ROBINSON IS TOP IN
 NATIONAL

NEW YORK, Aug. 2-tR-Nearly every week another challenger looms up to take a whirl at Jackie Robinson, but the star Brooklyn second baseman still holds wide margin in the battle for the Ma tional League batting title. Six men now have tried to dis lodge Jackie, since he took over the lead late in May, the latest being Enos Slaughter of the St. Louis Cardinals.
 Through games of last Sunday, July 31, Robinson owned a torrid 364, 36 points higher than Slaugh- ter's runnerup 1928. The Cardinals flychaser led teammate Al CRed) Schoendienst by one point.

 San Diego's Padres open a seven game series Tuesday night at Los Angeles and it should prove an interesting test of the boxoffice appeal of the injured Luke Easter.
 Last time the Harrismen played in Los Angeles-with Easter-the turnout was 6o,o2l for the week. The Sunday doubleheader then set a Wrigley Field record of 23,083. At that time, baseball writers gave Easter credit for attracting much of the turnout.

Keeping in Touch With Washingto,
Senate Split 3 Ways
Washington

RAANS Soo1 ~ ia Gil SioRo
Representative Stephen Pace of
Georgia still insists his colleagues
were wrong and he was right.
Pace, chief architect of the trial
run" plan, said in effect that unless
congress gives consumers a sop in
the form of lower retail food prices,
they eventually will rebel and pull
down the entire price support struc-
ture about the farmers head.
The Georgia Democrat argues that
political facts of life now compel
the congressional farm bloc to pay
more attention to what the nations
consumers think.
He said the bloc has lost strength
as a result of redistricting and the
flow of voters from farms to cities.
AS a result, he added, it can no
longer dictate farm policy but must
persuade congress.
NEW GRAIN STORAGE
The agriculture department
now is taking bids on 5o.oo0.-
600 bushels of new steel grain
storage bins to be located in the
midwestern grain belt. But it's
racing against time.
Some top agriculture department
officials anticipated a total corn sup
ply of about 1900, 000, 1000 bushels
next October. Total disappearance of
corn in 1949-50 is estimated at about
$3.50, 900, 900 bushels, leaving a near
1000, 900, 900 carryover.
The new bins will double the gov
ernment's present grain storage
capacity-in other words, bring it
up to 100, 600, 900 bushels. Officials
concede there will be a big gap be-
tween it's corn holdings and its
available storage space by October,
1850.
NEW HOUSING LAW
Secretary Brannan is waiting
impatientlY for congress to put
up the cash TO go ahead with the
rural housing program included
in the new housing legislation.
The statute includes authority for
a four-year government loan pro-
gram aimed at helping some $4,000
farmers repair their present homes
and buildings or construct new ones.
But Brannan can't proceed until
congress provides the cash.
While the law sets no loan limits,
they are expected to average about
$4,000. Most of the money will go to
farmers with established credit. But
some will be lent for farmers who
cannot make immediate repayment
but who promise to change their
farming methods to increase their
income.

ways on new farm legislation.
But many senators concede
privately that the upper ham
Der probably will wind up by
eventually joining the house in
voting a one-Year extension of
the present so percent price
support law.
Thus, Sen. George D. Aiken of
Vermont appears to be waging a
losing campaign for his flexible
price support law drafted by Repub-
lican farm leaders in the final hours
of the Both congress.
And the administration farm pro-
gram has absolutely NO chance this
year-regardless of what Secretary
of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan
and others say.
Chairman Elmer Thomas of the
senate agriculture committee still
talks publicly of '~rescuing" the adj
ministration's trial run" plan which
took such a shellacking in the house.
But sources close to the Oklahoma
Democrat report that he's quite pes
simistic in private.
Thomas and other administration
senators will go through the motions
of trying to put across the admins
tration plan in hopes a house-senate
conference committee can work out
an acceptable compromise.
In the clutch, those senators will
vote to continue the present high
support law rather than let the
Aiken law go into effect next jan
uary.
They probably will be strong
enough to carry the issue.
Brannan has confided to agricul-
ture department associates that the
Democrats, for political reasons, can't
afford to let the Aiken law go into
operation.
He still argue that the language
of the law obligates the government
to support farm prices BETWEEN
II and 80 percent when production
controls are in effect.
Aiken now say the law is aimed
at high-level supports and that the
72 percent was rock bottom floor
below which the secretary could
NOT go. He visualizes it as a check
rein on the department.
Brannan voiced fears, however,
that he would be criticized by the
Republicans for corresponding if he
pegged supports too high and criti-
cized by the farmers if he put them
too low.
That means strong White House
pressure on senate Democrats to vote
for the present law whenever i
comes time for the administration tx
drop the pretense that the Brannar
plan can be passed.
The Aiken law, of course, still il
NOT dead.
There's still talk of overhaulin,
that act to provide for price sup
ports at from rs to 80 percent o
parity with 80 percent guaranteed
to farmers who vote for production
controls.
Many Republicans-who feel
pride of authorship in the Alike
law-and some Democrats are push
ing that proposal.
