0'Mahoney Dep|ores
Peasant Class Trend
In Farm Bill Debate
Attacks La Toilette Plan
To Provide More Funds
For Food Stamps
BY j. A. OLEARY.

This country seems to be heading
straight toward the creation of a
peasant class" Senator OMahoney,
Democrat, of Wyoming told the
Senate today as it debated the La
Toilette amendment to the farm bill,
to enlarge the stamp plan by which
surplus commodities are made avail
able to the needy population
After the Senate had approved,
- late yesterday. s2120O0,000 for farm
parity payments by a 63-to-l9 vote,
Senator La Fallette, Wisconsin Pro-
gressive, moved to increase from
$S5 900, 900 to $113,O0O,OOO the sur
plus commodity item, in order that
more cities may join in the stamp
~plan
Recalling testimony that 14.000000
eligible for the stamp plan, Senator
O'Mahoney called it IAN appalling
Indictment" of the present economic
situation.
II am convinced he said. that
1t cannot be solved merely by in
creasing appropriations. We must
60 to the root of the problem by
enabling them to find jobs at real
- wages, so as to buy the products
of the farm"
Not Regarded as Solution.
Senator La Toilette said that "Of
course. do not regard the stamp
plan as permanent solution, but
it is the only device at hand and
has been tried on broad enough
scale to show it is effective in keep
ing farm prices from going down to
disastrously low levels"
Senator La Toilette read statistics
showing a large percentage OF
4 American families in the low-in-
come brackets and described this
group as a great potential market
for products that cannot be ex-
ported.
Senator OMahoney explained
=, that under the surplus disposal
plan a person who buys stamps for
25 cents each receives a third one
having the same value.
The two stamps that are bought

the grocery stores. The free stamp
must be used for some one of the
surplus products.
Final passage of the S923,OOO 900
farm supply bill was expected late
today.
Nearly Offsets Other Economies.
The parity payment and surplus
commodity items wipe out most of
the S300,000,000 that had been saved
since January on other appropria-
tion bills in the effort to avoid the
$46000O, 900 of additional taxes the
President figured would be neces-
sary to meet his budget, in which
no provision was made for parity.
Senate debate on the farm bill
revealed. however. that members of
Congress are figuring on several fac

tors that may enable them to stave
of consideration of either new taxes
or higher debt limit until after
the November elections Some of
them are advocating dipping into
the Treasury's cash working balance,
although they disagree as to what
this balance will be during the COM
ing fiscal year. Others call atten-
ton to reports that the new income
tax returns give promise of increased
collections this year.
After Senator Taft, Republican,
of Ohio had attacked continuation
Of deficit spending yesterday, Sena-
tor Connally, Democrat, of Texas
and member of the Finance Com
mittee, declared that "of course we
are going to have to levy new taxes
sometime" Later, the Texan sug-
gested it would be done next year.
Senator Taft argued that con-
tinued deficits lead to imitation. The
longer the balancing of the budget
is put off. the harder it will be to
accomplish, he declared, adding:
1T is no accident that they have
dictators in Russia and Germany.
A dictator is simply receiver called
in when the people believe their
economic and political system is
bankrupt"
The Ohioan contended that the
relief workers in the cities already
have taken their part of retrench-
ment, through reduction in w. P A.
appropriations in the past two years,
and said he believed the farmers
are just as willing to work to that
end.
Senator Connally and Senator
Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina
chided Senator Taft for not doing
more in the Appropriations Com
mittee and on the floor to carry out
the percentage reduction in all
bureaus he advocated in a speech
early this year.

A survey by the Associated Press
indicated that 10 to % per cent Of
the selectees passed as physically

had been rejected by the Regular
Army medical officers.
Officers at selective service head
quarters were not alarmed at this
showing They pointed out that the
civilian physicians who had volun-

would become more so as selective
service continues. They also ex-
planned that the Army doctors are

only because of the years training

the requirement that men trained
under selective service remain In re-

While she lay submerged, Whit

stone upon her head and placed an
other on her chest. When the body
was found there was white belt
pulled tightly around her neck.
The officer said Kenyon told him
he returned to the car and drove
to his brothers home. Not finding
him there, he went to the home of
a friend at Hope Valley, L. l., and
told him what he had done.
The friend advised Kenyon to tell
his story to priest.
Kenyon returned to Groton and
called upon Father Murphy who,
after he heard the story, notified
Constable Stanton Greene. Greene
in turn summoned State Police from
Groton barracks.

Especial to The Democracy

Chicago, July Is - Connecticut's
delegation was on the Roosevelt
bandwagon today, though some of
the members were sitting a bit gin
gerly in view of their opposition to
measures proposed by the president
in the past. The fact that party
leaders from the Nutmeg state rea-
lie that they must stand or fall
with Roosevelt was brought home
with telling effect last night when
U. S. Senator Francis T. Maloney,
not noted as staunch new dealer,
lauded the president to the skies in
a speech seconding his nomination.
The 16 votes from Connecticut
were pledged to President Roosevelt
at the state convention in Hartford
last month, and the delegation had
no choice even had there been no
Draft Roosevelt movement. But
above and beyond the pledge, DEM
ocratic chieftains, looking at the
picture realistically, realized that
nomination Of President Roosevelt
offered the best, and almost only,
