Grocer's Coffee Signs C. onStoy,
Horossed City Officials Rule

+ The other was in a similar vein
Senator Case issued a state
ment saying the regulation
probably is unconstitutional. He
said he would introduce legis-
lation to abrogate it if District
officials didn't clear it up. He
added he didn't agree with Mr.
Garcia's political views.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
and Corporation Counsel Vernon
E. West then conferred. They
came up with the conclusion
Mr.. Garcia was within his
rights.
Mr.. Spencer indicated the
regulation would get a re-study
at the District Building.
The regulation in question
limits signs on buildings to legi-
innate advertising of the bust
ness and its products. 1t allows
small signs proclaiming things
of public interest.
Mr.. Garcia was getting a
laugh. plenty of telephone calls
from coffee drinking sympathiz-
ers and new customers. Before
he heard the ruling in his favor
he installed a polio poster in his
window.
To it he attached a sign OF
his own reading. rs this sign
illegal too? We don't sell polio.

After much official scurrying
around. District officials have
come up with a ruling permitting
Carlos Garcia to complain about
coffee prices on signs in his
grocery window.
Mr.. Garcia's place is at 1923
Columbia road NV.
But, if you want to see the
signs that caused the minor
furore in local officialdom. and
caused Chairman Case, of the
Senate District Committee. to
issue a statement. hurry over.
Mr.. Garcia knows when to stop.
Interest in this will be dead
by the week end" he commented.
I've accomplished my purpose
which was to call attention to
the high price of coffee in a
Joking way"
Anyway" he added, "a abeer
company is supposed to put in
new window display Tuesday"
Until late yesterday, Mr.. Gar
cha faced possible District action
because of a ruling by Assistant
Corporation Counsel Clark King
that the signs violated a city
regulation. One of the signs
reads. I'VE will trade your car
for one pound of coffee if you
will trade the present admins
tration for something better. +"

Wiley Splits Sharply
With Administration
On Parity Program

Chairman Wiley of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
said today he would speak for
vote for and fight for dairy price
support at or above 80 per cent
of parity"
The Wisconsin Senator linked
the welfare of the American
farmer to a successful foreign
policy.
Cites Spending Abroad.
IF we have billions to con-
tribute abroad for our defense" "
Senator Wiley said. Eve should
devote a few hundred millions to
sustain the welfare of the cruc4 n
farm segment of our population
Il believe that to follow any
proposed flexible parity. pro-
gram which would permit dairy
prices to sink still further could
lead to catastrophe. 1t could set
off a chain reaction of economic
disaster for America. Aside from
the merely political considera-
tons of harm to the Republican
Party and the Republican adj
ministration. the health of farm
ing is especially important today
in view Of our worldwide respon-
Sibilities.
Regardless of how the admin
istration may feel on this issue.
I do not believe that the SD
Congress will permit the dairy
men to suffer further and that
it will permit dairy parity to be
lowered"
Many From Farm States.
The implications of any d.
vergence between the admins
tration and the chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee are not lesSened by the
fact that many of the most i'm
portant and articulate members
of the Senate Committee are. like
Senator Wiley, from farm States.
In a statement to the North
American Newspaper Alliance,
the Republican Senator said:
AS chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee I
believe that it would be wrong
for me to be engaged in two
inconsistent detectives abroad
and at home. namely:
Il. To strive. as I will. for
continued sound American mill
tary and economic aid to the
free countries of the world; while
at the same time,
y. Even to consider voting for
a program which would depress
farm prices still further. Such
skidding prices would endanger
Americas prosperity-on which
the whole free world depends.
If we have billions to con-
tribute abroad for our defense,
We should devote a few hundred
millions to sustain the welfare of
the crucial farm segment of our
population. Not only charity. but
also the exercise of enlightened
self-interest should begin at
home. Aid against International
communism has never conSti-
tuted Charity nor has party aid
for American farming.
Actually. the farm program
has not cost a fraction of what
the foreign-aid program has cost.
Moreover. it is not a question of
one program or the other: it is
matter of both programs being
carried out.
Il fully respect the concern
of the administration over the
headache of mounting farm sur
pluses. I believe, however. that
we are not lacking in sufficient
ingenuity and intelligence to
find constructive and immediate
answers TO- the farm-surplus
problem-Without putting the
farmer through the economic
Wringer.
Il do not take this position
simply as the senior Senator
from WisconSin-the leading
dairy State of the Nation. I
take it in the interest of Amer
lea as a whole, in the interest
of dairying as a whole.
