under better control during ses-
sions Of the General Assembly.
The Council-Interim Commit

agreement that persons who seek
to influence votes have to be
watched pretty closely. They also
agreed that those same lobbyists
are often help to the legislators.
Measures given preliminary ap-
proval would: Require lobbyists
and their employers to report fees
and expenses; provide for stand

lobbyists and employers: provide
for issuance Of credentials to reg
|istered lobbyists, and require reg

before the Council.

that State officials be required
to stick to measures affecting
their departments, and that a
joint General Assembly Commit
tee be named to keep a close check
on lobbyists.

four groups and gave these
definitions:

Senators WONDERING
# Truman Is Takinq
Hand in Farm Bill Row

Senators were wondering yes
terday whether President Truman
is taking a hand in a heated dis
pute among Democrats over the
Federal farm program for next
year.
They said Senator Anderson,
!. Democrat, of New Mexico, former
Secretary of Agriculture and spon-
, sor of a compromise Senate farm
price-support bill, was one Of the
unidentified guests along for a
week end yacht trip with the
President.
Meanwhile, Chairman Elmer
Thomas of the Senate Agriculture
Committee who came out Friday
: against the Anderson bill. unex-
: pectedly called for testimony on it
tomorrow.
~ Senator Thomas sent out tele-
grams yesterday inviting heads of
major farm organizations and
three top labor leaders-William
~ Green Of the AFL, Philip Murray
of the CIO and John L. Lewis of
the United Mine Workers-to tell
Senators what they think of the
Anderson compromise.
! Wire Sent to Brannan.
J A telegram also went to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Brannan in
viting him to appear or send a
representative.
National farm groups asked to
testify include the Farm Bureau,
Grange, Farmers Union, milk pro-
ducers and co-operatives council.
Mr.. Brannan, who has failed to
win either House or Senate sup
port for his own farmer subsidy
program, sharply criticized the
Anderson compromise bill this
week end in a letter Senator
Thomas made public.
Secretary Brannan, despite his
setback in Congress, has been
making frequent speeches in sup
port Of his own farm program.
Under it, the market prices of
perishable farm products-meats,
fruits. vegetables and dairy prod
ucts-would be allowed to reach
their own levels without Govern
ment price-supports. Mr.. Bran
nan said farmers could collect
production payments
from the Government If these
are required to keep incomes at
fixed levels.
Would Allow Props to Decline.
Senator Anderson's bill would
retain the price props for major
farm products at near existing
levels next year, but would allow
these supports to decline later if
surpluses developed.
The House-passed plan that
Chairman Thomas now is backing
would retain the existing rigid
high-level supports for another
year.

session ends. a flexible price sup
port program. voted by Congress
