Grange Rejects Brannan's Farm Plan Subsidy

SACRAMENTO, Calf. (F) - The National Grange has rejected the Grammar farm price support program as "an internal cancer that would ultimately destroy our free enterprise system"
 The resolution cOndemning the farm program proposed by Secre- tary of agriculture Charles F.. Grammar was a highlight of the closing session of the 12-day na- tional Grange convention Friday night.
 Delegates from 37 states took part in installing Master Albert S.. GoSs for his fifth tWo-year term just before passing the resolution which said of the Brannan plan:
 "The proposal has totally unde- sirable political implica { n S !. Clearly, under such a system, that party which would promise to farmers the largest bonus out of the treasury would garner many votes not obtainable on the basis of an honest, sound platform.
 Tt would then become race to see which party would promise most"
 The resolution said that Bran nan type of subsidy would make farmers public beggars for fair income" and destroy their char acter and self reliance.
 CThe Grammar plan, shelVed at the recent Congress, calls for full parity supports through purchas- es and loans, as at present, for corn, cotton, wheat, rice, peanuts and tobacco. For perishable pro ducts the price would be permit tedto seek it's natural level in the market place. The government would determine a flair price" in advance and then pay the produc-

The stern moral to be drawn
from the book is that mass opin-
ion on the future course of any
thing economic is almost invari-
ably wrong. Now the Federal Re-
serve has come along with a les
ser, though just as impressive
proof Of the errors of popular,
temporary judgments. In early
1916, the survey shows, the great
percentage of people thought
prices would continue to rise. One
year later there was the price
break Of early 1947. This time
the great percentage of people,
when asked their opinion of the
future, thought prices would fall.
Instead, pricesrose, so that a year
later the majority vas once again
assuming that the only direction
was up. Now, in the midst of
falling prices, S. per cent of the
people think prices will continue
to decline; only eight per cent
expect a rise. So, if past expert
ence is any guide, you can look
for a reversal trend Of the present
trend and merchants will ex-
perience a revival of buying.
CO-PILOT-There will be a lot
of fuss and feathers-and rightly
so-this summer over TWAS
twentieth anniversary of its trans
continental service. In 1929,
Transcontinental Air Transport,
daddy of Trans World Airline,
hooked up with Pennsylvania
railroad to make it possible to
travel days in the air and nights
on the rails to the continent
in the then incredible time OF 40
hours! But we wonder how many
know that perhaps the single
most important personal factor In
the lines development has been
a former co-pilot of its competi-
tor, American Airlines. That
would be Howard Hughes, who
became interested in commercial
aviation in 1882. Under the as
sumed name of Charles Howard
he talked himself into a job with
American to learn the business
from the ground up. In 1899. he

S. Department of Agriculture say.
For full, even, efficient heat
cleanliness is important. Reflect
ing surfaces must be kept shin
ing in order to do their job OF
throwing out heat. A clean range
also helps keep the kitchen clean
and free of unnecessary smoke
and odors.
The manufacturers booklet
which comes with a new range
includes advice on cleaning, but
here are some general hints on
cleaning methods.
Wipe up spills and spatters
promptly with a dry cloth or pap
er. Acid foods may eat into ena-
mel surfaces if left on. Other
foods, especially grease, may
scorch on until they are difficult
to remove except by strenuous
securing, likely to be hard on the
surface. Grease comes off most
easily when fresh and hot.
Metal and porcelain surfaces
need frequent washing with a
cloth moistened in warm suds OF
mild soap or a detergent, but
this should be done only after
the stove cools. A wet cloth on
a hot stove is a hazard to hands
and may crack enamel. Many
good housekeepers make an after
the-dishes habit Of washing the
stove. Go easy on water, the
specialists say, SO that it does not
drip or run dowr- sides or into
burners, leaving streaks or rust.
Charred particles on burners or
heating units, or in the bottom OF
the oven may be brushed out after
the stove cools. If gas burners
become clogged, they may be
cleaned with a metal hair pin or
wire.
Ovens often are reelected IN
cleaning because they are closed
and out of sight. Yet a dirty oven
ma smoke when heated so that
food cooked I'M it takes on an I'M
pleasant taste. Dilute ammonia
helps remove scorched-on grease
in ovens. Apply with a cloth. Or
set a dish holding an ammonia
soaked cloth IN a closed oven
overnight to let the fumes loosen
the soaI. Then scour lightly with
a very fine steel wool or fine
securing powder like whiting.
Leaving the oy en- open to cool
helps keep it clean and fresh and
prevents rustine from closed-m
steam.

Judge Scott Berates
Two Policemen Here
For Beating Drunk

Judge Almond w. Scott angrily
denounced two policemen yester-
day In Municipal Court for "brut-
ally beating a helpless prisoner

He made his charge against

Brooks, 80. colored. of the 900

March 26.
The policemen had testified

At that point, the policemen
testified, they struck Brooks -four
or five times" with their clubs

result Of the beating. Brooks re-
manned hospitalized for 16 days.
