WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
Both House and Senate-rushing to
get home-passed conference COM
promise farm bill, August II.
1t had had a rocky history. The
bill is an Administration victory and
a defeat for farm bloc legislators
who held out for rigid 90%d-of-parity
supports.
National Farmers Union and
other farm leaders in the Great
Plains states had objected to any
flexible program. With farm prices
2090 lower than 1851, they argued,
now is no time to cut farm income
further. IF farm commodity prices
are cut enough to be noticed in
the market basket, they warned,
there's danger of farm-led de-
preston. Industries depending on
farmer purchases are already in a
recession, they said.
Administration spokesman, along
With Farm Bureau leaders, had ar
gued that continued high price sup
)orts would bankrupt the govern
nent, which has been forced to store
urplus commodities at a growing
ate. If farm prices are permitted

urpluses will diminish.
The new farm bill provides sup

IKE SIGNS TAX BILL, SKINS
CORPORATION ADVANTAGES

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(CNS)-
With all the fanfare and ceremony
of great celebration, President Ell
senhower signed into law revamped
tax bill that gives billions to giant
corporations and only token tax re-
lief for most families.
Putting his signature to the bill,
August 16, Eisenhower carefully out
lined its benefits to low income fami-
lies. Under the law, he said,
Parents may claim their children
as dependents however much the chill
dren earn.
Old people without social secur-
ity get a tax credit equal to what
people draw who have social security.
Taxpayers may claim people who
aren't relatives as dependents if they
provide more than half support.
Farmers can deduct soil conser-
walton expenses up to 25% of their
gross income.
Medical expenses over go of
gross income (instead of 5%) can
be deducted.
Working widows can deduct up
to 5000 year for child care.
People whose employers pay sick
benefits can deduct these benefits up
to 500 week.

question involved in this legislation
is government interference with the
independence of both management
and labor to negotiate whatever kind
of contract they may agree upon.
at is plain that the right to work
legislation interferes with the rights
of both labor and management and
is another example of the pernicious
paternalistic theory that government
can tell both business and labor what
has to be done to be wise and COM
petent in the management of their
affairs.
Il am of the opinion that legisla-
ton of this type might be something
of barrier to large industries con
Kansas for branch plants.
Many corporations desire to settle
their labor problems with we'll or
gained, stable union.
"And most of them desire to do it
on a nationwide basis where the nego-
tiations can all be conducted at one
time and place. The proposed right
to work bill would, of course, bar

Halt Dixon-Yafes

BY Labor's Daily News Service
The Securities and Exchange Com
mission last week was called upon
to enforce its own rules and turn
thumbs down on the Dixon Yates
contract, thus denying to promoters
Of the contract the capital they must
raise to finance the plant they would
build to supply IVA power.
National Farmers Union President
James G. Patton, condemning the
contract, called for the SEC action.
The farm leader stated that "the
commission, under the Holding Com
pany Act, has full authority to turn
thumbs down on the contract since
it IS clearly contrary to public in
terest."
The combines reported plan for
financing the $107 million plant calls
for setting up an operating company
with S5.5 million equity capital draw
ing 9 per cent profits and issuing
$101, 100000 30-year bonds at 3.5
per cent interest to be sold to finan-
cial institutions.
SEC disapproval could knock these
plans awry.

Asked about more favorable treat
ment for corporations, Eisenhower
said, "These include easing of the
so-called penalty tax on accumulated
earnings when necessary for legiti-
mate business purposes, extension of
the carry-back of net operating losses,
and greater flexibility of tax treat
fnent for capitalization and reor-
CARNATIONS.
Said one wag, "The 1854 tax
bill grants relief if you have to
send your children out to work, if
your wife's relatives move in with
you, if you're old and don't have
social security, if you're very sick,
if your husband dies and you have
to get job-or if you're a corpo-
ration stockholder."
The two biggest tax cuts go to (1)
corporate stockholders through ia
vored treatment of dividend income
and ~ to corporations through fast
er depreciation writeoffs of plants
and equipment.

lief goes to less than 2Ooo of the

is 'fair game"
The Maryland "right-to-work"
committee announced it has opened
headquarters here.
Its goal: To have the 1858 Cen
eral Assembly pass legislation
similar to law enacted by Vir-
ginia in 1947.
The Virginia law bans the union
shop.
Meanwhile, the international
typographical Unions convention
at ST. Paul, Mimi, called for a
nationwide fight against so-called

Foreign Affairs-Congress failed

security, Congress has been dominat-

The National Economy-Mainte-

gress, however, persisted in consid-
ering the business recession from the
point of view of the ostrich. 1t failed
to develop legislative action to en-
