FARM SURPLUS:
May Hasten Subsidy

The administrations farm ex'
perts weren't being too subtle in q
movement to hasten payment Of
direct subsidies to farmers. They
were pointing out in the capital
that an over-supply of pork and
milk expected within the next two
months, may require President
Truman to ask immediate authority
for such action.
SECRETARY of Agriculture
Brannan said he already had dis
cussed such a proposal with the
President. At the present time the
government is committed to sup
port prices of those commodities
by buying any surplus and taking
it off the market. This is supposed
to keep the retail price up.
Farm legislation passed by the
80th congress authorized direct pay
ments to farmers for pork and
milk, but this law does not go into
effect until January l. 1850.
Meanwhile, the agriculture secre-
tary said consumer prices on pork
and milk probably would fall if the
ADMINISTRATION was allowed to make
direct subsidy payments to produ-
GERS.
DESPITE much sentiment to the
contrary, Brannan said his depart
ment has had a quite favorable"
reaction to the proposed farm pro-
gram which, briefly, would let farm
products find their own price level
through supply and demand, with
the government paying the farmer
the difference in this and the sup
port price in cash.
Congressional critics of the farm
program declare its cost will run
into billions of dollars and that it
will benefit neither the farmer nor
the taxpayer, because, in the end,
the farmer and the taxpayer will be
additional taxes TO finance
the program.

CANCER:
Progress Seen

The men in white who wage ar

caught a glimmer of hope-they
felt sure they had discovered, as
they put it, what is for all prac.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT W a S
made with the customary caution
and restraint of the men who work
with test tubes-"reasonably sure"
was how they described the test.
But if they had made such a dis
covery, it was a great stride for
ward toward victory over the terri
BILE disease.
According to the announcement,

versity of Chicago of the blood

viduals had revealed significant

Report of the university findings
was made by Professor Charles B.
Higgins. who 10 years ago origi-
mated a new treatment for pros
tatic cancer which has kept more
than 25 per cent of the victims
alive and well for more than eight
years.

others tested, except those with

Inasmuch as tuberculosis and in

test was not expected to confound
cancer with other conditions.

UN Asks Facts

The United Nations wasn't heed
ing protests of Hungary and Bull
garia against its consideration of
the trials of Cardinal Mindszenty
and Protestant churchmen. Instead,
the UN invited the two Soviet
satellite countries to tell their
stories of the Imprisonment of the
Cardinal and other clergymen.
THE RUSSIAN delegation indi-
Gated the two nations would disre-
gard the invitation, since both Hun
gary and Bulgaria have commended
the trials were internal matters and
no business of the UN.
The world organization, however,
voted 80 to Z to put the church
cases on its agenda and to 60 on
with a full discussion of them.
U. S. delegate Benjamin V. Cohen
argued the committee should delay
inviting any nations or churches to
send spokesman until it decides
how it wants to deal with the ques-
ton.
Russia's Jacob A. Malik indi-
Gated the two Russian satellites
would reject such an invitation and
accused Bolivia of violating the UN
charter by seeking to invite re-
ligious organizations.
To the casual observer, the entire
matter was even less than a tenn
pest in a tea pot. Whatever the UN
might find as a result of rehashing
the convictions of the churchmen-
what could UN do about it? The
force of UN in world peace reten-
ton efforts has been so meager as
to cause critics to begin comparing
it already with the old League of
Nations which died of impotency.

OASI COST:
In Billions

American taxpayers in covered
employment would have to dig into
their pockets to the tune of 3.7s
billion dollars by 1855 to finance ole
age and survivors insurance under
the proposals advanced by Presi'
dent Truman and his administra'
ton.
BY THE YEAR 2,O00-when the
program is expected to hit its peak
the proposed cost would have
mounted to approximately 10 bill
lion dollars.
This estimate, made by the Re-
search Council for Economic Sc
curity, Chicago, is based on a re-
port from the advisory council on
social security to the 80th congress.
Of a labor force of over 60 mil
lion, OASI now covers about IS
million, or roughly three out of five
jobs. Coverage is now limited to
persons employed in industry and
commerce. 1t is proposed that the
system be extended to cover the
entire labor force.
In presenting both sides Of the
question, the councils report in
cludes a full page of pros and cons.
Each side might be summarized
as follows:
ON THE ONE HAND, if en-.
ployees of commerce and industry
are entitled to this protection, why
not employees on the farm and in
the household? If the goal of the
system is to provide even a mini
mum of subsistence, benefits must
be raised now to keep in step with
living costs. An adequate OASI
system will reduce substantially the
heavy burden of old age assistance.
On the other hand, opponents of
the proposed extension point out
that of those excluded, the majority
are either protected by other
systems or are able to provide for
themselves, while the lowest in
come classes are employed too
irregularly to earn insured status
under any program. If the cost of
living is a valid reason for raising
benefits now, then logically the
whole system should be geared to
the cost of living, fluctuating down
as we'll as up. The bigger the
system, the better the promises of
bigger and better pensions.

BOND DRIVE:
Plan for Security

Kickoff speaker at the opening
of the Opportunity Bond Drive
in which the government hopes to
sell n billion, 40 million dollars
worth of us. savings bonds to its
people, President Truman keyed
his remarks to the need for nation
al security.
HE PICTURED the bond drive as
providing another opportunity for
purchasers to ssh security for
themselves and their country.
Among other things, the President
said:
I'VE know that we cannot have a
sound and ecure nation unless Sc
curity is the common possession Of
u people. Farmer, factory work.
er, banker, merchant, school teach
er, housewife-all are buying Sc
curity for themselves and each
other when they buy savings
bonds"
He added that every bond hey
have bought has given them much
more reason to feel secure about
the future-their own and their
country's."
THE PRESIDENT said the kick
off dinner was to honor three mil
lion volunteers in the bond sales
program, and declared they would
be joined by another $50, 900 news
boys who would ring the nations
doorbells, bringing the message Of
the Opportunity Bond Drive into IL
million American homes.
Top question plaguing bond Off
Gals was the recession in employ
ment, lower prices and less con-
sumner cash interfering with the
bond drives reaching its goal.

the country continues to be split
by Communist control in the North
and Nationalist control in the South
2. Deal with Communist or part
Communist government, If one is
set up. and If the State Department

3. Cut off aid entirely if the State
Department adopts this as the proper
course.
