gram, and the power program
of the Eisenhower administra-

Senator Estes Kefauver, in a talk
following a $50 dinner program
at the Lalonde hotel, sponsored
by the Richland County Kefauver
for President Club here Tues
day evening. Henry Schepens,
president of the club, introduced
Mrs. Knutson.
Speaking on the farm program
and the drop in farm buying
power, she stated that farm in
come has fallen 1/3 since 1851,
that young people are leaving
the farm for other work, and
that more and more farmers who
do remain r seeking part time
employment in non-farm work.
This lack Of buying power hurts
everyone In the community,
banks, business houses, and the
working people, since 1t means
fewer sales, and fewer jobs. She
declared that a tractor which
could be bought with 81 hogs In
l947 now costs "a hogs, and that
a corr picker which cost 468
bushels of corn then, costs 1878

that such a program include the
lighter weights of livestock with
incentive payments to farmers
marketing such livestock rang
ing from 81 to SO per hundred
weight. She also urged liberal
lied credit for farmers. She de-
clared that SURPRISES are really
a blessing and to reduce them
favored a three point program of
using them for needy Americans,
sending some to the needy abroad
and establishment of strategic
reserves of wheat, corn and cot
ton similar to the reserves of
metals.
She also stated that the Sugar
Bill now in congress will give do
mestic sugar producers $50 of
the increase in consumer mar
kets, a marked change from the
previous policy, which has given
the lions share of such increases
to Cuban producers. This bill is

Estes Kefauver is the only per-
son who has made this admins
trati0n back down on anything,
and he made the President back
down on this immoral Dixon

Praising Senator Kefauver for
his record, she declared that he
has always favored the small
business man, labor, and the
white collar worker, and has
worked consistently against the
Taft-Hartley law. "His labor rec
ord is not just good - it's per-

ey was against him and fought
him in Tennessee but he won by
a huge percentage. 1t was not
the Republicans who won for
him in Minnesota. He is a good
vote getter and has a good farm
program and a good record.
Comparing the Republican and
Democratic parties, she likened
them to two bottles of milk, one
with the cream allowed to rise,

the other quart homogenized,
with the cream all through; and
