PAGE SIXTEEN IlERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY, DEC. Jl. 1149 Farmer in Middle As Brannan Plan Battled B OVID A. MARTIN . Fan Reporter WASHINGTON, Dec 31 1-The fanneranxious oyer future price and crop adjustment problem to day find himself caught in the middle of a bitter struggle. The conflict U between top-rank-Inff government offlclali and power ful farm organisations, and lnrolve two lawea: 1) future government farm program, and J the question of who speak for the farmer. Foe On the one aide la Secretary of Agriculture Brannan. with strong admlnUtratlon support, and on the other are such farm organisation! a the American Farm Bureau fed eration and the National grange. Only one major farm organisation al National Farmers' union Is backing the secretary. A fourth the National Council of Farmer Co operatives Is expected to take aides against him at It January convention. The battle may have far-reach-tng consequence for agriculture, be cause of the possibility that it may Interfere with future congressional farm legislation. ' This situation 1 In sharp con trast to the relatively peaceful re lations existing between government labor officials and labor organiza tions. In general, both have the same idea as to government policie toward organised labor. Caught In the middle along with farmer Is congress. Naturally anx ious to pass legislation desired by farmers, the lawmaker will be at a loss as to which side to listen to Brannan or the farm organizations which oppose him. A baslo difference between the secretary and his foes 1 the so- (NEA TtUvkMo) CONFESSES - Bob 8tert Cox. 41 (above), walked into the Los Angeles sberltrs office, and lor the second time In a year, con fessed to the Black Dahlia slaying. Cox, an anordained minister, was turned over to the Homicide VI- 0 said be would be 1 sirrlon of murder. called Brannan farm program. In general, the Brannan plan would support farm prices at higher levels than would the farm groups that oppose him. But. the plan would permit lower consumer price for perishable than would the farm groups. The secretary would use govern ment payment to achieve the dual and apparent conflicting goals of high farm return and low food prices. Opposing farm groups argue that the farmer I entitled to hi full return at the market place. Both the Farm Bureau federation and the National grange adopted strong resolution against the Bran nan plan at recent conventions. Dif ference In view played a part In decision of farm bureau officials not to invite Brannan to It meeting. The action brought a charge from Brannan that the organization was -undemocratic." The federation re torted that farmers did not need s federal appointee to tell them what to do. Who's Bight? Perhaps a Important a differ ence over the farm policie In the struggle 1 the question of who ha the right to speak for farmers on problems involving their welfare. Farm bureau officials have charged that the administration Is attempting to set up the agriculture department's farmer-commltteemen system a a competitor organisation U- the private farm organizations. This system was established In the early New Deal daya to help ad minister farm programs. Brannan and hi predecessors have encouraged the farmer-com-nutteemen to pass on to them Ideas and desires of farmers. Each year the committeemen hold an annual meeting similar to those of the farm organizations to discuss prob lems. At the moment, the Brannan foes appear to have the better of the situation. In power is s congress which at its last session turned thumb down on the Brannan plan and passed legislation more In line with views of his opponents. In Congress The struggle Is most likely to bob up at the coming session of con gress. But ft may not come to a final head until next year" con gressional election, or perhaps not until after the presidential election of 1951 President Truman hss In dicated he will seek eventual elec tion of s congress committee to the Brannan proposals. In the meantime, there la likely to be plenty of debate over declining farm prices and responsibility for such declines. Brannan has made clear that if prices drop to levels which bring sharp farm complaints, he will at tempt to pin blame on the opposing farm organization. On the other hand, his critics would try to put responsibility on him on the ground that be did not do s good enough Job administratively. Want Ads don cost they pay!
