E||ender Challenges
Charge That Truman
Fooled Farmers in '48

Senator Ellender. Democrat. Of
Louisiana chairman of the Agri-
culture Committee. today chal-
lenged an article in a recent issue
Of the Saturday Evening Post
contending that President Tru-
man fooled the farmers on the
grain storage issue in 1948.
The Senator made public a
letter he is sending to the maga-
zine answering the article by
Glenn D. Everett, based on inter-
views with Senator Williams, Re-
publican. of Delaware. The article
was entitled. "Wow! Did Truman
Ever Fool the Farmers"
Senator Ellender said it must
come close to an all-time low for
palpable Misrepresentation and
Justification in a reputable maga-
zine"
Challenges Arguments.
The Senator said the charge
that President Truman fooled the
farmers rested on three argu-
ments. He analyzed and took
issue with each one.
The first was that Democrats
accepted without objection a
clause in the Commodity Credit
Corp. charter preventing the
agency from acquiring real prop
erty except for Office space. He
said both the Secretary Of Agri-
culture and the President criti-
cized it when it was being enacted.
The Senator also denied the
second argument that CCC was
selling, wartime grain bins during
the time the President was calling
attention to the shortage of Stor-
age capacity. The Senator said
the bins referred to were sold to-
farmers back in 1912 and were
In use on farms.
Denies Prices Were Rugged.
He also challenged the third
argument that the administration
deliberately pushed down grain
prices to frighten the farmers
into voting Democratic.
Again, this is totally false, but
It is interesting to inquire wheth-
er the Republicans have guilt
complex. Do they perhaps sus-
pect that in farmers minds low
prices and the Republican con-
trolled Government are synony-
mous?"
Senator Ellender said that
whatever Senator Williams may
think about it, the truth is that
corn prices fell in anticipation of
The biggest corn crop in history
"and that storage restrictions
placed on CCC by the 80th Con-
gress helped depress the market,
against the departments most
vigorous efforts to support it."

world over recently have been try

political groups, apparently intend
ing to revive the united front tech
niques that were used in Europe
after World War I.
Last spring Moscow staged huge
international economic conference
to impress upon the world the
advantages of trade with the Soviet
bloc. This was a conciliatory move
which the West interpreted mainly
as a reaction to its blockade, i'm
posed on the Soviet camp when
China entered the Korean war. In
the light of Stains newly expressed
intention to compete with Western
nations for world markets, however,
the economic conference becomes
more of a key move than it had
previously appeared.

earlier tactics of violence were fore
runners of the strategy change

Korean FIure-Up

UVOU MUST lean against the
= enemy or he will lean
against you," Gen. James A. Van
Fleet told his 9th Army recently in
Korea.
1t was a capsule description of
the strategy used by both the
United Nations and Communist
armies. Neither side was willing to
fight for a marked change in the
Korean battle line, but each rea-
lized that if it relaxed pressure
along the line, the other side would
move forward. The two armies have
leaned against each other alter
nately for year, trading and re-
trading familiar group of hills
and ridges.
The last real ground offensive
occurred in September and October
of last year when U. N. troops
seized Heartbreak Ridge and nailed
down the Punchbowl.
This summer, when the truce
negotiations seemed about to bog
down for good, the U. N. stepped
up its aerial war in an effort to
encourage the Reds to talk terms.
The Communists retaliated on the
ground with attacks on Bunker
Hill, Kelly Hill, Old Baldy and Big
and Little Nori Hills. The attack
ing forces were small-company,
sometimes battalion strength.
Brood Attack
Last Monday the isolated attacks
were stepped up into a battle
stretching two-thirds across the Ko-
rean peninsula. About two enemy
divisions $4,000 mem were involved.
The attack centered on the twin
peaks of white Horse" and "Arrow-
head" which overlook the tradi-
tional invasion route to Seoul.
The hard-hitting Chinese Reds
North Koreans were not engaged
in the battle-drove u. N. troops
out of several front-line positions
early in the fight, but were thrown
back to their starting line during
the following days. One hill, White
horse, changed hands more than
% times in over 125 hours. The
main Allied defensive positions
were never penetrated, according
to Gen Van Fleet.
Observers doubted that the Com
munists intended to make a gen.
eral offensive out of their attack.
Gen. Van Fleet said the enemy had
the strength to mount a limited
offensive during the next two
months, but he said the Reds "could
not support general attack for
such period"

to exist among high Federal
officials.
Corruption, softness toward COM
munism and blunders in policy
have aided and comforted Russia
in the cold war.
The general told his audience
there was fundamental difference
between Democratic and Republi-
can philosophy. Democrats, he
said, are apostles of the whole
hog idea" They want power, and
more power for the Federal Gov
eminent. Republicans, on the
other hand, seek sharing of effort
on local, State and Federal levels.
This theme was carried out in
Eisenhower's welfare proposals last
week. He said he favored Govern
ment aid to help persons meet
emergency medical bills and aid to
improve American schools, but he
rejected Truman proposals to meet
the same needs as bureaucratic"
and "socialistic."
