an example of corporate bigness
The hearings were suspended
until Tuesday when more than
"a score of GIN executives were
asked to return.
Ready to Answer All
Harlow. H. Curtice. GIN presi-
dent. said yesterday his firm has
documentary evidence" to an
swer all complaints made by past
and present GIN dealers to the
Senate group. 1S :"
Some of these dealers have
charged they were put under ex-
Icessive sales pressure, that deal
Iership franchises were taken
away arbitrarily and that they
have been forced to buy equip
'ment they didn't need.
After waiting more than four
hours while several more dealers
registered their gripes, Mr.. Cur
tice took the witness chair and
defended the ethics and prac-
tices followed by GIN in its re-
lations with dealers and the
public.
Senator O'Mahoney said this
would be explored in detail next
week.
Also testifying at yesterdays
session was 80-year-old Alfred P.
Sloan. jr.. chairman of the GIN

development into the worlds

He said General Motors had

Senator Dirksen, Republican

public now is worried about big

asked "how much bigger" GIN
would get.

Ito the farm problem is SOUND"
the Senator said. 1T is neces-
sary for all of us to realize that
farmers were going to have to go
through a period of low income
because of the huge surpluses
piled up under the Democrats.
But the ultimate answer to
the problem is supply and de-
mand and we all know it. It's
a question of how to get there by
the least painful method"
Baruch Offers Program
Meanwhile, elder statesman,
Bernard Baruch. whose interest
in agriculture dates back to the
l920s. offered a five-point pro-
gram for improving the farm
situation.
In a letter to Chairman Ellen
der of the Senate Agriculture
Committee, Mr.. Baruch said the
present farm situation is mot
yet one of acute depression, but
the threat is there"
He recommended these actions
saying much of the present farm
problems could be overcome by
them: Lift the pressure of exist
ing surplus by using part of it
for relief and the remainder in
the Governments Stockpile
against emergencies; take mar
ginal lands sout of production.
planting them in trees to pro-
vide a new source of wealth;
maintain acreage restrictions;
place parity on a flexible basis
to discourage excess production.
keeping always in mind that the
primary purpose is ultimately to
permit agriculture to enjoy full
parity, and expand markets.

Mr.. Inciso is head of Local
