Brannan Plan
(Continued from Page 1)
Aiken, chairman or the senate
agriculture committee in the republican-controlled
80th con
gress, said he expects the basic
features of a farm bill be au
thored last year, including a
flexible price support program,
to be retained.
2. In the house a coalition of
democrats and republicans op
posing the Brannan plan reject
ed a compromise proposed by
hard pressed sponsors of the ad
ministration bill. The proposed
compromise would limit the tri
al run specifically to potatoes,
eggs and shorn wool.
Thus the compromise offered
by the administration support
ers in the house coincides wi'4
the senate subcommittee's action
in barring use of production pay
ments on hogs.
The Brannan program would
let the prices of perishable farm
products fall to the natural level
on the market. Farmers would
get government checks paid
for by taxes for the difference
In those prices and what the
government considers a fair
price.
The trial run with hogs was
proposed as a compromise ex
eriment to find out how the
plan would work in practice.
Chairman Gillette (D la.) of
the senate subcommittee told
reporters after the group's meet
ing: "I was directed to draft a re
port to the full committee re
turning the bill without recom
mendation. 1
. "In effect, the exigencies on
the hog situation seems to have
passed. It seemed to us that a
trial run on one or more farm
products would not be best."

friend of Arbenz, was fired as

There, Dutro was found un
conscious, with three gas jets
wide open. The telephone was
still off the hook, and windows
and doors were closed.
The brother-in-law, William
A. Sauers, opened windows and
doors while the first aid crew
was summoned. Dutro was
taken to a Salem hospital, and
given oxygen in a successful at
tempt to revive him.
Dutro was reported recover
ing Tuesday.

Hospital donations as an in
vestment rather than a gift was
the idea Charles A. Sprague
urged the campaigners to carry
to the people. Sprague headed a
committee last year that made
investigations and reported fin
dings that led to the program
now in progress.
Salem has needed at least 200
more hospital beds than it has
for the last two years Dr. M. K.
Crothers said. He spoke from
the point of view of the doctors
who are giving generous sup
port to the program. Dr. Croth
ers said that by accepted hospi
tal standards a building is con
sidered overcrowed if 75 or 80
percent of its beds are filled as
an average. In Salem, .he said,
the average is 90 percent.
E. T. Franklin, director of the
campaign, asked each worker
to make $400 his minimum ob
jective. fledges, he said, are

The co-chairmen of the women's
division, Mrs. Ralph E. Moody
and Mrs. Chandler Brown, and
the men's division chairmen,
Charles Edwards and Coburn
Grabenhorst, were introduced.
The corps of workers, includ
ing leaders, numbers about 300
persons, most of whom attended
the dinner.
Justice Dies

Murphy said that if the peo
ple of Michigan wanted their
governor "to shoot the workers
out of the factories and thus
end sit-down strikes once and
for all," they would have to
get another governor to do it.
"If the American workingmen
are wrong," he declared, "I be
lieve they can be taught the
right way without writing the
lesson in blood." (He said later
that he believed sitdown strikes
were wrong).
During the strike crisis Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt de
scribed him as "a profoundly
religious, able and law-abiding
governor."
Governor Murphy was defeat
ed for re-election. The defeat
hurt him, for he felt he had
done a good job in pioneering
state reforms. Among other
things, he had put into effect
the state's first civil service law
and had overhauled the penal
and corrections system.
Dr. Miller Hearing
Dale to Be Set
The state civil service com
mission will meet here Friday to
decide on a date for a hearing
for Dr. Horace G. Miller, dis
missed Oregon State hospital
psychiatrist.
Dr. Miller, who was fired July
6 for insubordination, asked the
commission to review his case.
