THE BRANNAN PLAN

In November 1948, the CIO proposed that the govern
ment discontinue farm price SUPPORTS that farm prices be
permitted to fall below parity with the u treasury MAX
ing the difference Six months later the Truman ad
mnisraton took the hint and the Brannan Plan born
Since then has had tough shedding Every major farm
organization the country has recognized the scheme for
what it isa brazen attempt to completely regiment the
farmer and to obtain unlimited power agricultural pro-
duction The farmer would be told how many of
wheat cotton he may plant how many eggs cab
bages potatoes he may sell and when The cost of this
castc program has been variousy estimated from SIS
billion to So billion year.
One would think that in the face of such determined
opposition from the agricultural communities and from the
farmers friends Congress- President Truman would aba-
this un-American proposal But the president stub
born man. Opposition enhances that subborness and he
is now to jam the Brannan Plan down the farmers
throat, whether the farmer likes it not.
Thousands of dollars of government money are being
spent to propagandize for the plan An instance of this
waste of government funds occurred in ST. Paul. Mnn
Gently Five thousand Minnesota farm committeeman of
the agriculture departments production and marketing v
sion virtually ordered to attend ST. Paul meeting at
which Secretary Brannan spoke in favor of his farm plan
and in condemnation of the American farm bureau fedora
ton which vigorously opposing the plan These commit
teemen promised regular pay and travel allowances
That meeting alone is estimated have cost from 900
to 100000 of the taxpayers money.
But it is humble opinion that it will take than
squanderng of the public funds to sell the Brannan plan

Now back to the CIO report We know from experience
that our members employed by government agencies such

While on this point Mr. Truman said the following at

And here follows of the CIO report: "This

And the Dam Site Harry laughed this off as he
expressed opposite opinion: "The benefits of public

TIE POET's CORNER
MOUNTAIN MOTHER

Her birthplace was mountain cove
Set in rustic buckeye grove.
In youth, lover came to WOO:
Would she live on the avenue?
But in her heart she failed to find
A place for other than her kind;
So, married him who owned hound
And titled bit of mountain ground
Their home was one where children grew
And when the growing days were through,
She watched them 60, as young folks WILL
To places which their strength could fill.
Though widowed, now, while others roam
She still maintains her mountain home.
Her hair rejects pathetic white
And keeps intact its auburn light.
No wrinkles advertise her fears;
Her shoulders plump at eighty years
She plays the fiddle, feeds the hound
And bravely tills her bit of ground
.- Mary Oliphant Young

the wisdom of the theory that the
President should have such an im-
portant voice in the policies of
these semi-legislative and semi
judicial commissions. | felt this
particularly in the case of the
FEC, which controls the radio
stations and has tried to exercise
control over programs. Once the
President has appointed the men,
bers of these commissions, l be-
lieve they should be entirely inde-
pendent in their enforcement OF
the laws made by Congress. The
efficiency to be gained in admin
istration seems to me small COM
pared to the danger of Presiden-
tial and political domination.
did not feel so strongly In
the case of the boards other than
the FEC, because their func-
tions do not ordinarily involve
political questions.
THE plans approved do not gen.
orally purport to save any
money, but only to promote eff
cheney. One exception probably is
the Maritime Commission, whose
administration has been much SUBJ
ject to criticism and has appar-
emily resulted in wasteful expen-
ditures in large amount. / feel that
the transfer of the administrative
functions to the Department of
Commerce may well effect SUBJ
stantial savings, always assuming
that the Secretary really wishes
to save money.
I voted against one plan which
was approved, the transfer of the
powers of the Commissioner Of
Patents to the Secretary of Com
merce. The Patent Office has al
ways been independent. Its func-
tions are largely judicial in deter
mining the validity of patents. 1t
has been in the Department Of
Commerce, but I see no reason
why we should give the Secretary
of Commerce power to pass on the
validity of patents himself. The
plan, however, was approved, and
the Secretary of Commerce says he
will delegate the power right back
to the Commissioner of Patents,
so that no harm can be done under
his Administration. But we may
all remember that Henry Wallace
was once Secretary of Commerce!
The statutes and plans so far
approved are said to carry out
IS per cent Of the Hoover Com
mission recommendations. Most
of those which save money have
not yet been submitted. They
will produce a much more
strenuous battle than anything
we have seen.

SOCIAL SECURITY

The senate committee has
amended the social security bill
passed by the house to put the
social security program on a pay
as-you-go basis-a princip e
which l have advocated for many
years. One of the great advan-
tages of such a plan is the elm
ination of huge social security re-
serves. Today the social security
reserve is more than eleven bill
lion dollars, practically all of
which has been loaned to the
government. In another thirty or
forty years the reserve could
amount to some two hundred
billion dollars, all of which would
be represented by debt. The pres
ent system collects a tax from
the employee and employer.
When person gets old enough
to retire, the money must again
be collected in taxes from all the
people. 1t is much better to col
lect the tax and pay it direct
to people reaching retirement
age.
Another advantage of this sys-
tenn will be greater equality
among the states. In 1949 old age
pensions in Colorado averaged
$75.01, for each person receiving
them. In Mississippi the average
was $l8.87 and in Ohio the aver
age was $46.76. Generally it costs
more to live in Ohio than it does
in Colorado. Living costs may
vary in the different states, but
certainly the great differences in
benefits paid now to older people
are unfair.
Aid to dependent children is
also unjust under the present
system. The average payment for
dependent children in the state
of Mississippi is $26.56. The aver
age in the state of Washington is
$134.01; or five times as much
as in Mississippi. The average in
Ohio is $60.34, or much less than
one-half paid in the state of
Washington.
The same unfairness exists in
aid to the blind. Kentucky pays
an average blind pension of
$22.83. The average in California
is $82.59. The average in Ohio is
$44.56, or just a little more than
one-half the amount paid in
California.
The amount paid in each state
depends upon the state itself. The
social security system on pay
as-you-go basis is the safest and
best way for the workers of the
United States and ! hope the
house will accept this change
made by the senate.

With the month Of June here,
our thoughts naturally turn to
weddings and brides. Whether
you will be in the bridal parade
this month or among the guests,
your appearance will be all-im-
portant on that festive occasion.
The dress you will be wearing
on that special day should be
one that is gay and will give you
radiant look Among the cur
rent crop of such dresses, WI
have found several made Of or
CANDY and voile that look like
they were made to order for you.
If you are to be one of the
guests, it might be wise idea
to buy one of the newest crea-
tions that double as an extreme
ly dressy garment and then lead
a double life as new short for
NAL, later in the summer.

With the change to lighter
color clothes for warm weather,
a change in makeup is also nee
essary. If you tan easily that is
wonderful, but if not, there are
many new kinds of makeup on
the market to enhance your nat
ural look. The important thing to
remember is to have your cos
metics fitted to you, as though
you were having a suit of clothes
custom-tailored. Darkly outlined
eyes may look glamorously mys-
terious in the fashion magazines
but what will your mirror re-
veal about the subject?
A very practical little make
up kit to go with summer cot
tons is now on the market. 1t is
made of heavy visca cloth Git
has the color and texture of
straw that you can carry in the
palm of your hand, in your
purse, or slip casually into your
pocket. This case is outfitted
with powder, compact, lipstick,
comb-and is washable, too.
Good news for beachcombers:
great terry cloth stole to snug
gle in when you're wet or chilly;
and. as a footnote. a pair of ter
ry cloth scuffs with leather soles.
Top off your summer ward
robe with a new silk print scarf.
Tie these colorful kerchiefs un-
der your chin TO protect your
hair for that convertible jaunt,
or tuck them into your jacket to
form ascots. Theae hand-rolled

clans hat has rabbitsl

flying the Taft Hartley Law, which
separated the prosecuting and
judicial functions of the Board.
Another plan, No. /, abolished
the Office of the Comptroller Of
the Currency, and was disap-
proved because the Secretary of
the Treasury did not desire these
additional powers, and the Ma
tional banks who pay all the ex-
penses of the Comptroller's exam
ination felt very strongly that he
should remain independent.
Plan No. 4 was disapproved be-
cause it did not carry out the re-
organization of the Department of
Agriculture recommended by the
Hoover Commission. 1t granted
complete discretionary power to
Secretary Brannan to make any
reorganization he might desire.
/ think Congress feels that
Secretary Brannan Is a very
political Secretary of Agricul-
ture and it does not have any
confidence that a reorganization
made by him would necessarily
carry out the ideas of Congress
or of the Hoover Commission.
Congress, 1 think, would ap-
prove a plan following the Hoo
yer report.
THE other two plans disapproved
related to the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
Like other plans relating to inde-
pendent regulatory commissions,
they proposed to transfer all the
executive and administrative pow
ers of the Board to the chairman
of the Board, such chairman to be

Seneca Lake will make its tel

at $50 via George Robey's out
door show on a Columbus TV
station. Cameramen were at the
lake Saturday, recording on film
several scenes around the boat
landing and scenic areas. For the
occasion, Henry Koontz, the
creel census man, brought in a
nice mess of crappies. Several
other anglers were caught by
the movie cameras as they pulled
into the boat landing.
Each year the lake seems to
attract people from greater dis
anceS. During the long Memorial
Day weekend, sportsmen from
Washington, D. c., Arlington,
Va, Little Rock, Ark, Houston,
Texas, Frederickstown, Md, and
Memphis, Tenn, brought nom
resident licenses. Many of these
