BERLIN, Dec. 29.-The Com
munists gave warning today to
all their opponents In the Soviet
sponsored East German Peoples
Republic: Toe the line or get out
of political life.
This was sounded in the Soviet
licensed newspaper Nacht Express,
and follows reports Of heavy
Communist pressure on the non
Communist parties Of East Ger
many. It indicated the Com
munists intend to push sternly q
drive to weed out all political 1n-
reliables-Communist or other

The Liberal Democratic Party

Of its members of the Branden-
burg Parliament from party

under this Communist pressure.
The Communists earlier had
charged the i've with being re-

culture"
An IDP statement said the i've
were suspended to insure that
members would not deviate from
the party's political course. In
East Germany both the Liberal
Democrats and the Christian
Democrats collaborate with the
Communists, who dominate the
East German government.

Failing Health, Plans
To Work Every Day
By Joy 6. Hayden
North American Newspaper Alliance

Sharply denying both by word
and appearance a published re-
port that his health had de-
Perforated since his return to
Washington, Senator Vandenberg,
of Michigan said to-
day he plans to work every day
when Congress returns next week.
Before and since his return to
the Capitol, Senator Vandenberg
has suffered from neuralgia of the
intercostal muscles of his left side.
caused by the removal of two ribs
in his lung operation 10 weeks
ago. When he lies down. this
pain does not occur, but sitting
or standing it is continually pres
ent and sometimes severe.
On this account the Michigan
Republican has continued to rest
as much as possible. The gloomy
reports as to his hsslth seem to
have arisen mainly because he has
turned away most Would-be visi-
tors.
He did confer for two hours with
Secretary of State Acheson and
yesterday went to his Capitol Of.
flee and spent four hours reading
accumulated correspondence and
debating replies. He haE not yet
had any meeting with fellow SEN
ators, but very few of these have
returned to Washington.
The Senator's physicians tell
him that his neuralgia pain Is the
usual sequel to removal of ribs
and that it will gradually subside.
Senator Vandenberg expects to
work every day, beginning next
Tuesday. but with less non -essen-
tial sitting in the Senate and a 5
pm. curfew regardless of what
may be afoot.

Wallace Commends
Brannan Farm Plan
~ the Assoeiotsd Press

Henry A. Wallace says the
Brannan farm plan "has much to
commend it, although it is OBJ
vious the Nation cannot afford it
as long as the cold war is going
full blast"
The former Vice President and
Secretary of Agriculture-who
was the Progressive Party's presi-
Dental candidate last year-gave
his views in a letter which Rep
resentative Murray, Republican,
of Wisconsin. made public today.
Mr.. Murray had written to ask
Mr.. Wallace about reports that
the former cabinet official orig
inally had proposed the program
which now carries the name OF
Secretary Of Agriculture Brannan.
Mr.. Wallace replied:
MANY phases of the Brannan
plan are similar to what I have
advocated in the past.
What I have advocated has
been parity Of income for far
mers as being even more i'm
portant than parity prices
II never came out with a pro-
gram identical with the Brannan
plan, but I may say that the
Brannan plan has much to COM
mend it although it is obvious the
Nation cannot afford it as long
as the cold war is going full blast. /"
The controversial Brannan pro-
posal. showed aside by Congress
earlier this year, would let the
prices of perishable farm prod
ucts drop to their natural market
level, with the consumer benefit
ting. The Federal Treasury would
pay farmers the difference be-
tween the market prices and an
arbitrary flair" price.
