Recites Farmers Gains.
Pointing TO the Democratic record
on farm legislation since 1888, Mr..
Truman added:
"Your best protection Is to elect
a Democratic congress and a Presi-
dent that will play fair with the
farmer"
In reciting the gains that the
farmers have made since 1888, Mr..
Truman recalled the troubles of
the 1920 and early 1905 under Re-
publican rule with tariffs that pen
allied the American farmer by
making him pay high prices for
manufactured goods while he was
receiving low prices for his crops. "
you remember the results of that
Wall Street Republican policy he
said. You remember the big boom
and the great crash of 1923. You
remember In 1882 the position of
the farmer had become SO desperate
that there was actual violence in
many farming communities. You
remember that insurance companies
and banks took over the land of
small Independent farmers-when
223,00O farmers lost their farms.
That was painful lesson. 1t
should not be forgotten for q mo-
ment.
"Since then the farmer has come
long way. The agricultural pro-
gram of the Democratic admins
tration in 16 years has enabled the
farmers to attain decent standards
of living
Mr.. Truman devoted large Sec
ton Of his speech to defense of the
farm price support program, and
the argument that it did not boost
the cost of living.
In attempting to lay the blame
for living costs on this aid to the
farmer the Republicans are trying
to divide the farmer and the indus

Attacked by BarkIey in
First Campaign Talk

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Sept. 18.-
Senator Barkley, Democrat, of Ken
lucky launched his vice presidential
campaign today with an attack on
Republican tax cutters of the
Eightieth Congress.
| Benefits from income tax reduc-
tions passed by the GOP-controlled
Congress are largely enjoyed by
those with the largest income" he
charged.
The Kentucky Senator said that
100000 taxpayers with incomes
OF 5000 year or more received
81 per cent Of the reduction and
SO. .000. 900 with incomes of less than
5000 a year received a total of
only So per cent OF the total reduc-
| tion."
Crowd is Small.
! With hot sun beating down on
Artillery Park at nearby Kingston,
Barkley drew small crowd at his
first campaign speech. The stands
hold $500 persons and they were
less than half filled. No one would
give an official estimate.
Earlier, the Kentuckian told re-
porters at a news conference that
the election will change the Re-
publican-dominated Congress into
a Democratic Congress and give the
people Of America new Vice Pres
ident."
He hit at the Eightieth Congress

Warren Urges Guard
On Atomic Secrets in
New Mexico Speech
BY the Associa.ed Press

AbBU(4U UER(2U N. M, Sept. 18
Speaking in the State which
Graded the atomic bomb, Gov Earl
Warren tonight called for the
guarding of Americas atomic Sc
crets until the iron curtains of
international distrust can be lifted
permanently. ~~.i
The Republican vice presidential
nominee said the principle of Pan
Americanism in the Western Hemi-
sphere, and especially the spirit OF
cooperation between the United
States and its neighbors to the north
and south, constitutes both an in
ternational idea and a formula for
application to the world at large.
But, he cautioned, we must not
take our friendly relations for
granted.
I'VE must work at them day and
night.
Must Remember Hemisphere.
I'VE must not turn our minds SO
completely to the urgent require
ments of Europe as to forget, even
temporarily, that there is much to
be done in our own hemisphere.
Here, also, are economies TO be
developed Here, also, are industries
to be built in order to employ and
sustain vast and increasing popu-
lation.
Here, too, new trade must be
stimulated and every means urged
to put great natural resources to
work for the mutual benefit OF the
people of an entire hemisphere
In coming to Albuquerque to cau-
ton against too naive or unthink-
ing approach to world recovery aid,
Gov. Warren spoke less than 100
miles from Los AlamoS where the
atomic bomb had its birth-and
barely 200 miles from the first
atomic detonation in the desert
north of White Sands.
Speaking in the University OF
New Mexico gymnasium, Gov. War
rem declared:
The next national administration
faces an overwhelming responsibility
our country's possession OF the
atomic secret.
Everything depends upon the
wisdom with which this trust is
carried out. Our Nation has sought
to find a means by, which the
atomic bomb can be internationally
controlled. Our proposals thus far
have been rejected.
I'VE must retain and guard this
secret"
Shocking as was the use Of the
atomic bomb at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, the disaster attending
the birth of the atomic era has
stimulated as no other fact in his
tory has stimulated, the search for
a formula for peaceful International |
rela tions.
Fundamental is Good VIII.

formula must, of course, be good !

no better way of illustrating what
I mean by formula for peace than
to refer to what is developing along

stretching from Cape Horn to Alas

Clark as "a qualified witness" in re-
newing a plea that Congress be al
lowed to quiz J. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Mr.. Clark is Mr.
Hoover'S immediate superior.
The man we want to talk to is
Mr.. Hoover, not Mr.. Clark" Senator
Ferguson told reporter. 'Mr. Clark
doesn't know enough of
the subject to be Of much value to
as"
The verbal battle began yesterday
when Senator Ferguson asked Mr.
Clark 10 seek immediate indictments
against Reds both IN and out OF

The request brought this reply
from Mr.. Clark in a letter to Sena-
