J If Barkley Lashes af Lack of GOP Program Buffalo, N. Y., Apr. 22 1U.P.) Vice-President Alben W. Barkley haroed last night that republi cans have attacked the demo cratic administration for alleged harboring of communists be cause the GOP party is without a concrete issue for the coming campaign. In a 75-minute speech at the Grover Cleveland dinner of the Erie County Democratic organ ization, Barkley declared the Democratic party is battling com munism on all fronts. "If there is anything the demo cratic party is fighting," he said, "it's communism, not only in this country, but among the na tions of Europe and Asia." The vice-president said that the democratic party's progres sive record and advances made to benefit the American people during its regime has left the GOP with no real issue for the 1950 campaign. That is why, he said, the repuDiicans nave coinea recently the slogan Liberty vs. Socialism. CHINESE NOODLES Luncheons and Short Orders Orders to Take Out SUKI VAKI CHOP SUEY CHOW MEIN Phone 3-901 J.

Federal Price Support Medford Girl Winner Dropped on Poultry The department of agriculture has announced there will be no price support program on chick ens, commercial broilers or tur keys produced during 1950, the Oregon State college extension service reminded yesterday. Price support for chickens and turkeys is not mandatory under the provisions of the agricultural act of 1949, the extension serv ice said. In determining whether a price support program shall be undertaken, the secretary of agriculture must consider the perishability of the commodity, tne importance ot the commod ity to agriculture and the na tional economy. The secretary is also supposed to consider the ability of the government to dis pose or stocks acauired through a price support program. The government has had to support prices of chickens and turkeys since 1942 although no purchases of chickens have been made. xurneys nave oeen pur chased twice under the price support program and the govern ment will have to buy still more in July from 1949 crop stored turkeys.
