This Week
in
Washington

Farmers In every section of the
United States have been concern
ed over the decline of farm
prices for the past five months.
This worry has not been confined
to any one group in the farming
industry, that is, the farmer who
concentrates on particular crop
or one kind of livestock. All have
been worried and with consider
able justification.
The decline now amounts to
approximately II per cent under
what prices were at this time last
year. A number of farm leaders
have reported they see no indica-
ton of halt in sliding farm
prices.
TIE result has been low rum
bling of discomfort among con-
gressmen from the great farming
states. If prices continue to de-
cline that rumbling will grow in
the next few weeks and may
force the administration to take
quick action to stabilize farm
markets.
In the past special groups have
used congressional pressure to Sc
cure legislation beneficial to that
group. This may be the first such
contest under the new admins
tration. 1t will be interesting to
watch and may give a good in
dication of things to come.
A stable farm market is ne
| cessity to stable national econ
| omy. But the new administration
! will move with care, it is predict
ed, because any action in this
problem may well set pattern
of action in other segiments of
| the nations economy.
. The Wilson affair will leave its
mark upon the Eisenhower ad-
miniStration, season political
observers are predicting.
In the first place, number of
senators, both Republicans and
Democrats, were unhappy over
Mr.. Wilson's first appearance be-
fore the senate committee that
investigated his appointment and
his holdings in General Motors.
He created bad impression. He
did much to erase this impression
| during his second appearance, but
1.-The damage had already been
| done.
And second, as one famous col
, umnist and political observer
pointed out, that however strong
the Eisenhower team might be
on organization, efficiency, man
agement and what not, it has
shown an ineptitude in the poll
tical game. This columniSt said
| it would be well if nobody else
allows himself to indulge in the
rather lazy notion that running
big business and running a big

THE AMERICAN WAY
Help For The Little Fellow


The February 7th issue of Col
lier's carries story by Bill
Davidson that explodes the fall
lacy that Big Business is a voraci-
Gus monster intent on gobbling
up Little Business. 1t discloses
that the country's biggest busi-
ness, the telephone industry, is
a highly competitive but essen
TALLY cooperative business.
Surprising as it may seem,
Rural America still has 10000 of
the old cooperative farmers
switching lines and 5,435 pri
vately owned Independents; be-
tween them they operate 1922,
800 phones (more than the total
number of phones in use in any
other country)-some l,750,000 of
them the old-fashioned, hand
cranked magnetic type. While
these millions of telephones are
owned independently of the big
Bell System, they are connected
with it. Consequently, each and
every independent telephone sub
scriber can reach every phone
of the Bell System.
Davidson reveals in his article
that many of the little "Indepen-
dents" could not have remained
in business had it not been for
the help of the Bell System and
the financial cooperation of the
country's big banking institutions.
These facts must come as a great
shock to the Left -Wingers" who
clamor for specialization of
Americas public utilities.
Why does the Bell System lend
this aid and succor to the opposi-
ton Little Fellows? 1t is an
outgrowth of its commitment
made in 1913 guaranteeing not to
take over any independents"
providing good service. Stimulat-
ing this big systems continued
interest and help to the little
companies today and also spark
plugging many of the financial
transactions which enable the lit
tie companies to solve their post
war problems and remain in busi-
ness, is Spencer B. Eddy, N. Y
State Public Service Commission
er-with the backing of Commits
sion Chairman Benjamin F. Fem
berg and Governor Thomas E
Dewey.
Eddy, whom Davidson describ-
es as "a brilliant little pepper
pot" went to the big banks OF
| New York State and said: 1--WE
are sick of people talking about
free enterprise and doing nothing
to save it. Unless you want us tt
support legislation allowing fed
eral financing for the indepen'
dents, the New York banks mus
provide the money"
The banks listened as Com
missioner Eddy backed his pie;
for this financial help to circum
vent government financing witt
assurance of the stability of eacf
little company so financed. In
vestigation before approval o
any such loan by the Commission
provided the lending institution
with what was virtually the P.s
C,,s guarantee of efficient, pro
fitable management and abillt,

Ashton Pastor left FBI for Pulpit
BY Mark Gnerro

The switch. from plainclothes-
man to man of the cloth was not
an easy one for former FBI
Agent Merrill w. brennan. re-
Gently named pastor of the Meth
odist Church in Ashton, Md.
Only a conviction of the over
whelming need for ministers
made it possible for the 37-year-
old clergyman to persevere in
his vocation in spite of late
start and financial hardship.
When Mr.. brennan left q
promising future with the FBI
in 1948 after six years of service,
he had to turn to odd jobs to put
himself through two years
of undergraduate work at the
University of Maryland. Al
though he earned an account
ants degree in 1899, he had to
finish a liberal arts course be-
fore entering theological studies.
Was Salesman, Cab Driver.
Among the jobs he held down
in this period were selling ency-
clopedias and sterling silver,
driving a cab, and working in a
funeral home. His wife Frances
could not go out to work since
the Drennan's have two daugh-
tiers, Marilyn, Z, and Kathleen,
5, to look after.
After entering Westminster
Theological Seminary, Mr..
brennan went to the Ashton
church as student pastor. Here
the odd jobs ended through the
generosity of the parishoners.
Mr.. brennan has words of
praise for members of his church
who tolerated" him as a stu
dent. Small churches are help
ing with the educational process
by helping young student min
iSterS," he said.
Long Period OF Thought.
Mr.. Drennan's decision to en-
ter the ministry came after a
long period of thought. He cred
it's his wife with much of the
inspiration for having made the
change. He also has words of
praise for the example of the
Rev. Marion S. Michael, former
pastor of Marvin Memorial
Methodist Church, Silver Spring,
where Mr.. brennan served as a
trustee, lay leader, and church
school superintendent from 1945
to 1948. Mr.. Michael now heads
Bethesda Methodist Church.
Another factor in helping Mr..
brennan arrive at his decision
was sermon by the Rev. Joseph
R. Sizoo, professor of religion at
George Washington University.
Listening to DR.. Sizoo'S appeal
for more ministers during Lent
of 1948, Mr.. brennan looked
