Inmates that legislation sponsored
BY Hubert Humphrey would cost
around $22 billion" The Brannon
Farm Plan Of Subsidized payments

half TO three billion dollars the

20 the two and one-half billions
being proposed in the ECA pro-
gram for the purchase Of agri-

Hope says, by 1858, II the pro-
gram was carried out as outlined,
it would cost In the neighborhOod
Of from 10 to 20 billion dollars"
When we accept the Brannan pro-
gram, we accept the principle Of
food subsidies. Of high producers
prices, low consumers prices, and
the Government making up the
difference out Of money from the
federal treasury. The economics
Of the Brannap plan remind this
writer Of the senatorial campaign
Of Hubert Humphrey. He would
hop out TO talk to he farmers
and assure them he was all for
holding up high farm prices. Then
he would hop back to town, grace
the rOstrum Of a local labor tenn
pie and assure the city workers
that he would nash another Hum

The commissioner told The

buildings are definitely detri-

The cost OF maintenance and

year OF operation. I'm all for
getting them out OF here. Along

Certainly those on the Mall
which concentrate a relatively

II Is not good city planning. The
life OF q temporary building Ii

u. 5. Arranging
First Talks in
Building Strike
Exploratory Session.
First Since Outbreak
Of Tieup, Is Sought

Inc nrst negotiation meeting
since the buildings trade strike be-
gan six days ago was being ar
ranged today by James A. Holden,
Federal Cancellation commissioner.
Mr.. Holden said he hoped to get
the Carpenters District Council
and Master Builders Association
together today or tomorrow for
an exploratory" conference.
There was no indication that
either side was ready to recede
from the strike-provoking de-
mands. B. B. Blackburn, secre-
tary treasurer of the carpenters
council. said:
I'VE have never refused to meet.
But If they tthe builders) still
have the same attitude. 1t will only
be lost time"
Mr.. Holden also was interested
In calling together Building La
bofers' Local IA and the builders
for another look at their differ
ences. The laborers struck last
Thursday for Is cents an hour, a
day after the carpenters went out
for an additional 10 cents.
15,000 on Jobs.
Altogether upward of $4,000
construction workers were said to
be either striking or idled by
strikes tying up 500 ,000, 900 in
commercial and Government con-
struction.
Mr.. Blackburn said the carpen-
tiers had signed up three or four
more contractors this morning."
He claimed more than 80 "inde-
pendents" had signed for the To-
cent increase. The Master Build
ers have A members and claim
they are putting up about IS per
cent Of the struck projects.
Another strike, that of 100
salesmen-drivers for four pie
companies. showed no signs of
breaking up. Spokesman for both
the pie companies and the Bakery
Salesmen's Local 80 were standing
pat on their demands. The union
wants a 81 weekly base pay in
crease.
Milk Drivers Ask Raise.
In another phase Of the baking
trade picture, Bakers Union 11S
was continuing contract talks with
the struck pie companies. The
union represents nearly 200 plant
workers who were idled by the
strike Of the pie wagon drivers.
In still another labor tangle,
the ALT Milk Drivers and Dairy
Employees Local 246 were asking
all the major diaries except High
land Farms for an across the
board" wage increase for l,57s
retail and wholesale drivers and
plant workers.
Eugene Hubbard. heading the
union negotiators, said the drivers
wished to- settle without a strike,
but that all conditions have been
met preparatory to a strike If the
membership deemed it advisable.
Laborers' Officers Reelected.
The union had two-year con-
tract, ending June 6, 1850, but
providing for a reopening on
wages. That phase of the con-
tract expires at midnight.
Members of Building Laborers
Local "a gave their officers q vote
of confidence by re-electing the
entire slate at an election held
Saturday, Henry Thomas. the
president, was elected over James
Kimbro by vote of 1872 to IS.

that "the laborers have closed
ranks and will present a solid
front to the contractors In ensu-
ing efforts to secure a justified
wage increase"

.PBA Chief Fovors Practical
Plan on Temporary BUILDINGS

I'VE haven't any place else TO
put them around here.
AT the present time We have
demands for several hundreds OF
thousands OF square feet Of space
from Government agencies. This
Ia far more than We can supply.
AS for the temporary buildings,
I would certainly like to clear up
the view from the Lincoln Memo
rial and along the Mall.
Il am strongly OF the opinion
We should soon begin taking the
temporary buildings out OF Wash
ington."
Construction of the new Gen
eral Accounting once at Fifth
and r streets NV. and OF the
new Federal Court Building at
John Marshall place and consti-
tuition avenue NV. will ease the
space situation somewhat. But IL
will be only drop in the ptieket"
In the overall picture. officiAls
said. And it will oe around three
years before they are completed.
Assistant Commissioner Harry
@. Hunter OF the Public Buildings
Administration. said the General
Accounting Once occupies the old

square and rented space. ~ well
as the old Post once Department
building. at Eleventh street ana
Pennsylvania avenue NV. After
the new GAO building is con-
structed. the pension building and
other structures viii be available
for some one else.
But the pressure for space Ia
ever on. Mr.. Hunter pointed out,
and from time To time Congress
sets UP q brand-new agency. for
which space must be speedily
found. The Economic co-opcrn-
ton Administration was o case tn
point. The National Labor R.ia-
tons Board was increased because
OF the Taft-Hartiey Act. And
other government agencies have
varying needs.
And 10. MIR. Hunter pointed out.
there is an ever-shiftinT spacc de-
nand here by the Federal Gov
eminent. He never expects 10 zee

for shout . million square feet
of floor space. which PEA does

said. why the temporary buildings
cannot be torn down Immediately.
