Angry French Farmers Halt
Traffic, Give Away Spuds
Paris U.R) Thousands of angry farmers blocked highways
across the nation with carts and tractors Saturday in protest
against low farm prices and the drive against alcoholism by ousted
Premier Pierre Mendes-France.
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."

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."
