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

Democrat' Senator
Accuses Benson
WASHINGTON Ifl Sen. 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.
