Midwest Democrats
Stake 1850 Hopes on
Brannan Farm Plan
By re Assoeo,sc Prsss

DES MONIES, June l4-Demo-
Gratis viii stake their hopes for
another Midwestern farm belt VIC
tory in 1850 on the Truman ad-
ministrations new farm plan
promising cheaper food and farm
er prosperity.
A l6-State Democratic Midwes.
conference has voted 10 support
the controversial program ad-
vanced yesterday by Secretary of
Agriculture Brannan and Endorsed
by President Truman.
Composed OF State party Of
ficials. the conference made this
decision after hearing Mr.. Bran
nan and other top-ranking ad-
ministration leaders advance the
proposal as a Sure-fire measure
for preventing new farm depres-
sion. and as victory vehicle In
next years Congressional cleo
tlons.
Federation Opposes Plan.
This stand was taken in the face
Of sharp opposition to the plan
by the powerful American Farm
Bureau Federation. This farm
organization. which has more
members in the Midwest area than
any other farm group. has in
dorsed the lons-range Aiken farm
law passed by the Republican 80tt
Congress.
Farm Belt Democrats said they
were willing to let farmers choose
between the administrations So
called Brannan plan and the
Aiken law.
1t was in the Midwest that
President Truman staged q sur
prising victory in the presidential
race last year.
Republicans have declared
their intention to try to pull the
traditionally Republican farm
vote back into the party fold
next year.
G. 0. r. Challenge Accepted.
"We accept the challenge of the
Republican leadership" said the
conference resolution, Ito make
the farm programs offered by the
two parties the major issue Of the
election campaign in the Mid
west"
In brief. the Brannan plan
would promise the farmers higher
returns than the Aiken law. Like
wise. 1t would permit somewhat
lower consumer prices on surplus
perishable products. 1t would de-
pend more on subsidies to support
farm income than would the
Aiken measure.

That's why the bureaus involved
will use the "attrition" system 10
avoid mass layoffs. That this sys-
item can avoid many tirings can be
seen by the fact that the Govern
ment's normal personnel turnover
during a year, from designations
retirements and other factors
usually averages about 500 900.
Some reductions stilf will have
to be made, but the attrii1or
process will save thousands o!
jobs. In fact. there are some per
sonnel people who contend that
no firings would be necessary IL
the White House and Budget Blu
reau worked out an integrated
attrition policy on a Government
wide basis.
HOT POTATO-The Post Once
Department and the Civil Service
Commission really have hot po-
tato In their laps. They're in the
middle Of a political crosSilre be-
tween Democrats and Republicans
In Boston and the State OF Massa-
chusettS.
1t seems that about 500 dis
abled veterans-those with 20
points or more of disabilIty-were
appointed TO substitute Clerk
carrier Jobs in Boston about year
ago. Since then. however. a per
manent exam has been given and
there are quite few other ais
abled veterans who nave qualified
for these positions.
The 500 disabled veterans now
on the Job. many Of whom are
charged by the other job candi-
dates with being political ap-
pcintees of the Democratic regime
in Boston. want the Post ONCE
Department to automatically cer-
tify them as permanent appointees
regardless Of the grades made by
the other disabled veterans. They
contend that their experience. plus
the fact that they have made pass
ing grades. entitle them TO the
Jobs.
Sharply opposing this contcn-
ton are the other disable vet
erans who have made higher
grades than the original temporary
appointees. They contend that
these original appointees got their
jobs on political pull" They
argue that the permanent status
positions should be Allied on a
merit basis. according to the
grades made In the exam.
Their claims are being supported
by q number Of Boston Republi-
cans while the Democrats are
backing the original appointees.
All this poses q political head
ache to the Post ONCE Depart
ment. which thus far has been
unable to bring itself to the point
of making a decision. There's q
strong indication that the buck
will be passed to the Civil Service
Commission for a final action and
you can be sure that whichever
way the decision goes. there will
be a howl of protest from the
other side.

 He denied that he or the long shoremen's union wants to com munize" the Hawaiian Islands.
 We only want a wage in- crease" he said. "If that means communism, that's too bad"
