Short Run Changes
At q time when fear and con-
fusion and withdrawal shape the
moods Of many Of Americas
white intellectuAls the raee-con-
Scious Negro men Of ideas and
words present q contrast Of OPP
timism and aggressiveness. There
are, 1t seems to me. two reasons
for this. First, the Negro intellec-
tuRls who have concerned them
selves with race movements have
usually Hsualized their task as
one of introducing a series Of
short-r1In changes In the pattern
Of Negro-white relations. While
they have projected the ultimate
goals Of full racial manhood, they
have not been diverted from their
day-to-day tasks by a concern
with the ultimate and drastic re-
ordering Of the larger society.
Secondly, the issues with which
they have dealt are sim with us,
and are UNDERSIGNED by the ever
widening implications Of race pre-
judice in international relations.
In contrast, the problems with
which many white intellectuals
were concerned in the sos and
40's no longer exist, or have been
temporarily solved, or have be-
come so unpopular that one dis
cusses them only at considerable
risk.
We would also suggest that the

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Practically
everyone in Washington is unani-
NOUS on two points: First, that 1858
is going to be great year for the
economy as a whole; second, that
the agricultural community won't
share directly in the probable rising
prosperity.
Some forecasters of the farm
future see agriculture's prices
declining as much as 10 percent;
officials of the outgoing admin
istration say about A percent.
Economists in and out of govern
ment, on the other hand, are prac-
tically undivided in agreeing that in
dustry will boom-and that con-
sumers probably are going to have
more income than ever.
Farmers who are tempted to be
pessimistic about their prospects
should take heart from the outlook
for consumer income. If practically
everybody is right about the indus
trial boom, and consequent pros
perity in the city, agriculture prob
ably won't be hurt too much.
High consumer income-and de-
mand-is exactly what farmers can
use lot of.

to discover why there has been de-
cline in the farmers share of the

House Agriculture committee, Rep.
Clifford Hope of Kansas, already
has called for an investigation to
determine why there is so much
spread between the cattleman's and

DIFFER ON FARM PRICES

A few grizz1ed veterans of
economic forecasting in Wash
ington-who know the hazards
of the guessing business-don't
share the generally sour outlook
for farm prices. Besides the ex-
pectation of strong demand. they
are pointing TO these other plus
factors:
O The outlook for reduction in
pork supplies of some IS per cent
under last year. The spring pig crop
will be the smallest in Is years. This
means better prices for hog pro-
ducers, and less competition for cat
tlemen from low-priced pork.
(2) Indications are that producers
of poultry meat and eggs-protein
competitors of other livestock prod
ucts-are going to hold back on out
put. Production may not be cut back,
but it isn't likely to increase at the
rate of recent years.
90 Machinery, equipment and
supplies to do the farm production
job are going to be relatively plen-
tiful.
(4 The population is growing and
people are eating more of better
foods, particularly meat and espe-
cially beef.
(5) Congress is turning on the heat

STILL HIGH PRODUCTION

@~-&< &@@S&& AhO6 ~ 4S1N
Getting rid of another season
of production that could match
the all-time high achieved in
SO. at reasonable prices main
tanned by good demand. sums up
the farm problem for this year.
Livestock men, generally speak
ing, are almost sure to produce as
much in '53 as last year. Cattlemen
can look forward to an increase of
some 100000 head above last years
record number of animals on ranches
and farms.
Agriculture Secretary Ezra T.
Benson and the men around him
won't do anything to discourage pro-
duction. They have been among the
most vocal advocates in recent years
of an expanding grassland econ
omy." 1t means better nutrition, as
they figure it, and also provides a
means of preventing grain SURPRISES,
without resorting to government
subsidies to keep feed producers in
business.

NEW UNDERsEcRETARY

The new administrators under
secretary of agriculture, True D.
Morse, to be No. man at USDA, is
a 56-year-old economist who has put
his knowledge to practical account
on ranches and farms. He's an ex-
pert in livestock trends, and what to
do about them.
Secretary Benson is expected to
lean heavily upon Morse for advice
on whether federal farm programs
square up with the realities of farm
operation. Morse believes that the
free play of supply and demand
more than any governmental pro-
gram whether farmers
prosper.
The new undersecretary, a big man
with quiet manner, is expected to
have considerable say-so on decisions

PRICE. WAGE CONTROLS

PRICE WAGE CONTROLS
Don't look now. but it's plain
that the COP is already feuding
about what 10 do with the
problem of price and wage con-
trolls. Some Republicans want TO
toss the controls program into
the grave and bury il forever.
Others say that would be poll
ticallY dangerous. besides. that
another Korea" would call for
revival of controls.
Best guess is that price-wage con-
trolls will be allowed to expire on
April 80 when the present law ends
:. but that standby legislation will
be kept on the books. This would
permit controls to be slapped back
on the economy, in case the new
administration and congress deemed
it necessary.
1t is likely, if this is the decision,
that skeleton staff of controllers"
will be kept on hand by President
Eisenhower. They would not have
power to interfere with markets or
wages but probably would call pub
lie attention to practices considered
"out of line"

that there will be little congress
sional action on farm matters
this year appear TO be borne out.

port that 1853 will be devoted

Hearings will be held in Wash
ington before the agriculture COM
nittees of both houses early in the
year. Later, the lawmakers report,
they want to hold hearings in vari-
Gus areas of the country to get the
views of ranchers and farmers first

Only major action expected is

be needed by Benson to reorganize

CLEVELAND, Oct. Is. - A
round-faced Irishman with a
disconcerting wit, a quiet manner
and an outstanding record in
public Office is Ohio's new Sena-
tor.
Mayor Thomas A. Burke,
named to fill the vacant Senate
seat of the late Robert A. Taft,
is regarded even by his political
enemies as an exceptional per-
son.
Some reporters who have fol-
lowed the 54-year odd Democrat
during his four terms in Office
call him mot only a great Mayor,
but great man"
Plump, gray-haired and with
twinkling eyes, Mr.. Burke has
been Mayor of Cleveland since
1945-longer than any other per-
son. He was city law director
in 1915 when Gov. Lausche ap-
pointed him to fill the mayoral
vacancy.
OF four mayoral election con-
tests in which MI. Burke ran,
he was a landslide winner in all
but one. And thai one-in 1851
wasn't very close. for his VIC
tory margin was about 10 per
cent
Began Career in 1880.
Son of a Cleveland doctor. Mr..
Burke began his public service
career in 1880 as an assistant
county prosecutor 10 years after
his cum laude graduation from
Holy Cross College and seven
years after he took a law degree
from Western Reserve Univer-
sity here.
He is regarded as an excellent
administrator, a man who does
his work smoothly, without JOLT
Ing changes. No whisper of scan
dial has touched his public or pri-
vate life.
Conservative rather than COL
orful. Mr.. Burke appeals to
voters intelligence rather than
their emotions. Usually. he list
ems calmly to criticism and c les
the record in rebuttal. He lets
the public do the deciding.
Although his party urged him
to run. Mr.. Burke last May an
nounced he would not again seek
the post that pays $4,000 an
nually. He said he had been
making too great a financial
sacrifice for too many years.
Held Down Tax Rate.
In nearly nine years as Mayor.
Mr.. Burke held down the city's
tax rate, yet managed to advance
the greatest capital improvement
program in Cleveland's history.
He settled a century-old prob
lem with the railroads over title
to f1lled-in lands along the lake
front and built the lake front

heap. His administration start
