Farm Plan Supporters
Offer Fixed Formula
For Price Standards
hY the A,soeiafad Press


Government farm officials came
sip with a new argument for the
administrators new farm pro-
gram today.
It would save them-and par
ticularly the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture-from many a headache. they
said. in determining at what levels
the Government would support
producer prices Of various farm
products.
The Aiken long-range farm law.
scheduled to 60 into effect jan
uary /, would leave the question
Of setting various support prices up
to the Secretary and his assistants.
This law gives the department
great leeway-and hence, said Of
ficials, opens the way for con-
fiicting pressures from outside
groups-such as farmers, consum-
ers, professors and dissatisfied
Congressmen.
The administration plan, on
the other hand, would set price
support standards by means of a
mathematical formula. There
would BE- no room for variation.
Some Guideposts Set Up.
The Aiken law, for example.
allows the department to set price
supports for a great many products
at any figure between zero and
80 per cent Of party. For other
products, the support range is be-
tween go and 80 per cent Of parity.
PARTY Is a legal standard for
measuring farm prices, designed
to be equally fair to farmers and
nonfarmersD
In the case of a limited few
products, the Aiken law sets up a
guidepost for supports. That is.
it directs that supports be set at
not less than certain percentage
of parity for various supply levels
OF tneSe prOQucLS.
Five Basic Crops Included.
But in any event the Secretary
may set the support level any,
where between the minimum de-
termined by this formula and 90
per cent of parity. Crops coming
under this formula include wheat,
corn, cotton, peanuts and rice.
For such important products as
hogs. milk, cattle. lambs. eggs,
chickens, soybeans, fiaxseed, but
terfat, apples and other fruits. the
Aiken law allows the Secretary to
set support from zero to 80 per
cent.
On such items as potatoes and
wool, the range is between 60 and
90 per cent of parity.
Onicials said that under the
Aiken law, the department un-
doubtedly would be under pressure
of producers to make the price
supports as high as possible. Con-
sumner groups and professors. on
the other hand, could be expected
to demand lowest possible sup
ports. tfsa t-
Under the administration plan,
the price support level of partic-
ular commodity would be equal to
the. purchasing power value Of
that commodity during a previous
10-year period. - ....l

Breadon. former owner of the
St. Louis Cardinals, the club for
which Cooper did his best pitch
ing, made good last october some
bad checks Cooper was charged
with passing in st. Louis and
other cities.
The Post-Dispatch said Brea-
don then took the big right

and, after satisfying himself that
Cooper had Strengthened out. be-
gan steps to get the pitcher back
into the game.
II was convinced that the way
pitchers last longer in baseball
than other players, a sound
and more important-a WELL
conditioned Cooper still could win
in the major leagues" Breadon
said.
For the first time in his life,
however, Mort had been shocked
by those charges brought against
him. And I was pleasantly sur
prised and impressed when he
showed up two months later. his
weight reduced by IL pounds and
his waistline by seven inches. He
said he could win. and believe
him.
Breadon wrote first to the
presidents of the two major
leagues and then, after deter
mining Coopers preference, he
contacted General Manager Jim
Gallagher of the Cubs in Coop
ers behalf.
The newspaper said selling
Job was necessary. but that
Breadon's endorsement. an exam
ination of the pitchers arm by
DR.. Robert F. Hyland and a trip
by Cooper to Chicago persuaded
Gallagher that Cooper was worth
the gamble.
Cooper has peeled down to 205

Rome thinks the Hoyas should stick

Eastern schools such as Lafayette,
Rutgers, Colgate, etc, plus contin-
uing their rivalry with George Wash
ington. He's not in favor OF inter-
sectional games.
He detests Friday night football,
but without a stadium he had to
take what he could get at the ball
park. Some schools refuse to play
in public stadiums and when he
did land game he always had to
check with George washington,
which shares the park. In basket
ball again 1t was a lack of facilities
at home. The best part of George
towns basket ball schedule was
played on the road.
When Rome took over in 1910
they called him the youngest ath-
letic director in the country .(he
was 28) and some of the boys
thought he took it too seriously.
Independent in Views.
One of his first actions was to
advise the press that Georgetown
no longer would take guests on
its road trips, a common practice
in pro and college football. Two or
three of the columnists raped him
hard. He made the television boys
mad recently with stand against
video, but, in all, his independence
has been an asset.

the Eastern Collegiate Athletic
Conference, recently said Schwagel
was "the most up and coming

pointments in the ECAC. will make
