Sponsor of the plays Is the Klam ath Falls Business and Profession al Womens Club, Basin Growers Attend Meeting TULELAKK Recommendation for the consideration by federal agencies of the need for a grade classification for Hannchen barley admaged by mould in the Willam ette Vllley during wet weather last fall, were made at a meeting of growers, buyers and shippers last Friday Feb. 19 In Vancouver, Wash. The meeting was held at the Great Western Malt plant. At the present time no such grade is listed on the federal stan dard requirements. Sitting In on the meeting was Dr. Don Hill, of the . agricultural department, Oregon State College. Present from hcrp was Ivan Kan dra, representing Winema Farms ada, Washington, Oregon and New Mexico, has been sending back to headquarters here optimistic re ports of Democratic chances in those states. He will sit down with Democrats from those states to detail his findings. Aides said he is expected to stress what he believes is public opposition in the area to President Eisenhower's flexible farm price support program and the admin istration's reputed opposition to publio power developments. Although Mitchell hasn't been bearing down on the Issue, he has made it clear that the Democratic high command doesn't share views voiced by some Republicans that wixing aoout a recession will bring on one. Some Democrats believe that if a business downturn broadens with the Republicans in power, the minority party's chances will oe increased in the voting next fall on control of Congress. Sen. Douglas (D-Ill). who is run. ning for re-election, hit the issue again yesterday when he wrote Eisenhower urging the President to reconsider his tax proposals "to prevent a recession from deepen, ing into a depression." The Illinois senator ureed the President to get behind a proposal of Sen. George (D-Ga) to boost personal income tax exemptions (200 as a measure of increasing buying power among low-income earners. Democrats give everv indication they are out to become the party of tax reduction, figuring that the average voter gives more atten tion to the taxes he pays than to statements about the government's position. Sen. Gore (D-Tenn) put it into words in a speech before the Kan sas- Democratic Club at Topeka when he said the Republicans bad auopted the "trickle-down theory1 of tax cuts for business and big taxpayers. , . "The Republicans are for tax re lief for the few," he said. "The Democrats support tax relief for all. Tho Democrats are anxious to stimulate our sagging econo- omy." Most Republicans, too, want to cut taxes. But they are caught between the desire to balance the budget and the need of keeping taxes high to accomplish .that re. suit. Sen. Bridges (R-NHl, for ex ample, said in a weekend Inter, view that he favors some down, ward adjustment of taxes but be lieves reductions must be limited in nature. "I don't sec the sense in our cutting appropriations down to the bones and then approving a tax cut which would destroy any hope of balancing the budget,1' he said. Word-has been received that Mrs. Rachel Appiegate . Swan, former Klamath Falls resident, has been hospitalized at the Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara with a broken bone in her foot.

Hill (D-Ala) said Monday Secretary of Agriculture Benson Is "misleading the American people as to the cost" of the present farm price support program. "In his attacks upon the pro gram," Hill said in a statement, "Benson has publicly used multl billion dollar figures but failed to accompany them with sufficient explanation as to what they include. "This has served to create the Impression that the farm price support program has cost 16 times more than it actually has." The Agriculture department some weeks ago said total cost of farm programs amounted to nearly 17 billion dollars in the past 20 years. Hill said this total included rural electrification loans and many other programs not related to price supports.
