It was the grand "day of protests" for the wine-drinking pea sants who have been demonstrating with growing anger against the Mendes-France anti-alcoholic campaign and the prices they are getting for farm products. They lined up 200 tractors in the famed cathedral town of Chartres and began giving away sacks of potatoes rather' than sell them at what they consider too small a profit. Farmers blocked roads with long lines of creaking vehicles in at least 10 departments of France and passed out anti-government literature and waved placards crying "milk misery!" The demonstrations were organized by the National Federa tion of Agricultural Growers which will hold a national congress in Paris next Tuesday and Wednesday. Many, farmers Saturday carried bottles of wine from which they drank regularly and flourished a bottle of milk reading: "Reserved for President Mendes-France." Sunday, February 13, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Auto Production Too High, Union President States Beverly Hills, Calif. U.R) The president of the AFL Unit ed Automobile Workers of Am erica warned here Saturday that automobile manufacturers should "apply the brakes" to the new-car market or face an "economic disaster." Earl Heaton said 5000 auto dealers went out of business in the past 22months, with nearly 600 failing because they were overstocked. Heaton contradicted the op inion of Dr. Arthur F. Burns, adviser to President Eisenhow er, who has called for an ex pansion of the new car market. "This statement, in, the face of : facts and figures, indicated the ostrich-like attitude the Eis enhower administration is tak ing in viewing the overall econ nomic picture today," Heaton said. "If automotive manufactur ers are taking their overstock ing plans on the basis of state ments like those of Dr. Burns, they're in for a rough awakening." Boy Scouts Pack 4, Den 3 The West Side School Cub Scouts, Den 3, have' reorgan ized and have joined the Pack 4 group at Oak Grove school.
