Farm Price Support Attacks

Secretary OF Agriculture Bran
nan and Chairman Maybank of
the Senate committee handling
iwage-price control legislation
promised in separate statements
yesterday to fight attacks on price
supports for farm products.
Secretary Brannan, speaking at
a conference of agricultural mobi-
lization committees at Des Moines,
Iowa. urged farmers to increase
their acreage of corn. He de-
clared that sin price arrangements
the farmer viii not be. penalized
for producing abundantly."
Senator Maybank, Democrat of
South Carolina, in a statement
that appeared to herald farm
bloc drive in Congress to prevent
tampering with the parity pro-
gram, said here last night he
would oppose any Administration
move to freeze farm parity as a
method of curbing food prices.
There has been an outrageous
campaign waged to deceive and
fool the people of the United
States to have them believe that
parity prices are largely RESPONSE
BILE for imitation" he said.
Parity Freeze Under Study.
Government Stabilization Off
cials repeatedly are considering
such a parity freeze. 1t would re-
quire new legislation. Defense
Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson told
Senator Maybank's watchdog"
committee last week that stabili-
zation agencies have been working
on a plan to alter the parity
method.
Parity is a flexible formula de-
signed to give farmers a fair re-
turn in relation to the price of
industrial items they use. The
present law prohibits price control
on farm commodities before they
reach the parity level. There have
been unofficial reports that sta
bilization authorities might sug-
gest a parity freeze at the Jan
uary Is level.

Plan 10 Offer New Deal
To Iran on Oil Control
By the Associated Press

LONDON, April Uniformed
sources report the United States
has advised Britain to offer Iran
a new deal aimed at keeping Per-
sian oil flowing to the West.
The American plan, these sources
said, would:
i. Satisfy Trans desire for
naturalization of the rich oil con-
cession now held by the Brit
tsh government-controlled Anglo
Iranian Oil Co.
Q. Leave the British oil company
in control of actual production,
refining and sale of the oil on a
contract or partnership basis with
the Iranian government. This
would be in line with a $3.50
prof1t-Sharing plan between COM
panies and governments proposed
by the United States for the whole
Middle East area.
Discussion Scheduled.
The sources said a full discussion
OF the American proposal is sched-
uled at British-American talks in
Washington next week.
Godfrey w. Furlonge, chief of
the British Foreign Offices Near
East department: Victor Butler.
undersecretary of the fuel and
air power ministry. and treasury
officials will participate.
They will advise British Am
bassador Sir Oliver Franks, in
talks with Assistant Secretary of
State George McGhee and other
American officials.
Mr.. McGhee, en- route home
after a tour of the Middle East,
stopped here earlier this week for
talks with Foreign Secretary Her
bert Morrison.
The Tanian parliament, under
pressure of a nationalist group,
recently voted to nationalize the
British oil company, whose con-
cession runs until 1898. National
ization has not yet been put into
effect.
Britain Opposes Move.
Britain firmly opposes the move.
1t would mean the loss to Britain
OF its biggest single source of oil
for both domestic and military
use. Iranian oil also is sold to-
Western Europe.
Britiin officials maintain that
Iran has not the technical know
how to run the oil concession.
They also declare poverty-stricken
Iran hasn't the money to pay the
British government and other
stockholders if Iran confscated
the company'S properties.
Under the American proposal
the oil-now underground-wouldI
be nationalized but contract be-
tween the oil company and the
Persian government would arrangel
production and sale of the prod
uet with profits shared $3.50 be-
tween the two parties.

Hoyas Conquer Best
Relay Team in West,
But Miss Record
Special Dispo.eh 10 fhe Sfor

LOS ANGELES, May 19.-
Georgetown University's great q
mile relay team still is winning in
the fastest company - and still
looking for that world record.
The Hoyas beat what is touted
to be the best in the West-Occi-
dental College, by less than 3
yards before 4s.137 fog-chilled
spectators il the Los Angeles Coli
scum Relays last night.
But the quartet that is so fast
it is expected to set a record every
time out fell short of Michigan
States world record of 1913 last
year. The Hoyas won in 1882.
1t strictly was a two-team race
with UCLA a poor third behind
Occidental.
Deadly Comes From Behind.
Georgetown's times were: Dave
Boland, 1855: Joe LaPierre.
1895; Carl Joyce. 1853 and Joe
Deadly, 1852. Deadly lost a 10
yard lead to John Barnes Of Occi-
dental, who made his move too
soon. Deadly then came from be-
hind to win with a splendid kick.
The Hoyas' time was the second
best in the history Of the relays
for the two-mile event.
Boland gave the Hoyas an
8-yard lead in the first leg and
LaPierre increased 1t to Is, and at
the mile point it appeared George
town would breeze to another Of
its rldiculously easy triumphs. But
Bob McMillen Of the Californians
made up five yards on Joyce de.
spite the latter'S 1853. That gave
Deadly 10 yards to work on, which
he lost but gained three big ones
back.
Bob Richards, the high-f1ying
parson, still rates as today's top
pole vaulter. Don Laz gave him
a battle last night, but couldn't
make it.
Richards won easily with a vault
of Is feet in the same pit where
two weeks ago Laz, the Illinois
Icollegian, set a coliseum mark of
is feet IA inches. Laz, who few
here especially for the event, then
back for a Midwest meet today
couldn't clear ii feet 8 inches,
and placed second at 14-4.
Four other meet records were
broken.
The new marks:
Shot put-Jim Fuchs, New York
A. c., 81 feet, 6A inches. The
old mark was set last year by
lStanford's Otis Chandler, IS
feet, 83s inches.
High hurdles-Dick Attlesey

own mark. set last year. by three
tenthS of a second.
Mile run-Fred Wilt, the Oman

4:11.4. Len Truck of Ohio State
ran it in 4:12.8 a year ago to set
the old standard.
