|Dozer I'd Time

Once again the State Depart
ment has fired Donald M. Dozer
a historian who was first dis
missed last october on grounds
his work was below standard and
that he was q descriptive" in
f1uence.
Mr.. Dozer was notified by letter
yesterday Of the new action
against him and one Of his at
torneys said the matter would be
appealed to the Civil Service
Commission, on whose orders he
was reinstated last December 81,
The commission directed Mr..
IDoZer's reinstatement. saying II
found the charges against him
were not specific enough. 1t did
not rule on the merits. On the
same day he was restored to his
job with back pay to October 4,
the department filed new charges,
more specific and in greater de-
tail. His firing yesterday stemmed
from this action. Mr.. Dozer has
been making about $4,000 a
year.
Mr., Dozer's lawyer, Kenneth
w. Parkinson. said that II the
commission does not reinstate his
client again. I'VE may resort to
the courts to prove his firing was
arbitrary and capricious."
Mr.. Dozer, so. has blamed his
custer on Democratic FOLLOWERS

Some Farmers
Urged TO Quit
By JOSEPH A. FOX

A spokesman for business said
today that the farm picture Is
not as black as painted. He
suggested that the national In
terest" would be served II nom
prospecting farmers quit and get
other jobs.
Walter B. Carver, manager Of
the agriculture department OF
the Chamber Of Commerce Of
the United States told the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee that
the net income per farm worker
In 1855 was $1,749 and this, he
said. was less than 8 per cent
below the average for six post
war years.
Overall, he said, farm income
showed q drop Of nearly. IS PEI
cent but he ampliiied that there
was q corresponding decrease Of
1.8 million farm workers from
the employed total Of 81 MIL
lion.
He agreed this was not q
rosy" picture.
Figures CHALLENGED
The figures were challenged
by Senator Anderson, Democrat
Iof New Mexico. q former Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, who said
they did not accurately reflect
the economic plight Of the
farmer. Senator Anderson said
that while national income had
gone up at least so per cent
since l947. farm income was
down one-third. Where the
farmer used to get Q twelfth Of
the national income he now re-
ceives but on-thirtieth, he said
When MIR. Carver prescribed
1.-THE eventual voluntary with
drawal Of some Of the families

lis not comparable to that which
they might get elsewhere, Sen
lator Ellender, Democrat Of Lou

asked II the chamber spokesman
was advocating that these peo-
|ple should be sent somewhere
else.
The witness said he was not
but he added that the farm plant
could not be maintained at la
present size and prosper.
Soil Bank Plan
The committee Is now studying
new farm legislation and the
witness said the administration

approach" to the problem Of re-
|ducing crop surpluses and out
put.
The plan calls for q crop cut
back and the retirement Of crop
land, and Mr.. Carver cautioned
that it might partly defeat t.
self by encouraging farmers to
step up production on land not
taken out OF use.
