tablets are
