ON FARM POLICIES
FDR's Message To Con.
gress On Food May
Set Off New Fight

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-P)-
President Rooseve1t's message tc
Congress Monday on food is ex'
pected to spark full scale re-
newa1 of the Congressional battle
over farm policies in general ana
food subsidies in particular.
The fight over subsidy payments
to keep down consuming 1000
prices has flared sporadically on
Capitol Hill for several days.
The president has taken the po-
sition that subsidies are the most
practical method of holding the
line against initiation. But the
House Banking committee mas
approved legislation prohibiting
use of Commodity Credit Corpora
ton funds for payment OF suosl-
dies.
House Agriculture committee
opposition to subsidies has been
plain.
Rep. Patman D-Tex), chairman
of the House Small Business COM
mittee has taken the lead In the
House in urging food price subsl-
dies, declaring them to be the
only device yet suggested which
will prevent increases in the cost
of living and ''ruinous initiation"
The presidents message is ex-
pected to result in a renewed at
tempt to bring out of the Rules
committee bill by Chairman Full
mer D-SC) of the House Agri-
culture committee creating an Of
flee for one man to have charge
of the entire wartime food pro-
gram, from farm machinery to
rationing. Fulmer's committee has
recommended passage of the
measure.
I'VE believe" Rep. Hope (R.
Kas) said, that the Fulmer bill
will do lot to stimulate food
production.

COP. FACTIONS
MAY COMPROMISE
SIS Primary Fee Called
Excessive; Committee Is
Asked for Amendments

10 is believed by John McHugh,
a member of the Young Republican
Club, that all the recent pickering
can be ironed out between the club
and the Republican Town Commit
tee by means of compromise. He
expressed the opinion that in the
case of the clubs objection to the
S25 fee to be filed in each district
for any candidate who opposes the
party's choice in the primaries, ad-
justment can be made by reducing
the fee to $40 per district.
He writes: 1.-The difference of
opinion between some members of
the Young Mems Republican Club
and the leaders of the Republican
Club and the leaders of the Republi-
can party pertaining to deposit OF
$25 for each district where a pri-
mary is held to cover expense of the
primary, can be settled by both
parties without either losing face
or causing rift in the party previ-
Gus to election if common sense is
used.
'At meeting OF the Y. M. RI. G.,
attended by II members, motion
was passed that the club go on
record as being opposed to the rule
of the party and committee was
appointed to confer with Town
Chairmen Vernon Hall, it's aim be-
ing to have the town convention
convene and have this rule amend
ed.
II believe that $25 a district is
excessive because experience has
proved that nowhere near as much
as $500 for the 80 districts is neces-
sary to cover expenses. realize also
that the party should be protected
against expenses that could pile up
against the party by disgruntled and
disappointed office seekers who
would seek revenge from the leaders
by dividing the party through the
means of a primary"
