O o SIXTEEN M2DF0RD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, November S, 1955 Eieotion Year Seen Harmful To of Long-Range FifiH B m Bum Bill Prompt Return To Rigid Support Program Urged Fresno, Calif. tU.R) Rep. E. F. Sisk (D-Calif.) said today the political atmosphere in 1956, a presidential election year, may make it difficult for Congress to pass a "far-reaching" farm pro gram. Sisk endorsed an immediate "return to the old Democratic program of rigid, 90 per cent of parity price supports on major crops as a "short range means of preventing many thousands of farmers from being forced into bankruptcy." In a statement issued as tfte Senate Agriculture Committee opened another "grass roots" hearing on the hot farm sup port problem here, Sisk added there is "a great need to develop a long range farm program." He said this might include: 1. Supports on a scale starting at 90 per cent of the "fair in come" parity level for top qual ity crops with lower rates for lower grades. 2. Government support for all segments of agriculture in cluding such crops as raisins and poultry which do not now get regular federal price props. Political Year But the fact that politics will be "uppermost in the minds of many legislators" next year may make it difficult to get ac tion on a long range bill, Sisk said. The California Democrat as serted the administration's flex ible price support program can be called a success only "if the purpose of any farm program is to drive many farmers out of business." Today's Senate agriculture hearing was the "seventh in a month-long period that has al ready included visits to the Mid west, the Northern Plains and the Pacific Northwest. Addi tion hearings this week were scheduled Friday at Albu querque, N. M., and Saturday at Fort Worth, Tex. Sisk charged that, flexible supports in the dairy industry had forced some small Cali fornia dairy farmers off their land. But James N. Fulmor, a Dixon, Calif., milk producer, as serted in testimony prepared for the. committee that "No one can accurately state whether the Grade B milk producers of Cal ifornia would favor high, rigid price supports." Grade B milk under Cali fornia marketing regulations, is used for manufacture into but ter, cheese and other dairy prod ucts. Fulmor said the state's producers of Grade A milk, which is sold in fluid form, are "faring better than the Grade B producers." Testimony in earlier hearings on the committee' tour has in dicated the same is true in most other dairy states. Fulmor said the "price tag" of production control would prob ably quickly follow if milk pro ducers were guaranteed high federal supports. "Our cows will keep on giv ing milk for sure. What's to do about the trying situation of many dairy farmers bothers many people in public life, but the cow not at all," he noted. Peron Leaves for New Haven in Nicaragua Asuncion, Paraguay (U.R) Juan D. Peron, the deposed Ar gentine dictator, left his Para guayan exile today by plane for a new haven in the Central Am erican Republic of Nicaragua. Peron left Asuncion National airport at 4:05 a.m., en route to his new place of exile by way of Rio De Janeiro and Belem, Brazil. It was understood Peron plan ned to stay and live in Nicara gua although only this week he denied plans to go there. 9 Editor's ote: The Senate Agricul ture Committee is on a month-long tour of L'.S. farm areas to find out more about ti?e complicated econo mic problems of our farmers.

D. "I wish you'd start a new system fix it so us farmers don't come griping to you all the time." Not Taught Price Young Gordon Klaempkin, a Glencoe, Minn., dairy farmer, blurted: "I went to agricultural school and they taught us pro duction but they never taught us price. The cost of production is up. Farm rent is up. Ma chinery and repairs are up. The young farmers in my area are worried." umati Aspects in 'Grass Roots' Far Pn The Senate Committee, in the second week of its tour, has found most witnesses willing to agree that some additional gov ernment steps are necessary to bolster farm income. But there are a rugged few who still want to make their own way with no federal inter ference or help. There is, for instance, ranch er Don Short of Medora, N. D. For 50 years this calm, sturdy cattleman has lived on his north country spread. "I've seen my father prosper and I've seen him lose cattle. I have been prosperous myself and I've seen the day I didn't know where the money was com ing from," he says. "We opposed price ceilings when people thought beef prices were foo high, and we would be less than fair if we didn't oppose price floors now." Hearings on the committee's trip through , Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas and Oregon have been held in hotel ballrooms, college and civic auditoriums, and once in a small town Na tional Guard armory. At Brook ings, S. D., there was such a draft on the stage Sens. Srjessard L. Holland (D-Fla.) and Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) had to put their overcoats on. There were lighter moments.
