IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my devoted father
Mr. John Calvin Cummings, who departed
this life November II, 1916.
Oft and oft my thoughts do wander
To grave far away,
Where we laid you, dear father
Thirty-six years ago today.
The shades of death came quickly
AS you called to us one day;
You told us you were leaving,
Then you knelt to pray.
The tears we shed were many,
You left broken home;
But your memory will always linger,
AS journey through life alone

He said Senate action on Presi-

Symington said, and he was re-

Symington took over the RFC

WASHINGTON - R-Sen. Taft

the pledges he now holds are

That was the Ohioan's answer
to the statement of Gen. Dwight

publican and would respond to a
"clearcut call to political duty. >
but would not personally campaign
for the COP nomination.
Eisenhower supporters jubilantly
heralded the statement as assur-
ing the generals nomination and
election.
Taft told a reporter he believes
this makes Eisenhower only a
'draft" possibility. adding:
IF all of the pledges we have
obtained from all over the coun-
icy can be translated into dele
gates when they are chosen. ! be-
Iieve we have more than half of

None of the delegates has been

Taft said he always assumed
that other candidates wound be
seeking the nomination and that
Gen. Eisenhower would be one
of them"
He intimated hs had expected
Eisenhower to doff his uniform as
commander of the North Atlantic

But Eisenhower said at his Paris
headquarters Monday that under

Peaceful Revolution
In u. S. Agriculture

In these 20 years, we have
brought about a real revolution
"a peaceful revolution - in
American agriculture.
Some people have never ap-
proved of what we set out to
do-and have been doing. They
have fought against us every
step OF the way. They are still
at it today. And their favorite
cry has been Socialism" "regi-
mentation." Government con-
troll" and domination" of the
farmer.
Actually. what we have been
doing is the very opposite of
socialism. We've been getting
the means of production back
into the hands of the individual
free enterprisers.
Listen to this. In 1892. less
than So per cent of the Nations
farms were owned by the people
who operated them. Today, after
20 years of what the mossbacks
call Socialism" that figure has
gone up to rs per cent. There
are 250,000 more farmers who
own their own farms today than
there were in 1882. That doesn't
sound like socialism to me. It

Ban on Wheat Germ Bread
As White Anglers Douglas
By the Associated Press

New Government standards for
bakers bread aroused the ire last
night of Senator Douglas. Demo-
crat, of Illinois because they forbid
a special wheat germ loaf from be-
ing sold as white bread.
Threatening to ask an investi-
CATION of the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration, which announced the
rules. Senator Douglas told re-
porters:
"They would prevent probably
the best bread in the country from
being sold as white bread"
Developed at Cornell University,
the bread is sponsored by the Co.
operative League of the U. S. A..
which protested that the new rules
would hurt sales.
Oscar r. Ewing, Federal Secur-
ity administrator and boss of food
and drug, said the bread is a dis
tinct kind. different from white
bread, and that to label it white
would confuse consumers. Sena-
tor Douglas said the Cornell proc
ess keeps the wheat germ in flour
without rancidity and that the
bread also contains soybean meal

Real Sense of Mission

There is a real sense OF mis-

ment-a real, tangible feeling Of

Evening star., 1952-05-15

sounds like real free enterprise.
So far as I know, there Is moth.
ing in the free enterprise system
that requires half the Nations
farms to be owned by absentee
landlords.
All this talk about Socialism
is just pain hokum. What we
have actually been working for
is to extend and strengthen
private farm ownership. And we
have been trying to make it pos
sible for all farm families
whether they own their farms or
MOTTO grow good crops and
sell them for decent prices. We
have been trying to make sure
that we will have q strong agri-
culture as part of a strong
economy, and good farm living
as part of a good life for all
Americans.
That has been our goal these
20 years. That has been the mo-
tive power and the inspiration
behind your fine work in the
Department of Agriculture.
And it is still the goal-Still
the inSpirataion-still the rea-
son so many men and women
are giving their best efforts to
the public service in our agri-
cultural programs.
We must keep it that way. I
hope the time will never come
when the good fight, the good
spirit. the sense of real public
purpose and real achievement
goes out of this great Depart.
ment.
For there is still lot to do.
There are plenty of problems
still to be solved-plenty of i'm
provements still to be made.
It's a big job-and a great chal-
lenge.
l know that you will meet
this challenge in the same
spirit and with the same devo-
tion that has marked the work
OF the men and women we
honor here today.
Evening star., 1952-05-15

sources really work for us. That
much we had learned by 1898.
And after that. we found out an
other thing. We found out the
job could be done-in agricul-
ture and in every other aspect
of our national life.
We've been demonstrating that
fact for 20 years. Look what mas
been accomplished on the farm.
Today, American agriculture
is highly productive and highly
efficient. It is producing abun-
dainty for the defense effort. It
is rebuilding strength in the
land for the use of future gener-
ations. And it is helping to give
our people a higher standard Of
living than they ever have known
before.
All of you know the policies
and programs that have helped
to bring this about:
Price-Support programs have
brought stability to farm prices;
and at the same time they have
brought adequate supplies to
consumer markets.
Soil conservation programs
have built up the land.
Research projects have helped
farmers to boost production and
get food to market at a lower
cost.
Rural identification has
brought great ef6ciencies in
farming operations and it has
turned farm houses into farm
homes.
Farm credit and housing loans
have helped millions of farmers
to buy and improve their lands
and homes.
These and other programs
programs your department has
carried out SO well-have en-
abled the farmers of America
to build the strong agricultural
economy we know today. In
this way. We have demonstrated
that by positive action we can
use the powers of our Govern
ment to make our resources and
our freedoms work for every
bOdy'S benefit.
Evening star., 1952-05-15

In way-a very common-SenSe
way-you have been engaged in
a great crusade all these years.
Many Of you came down here
20 years ago just to be a part
OF that crusade and make a
contribution to it. And I know
you still remember how it all
got started and why it got
started.
You remember that we had a
terrible experience on our farms
in the years before 1888. Things
were bad enough for farmers
in the 20s. And then the
great depression came along
and put the finishing touches
on.
Farmers were knocked out
economically, all across the
country. Market outlets and
prices for their crops collapsed.
Farm families almost every
where were living in real pow
erty. We had plenty of good land
and hard working people. We
had the basic resources all right
but We couldn't put them to
work on a paying basis.
1t is pathetic when you think
about what happened. In des-
peration for cash crops, farmers
plowed up land that should not
have been touched. Dust storms
blackened the sky as natures
answer to this abuse of the soil,
All over the country ,Athe story
was the same. The Nations
precious topsoil was eroding-
blowing away and washing out
to sea - running agriculture's
basic source of strength. Farm
incomes were not sufficient to
finance badly needed soil con-
Servation work.
Economic freedom became
a mockery without economic
strength. And political free
doms were endangered by rebel
lions that broke out in defiance
OF law and order. Desperate
farmers turned to force and vio-
lence to resist the injustice of
mortgage foreclosures which
would have wiped away their
lifetime savings.
1t was a terrible time. But
fortunately-very fortunately
most Americans learned some
thing from it. Most of us learned
that it takes more than q wealth
OF resources, and more than an
industrious people to insure
progress and prosperity for our
country.
