O. JOHNSON, Dlrtrld IMS AecbftM Aide Heads Price Plan By OVID A. MARTIN WASHINGTON I Present controversial farm, price support and crop control programs were turned over1 . Wednesday to a new government official who has de nounced them as measures de signed to "soclaize agriculture." These programs have strong backing In Congress, in both Re publican and Democratic parties. The new official is James A. Mc Connell, a New York State farm leader named last Friday by Sec retary Benson to be administrator of the Agriculture Department's Commodity Stabilization Service. He succeeds Howard H. Gordon, a North Carolinian who resigned over , policy differences. McConnell, a former official of the Grange League Federation Ex change, a big farm marketing or ganization with headquarters at Ithaca, N. Y., moved into his new office Tuesday and arranged to iane over tun control Wednesday. The new administrator outlined his philosophy on government farm programs in a speech at Syracuse, N. Y., last Nov. 30. In that speech, McConnell said the present wheat program "is one of the best examples of modern socialism we have in this country." The wheat program, featuring production controls and high level price supports, was approved by more than 80 per cent of the wheat growers voting In a referendum last summer. Benson has attacked present farm programs largely on the ground that they tend to price crops out of markets and create surpluses. In his Syracuse speech, McCon nell said wheat and cotton grow ers really do not want the present high supports extended despite some claims to the contrary, and he added; , . - "They, are largely Innocent dupes be'ng manipulated by very clever professional socialists." : Union Leader Urges Action VANCOUVER, B.C. tfl Organ ized labor in both the United States and Canada Is entering a jear oi aesiiny, ai tiartung, in ternational president of the Inter national Woodworkers of America (CIO-CCL), said here Tuesday. Speaking before the nth annual convention of the B.C. district of the IWA, Hartung, of Portland, said the union must adopt a firm course of political action. Results of the November Senate and congressional elections in the U.S. would have far-reaching ef fects in Canada as well as the U.S., he said. If the "reactionary" forces are not defeated in November, "you haven't seen -anything yet of what they'll do to crucify labor." Hartung said the IWA needs a strike fund now and will need one "more and more." He said it was the responsibility of the mem bership to set a fund up and he hoped such notion would be taken at the next international conven tion "to see that the bosses don't win their battles because of star vation." The president disclosed that the IWA is now engaged in a program of buying stock in big lumbering companies In the U.S. Northwest and B.C. so union negotiating committees could get complete fi nancial reports sent to stockhold ers.

Aiken (R-Vt) said Wednesday some Dem ocratic senators are playing poli tics with the decision of Secretary of Agriculture Benson to lower government butter price supports jon April 1. "Apparently some ot my Demo cratic colleagues are , running scared the way they get up and froth at the mouth," Aiken said In an interview. He is chairman of Ihc Senate Agriculture Committee. Half a dozen Democratic sen ators, headed by Sen. Humphrey (Minn), used the butter price re duction as a basis for slashing at tacks in the Senate Tuesday on Ben son and farm proposals of Presi dent Eisenhower. Benson announced Monday .that the government price support would drop from about 66 to 58 cents a pound, or from 90 per cent of parity to 75 per cent. Parity is a price standard designed to give farmers a fair return In relation to the prices they must pay. Humphrey told the Senate this would be "a death blow" to the dairy industry and added that an administration "that can't figure out what to do with too much food, certainly never will be able to bal ance a budget."
