Lower Price Support
For Farmers Favored
By Platform Draffers
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-
Republican convention platform
drafters leaned favorably today
toward a farm group plan for
taking swat at the high cost
of living-particularly of food
and farm fiber products.
That plan would lower artificial
props the Government maintains
under farm prices after this year.
If put into effect, 1t would allow
a lower level of food prices than
the present farm program, provid-
ing, of course, a new emergency
shortage did not develop.
A resolutions subcommittee on
agriculture put the idea in a sug-
gested farm plank 1t was set to
be considered by the full commit
tee today along with planks on
other domestic and foreign issues
drafted by eight other subcommit-
tees after two days of public hear
ings.
Want Support Modified.
Chairman Ancher Nielsen, Min
nesotan, said his farm subgroup was
deeply impressed by concern spokes-
men for three major farm organi-
cations expressed over the domestic
price situation.
He said they were anxious to get
the existing farm price support set
up modified before it kicked back
on farmers. The farm leaders tes-
titled that present support levels
could easily promote farm surpluses
and a consequent spectacle of the
Government spending millions, per-
naps billions, of dollars holding up
prices.
Such development" said Albert
S. Goss, National Grange leader,
could easily turn the public against
the idea of Government price sup
port programs"
The longtime interest of farmers
dictates, Mr. GoSs said, moderate
level of supports designed to protect
farmers against a sudden price and
income collapse.
New Bill Passed by Senate.
There was a possibility-but the
farm leaders considered it remote
that Congress might yet pass new
farm bill containing lower price
props. One has been approved by
the Senate, but the House wants to
keep the present program, with a
few notifications, until mid-1950.
Mr. Nielsen said the Republican
platform undoubtedly would pledge
prompt" action on lower supports
by the next session of Congress if
the House idea prevails at this ses-
sion, or if no action at all is taken
1t appeared that the platform
writer's biggest job will not be one
of composing differences of views,
but of whiting the statement down
to the 1,500-word limit set by their
chairman, Senator Lodge of Massa-
chuSetts.
Most International" Position.
Such document would be less
than half the size of the partys
1914 edition which was lauded by
Its authors for its brevity.
The platform is not expected to
be completed before Tuesday, but
already it appears certain that it
will pledge the Republicans to the
most international" position in the
paftys history. Such a prediction
was made by Senator Lodge, who
headed a subgroup on foreign
affairs
1t also is expected to put the
party on record in favor OF a strong
civil rights plank Members said a
Civil Rights Subcommittee voted
last night for a plank supporting
laws or constitutional amendments
against poll taxes, lynching, racial
segregation in the armed services
and unfair employment practices.

The galleries were full but the
Senators few during most OF the
Senate filibuster against the Draft
Bill staged by Idaho's Singing Cow
boy" Senator Taylor and his COL
league, the unpredictable Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North Dakota
Curious spectators crowded all
available seats and lined up through
the marble halls when the Idahoan
began his discussion of a variety of
subjects late yesterday.
AS time wore on and Senator
LANCER took over early this morning,
the galleries began to empty and
when the Senators again switched
places at 6:41 am. only six persons
were on hand. But by 9 am. about
$50 spectators, mostly week end
tourists, were there.
Two Republicans, Senators Brew
ster Of Maine and Knowland OF
California, sat on guard duty while
Senator Taylor kept up a steady
stream of words which ranged from
Henry Wallace's boomerang-tossing
hobby to how to survive an atomic
bomb. The man from Idaho, who
bolted the Democratic Party last
winter to run for Vice President on
the Wallace third-party ticket, got
in several Wallace-for-P esident
plugs.
Chatting away casually, now talk
ing of the cuff" now reading from
newspapers and Senate documents,
Senator Taylor went rapidly from
one subject to another as he brought
one burst OF laughter after another
from the galleries. Every once In a
while he returned to the proposed
draft and denounced 1t roundly.
There is no basis, he said, for
what he called talk in some quar-
ters that Mr.. Wallace is. q screw
halr' for his interest, in Boomerang
hurting. Boomeranging, said Sena-
tor Taylor, is not as bad as playing
golf.
Its smarter, in fact" he said.
You don't have to chase a BOOM
erang"
Senator Taylor suggested that to
keep the human race from Being
annihilated In the event Of an
atomic war, the Government ought
to select about a half dozen young
couples, just married, and put them
down in Mammoth Cave"
He said they could come forth
when things quieted down and re
populate the earth" But he de-
clined to volunteer himself.
Many Senators were grabbing cat
maps in rooms adjoining the Senate
chamber, using cots brought in by
attendants.
When Senator LANCER relieved
Senator Taylor he took an hour to
