Mccarthy Declares
He's Dissatisfied
With Farm Program
BY the Assoeiassd Press

MILWAUKEE,, June 12.-Sen-
ator Mccarthy said today he
thinks some disagreement over
major issues is good for q politi-
cal party and cited the farm
program as an instance where
free discussion would benefit the
Nation.

Senator Mccarthy said in an
interview before his scheduled

gram and I think we should

be reduced gradually to IS per

War Prosperity Cited.
Senator Mccarthy said he
thought that American farm
prosperity frequently has been
maintained at high levels by
war-induced prosperity.

billion dollars fighting a war, we
can spend a few billion to pro-
tect a vital part Of the Nations

said. eff we don't. we may be

ing our economy decline"
Senator Mccarthy, in a speech
o few weeks ago, suggested that
the farm subsidy program be
kept at 100 Of parity level until
readjustment Of the agricultural
economy can be made.
The farm program is only one
of the national issues the Sem
ator said he thought could be

It was expected that Senator

dress this afternoon.
