"We Are Americans First"

 we are Republicans" reads the statement oi seven Republican Senators. But we are Americans first It is as Americans that we express our con- cern with the growing confusion that threatens the security and stability of country Democrats and Republicans alike have contributed to that con- fusion" These are strong words well timed to meet the growing uneasiness that sees the basic unity of the country jeopardized by charges that ourun the evidence by investigations that falter by an atmo- sphere of suspicion and innuendo that spreads across an ever wider area of national life hiding rather than revealing the truth.
 Surely there is enough good sense and good faith in the various branches of the American government to permit sane inquiry into the realities of Com munis penetraton, to suspend in the best tradition of American justice final judgments until the evl- dence is in to find legal means for obtaining the security against subversion which this critical hour demands.

Christian Peace Basis Is Topic
 For Lecturer

A Christian basis for world peace and brotherhood will be the subject of public lecture by Ar thur c. Whitney of Chicago, an- nounced for Sunday evening by the First Church of Christ, Scien- tiSt.
 Formerly an Army chaplain and now a member of the Christian Science board of lectureship, Whitney is on an extended lecture tour. He will speak in the church edifice, Fifth and Main Sts. at 8:30 pm. tomorrow. His subject will be Christian Science: A Foundation for World Brother hood and Peace"
 Whitney served as chaplain with a front-line outfit during the 1918 Allied offensive in Belgium. He had been educated for machine designing, but nearly lost his sight, and then said he was ''en- tirely healed" by Christian Science treatment. This led him to study the subject more deeply, and sub seuuently he entered the practice of Christian Science healing, in which he has engaged since.
 He has lectured throughout the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and also in Europe since his appointment to the Christian Science Board of Lecturship in 1944.
 The lecture will be broadcast.

dealers in lobbying with the Ag- riculture Department was that they had bought Canadian rye and got it mixed up with Ameri- can rye. Therefore they couldn't tell which was which and wanted the department to buy both Can adian and American rye from them.
 Gus Geissler, who succeeded Trigg in charge of production and marketing, claimed to know mo- thing thing about this sudden reversal. He, said he didn't know whether the Agriculture Department was buying Canadian rye or not.
 Aren't you the one who makes | the. decision whether to buy Can adian rye?" he was asked.
 "Yes,' was the reply, but the authority is delegated"
 Meanwhile the mystery grows as to who made the decision for which a million-dollar bribe was offered and which cleaned up many millions for spectators.
 Note-Secretary of Agriculture Brannan has been in Europe.
 Senator Wiley's French
 The eight Senators who travelled with genial Alexander Wiley thru Europe recently are still telling their colleagues about Wiley's use of French.
 The Wisconsin Senator could say "parlez vous" and "merci,' , but he couldn't seem to work his words into the right places. Being from Wisconsin, naturally he knew the French word for butter = "beurre."
 But ordering breakfast at the Hotel Bristol in Paris, Wiley boomed out in English, Boy! boy!' and started giving his order to the scurrying French waiter.
 Your room numbaire, s'il vous plaint,". the waiter kept repeating.
 T don't want any butter" pro- tested Wiley, apparently confus- ing "baire" with "beurre."
 Senator Gillette finally broke in and explained, "he wants to know your room number"
 Well, why didn't he say SOP thundered Wiley. Doesn't any body speak United States around here?"

ficial provided he would buy Canadian rye.
 The official is Ralph Trigg, for mer chief of the Agriculture De- partments production and mar keting division, who was eased out of the department this spring largely because of the feud be- tween Grammar and his ex-boss, Sen. Clinton Anderson of New Ena&lexiceA NNIsA 1-7->Si
 Trigg came to Anderson, white faced to tell him about the mil lion-dollar bribe offer to get him to change the ban on Canadian rye and include it in the huge shipments we are making to Eur ope.
 Questioned by this column, Trigg refused to reveal the name of the man who he admitted had said it would be worth million dol lars" to the rye spectators if he would change his mind about buy ing Canadian rye.
 Trigg also admitted that if he had given the word on Canadian rye, he probably could have col lected the million dollars. His word on rye purchases, he said, was fi- nal. He also said he had attended a conference with Secretary Bran nan at which two Senators urged him to buy Canadian rye, and that Grammar turned down the Sena- tors and backed him up.
 Rye Ban Reversed
 The shocking thing, however, is that almost immediately after Trigg left the Agriculture Depart ment his successors reversed his position and began buying huge quantities of Canadian rye.
 This did two things.
 It meant millions to the big spectators who had been buying up Canadian rye on the gamble that they would lobby the De- partment into changing it's ban.
 2.It meant discrimination against American farmers who grow rye.
 Experts agree that there was ann pie American rye on hand to meet European shipments. These are made under the Marshall plan to Germany and Austria which use rye bread.
 Furthermore, the purchase of Canadian rye was really means of undermining the U. s. price support system for the benefit of the big spectators. What they did was buy Canadian rye-which has no price support, bring it into the United States, then sell it in a country which has price sup ports. Thus by buying low in Can- ada and selling high here, they made a killing.
 Figures on government rye pur- chases since Secretary Grammar reversed Trigg's ban on Canadian rye show why it was worth mil lion dollars to get this reversal.
 For rye purchases suddenly shot up. During the 12 months ending June 30, the Agriculture Depart ment purchased about 3,7OO,OOC bushels of rye for ECA. But over one-third of this was purchased in April, May, and Juqe- after the han on Canadian rye was lif- ted.
 Simultaneously, imports from Canada also shot up. Of 100000 bushels imported from Canada during the l2-month period end ing June 30, approximately l,o00,- OCO bushels came in during June. Obviously, this bears out Trigg' s fear that, once the Canadian ban was lifted, rye would start pour ing into the United States.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May 28 --lR The Florida House of Representa- tives was asked today to impeach Soy. Fuller Warren on grounds that he wilfully disregarded his duties and ignored evidences of lawless- less' in this free-spending vacation state.
 Rep. George Okell of Miami, until recently one of Warren's stout po- litical supporters. introduced the resolution calling for impeachment of the governor on 10 counts of alleged misdemeanors in office.
 All of them involved complaints that have been made publicly abou' the governor = about his campaign expenditures. the conduct of 4ia racing commission. his reinsta3e- nent of three busted sheriffs, And ais attitude toward the Flor3da yambliing situation.
 A two-thirds vote of the Hahse would immediately suspend the gov ernor from office and Senate Pres ident Wallace E. Sturgis, would taks over his duties. The state Senate would then, within six months, con- duct trial of the governor.
