Gov. Dewey Orders

Veterans Groups Insist
$4,000 Will March in

BY the Associoted Press

ALBANY. N. Y. Sept. 3.-Gov
Dewey today ordered all available
State police" into the Peekskiil
area tomorrow to prevent disorder
at what he called a "pro-Commu-
mist meeting" at a Paul Robson
concert tomorrow afternoon.
The Governors action came
shortly before a Federal judge in
New York City refused to act on
an application seeking to restrain
veterans from staging a protest
parade against the recital.
The performance is scheduled
to be held only a mile from the
spot where demonstrating veterans
prevented Robson from appearing
last Saturday. A bloody riot
ensued.
Federal Judge John w. Clancy
ruled that his court had no au-
thority to grant an Injunction
against the parade. The restrain
ing order was sought by the self
styled "Westchester Committee for
Law and Order" sponsors of the
concert.
Sheriff Requested Aid.
The governor said he ordered
the extra troopers at the request
of the Westchester County Sheriff
Fred w. Ruscoe, but added that
he was holding the sheriff and

Gov. Dewey said the State po-

Brannan Warns
HeMayAbandon
Potato Support
Will Stop Payments
Unless Farmers Vote
For Market Controls
BY the Associoted Press

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan told Congress today that he
plans to remove Government price
supports from Irish potatoes un-
less farmers agree to control mar
keting and production.
| Mr.. Brannan wrote Chairman
Elmer Thomas of the Senate Agri-
culture Committee of his plan to
end the price props in order ito
avoid waste and loss to the Gov
ernment"
Mr.. Brannan's letter noted that
growers of California early pota-
toes. which are marketed between
April l and July Is. had rejected
proposed Federal marketing
agreement in a referendum the
last 10 days of June.
Pending Bill Not Mentioned.
These marketing agreements
and orders usually operate on a
State or area basis. Before be-
coming effective they must be ap-
proved by two-thirds of the farm
ers or producers. Under them the
quality and quantity of products
sent to market are regulated in an
effort to get farmers good mar
ket price. If this fails the Gov
ernment steps in and buys the
product at support levels.
Mr.. Brannan said he intends to
deny Government price supports
to the California early potatoes
next year and in subsequent years.
unless potato growers there accept
the marketing and planting con-
trolls.
But in doing so, he took no
notice of a compromise flexible
price support bill now pending be-
fore the Senate. 1t would continue
government price supports for
Irish potatoes near existing levels.
Mr.. Brannan informed Senator
/ Thomas that he believes he now
has authority to remove these
supports, if growers reject con-
trolls, both under the existing farm
law and a delayed flexible sup
port program. The latter, known
as the Aiken Act because OF its
sponsor, Senator Aiken, Republi-
can, of Vermont, is scheduled to
go into operation on January l
unless Congress passes substitute
legislation. 49,
| Cost S224,200,000 in Year.
In lengthy and detailed
analysis of Government price
supports for potatoes. Mr.. Bran
nan said the total cost was tre-
mendous' in 1948. resulting in a
Government outlay of 1924, zoe, 900
for this one crop.
There is little doubt that the
program will encounter much
criticism if it results in extensive
commodity waste" he added.
The Secretary said the surpluS
of potatoes amounted to 133,-
600 900 bushels last year. after
surpluses of 34,200,000 bushels in
1947 and 07,800,000 bushels in
1916.
He said that little time remains
to work out marketing agree
ments and orders for the rest OF
this year, but that lin areas where
such programs are feasible, eligi-
bility for price support will be
conditioned on having appropriate
marketing agreements and orders
in effect and in operation"
He added that the Potato Coun-
Gil, major farm organizations and
"all important commercial patato-
producing areas" agree that sup
ports should depend upon controls.
But Mr.. Brannan said that In
the past farmers who failed to
cooperate with marketing and
planting agreements had bene-
fitted along with those who CO.
operated. This was unfair, he.
added, in announcing the new
policy of no controls, no supports.
