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.

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.
