I'VE want the Secretary to re-
store confidence SO feeders will
buy producers CATTLE" Mr..
Driscoll said. I'VE don't want
them to give US anything"
Mr.. Driscoll said the Govern
ment should support livestock
prices through loans similar to
those used to support prices on
many commodities, or through
promises to purchase cattle at
specified prices.
Five-POint Program.
The cattlemen, who came here
under the sponsorship of the
National Farmers Union, also
asked in their resolution:
Il. Designation of disaster
counties to cover all, not just
part, of drought and flood
stricken areas.
"2. Greatly speed up the proc
essing and approval of special
livestock loans that require the
Signature of the Secretary
"3. Allow cattlemen, with a
small excess of asset over liabili-
ties, to become eligible for special
livestock loans without requir-
ing them to liquidate their
previous Indebtedness"
"A. Immediately activate the
economic disaster loan programs
adopted by Congress in the early
summer but under which no
loans have been made.
. IS. Make economic disaster
loans fully available as provided
by law in every case of economic
disaster whether or not in an
area stricken by a natural dis

The resolution said the live
stock industry has been going
through one of the most drastic
price declines in modern history"
1t added:
mo other sedgment of the
economy is subjected to the law
of supply and demand; the
farmer is entitled to full adequate
price floors to insure parity farm

Parity is defined by law as an
income adequate to provide the
farmer the same profits that he
received in a previous period.
The resolution vigorously op-
posed the exploitation of either
producers or consumers "aS we'll
as obvious attempts to turn con-
Sumers as against the producers
to the detriment of both"
Hunt Cheers Delegation,
The cattlemen were cheered by
Senator Hunt, Democrat, of Wy
oming, who promised to back
cattle supports at least. tempor-
arily. Senator Carlson, Repub-
lican, of Kansas, wouldn't take
a stand on cattle supports. but
instead suggested the Govern
ment buy about $500 million
worth of meat and give it away
or sell it at any price abroad. He
thought the Government might
lose $3.50 million on the deal.
Senator Carlson said his
scheme would result in the
slaughter of three million of
the Nations SO million head of
cattle. That, he said, should
help strengthen prices on live
stock generally without direct
Government supports.
Spokesman for the stockmen,
however, frowned on this idea
as too expensive or too indirect.

Multitude Seen Needed
To Figure Price Supports

DENVER, Oct. 27 (P).-Sam C..
Hyatt, president of the Ameri-
can National Cattlemen's ASso-
citation contends that a beef cat
tie support and control program
would require an army of Office
workers"
The Hyattsville (Wyo.) cattle
man said a multitude of Statis-
ticians' would be needed to CAL
culate an accurate parity for
each grade of cattle and keep
those parity figures up to date.
His statement, issued over the
week end, followed a decision by
the associations 180-man Execu-
tive Committee last week to op-
pose supports and urge improve
ments in the Governments beef
purchase program. The commit
tee recommended more Govern
ment buying for foreign aid and
school lunches as an alternative
to direct. fixed support.
Mr.. Hyatt termed support
prices a political means of at
tempting to correct economic
Embellishments" and predicted
any attempt at price supports
would result in stored surpluses
which would plague the Nation
for years."

Rival Political Leaders Of British
 Guiana Meet To Argue Their Gases

LONDON, R-British Guiana's' rival political leaders met here Thursday to argue their respective cases before the British public and members of Winston ChurchilPs Conservative government.
 They went into action only a few hours before the opening of a House of Parliament debate on the British governments suspension of the constitution of the South American colony and custer of the leftist ministers in order to smash an alleged Communist plot to seize power.
 Dr. Cheddi Jagan, deposed Prime Minister of British Guiana, charged in a statement that the Churchill government deliberate ly invented story of Red plot.
 "A plot has been invented where there is none," Jagan said in a statement read at a news confer ence. Referring to the landing of British troops in the colony, Jagan added:
 Tt has always been pointed out to us that Communism is sustained by force and violence. Now we see in the name of democracy, democracy itself being destroyed by force"
 Jagan denied his Peoples Pro- gressive Party was Communist but stated that it definitely is not anti-Communist."

MANY KILLED BY FLOODS IN
 SOUTH ITALY

REGGIO CALABRIA, Italy, tR Floods fed by cloudbursts swept across the toe of the Italian boot Thursday.
 The surging waters covered farm fields and inundated towns and hamlets. Many of the dead were buried under the debris of shattered homes.
 It was bitter blow for the pow ery-stricken region, still suffering from effects of floods last year.
 Torrential rains which followed the cloudbursts continued, making rescue operations difficult. The prefect of Reggie Calabria, capital of the region, called for helicop- ters to aid in the rescue work.
 At Saracinello, IA bodies were recovered. They included an en- tire family of father, mother and four children.
 At Oliveto, IT bodies were dug out of debris, including that of the parish priest. The bodies of an entire family of six were pulled out of ruins at Rosario de Valan- idi.
 South Italian floods generally are blamed by experts on defores- tation. Through the centuries, Italians have cut so many of the trees for fuel that heavy rainfall now almost always brings quick runoff from the mountains and destruction.
The Nome nugget., 1953-10-23

At the same time, John Carter, Jagan's political rival and leader of the United Democratic Party of British Guiana, arrived here. He said in an airfield interview:
 "Jagan and company have led the world to believe that this is a fight between the Peoples Pro- gressive Party and the governor and officials.
 We are here to tell people in Britain that it is not only a fight between the party and the gov ernor. but between the party and democratic forces in British Gui- ana consisting not only of one class, but a whole cross-section ot the community.
