bound couple are finding out it's
all right to invite people to your

In a burst of enthusiasm, they
invited their radio audience of
millions to attend the wedding
during the Military Academy's
June Week" next year when
Cadet Stephenson is to be grad
uated.
Here's the reaction:
ABC said last night SGT persons

be happy to attend.
A publicity man for the show
claimed 1900 acceptances had
been received. He said maybe q
million people would turn up.
1t. Col. William Proctor, West

were "gratifled' at the public re-

Anderson Farm Plan
Backed by Brannan
With Qualifications
By the Associated Press

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan gave qualified support to-
day to a compromise farm price
support program worked out for
next year by Senator Anderson.
Democrat, of New Mexico.
Mr.. Brannan told the Senate
Agriculture Committee that the
Anderson compromise would pro-
vide somewhat higher Govern
ment price support levels than a
flexible price plan voted by Con-
gress last year. Actual operating
of the plan voted in 1948 will not
begin until next year.
Public hearing on farm legis-
lation were reported today at the
insistence of the committees
chairman, Senator Elmer Thomas.
Senator Thomas quickly pointed
out that the supports for wheat,
cotton, corn and other products
under the Anderson compromise
would be lower than those now
existing.
Thomas has said he favors con-
tinuing high level wartime farm
price supports now in operation
for another year. The House
already has voted to do this.
Provides Higher Support.
Senator Anderson, who was
President Truman's guest on a
weekend cruise. had hoped to get
a favorable vote on his compro-
mise bill at closed session of the
committee. But Senator Thomas
insisted on testimony with Mr..
Brannan as the first witness.
Farm and labor leaders also were
invited to give their views.
He said the reopened hearings
will mot be long and drawn out"
because "all we have been doing
for several years is holding hear
ings."
Senator Brannan began by not
ing that the supports under the
Anderson compromise would be
higher than those under the fex-
ible price support plan due to so
into operation next year. He said
this is a distinct advantage and
might be "at least a partial re-
payment" for all the discussion
about farm programs.
But he added that the Anderson
bill fails to order strong price
supports for livestock and similar
products.
He assured Senators his depart
ment will do its best to make any
farm plan passed by Congress sue
ceed.
Not Yet Introduced.
The bill in dispute actually has
not even been introduced in the
Senate.
Senator Anderson, who preceded
Mr.. Brannan as Secretary of Agri-
culture, developed his compromise
with support of Republican Sena-
tors after a series of public hear
ings at which the major farm Or
ganizations and Secretary Bran
nan testified.
Senator Thomas sent kilograms
to five major farm organizations
as well as William Green of the
AFL. Philip Murray Of the CIO
and John L. Lewis of the Miners
union to testify on the compromise
bill.
Senator Young Of North Dakota,
one Of the Republican, Senators
listed by Senator Anderson as
supporting the compromise, ac-
cused Democrats Of playing poll
tics with farm price-supports.
All participants in the legis-
lative squabble agree on one thing
that the Federal farm program
will be a major issue in next
years congressional campaign as
they were in the elections last

Railroad Crossings

The Daily Express says amen
to an editorial in another local
daily which called for an elevation
of all railroad crossings in the
city regardless of cost. The toll of
human life at Dayton and vicinity
grade crossings is in itself justi-
fication for the construction of
elevations. The editorial was
touched off by the incident at a
crossing last week where an am
bulance rushing to IN accident
where someone was seriously hurt
was delayed for over five minutes
by a freight train. Then the train
stopped six cars from the end and
the ambulance had to take a
roundabout route.
How many people in Dayton
have not been delayed by freight
trains and switching engines at
least once a day? We wager nary
a one. And how many people at
one time or another have escaped
a narrow escapade with an ap-
preaching train. Same answer.
But the only way for the peo-
pie of Dayton to get relief from
the myriad dangerous grade cross
ings is for them to clamor and
clamor for it. A public protest
should be made to the city COM
mission. Until this is done people
will continue to get killed and in
convenienced.
