New Price Supports
For Farm Products
Predicted by Brannan

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan today told the Agricultural
Outlook Conference that price
supports may be used by the Gov
ernment to expand agricultural
production needed in the defense
program.
Abundant production is required,
he said, to feed $50 million Amer
leans, to set up strategic reserves.
to provide for the military forces
and to share with friendly nations
in need of help.

ing of the 28th annual meeting of

and business outlook for the COM

Meat, Milk, Eggs, Specified.
The Secretary said 1--WE need the
assurance of (price) supports for
products like meat, milk and
eggs" He added that I'VE know
from experience these periods Of
high purchasing power bring in
creasing consumer demand for
such perishables.'

Presidents Council Of Economic
Advisors, told the delegates that
taxes would go higher as the Gov
ernment doubles its defense ex-
penditures and seeks to combat
imitation.

The speaker said that the total
cost of the defense effort should
be paid out of current revenues
on a "pay-as-we-go" basis.
However. he predicted that
influential groups once again will
see other ways of financing the
defense effort through borrowing"
I'VE either bear the taxation or
bear the imitation" the admins
tration economist declared.

should be the resolve of the ad-

the public:
Extensive price rises shall not
happen again"

Distinguished Guests Entertain Rotary Club

Continued from Page One) was here to see that the safety program of his department was carried out.
 The main speaker of the meet ing was Father Hubbard. we'll known "Glacier Priest" who ex- plained his stand on Statehood. He stated that he was strong ad- vocate for State and has always been, but was definitely opposed to HB. 331, as he did not consider it as good as prohibition beer"
 "Did you know," he said, "that HB. 331 would give Alaska six tenths of one per cent of its lands for State control, and 99.4% would be federally controlled?"
 As it is, he explained, Califor- mia is now 51R federally-control- led and Idaho 84%, which is bad enough, and he is glad that he was able to defeat this bill.
 The new bill, he states, is much better and he does not expect it to pass this session, which he thinks is all for the good as still more and better provisions can be added before the next session of Congress.
 When Alaska becomes state, he added, "I want it to hold its head high in the air and be proud of its statehood, rather than be a politi- cal slave state, as it would have been had HB. 331 not been shelv- ed"
 High class altruistic men such as Anthony Diamond and Bob Bartlett, he explained wanted to see statehood of any kind, just so that Alaska could make a start, but Father Hubbard felt that in his opinion this is contrary to the way the Federal Government works and once it has taken the land it would be hard to get it back again.
