Farm Support Costs
Are Misrepresented f,
ElIender Charges
BY Allen Drury

Senator Ellender. Democrat. of
Louisiana. charged today that
the Agriculture Department has
engaged in misrepresentation"
of the cost of the present price
support program in order to
paint the picture as black as
the blacklist ink"
The Senator told Karl Loos,
department solicitor testifying
before the Senate Agriculture
Committee on the administra-
tons flexible price support pro-
gram, that Secretary Benson
told the committee in January
the rigid price support program
had cost the Government APP
proximately $7.5 billion in the
years 1932-1953. Now. he said,
the department maintains that
the program costs more than SIG
billion.
Mr.. Loos and Chairman Aiken,
Republican, of Vermont ex-
planned that the SIG billion figure
covered all department opera
tons in the 21-year span, while
the SIS billion referred to &C
tlvities Of the price-supporting
Commodity Credit Corp.
Sees Somebody Wrong.
Brushing these explanations
Indignantly aside, Senator Ellen
der exclaimed:
Evidently somebody is wrong,
and I think the figure is being
raised to blacken this program.
=. l say it is being done with
no other purpose than to mis-
lead the American people as to
the means and the method by
which the price support program
is being administered. to make it
conform to the charge made by
Secretary Benson that if these
great losses continue the Amer
lean people will want to abolish
the program. I believe his
purpose was to paint the picture
as black as the blacklist ink"
Senator Aiken retorted sharply
that he would not presume to
analyze the Secretary's motives.
but if the motive was to mislead
the public. he certainly had
many, many precedents.
Mr.. Loos said he was sure there
was no intention on the part

D. {. Pollution Problem
Discussed on Radio

The public works bill and how
it might help cut down pollution
here was discussed last night by
Mrs. Sanford Randall, of the
District League of Women Voters.
In an interview over Station
WCFM, Mrs. Randall said more
than two-thirds of the pollu-
ton from Washington's sewers
goes right into the Potomac
River.
"An adequate public works
fund would give our city's engi-
neers the equipment needed to
treat sewage SO as to eliminate
this great health menace" she
added.
Mrs. Randall said the league
is willing to accept increased
taxes because we realize they
are essential"

The Army today ordered an
investigation to term n e
whether Corpl. Claude j. Batch

accepted repatriation while a
prisoner of the Communists in

Judge Dimock's order directed
the lila and eight of its prin-

strikes or other activities aimed
at interference with the loading
or unloading of trucks manned
by members of Local 807 of the

The regional Office of the

Although the order did not
apply to Local 807. the latter
voluntarily withdrew it's water

order was signed.
Judge Dimock's order is eff
fective until next Tuesday, when
the lila will be called upon at a
hearing to show cause why a
temporary injunction should not
be issued against it.
The current tieup has muSh-

PASSOVER THEME
BY Martin Silver

We don't know how sublime
our idea is, but it occurs to us
whenever we sit down to a Pass
over Seder that we are, in sense,
approximating the injunction in
the call which one hears outside
of baseball stadia: ''You can't tell
the players without Score-card."
When we sit down to our Seder,
we are given Haggadah. With
out the Haggadah, we would not
know what the import of the oc-
casion was. For all these hum
dreds of years, Jews sit around
a festive board and they are
handed book. Indeed, whenever
Jews gather for serious purposes,
they take up a book. 1t is taken
for granted that Jew is literate.
It is not only universal iteracy
which characterizes our people.
We must also be reminded at
Passover time that we are a peo-
pie which is everlastingly COM
mitted to study and learning.
We are told that the Seder en-
ables every Israelite to recapture
the vicissitudes of his ancestors.
We re-live the anguish of slavery,
the trepidation caused by Pha-
roah's vacillation, the flight to the
Red Sea, the thrill of emancipa-
ton, as though we ourselves were
involved. 1t is true that the Seder
is the dramatization of these stir
ring episodes. 1t is also true that
the Seder is the capsule epitome
of the Jew functioning at his
highest: learning and being re-
fined.

Joe really had problem. His land ranged
from deep sand to tight clay to steep slopes with
shallow soil. This didn't faze Joe-heres what
he did. First he terraced his steepest cultivated
