has increased seasonably, the
Oregon State college extension
service reported yesterday; with
values of dehydrated meal drop
ping some at most markets.
The extension service said old
crop suncured alfalfa meal is un

Bring Demo Comment
Washington. May 27 (U.R)
Democratic National Chairman
William M. Boyle Jr., today be
littled the liberalism claims of
Gov. James H. Duff of Pennsyl
vania and Sen. Wayne Morse
(R.. Ore.).
In his weekly letter to party
workers, Boyle noted the recent
primary victories of Duff and
Morse, in which both men ran
as "liberals" against "conserva
tives.
"If Duff and Morse really be
lieved in the kind of liberalism
the majority of the people voted
for in 1948, he said, "they would
be democrats not republicans."
As lor Morse, Boyle said, the
senator "has campaigned for
many reactionary republicans
and despite his self-proclaimed
tnencisnip tor laoor unions, he
is supporting Senator (Robert A.)
Taft in the Ohio senatorial cam
paign." 'Upside Down Corpse'
