Says Congress Used as
Sounding Board for Social Plans
Washington, Dec. 16 U.R Rep. Robert F. Rich., R., Pa., ac
cused the administration today of using congress as a "sounding
board for the socialized programs of the fair deal."
He said most witnesses before a house-senate subcommittee
hearing on problems of low-income families have been adminis
tration officials.
All of them, he said.
Brannan Calls for Bold Gov't
Action to Rid Farms of Poverty
Washington, Dec. 18 (U.B Secretary of Agriculture Charles F.
Brannan Thursday called for bold government action to elimin
ate the "rotten fruit" of poverty from our farms.
Brannan said 11 children of migratory farm workers died of
malnutrition last month in California's San Joaquin valley, one
of the world's richest farming
areas.
"Democracy cannot tolerate
this sort of thing," he told a
joint congressional subcommit
tee investigating problems of
low-income farm and city fami
lies. The California tragedy, Bran
nan said, is evidence that the
"shocking" conditions described
a decade ago in John Steinbeck's
novel "Grapes of Wrath" are
still present in the nation today.
Earlier, the subcommittee was
told by a spokesman for the
southern negro that farm me
chanization is creating increased
hardship for unskilled farm la
borers in the south particularly
negroes.
Brannan recommendeda
three-point program of federal
aid for farm groups for whom
price supports do not provide
adequate income insurance:
1. A special "readjustment or
redevelopment" program for
small farms which do not yield
enough to provide adequate in
come. 2. Federal aid to help bread
winners on "inadequate farms"
get full or part time jobs in in
dustry. 3. A program to bring social
security, minimum wage, old
age benefits and other federal
help to hired farm laborers who
are not covered by these pro
grams now; plus help in job
placements, transportation and
educational and health benefits
for migratory farm workers.
Langlie Recall
Petition Filed
Olympia, Wash., Dec. 16 UJ9
A recall petition was on file
today against Governor Arthur
B. Langlie of Washington state.
The recall was initiated by
an organization calling itself the
Trade Union Jobs and Security
Council of Seattle. Alvin R.
Warren, secretary of the recall
committee, said about 400 reg
istered voters signed the peti
tion. A group of 150 who came here
to file the petition wore lapel
buttons with the words, "Recall
Langlie."
Before a recall move against
the governor can reach the stage
of a special election, more than
220,000 registered voters of the
state must sign petitions.
Langlie said he was not dis
turbed by the recall move.
A governor may be recalled
for any one of three violations:
failure to carry out the duties
of his office; overstepping his
authority, and violation of his
oath of office.
The petition charged the gov
ernor with violation of the un
employment compensation,
workmen's compensation, vet
erans preference and state wel
fare laws.
Baby-Killer Gets
14 Year Term
Chicago, Dec. 16 (JP A young
mother was convicted by a crim
inal court jury Wednesday night
of murdering her six-day-old
daughter. She was sentenced to
14 years in prison.
The presiding judge at the
trial of Mrs. Dorothy Skeoch,
22, blamed her parents for their
daughter's act. Mrs. Skeoch had
admitted fatally choking her
baby daughter, Susan Elizabeth,
with a plastic diaper last Aug.
19. Defense attorneys attempted
to prove she was temporarily in
sane at the time of the claying.
After the jury retired to de
liberate, Judge Julius Miner
called her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Chester Lamont of Astoria, Ore.,
to stand before him.
"What I am going to say is
addressed primarily to you, Mrs.
Lamont," Judge Miner told the
couple. "I have been shocked by
the testimony about the treat
ment of your daughter. No one
is more responsible than you for
the fact that she is on trial for
murder.
"If I had treated a child of
mine as you treated yours, I
would not forgive myself for
the rest of my life.
"You're cruel. You're unkind.
You're miserable."
Mrs. Skeoch had testified her
mother had opposed her mar
riage to Thomas Skeoch, 21; had
refused to answer her letters,
and on the day of the baby's
birth, refused to talk to her on
the telephone.

the holidays.
