Dawson Supports
Presidents Veto

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
Representative William L. Daw-
son, Democrat, of Illinois, last
Friday changed his mind and voted
to sustain President Truman's
veto of the Communist-control
bill.
Representative Adam c. Powell,
Democrat, of New York, did not
vote on the question of sustain
ing the Presidents veto, nor did
he vote on passage of the bill.
The House last Friday voted,
286 to 48, to override the Presi-
dents veto, and the Senate last
Saturday did likewise by a vote
of 81 to 10. A two-thirds vote
was required in both houses to
override the veto.
Mr.. Dawson had voted for the
bill on August %, when the House
passed it by vote of 259 to 20.
After voting to sustain the veto
last Friday, Mr.. Dawson said he
had changed his mind, after CIV
ing the bill deep thought, because
too many misguided colored per-
sons were being branded as Com
munist sympathizers for joining
some left-wing organization or at
tending an affair given by such an
organization.
The new law will require all
Communist organizations to reg
ister with the Justice Department
within thirty days. Communist
controlled and Communist-front or
ganizations will also have to list
their members and Communist
front groups their officers. Com
munists not covered in such list
ings are required to register in
dividually within sixty days.
The law also bars Communists
from government and defense
plant jobs. The Defense Secretary
is authorized to list the plants
and other facilities from which
Communists would be excluded.
Other major sections provide for
Communists and other subversives
to be rounded up and interned
in case of war or invasion, and
tighten up existing immigration,
deportation and espionage laws.
It was necessary to break a

on the veto. The filibuster lasted
from 6:25 p.m., last Friday, until
1:55 pm. last Saturday. Senators
who participated in the filibuster
said they were directed from the
White House. The White House
confirmed that President Truman
had talked with the filibusters by
phone, but said he had simply told
them to use their own judgment
on strategy.
Senator William LANCER, Repub-
lican of North Dakota, collapsed
early last Saturday morning after
holding the floor for more than
five hours.
After voting to override the
Presidents veto, the Senate wound
up it's other business, and then

Md. Farms Hold
Value; Others
Show Big Drops

For the country as a whole,
farm real estate values declined
6-per cent, during 1949 the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics of the
Department of Agriculture reports,
but Maryland was one of the few
States where farm real estate
values did not drop. West Vir-
ginia farms dropped an average
of 10 per cent in value; Virginia
farm land went down 5 per cent,
and Delaware showed slump of
2 per cent, as compared with No
vember, 1948. Only five states
showed an increase, and only one
New Jersey-more than 2 per cent
above 1913.
Maryland farms that sold for
500 an acre in the base period
1912-14-sold both last year and
this for $204. Virginia land that was
worth 500 in 1922 was selling
for $243 in 1913 and only $3.50
this year. The index for West
Virginia dropped from S155 last
year to $139 this year; Delaware
from $163 to $3.50.
The bureau said trends in farm
product prices are likely to be an
important factor influencing val
ues in various areas this year.
The effects of various Govern
ment) control and price support
measures likely to be operating in
1850 will be to prevent a sharp
decline in farm prices and prevent
as sharp a drop in land values
as might occur without controls,
the bureau said, but these effects
are likely to vary from area to
area, the agency said.
A gradual reduction in the
amount of funds available for pur-
chase of farms and a more conser-
vative lending policy being adopted
by many lenders, are two of the
major developments in the land
market, the bureau said.
