Emphasizing that farmers and or
ganized labor should pool their mas
sive resources not only to win eco
nomic gains, but to insure political
victories as well, Patton said:
"Usually-but not always-the
national legislator who votes for
sound farm program will vote for
an equally sound labor program.
And what's more, he will vote in
telligently on other domestic and
international issues.
FARMER-LABoR BLOC NEEDED
Unfortunately, We have too few
of this kind of legislator in either
House or Senate. And it is our fault
that we don't have more. Through
intelligent cooperation, | am sure
that a cohesive farmer-labor bloc
could be established in both the House
and Senate. Such group in the House
and Senate would not only assure
economic justice for the nations farm
and labor families, but it would serve
as a reservoir of liberal, democratic
strength for the entire nation"
Describing the present agricultural
economic scene, Patton said:
"Back in 1862, before tbs admins
tration took office, farm prices-all
of them-averaged 100 per cent of
parity for the 12-month period. Par
ity, of course, is a formula which
measures a fair price for farm prod
ucts. hundred per cent of parity
is 100 per cent of a fair price-no
more, no less.
"Last month, after declining for
almost two straight years, the parity
ratio hit 88. That's SO per cent of
fair price and the lowest the parity
ratio has been since pre-World War
II days of 1941.
FARMER is GETTING LESS
$50 the farmer is getting less
money for the crops he grows.
Now, how does this affect you?
Does it mean that you'll pay less
for the food your wife buys at the
corner grocery? Well, ask your
wife. doubt whether she'll say
food prices are down. | know mine
aren't.
"But here's what lower farm
prices do mean:
''1-Shut down factories.
"2-Unemployed workers.
Farmers are one of the best GUS
toners labor has for the goods it
We farmers buy more
rubber, as much steel, as much crude
petroleum as any other industry. But
when our take-home pay drops, we
cut down on our purchases-just like
you do when your pay is cut.
make no mistake about it. the
farmers take-home pay has been
cut, and cut seriously.

particularly interested in are
the schools how would the

do they compare to our Mary

Former White House Counsel
Clark M. Clifford foresees a
sweeping Democratic victory" at
the polls today--with his party
carrying the House Of Repre-
sentatives by a minimum Of 40
seats. and the Senate by a
minimum of three.
That was his prediction yester-
day before the Woman's Ma
tional Democratic Club.
Speaking at q club luncheon,
Mr.. Clifford pointed to the
hazards Of forecasting election
results the day before voters cast
their ballots. There isn't time
tor it to be forgotten, he pointed
out, and you can't alibi that
something came up at the last
minute, if things go wrong.
He expressed the opinion,
however, thai many are going
to be amazed at the number of
people who go to the polls and
cast Democratic votes"
Mr.. Clifford's confidence was
shared by Mr.. David Lloyd,
chairman Of the Truman Library
Foundation, who introduced the
speaker.
Calling the luncheon a Joyous
occasion, with the happy expec-
tation of victory, Mr.. Lloyd said
the Democrats were even glad
to get some good news of Repub-
licans.
'For instance, we are glad to
have the good news that there
was no poison in Vice President
Nixon's food" he said. "The
poison is only in his speeches, !"

Gains Are Predicted

he added, "and IL he can avoid
dropping his speeches into his
soup. he should remain in good
health
Mr.. Clifford, In discussing this
years campaign, deplored what
he called a planned attack on
the loyalty of a great body OF
American citizens"
He said Democrats believe in a
two-party system. But IL the
intention of Republicans is not to
go to the people on issues but to
destroy party, then we'd better
be on our guard" he declared.
Mr.. Clifford based his predic-
ton Of Democratic victories in
part on his belief that "an ad-
ministration cannot break faith
with large groups Of citizens
without their resenting it," These
groups, he said. include farmers,
the laboring man and consumers.
He said he also thought Ameri-
cans no longer felt the "great
crusade was concerned with the
welfare of all the people" and
the result was a sense Of frus-
tration and resentment.
Considering both specifics and
impond nderables, he added, st be-
lieve you can draw a reasonable
conclusion that the American
people will go to the polls and
cast a protest vote"
Mrs. John s. Graham, presided
at yesterdays luncheon, one of
the largest of the season at the
club. Guests included former
Postmaster General, and Mrs.
Jesse M. Donaldson and Mrs.
Dean Acheson, wife of the for
mer Secretary Of State.

DEAR MISS NISSEN: When
I first met Tom there were SO
many obstacles to a deepening
friendship that it seemed moth
ing short of a miracle to find
ourselves in love with each other.
True, we belong to the same
church, take part in its activities
and have many interests in COM
mon. There, the similarities end.
He is II years my senior and
has been married before. He is
a widower with a son, the boy
and are fond of each other.
However, some people think that
at % I'm too young to take on
the responsibility of a 10-year-
old boy.
All these questions we could
overcome. But the one that ap-
parently can't be surmounted is
to me the most trivial am
three inches taller than Tom. He
says he's talked to other people
about it; but every one agrees
with me that it's very unimpor-

BITING PARAKEET.

A parakeet bites to protect

Do not poke at him with your

run your fingers across the
bars Of his cage. Clean the
cage when he is not in it. He
Is easily frightened, but will
respond to kindness.

Is, Gagged, and tended by giants.
