Under the plan, the CCC sup
piled bins in which the farmers
could store their products when
surplus existed.
The farmers could use the
stored products as security for
loans from the CCC, selling the
crops later to repay the loan,
and turning them over for sale
by the CCC itself.
These storage bins have large
ly been disposed of by the CCC,
leaving the farmers with no al
tentative but to sell their crops
at the present declining prices
to spectators and grain han
oilers who do have storage facili-
ties.
The Wallace farmers called
for:
. Strengthening of price sup
port floors to provide solid
and effective protection for
the farmers.
o Re-enactment of price cell
ings to protect the cOnsum-
erS."
o Provision of compensatory
payments or subsidies to pro-
tect the farmers"
The farmers explained h a t
they favor price controls because
they feel that they will sell a
greater quantity of foodstuffs to
a greater number of consumers
with the low prices that would
result.
Among the other farm leaders
who took part in the two-day
conference w h Wallace were
Fred Slower, president of the
Iowa Farmers Union; Edward
Yoemans, president of the east
ern division of the Natl. Farm
ers Union; Meyer Parodneck,

The day after the Harvester
price boost was disclosed, the
company was accused of monop-
olistic practices in a government
antitrust suit.
Price supports to farmers are
not the cause of high food prices,
the farmers insisted.
Retail milk prices in many
areas have nearly doubled since
the war ended" they said, land
since dairy farmers have re-
ceived no support benefits, it is
obvious that price supports are
not responsible.
Similarly, in t h S e of
meat, which h S disappeared

no price support payments were
made last year to the growers. J"
Wallace said that the fall in
farm prices, plus the bumper
crops expected this year, spell
disaster to the farmers.
Grain handlers" and specu-
lators will make millions out of

their crops and storing them un-
til prices raise because of the
ensuing artificial scarcity, he
claimed.

progress like the progress of the ma

Sometimes the collision of the for-

today make it seem almost more tragic
in prosperity than It was in the deeper
poverty before" said Daniels.
He said the region probably has
made most progress in the past decade
in the field Of race relations. the very
field in which it gets the least credit
Daniels said the fact that today
there are only 58 Negro doctors to 8
million Negro people in Mississippi il
an outrageous item in any civilization.
However, it should be bettef
known detail that North Carolina EN-.
ploys more Negro teachers than ali
the states north Of the Mason-D
Line and that last year it paid them
higher average wage than the average
received by white teachers in the
state.
Daniels found many Southerners
shocked to discover that in terms of
other states, regions and people now
they are almost as far behind the rest
of the nation as ever, despite decade

Medicine
New Heart Technique


The principle of reinforced n
crete, carried over into medicine, is
being used to reinforce blood clots for
the repair of weak or injured hearts.
Concrete uses steel bars for rein
forcement. The blood is reinforced by
gelatin sponge, a white fluffy SUBJ
stance. Blood, seeping into this sponge,
clots in places where blood alone
would never clot.
The new technique was described
to the American Medical Association
convention in Chicago.
Experiments thus far have been
confined to animals but the usefulness
has been confirmed by previous hu-
man uses of gelatin sponges.
In animal hearts, holes were opened
as large as a finger. Ordinarily this
would have meant certain death. The
gelatin sponge sealed them.
The sponge does not have to be re-
moved because the gelatin, form of
food, is absorbed in two months or
less. Meanwhile, heart wounds heal
just as if they were cuts on finger
The gelatin patches also worked
well on cuts in arteries.
The sponges should prove a boor
for people with hearts torn in acci,
dents. They will also provide a new
tool for specialist surgeons with abil
ity to remake bad hearts but ham
pered previously by inability to stor
the loss of blood.

GERMANY: The East-Wesf Rift Widens

THE east-west struggle for
i Germany has entered new
and active stage after a long dead
lock.
French approval of plans for
new western German state is the
green light for which the western
powers have been waiting. The
French Parliament decision (by a
narrow margin) to go along with
Britain and the United States ends an
occupation Stalemate which for almost
three years has kept Germany quar-
tered.
The three western occupation pow
ers, with the .Benelux countries, now
are agreed that German resources
should be used to aid Europe's re-
covery.
First Step
The first step was to revamp the
German money system to provide a
sound currency as a basis for German
participation in the Marshall plan.
The old and almost worthless Reichs-
mark was replaced by new Deutsche
mark.
The western powers will revive
Ruhr industries under an internation-
al control board and set up a German
government in the three western
zones early next year.
The Russians long have had their
own plan for German state to be
dominated by Communists. The Ger
man Peoples Council, sponsored by
the Communication Socialist Unity
Party in the Soviet zone, says it has
100000 signatures on a petition
calling for German unity and con-
demning a western state.
Squeeze on Berlin
One of the Russian objectives has
been to squeeze the western powers
out Of Berlin, which is deep within
their occupation zone. Ever since the
breakdown of conferences among the
foreign ministers, they have been
making things difficult for occupation
troops and western civilians in the
four-power capital.

Buttresses the U.N.
The plank closely follows Vanden-
berg's ideas on strengthening the
United Nations It calls for eliminat-

putes. Il says nothing about junking

On civil rights, the Republican
plank is not far from President Tru-
mans program which caused such
tumult in the South. It calls for
prompt legislation to outlaw lynching,
abolish the poll tax, and opposes
racial segregation in the armed forces.
For Public Housing
The housing plank recommends
federal aid to states for local slum
clearance and low-rental housing" but
only where there is a need that can't
be met by private enterprise, states or
