(AP Wirephoto) Southwest Cattle, Wheat Men for High Supports By BARNEY LIVINGSTONE ENID, Okla. Southwestern wheat and cattle growers, in an initial sampling of opinion, have registered a one-sided rejection of President Eisenhower's proposal to abandon rigid high-level farm price supports. Of more than 50 farm spokes men to appear Tuesday before touring members of the House Ag riculture Committee, not one spoke in favor of the President's plan of flexible supports. This included representatives of all major Oklahoma farm organi zations. As the committee headed for Waco. Tex., Wednesday for further sampling of sentiment in the wheat Li1 cattle country, committee f Democrats predicted the Presi dent's plan of flexible farm price props was doomed in Congress. "President Eisenhower made a fatal error in asking for a sliding scale of price supports in this area." stated Rep. Albert (D Oklai. "He can't sell it to farmers in the cotton, wheat and peanut growing country." Cotton, wheat and peanuts are three of the "big six" basic com- moriilin now supported by the ity. The others are rice, tobacco and corn. While Republican members con tinued to be non-commital, Chair man Hope (R-Kan) said the farm 1 ' c support issue appeared to be a matter of "details rather than principles." Other GOP committee members indicated that they regarded the political timing of Eisenhower's program with elections coming up next fall, as one of the "details."

Save for the Farmers Union, farm groups also opposed direct supports of price guarantees on cattle. Farmers Union witnesses urged 90 per cent supports on cat tle and other perishables as well. A number of individual wit nesses, some of whom traveled all me oi wnom traveled ail from Kansas and Texasl the way to have their say, lent colorful emphasis in their dissatisfaction with anv rhange in the present farm program. One was Pat Hamilton, of Fargo, Okla., a weathered cattleman whose trousers were stuffed into high boots and whose white hair was put in a braid at the back ef his head. "I went broke under Coolidge, under Hoover in 1929 and I'm damned if I want to go broke un der Eisenhower," he rumbled. Bill Lance, a wheat grower from Perryton. Tex., told the commit tee that "in Texas we'd liki to be rugged individualists but we wouldn't like to be ragged indi vidualists." Niles Gibson, who said he farms 400 acres in McPherson County, Kan., declared: "We farmers voted for Eisen hower because he said in several of his campaign speeches that we farmers were entitled to full parity- "The Eisenhower program for the sliding scale is the same as no program at all. Consequently we farmers do not want a farm program if that is the best you can do." ;lQ. . . . a imciacii h m. m ncmncotoi .

Chairman Kelly McKeehan revealed. If the proposed ordinance had received approval of the retail division it would have been pre sented to the Albany city coun cil for passage. But following the group's meeting at the A bany hotel McKeehan said a let ter would be written to City Manager C R. Reiter urging that the council not consider passage of the peddlers' ordinance. However, the retail division, voicing the belief that a suitable ordinance can be devised, ap pointed a committee to study the matter further and to attempt to "find or develop an ordinance" which would regulate or elimi. nate "unethical or Illegitimate peddlers' or solicitors activities.'
