An Able Editor Retires
Newspaper editors received with regret the announce
ment of the retirement, because of long illnss, of Claude E.
Ingalls as publisher and editor of the 88-year-old Corvallis
Gazette-Time3, to be succeeded by his son, Robert C. In
galls, who has had an extended experience in journalism.
At the same time news editor Myron I. Myers retired to be
succeeded by his son, Bruce K. Myers, who has been sports
editor and assistant news editor. Both young men are
World War II veterans.
Claude Ingalls first came to the Gazette Times in 1915
and attained .1 national reputation for his virile and schol
arly editorials and staunch republicanism. He always
had the courage of his convictions and championed the
risrht as it was given him to see it. He never failed to

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
GOP-Dixiecrat Coalition
Killed Civil Rights Program
By DREW PEARSON
Washington It seems a far cry from the civil rights issue
in the south to the public power question in Montana, but the
story has just leaked out as to how a coalition of republicans
and dixiecrats killed the civil rights program in the senate
a year ago.
The deal was engineered by southern senators to be absent

GOP maneuverings between
elections help to lose elections

Brannan s own solution was to continue paying tne Donus This devout, reverent
support prices and selling price to the producers at taxpay
ers' expense. That idea was borrowed frpm socialist
Britain to keep the people voting for socialism while Ameri
can loans paid the losses. Congress rejected the scheme
as a little too raw.
So Brannan has made his own solution. He has directed
that the 50 million bushels of surplus potatoes from the
1949 crop be disposed of where it was grown. So the spuds
for which the government paid $2.10 will be sold back to
the farmers that grew them at one cent per 100 pounds
for disposition on their farms.
Brannan said the farmers can freeze or air dry the pota
toes for ultimate use as livestock feed; or can dispose of
them as fertilizer or in other ways when more practicable.
The potatoes will be dyed to insure that they are disposed
of as provided and not moved in the normal channels of KRISS-KROSS
dtstriDiitlon.
Brannan made his announcement as the senate debated
the potato question. Majority Leader Lucas (D., 111.) told
the senate he favors immediate removal of all government
price supports for potatoes. He said the multi-million
dollar losses on government price props for potatoes the
past two years give a "very dark eye to the entire farm
program of the nation," and at present there are "no con
trols watsoever" upon planting or marketing of potatoes.
No wonder the national deficit under Mr. Truman's ad
ministration is ?257 billion and going into the red at the
rate of $5 billion or more a year.
