every chance to visit Swallow

He can open the eyes of the

Tycoon AbhoFes Workers
Attitude Toward Tycoons

CHICAGO - (CNS) - Workers
don't always think of their employers
welfare, the president of U. S. Steel
complained here, December 9. Steel
man Clifford F. Hood blamed this
attitude on San incessant, often dis
honest barrage of propaganda for
socialism"
Already, Hood said, "socialistic
chickens are coming home to roost."
He said industry spent $120 billion
in 1949-53 to increase productivity,
but the rate of corporate earnings
was much lower" than in former
prosperous eras.
I'm 1776, Adam Smith said that
as the accumulation of capital in
creased, the rate of profit would
diminish until it disappeared. Smith
is the darling of laissez faire CAPT
talism. He was no socialist"
Hood suggested what he called a
different" education program. 1t
would tell what's good about private
enterprise instead of emphasizing the
dangers of socialism.

NTEA's Movie Isn't
Educational, Coop League
Warns Tv Stations

CHICAGO-(CNS)-The Coop
erative League warned every TV
station in the country, December
10, that the movie, Citizen Dave
Douglas" is not educational" 1t
is a serious, clever, and insinuat-
ing attack on credit unions, savings
and loan associations, co-ops, mu-
tual savings banks, and mutual in
surance firms"
This film is not a proper one
to be used on sustaining time"
Jerry Voorhis, the Leagues execu-
tive director, said in his letter to
each of the $50 station. Stations
that use the movie, Voorhis warned,
might properly be requested" to
give co-ops equal chance to tell
their side of the story.
The films implication that these
businesses pay little or no federal
income tax and enjoy an unjust
tax advantage, Voorhis told the
stations, is unfair and untrue"
He said the films producer, Ma
tional Tax Equality Association, is
"subsidizing a nationwide effort"
to get TV stations to use it.

Farm Exports Down In
September From 1858

WASHINGTON, D. C.-September
farm exports were down Fl per cent
from the like 1853 period, the United
States Agriculture Department re-
ported here.
The decline resulted from slump
ing shipments of wheat, corn and
tobacco.
September exports totaled $193
million. compared with $245 million
a year ago.
Large grain suppliers overseas are
chiefly responsible for the drop in
wheat and corn, according to the de-
partment report. The sag in tobacco
shipments, it said, resulted from the
low quality of the leaf that came to
market in Alabama, South Carolina
and Florida.

1855 FEED CROP
SUPPORTS ANNOUNCED

Price support for 1866 crop oats,
barley and rye will be at levels re-
flecting 1000 of parity, Leo S. Kol-
stad, State Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation administrative of
ficer, said this week.
The national average support prices
prices compared with national av-
erages for 1854 which reflected IS
per cent of parity will be: Oats, 81
cents (75 cents per bushel for
Grade No. 8 or better; barley, "a
cents ($1.15) per bushel for Grade
No. or better, and rye, S1.18
($1.43) per bushel for Grade No. 2
or better or No. 8 on test weight only.
In announcing the 1856 levels, De-
partment of Agriculture officials
pointed out that they are intended
to promote a more desirable rela-
tionship between the production of
feed grains and the overall utiliza-
ton of feed. Production of these
grains in 1854 was substantially
higher than in 1853 and there will
be no restriction on the production
in 1866. Indications are that much
larger quantity of feed grains will
be placed under price support this
year but the lower supports an
nounced for 1855 are expected to en-
courage better adjustment and freer
flow of the grain into feed uses, as
serts Kolstad.
Price support levels for these grains
have varied widely in past years. The
highest which have been in effect
were IS per cent of parity in both
1853 and 1854. Before that, during
the approximately Is years when
have been used for this
group, supports have at times been
as low as A per cent of parity for
barley, 35 per cent for oats, and 38
per cent for rye.

MISSOULA POLICE
BRUTALITY EXPOSED
BY LABOR COUNCIL

The Missoula Central Trades and
Labor Council ripped the veil of
secrecy off the Missoula police
force recently when a Trades
Council delegate attending a City
Council meeting demanded in
formation concerning police bru-
tally.
According to reports, a local
man was picked up by policeman
Reumer and Lockridge and booked
on suspicion of drunkenness. After
booking, these two playful cops
proceeded to work over" said al
legged drunk. The man was badly
beaten, and was finally hospitalized
with a broken jaw and other severe
injuries.
1t was further reported that the
mans hospital bill was paid by the
police department after the man
willingly" signed an agreement
not to prosecute or sue for dam
ages.
Dan L. Rice, Police Chief, said
Reumer and Lockridge had been
given a 60-day suspension by po-
lice department action.
Unwarranted brutality by Mis-
soula police is not a new public
service" rendered by Rice's boys.
Similar treatment has been re-
ceived by Missoula trade unionists.
Two other cops figured in such
antics, but were not punished"
Instead, Rice condoned their bru-
tally.
The Missoula Trades Council
sends delegates to every City Coun-
Gil meeting with a view of protect
ing the interests of its members
and to assist good public officials
in their efforts to promote better
city government.

to $1.86-a drop of 38 cents bushel
in two years, Hendrickson pointed
out.
In addition, Hendrickson continued,
there are two other factors which will
hit the 1856 support price. These fac
tors are new" parity and ''transi-
tional' parity.
The ''new parity" Hendrickson ex-
planned, cat present is 38 cents a
bushel lower than the old parity now
in effect. If allowed to go into effect
in 1856 as scheduled, the 'new" par
ity would drop the support price even
further. The "new" parity would be
$2.10 per acre, SO cents less than
the old parity, and rs per cent of
that would slash the wheat support
price to $1.57 per bushel.
This reduction, however, may be
modified some by provision calling
for a transitional" parity, which
provides that there shall be no reduc-
ton in excess of five per cent when
a shift from old to new parity is
made. This would spread the 38-cent
cut over the 1856, 1857 and 1858
crops.
Then, Hendrickson said, there is
always the possibility that wheat
farmers will reject marketing quotas
in the annual fall referendum on this
subject, in which event price supports
would automatically fall to so per
cent of which ever type parity is in
effect. In this event, the support price
would be slashed to slightly more
than one dollar bushel.
Wheat producers cannot be ex-
pected to accept these greatly re-
duced prices and income prospects
without protest." Hendrickson said,
and predicted an all-out battle in
the next session of Congress for
the restoration of 80 per cent sup
ports on the basic commodities.
"Only the first rumbles of that
protest are being heard now, as the
farmer becomes gradually aware of
what these new price cuts actually
mean to him-the real thunder is still !
ahead" declared Hendrickson as he
outlined briefly what the change in
control, following the
election last fall, may mean in the
legislative battle over price supports.

While issuing a warning to the
closing day, capacity turnout of about
5000 that, "There is serious trouble
ahead, and a lot of it, for wheat
farmers Hendrickson urged a return
to at least 80 per cent supports for
wheat.
A survey shows, Hendrickson stat
ed, that most of the nations of the
world have found wheat supports an
economic necessity if the farmer is
to survive and many of these nations
have established higher wheat props
than those prevailing in the U. S.
They also have indicated that their
future support prices will be higher
than those which will be in effect in
America.
The survey, by the international
Federation of Agricultural Pro-
ducers, completely explodes the
idea advanced by proponents of
flexible or no supports that price
supports are an unnecessary gift
made available only to the Ameri-
can farmer, he said.
In comparison with the U. S.
wheat support prices for next year,
which at 821z per cent of parity will
be S206 per bushel, the survey
checked next years support prices
in Is of the worlds leading wheat
producing nations. 1t found 1855
support prices, in U. S. currency,
will be exceeded in 10 of the coun-
tries as follows:
Turkey, 1881; France, 1894; Tu-
nisia, $303; Germany, $2.83; Spain,
S2.81; Argentina, $3.50; Japan,
S2.61; Greece, S2.40; Belgium, 1929;
and Sweden, $2.10.
Those nations listed below the
United States were Australia, $1.57;
Syria, $1.54; and Canada, S1.44.
Canada, however, employs the pool
and can greatly exceed this
minimum price which is simply the
initial payment that it announces
it plans to make through the Canadian

In addition to the fact that U. S.
wheat price props already are among
he worlds lowest, Hendrickson also
pointed out to the farm gathering

prices will decline, too"
Hendrickson, Washington farm

ing, has a more difficult road ahead
for up to the next five years or
more than wheat producers" ;

grounds that he lacked Judgment,
discretion and reliability" but that he
was not disloyal. The dismissal came
on the basis of report from Sc
curity board after Davies had been
cleared in eight previous investiga-
tions.
BLOW TO FREE SPEECH
The ACLU told Dulles that the
word security risk" as applied to
Davies has become linked in the pub
lie mind with "disloyalty and treason"
and the Davies case has become so
identified despite Dulles assurance
that Davies was not disloyal.
The ACLU charged that the custer
was a blow to the principle of free
speech which, in our tense struggle
with Communist tyranny, is already
under great strain"
The civil liberties organization re-
minded Dulles that he should make
it clear to the foreign service that

Davies, at 46 with 23 years service
in the State Department, has been
denied a pension because he is not
qualified. Pensions are paid to per-
sons for each 20 years full service.
Davies told the TV audience that
the dismissal was wrong and urged
that the entire record be made public
so that the nation could judge. Dulles
has said it would not be in the nations
to publish the complete rec
ord because many of the documents
are still classified secret.
Davies said that personal security
is no longer possible in the foreign
service because of congratulations
and "subversive" problems. He said
a man now finds it necessary to prove
his innocence after being presumed
guilty and that persons conduct

It is by these daily prods that ones

It is possible, in this matter, for men
to learn from women, as strange as
that may seem to some. They begin
their sun tanning at the very first by
applying some sort Of sun tan lotion.
This not only keeps one from peeling,
but also causes the skin to tan evenly.

The number of sun-tanned people
to be seen on the streets of the National
Capital would be amazing, except for
one thing, the realization that summing
has become national vogue.
It is no wonder, then, that our popu-
lation annually sports a variety OF
shades from light tan to deep mahog-
any. There are few pale faces.
II a watcher stands for few min
utes on Pennsylvania avenue, any one
of these days, he will see every shade
Of skin in the world, not only sun tan,
as such, but every natural shade, too.
There will be women wearing Far
Eastern dress dragging the ground,
each with a natural tan.
There will be seen young men in
sports toys. and young women, too. oc-
casionally one wearing what seems to
be sort or type Of bathing suit. And
all well tanned.
Far gone, and well enough, are the
days when police officers were ap-
preached by indignant citizens point

little clothing.
Now we all 60 hatless. and wear as

This and That

It transforms q drab Office worker
into sort of imitation movie star. at
least for the nonce.
The only trouble with this national
acquisition, as thousands find out, Is
that it disappears so quickly.
A few days after vacation, and one
discovers that a good tan fades out
three or four times as quickly as it
was achieved.
Since this is a universal discovery.
many minds have been put to work on
the problem, and most of them make
the following quiet little discovery:
That ones precious coat of tan, as 1t
has been called, can be kept going by
short daily applications. If no more
than brief period in the morning and
slightly longer one in the afternoon.
even the late afternoon.
This is one good result, at least. of
the otherwise rather silly daylight saw
ing.
If the lunch hour is at noon, as 1t
often, is, half Of the time can be put In
standing on the curb in the sunshine.
This win give added impetus to ones
tan, and a popping up OF the spirit,
since we are largely children of the sun.
It is amazing that any one can
stand around on curb without at
tracing attention. In the old days,
there was always q policeman to say,
Move on. there. no lettering" Now
there are no policemen.
