GOMEZ"
One nationally known politician
said that If the Brannan bill be-
came law and labor beat Senator
Taft of Ohio in 1850. he would be
ready to throw in the sponge for
the Republican Party.
But few Republicans have any
real optimism that the farmer
sees it their way. Some hope to
arouse farm opposition by a sus-
tanned campaign of warnings that
the Brannan bill will mean the loss
of personal freedom. Others frank
ly say they will have to accept
whatever the farmers choose to
do. A few say, what the hell. the
farmers will grumble but give them
two-dollar wheat and they'll sign
on the dotted line.
Want to Know More About II.
A voice from the wheat roots
says that farmers aren't against
the Brannan bill. but they do
want to know more about 1t.
The voice is that of Herb w,

tisan Western Kansas Develop
ment Association at Garden City

tative Hope. ranking Republican
of the House Agriculture Com
mittee.
TURNER'S here resented the
fiat-footed attack on the bill by
Allen Kline. president Of the
Farm Bureau Federation, Mr..
Hoover asserted. Farmers intend
to study it and they'll decide
what they think.
Secretary Brannan's proposal
for a trial run In hogs according
to the principles of the new bill
met with favor" Mr.. Hoover said.
He explained that his was not hog

in one commodity made sense to
farmers.

clude virtually the whole Truman

aggerating very much about the
power Of insurance agents when
he boasts:

unique opportunity to serve, and
perhaps. save ourselves while

Proved Potency Before.
They have proved their political
potency before. Insurance Is, in
deed. one Of the most powerful of
lobbies operating here because Of
the great financial and economic
power Of this industry that rami-
fies into 50 many others.
Insurance, utilities and rail-
roads. which have been among the

None Of this should be taken
TO mean that we would be in
juring our own interests by en-
tering a reasonable agreement
on Berlin itself, for the airlift is
very expensive and as long as 1t
lasts there can be no real attack
on the fundamental problems Of
Germany. We can certainly af-
ford to attend a new foreign min
listers council meeting and call of
our own counterblockade If the
Russians do likewise.
What we should understand,
however. is that the Russians
oyertures on the blockade are no
guarantee Of more amicable at
titude on the whole range Of is
sues which divide East and West,
but rather may be setting the
stage for an even more aggressive
Russian effort to have their way
on those matters.

velopments on Berlin should not
be permitted to carry over into
the realm of issues on Germany

While welcoming every true and

be on guard against new Russian
attacks wherever they may fall.

NOTHING LOST IN
LONG RUN, SAY
MINERS

Union miners about here take
rather dim view of newspaper
articles that pulrport to show the
total losses in wages and produc-
ton caused by the late coal
strike.
Figures by the Associated Press
state that coal operators in South
west Virginia lost a gross income
of 100000. These figures are
based on the assumption that the
mines would have run steadily
38 days during the strike period.
The miners say that in the long
run they haven't lost a days work
or dollar in wages. They figure
that there is demand for only
so much coal anyway. Lost pro-
duction will be made up in the
weeks to come. And the miners
may come out better as result
of the strike. They are now work
ing overtime-ten hours day
and six days a week. A steady run
and overtime will more than
make up what they have lost in
wages.
There will be short pay day
early in December and full pay
day a few days before Christmas.
Merchants are banking on the
full pay day to boost Christmas
sales.
