is THIS A FREE ELECTION?
(The PHILADELPHIA Evening Bulletin)

If you walked into a polling place and were

a list of candidates with a threat of what would
happen to you you didn't vote for this particular
slate, what would you think?
The probability is that you'd begin to believe
this was one of Russia's free elections
Yet it's being done by the Department of Agri-
culture in this country.
Pennsylvania potato growers during their recent
mail vote on whether to accept support prices and
controls had exactly that experience.
Along with each ballot they got a handout
which tried to frighten them with tales about how
markets had collapsed in States which had voted
down controls and how the government was holding
the market up in States which had accepted them
That was an appeal to the purse strings. Another
handout struck at the heartstrngs It pointed out
that 100000 school children in Pennsylvania last
year received free potatoes in school lunches This
program, said the propaganda provided an expand
e0 outlet for farm products last year and the share
OF local farmers and distributors in this growing
market amounted to almost $4OOO,OOO"

PEOPLE LIKE TO SEE THE
PRESIDENT

Miss Miriam L. Garth a lady OF
so years of age came to Washington
from San Francisco and made a
proper effort to see the president
of her country.
She was refused admission to the
White House. Some smart officials
arrested her and accused her of be-
ing insane. But Miss Garth went to
court and jury tried the case and
found her not guilty of insanity.
A big two column headline in fhe
Washington Post read: "Jurv
Rules You're not Crazy to Attempt
to See the President"
Miss Garth testified that during
her stay at the Congressional Hotel
she was told that President Tru-
man often talked to passers-by on
his morning walk to the Blair
House. President Truman never
has been accused, even by his worst
political enemies of being one Of
