By Taft as He Ends
Tour Of Wisconsin

Tour Of Wisconsin
Senator Taft. Republican. Of
Ohio wound UP his pre-primary
tour Of Wisconsin last night with
praise for Senator Mccarthy. Re-
publican, Of Wisconsin and an out
line Of his views on agricultural
controls.
The candidate for the Repub-
Ncan presidential nomination
nearly met disaster near the end
of the two-day trip on an icy high
way 10 miles south Of Madison
when his car slEidded, spun around
twice. and missed Q big semi
trailer by inches.
In his last stop at Monroe he
made the proposal that farmers
themselves handle farm produc-
ton controls when such controls
are needed.
The Governments job, he said,
primarily should be to offer ad-
vice and assistance.
II think there is undoubtedly
q point at which the Government
must step in to protect the farm
ers against the kind of depres-
sion which let them go through
the wringers so many times in
the past" Senator Taft said.
Would Avoid Controls.
"At times o reasonable price
support will require production
controls, although certainly they
should be avoided, except in seri-
Gus emergencies.
IF we have any controls, how
ever. they ought to be exercised
rs far as possible by the farmers
Of each community"
Senator Taft praised Senator
Mccarthy. who is up for re-elec-
ton. and told newsmen, '1f SEN
ator Mccarthy is the Republican
nominee for the Senate I certain !
y will support him"
: And In New York Senator Ives
said that ''f we Republicans fail
in the next election I dare say
1t will mean the end Of the Re
publican Party nationally"
If our party goes down." he
added In a speech, that's the
end Of the two-party system" and
It will DO replaced by splinter
parties"
Goes Next to New York,
