'48 EXPERIENCE OF FARMERS MAY
BE AN ISSUE IN 1852 VOTING

WASHINGTON, (AP)-Recent
political and congressional de-
velopments indicate that what
happened to farmers in 1948-the
year of the last presidential cleo
tion-may be more of a farm
issue this voting year than what
is happening now.
Both Republicans and Democrats
are barking back to the election
four years ago which President
Truman won in an upset victory
over Thomas E. Dewey, largely
on the basis of midwestern farm
votes.
Dewey said on May IL that
Democrats won that election
mostly because they rigged farm
prices.
Sen. Aiken, Vermont Republi-
can, echoed Dewey's contention
before a senate committee hearing
attended by Secretary of Agri-
culture Brannan, who was key
figure in the 1948 democratic
drive for the farm vote.
The Republicans claimed the
Democrats, by actions and words.
deliberately drove down prices of
wheat, corn and other grains pro-
duced in the politically-important
midwest and put the blame on
the republican-controlled 80th con-
greSs.
Both President Truman and
Secretary Brannan have denied
the Republican assertions. Never
theless the controversy is likely
to continue through this years
campaign.
Here is a brief sketch of what
happened with regard to grain
prices and government actions in
1948:
The year started off with all
at favorable levels-well above
government price supports. Prices
reflected relatively small crops ir
1947 and a heavy demand.
AS the 1948 season advanced, it
became apparent that grain pro-
duction would increase sharply.
Prices, as they usually do in such
a situation, began to weaken.
Meanwhile, the Republican
controlled congress passed legis-
lation-which Truman signed
prohibiting the department from
acquiring any additional grain or
other commodity storage facili-
ties. The private storage industry
had complained about government
competition.
In signing the act, the presi-
dent said he disliked the storage
restriction. But his point was not
that it would hinder price support
operations by limiting storage
space. He said, instead, it would
require government corn to be
moved away from farming areas
to cities for storage-a fact he
said would add unnecessarily to
the cost of the grain when il
might be sold back to farmers for
livestock feed.
While the legislation was still
pending in congress, Brannan sent
a letter to the chairman of the
house agriculture committee OBJ
jecting that the storage restric-
tion would prevent the depart
ment from acquiring emergency
facilities necessary to preserve
agricultural products.
At the time, the department
itself had been following a policy
of getting out of the storage
business. Wooden and steel bins
with a storage capacity of 300
million bushels acquired before

MACS HEAD

No longer a small obsolete sound-sde sum-
mer colony; Mays Head today, with the adjoin-
ing communities of Kill Devil Hills and Kitty
Hawk spread from sound to sea and form the
largest in area and one of the fastest grow
ing ocean resorts along the mid-Atlantlc
coast. These three seaside towns, Mays Head,
Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills, each with
their modern stores, churches, service stations
and garages. night clubs and recreation CEN
tiers and ocean fishing piers have merged into
one great resort area with all necessary utlli-
ties. Each Of the three towns designated
as postoffices. Up-to-date hotels, some open
the year-areund, motor courts and guest
houses are conveniently located for tourist
and vacationists' patronage. Kill Devil Hill
is internationally known as the birthplace Of
aviation. 1t was at nearby Kitty Hawk that
the Wright Brothers began their experiments
which led to conquest of the air. Sun-drenched
beaches, mountainous dunes, invigorating
surf, plus unexcelled salt and fresh water fish
ing, has resulted in the phenomenal growth
of this area as vacation land during recent
years.

Protective Service
Season Opens
For Shysters

It's the season when farmers and
ranchers must be alert to judge the
slick-talking shysters from the le-
getimate sales people who may be
able to help in some farm or ranch
problem.
And it seems that some of the .
high pressure boys are wise to the
fact that the buster you are the
quicker they can often push their
story onto you, make quick sale and
be on their way. One case IN point
is the story Of an elderly midwestern
farm couple who reported being
rushed into signing contract that
cost them 81, 500 for new siding on
their house. The slick-tallking
stranger was specialist in work
ing over elderly folks.
House Siding Swindle
First the salesman convinced
them that their house would fall
down unless they had new siding
right away. All the house actually
needed was a couple Of coats of
paint Then he told them he was
going to offer them an especially
good price to make an impression
in the neighborhood. And the wind
up came when he whipped out a
contract explaining that they would
have to sign Immediately or lose
out on this wonderful bargain.
So they signed the. contract and
were legally held to paying the
$500 for bargain" siding that
could have been purchased from a
local contractor for much less.
The story brings up two import
ant points in buying. First, don't
| deal with strangers to buy product
easily purchased locally. Second,
slow down if anyone tries to hurry
you into signing contract, involv-
ing a substantial sum. Demand
day or two to study the contract
and check references of the con-
tractors.
Photography Swindle
Travelling picture agents and pho
tographers should always be dealt
with carefully and never trusted
with money in advance Another
story from the midwest tells of trav-
cling photographers whose favorite
trick is to show the farm wife an
air view picture of the farmstead
that she could have for a few dol
lars. That deal usually sounds good
but before the salesman leaves, he
talks the wife into ordering some
more pictures.
In one case reported, an oil paint
ing ran the total up to $S5, with
the salesman taking half the amount
IN advance and the balance to be
paid on delivery of the pictures in
10 days. The 10 days passed with
no pictures and no reply from the
company's distant office.
Little or nothing can be done to
trace such racketeers in most cases
Remember, never pay money to 3
perfect stranger for something .tc
be delivered in the future.
Name Plate Racket
Another case of paying money
for something to be delivered il
the future is the growing racke
now being worked in the midwes
of taking orders for mail-box nam,
plates money in advance, of course

Official, 76, Plans
To Retire From Job
He Held 18 Years

John Ihlder, executive director
OF the National Capital Housing
Authority for 18 years, has sub
mitted his resignation and will
retire December 81.
The decision of the 76-year-old
slum-clearance and housing ex-
pert to bow out caught his friends
and board members of the housing
authority by surprise. But he
commented:
"I've been looking for an oppor-
tunity to retire for the past two
years. I've been on the job 18
years."
Mr.. Ihlder said he felt the
change of administration this fall
was the appropriate time for him
to resign. He commented he felt
the first chapter in American
public housing was closing and it
was time for him to leave.

BurnedMoney Brings Questions.
But It's Definitely Not Hot

Since nobody has money to burn
these days, the discovery of a
quantity of burned bills and
charred cash in an automobile
parked downtown Yesterday aft
lernoon prompted a police inves-
tigation.
Pvt. Jerry Murena of No. II
precinct happened to glance in
the back seat of the car. parked
on Fifteenth street near F street
INV, and saw the burned cash
sticking out of four cigar boxes
and a metal cash box. He esti-
mated the amount to be between
5000 and 5000.

he said.
Herbert w. Reichlet, mayor OF

League, said county delegates tc
the State Assembly could learn
easily the wishes of each munich
pality through a county chapter
He predicted that decisive leg
iSlation on the financing of mu-
inequalities will be debated in the
next assembly. The feeling of each
town or city could reach Annapolis
best by way of a county chapter
he said.
Not Under Obligation.
Representatives were given
copies of the Montgomery County

to their respective town councils.
Ed johnson, executive secretary
of the Maryland Municipal League,
said, however, a Prince Georges

Prince Georges Towns
Consider Formation Of

Representatives from Is Prince

met at Maryland University last
night to discuss the need for the
formation of county munich
lpality association.
Those present unanimously IA
vored such a group but felt they
could not act officially until Their
respective town councils expressed
an opinion.
The Maryland Municipal League
and persons present last night
will relay the proposals to the
IL municipalities who failed to
send representatives.
Another meeting will be held
October 16 at which each munich
pality will express it's desire tc
form a Prince Georges County
chapter of the Maryland Munich
pal League.
Urges Exchange of Ideas.
Mayor Ross H. Beville of Ia
koma Park told the group of the
Montgomery County chapter, Off
cially formed last month, that an
Exchange of ideas among the IL
municipalities in the chapter will
increase the effectiveness of local
government operations through
out the county. Similar benefits
could be obtained in Prince
Georges County, he said.
The Prince Georges County
Commissioners could be kept in
close touch with the problems of
all municipalities if chapter
were operating in the county, he
said.
When asked to give examples of
results obtained by the chapter in
Montgomery County, Mr.. Beville
cited the Qualification of the
county fire code and the renter
Ipretation of zoning ordinances in
Washington Grove.
Request Is Studied.
Mr.. Beville pointed out that
laffliation with the Maryland
Municipal League is not necessary
for chapters formation. A re-
quest by the Montgomery County
chapter for league affiliation is
lnow being studied by a committee
