Farmers Stake in War
Is Great, Wickard SAYS

AS a group, the stake of farmers
in this world conflict is as great or
greater than that of any group,
SAYS Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard.
I am a farmer and I think my
outlook on things in general is the
outlook of the average farmer. If
there is any outstanding charac-
istic of the average farmer, would
say it is this: love of individual
liberty and individual freedom. That
explains why a good many of us
are farmers. But what does Hit
leriSm in Europe have to do with
the freedom, liberty and safety of
the average American farmer? II
has a lot to do with it. Long ago
Abraham Lincoln said that this Ma
ton could not exist half slave and
half free. 1t Is equally true that
the world cannot exist half demo

to walk back and forth wearing a

worn by the bandit who held up the

Yes, I did" replied the woman.

-Four Regarded as Leading
Contenders in Texas

DALLAS, Tex, June % LP).-Texas

the United States Senate at the end
OF fantastic campaign.
The winner will succeed the late
Senator Sheppard, father of prohi-
bition, and Andrew Jackson Hous-
ton, the son of Texas liberator, Gen.
Sam Houston, who died Thursday
night.
Eligible to vote are 8l4,336 poll
tax payers and 100000 persons more
than IS years old who hold poll tax
exemptions. Predicted showers in
the Eastern half of the State may
keep some of these at home.
Four Leading Candidates.
Four Of the candidates-Gov
O'Daniel, Attorney General Gerald
Mann, Representative Lyndon john
son and Representative Martin Dies,
chairman of the House Committee
on Un-American Activities-are the
likely leaders, political observers
predicted. They did not expect the
other 81 to poll more than a NOM
inal vote. Only a plurality is nee
essary to elect.
Two kilograms from President
Roosevelt to Mr.. johnson were in
jected into the campaign. One
promised to discuss pensions with
Mr.. johnson when he returned to
Washington. The other. read by Mr..
Johnson at a Houston rally last

Seditious Conspiracy
Charged 10 ST. Paul
Socialist Leaders
Criminal Proceedings TO
Be Storted Next Week b,
Justice Department
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Justice Department has an
nounced 1t will start criminal pro-
ceedings in st. Paul. MINI, next
week against leaders of the Socialist
Workers Party, charging them with
seditious conspiracy and advocating
overthrow of the Government.
Acting Attorney General Francis
Biddle said yesterday leaders of the
party, whose names were not dis
closed, gained control of q 'legiti-
mate labor union," Local 544 of the
General Drivers, Helpers and In
side Workers of Minneapolis, "in
order to use 1t for illegitimate pur-
poses"
F. B. I. activity in the past year
resulted, the department said, in
the seizure of records. and the prep
aration of the case for the presenta-
tion before the grand jury Tuesday.
Group Bolts A. F. l..
General Drivers Union 544 was
Sundered by internal disSension a
few weeks ago when one group voted
to withdraw from American Fedora
ton of Labor affiliation and was
promptly granted q Committee for
Industrial Organization charter.
A. F. L. leaders subsequently ac-
cused the dissenting leader of at
tempting to disseminate "un-Ameri-
can doctrines" charge which the
c. I. o. leader denied.
THE prosecution, Mr.. Biddle said
"is not in any sense an attack on
organized labor nor is it an effort
to interfere in a dispute between
labor organizations. 1t presents only
the determination Of the Depart
ment Of Justice to prosecute criminal
subversive activity wherever it may
occur"
Declaration Quoted.
The Justice Department said the
Socialist Workers party was COM
| posed of the followers of Leon
TrotSky' and that, in a declaration
of principles adopted at its organiza-
tion convention in January, 1898
stated:
IF, in spite of the efforts oi
the revolutionists and the militant
workers, the United States Govern
ment enters new war, the S. w. P
will not under any circumstance,
support the war but will, on the
contrary, fight against it. The S
w. P. will advocate the continuance
OF the class struggle during the wal
| regardless Of the consequences OF
the outcome of the American mill
| tary struggle; and will try to pre-
pare the masses TO utilize the wal
crisis for the overthrow of United
States capitalism and the victory
of Socialism"
Wendell Berge, Assistant Attorney
General in charge of the Criminal
Division, will conduct the prosecu-
| ton.

Has Retail Price Control
Unlike the Federal marketing or
der governing the handling of milk
in the Washington market, the reg
ulatory power of the Virginia Milk
Commission extends to the fixing
of retail prices to be charged by the
distributors, as well as the price
paid by the handlers to the farmers
who supply the milk.
The chief opposition to the pro-
posed increase came from Harold
A. Serr. chairman of the Arlington
Alexandria Milk Consumers Com
mittee, who told the hearing that
If the request is granted, the
hundredweight price will be rs cents
greater than in any other market
area included in the Federal market
ing service reports.
Summarizing the committees posi-
ton, Mr.. Serr declared that an in
crease for producers is neither nee
essary nor justified at the present
time He added he believed milk
should be made available at lower
price for a relief program and for
school milk program for needy
children.
Claims Reduction Profitable.
During the last year, Mr.. Serr
testified. 100 new producers have
entered this market, indicating, he
said that producers are making
SUFFICIENT profits In this same per-
iod, he added, production has in
creased q per cent.
If there is shortage of milk, 1t
is because of the restrictions on
production enforced by the Mary
Virginia Milk Producers As
sociation, the District Health De-
partment and the State Milk Com
mission Mr.. Serr charged. He
urged the commission to discontinue
its retail price-fixing so that the
distributors could fix their own
prices. He said the price-fixing
regulations also should be amended
to provide for relief milk at 5 cents
per quart and school milk at one
cent per half-pint.
M. H. Burchell, president OF the
Alexandria Dairy, declared that II
the increase is granted, it should be
borne by the consumer and not the
distributor. He said handlers have
been burdened with increase costs in
recent months.
Wage Factor Cited.
Maurice V. Dawson, production
manager OF Chestnut Farms-Chevy
Chase Dairy, which serves the Arl-
ington- Alexandria market, also cited
increased costs of supplies and in
creased wages in contending that
the distributor should not be forced
to bear any increase in the price to
consumers.
He urged the commission not to
grant an increase in excess of 80
cents per hundredweight, declaring
that even that amount of increase
would necesSitate a one-cent-per-
quart rise in the retail price to con-
SumerS. Mr. Dawson said it would
not be fair for the Milk Commission
to recognize the increasing costs of
producers and not to recognize sim
liar increases felt by distributors.
B. B. Derrick, secretary treasurer
of the Milk Producers Association,
presented arguments for the in
crease. He said producers costs
have been increased tremendously
by a shortage of pasture and feed
grain caused by the spring drought,
and shortage of farm labor re-
sulting from higher wages offered
py defense industries.

Pleasant surroundings are

Stacks and moccasins is her
