put forth more effort in the cause.

parture Saturday night for Den
yer, Colo. to attend the conven-

Sister Lula Moran and Sister
Anna Cromartie are representa-
tiveS from the church. We wish
for them e profitable and an en-
joyable trip.
The morning service was glo-
rious, even though the pastor
was absent, Rev. John Polite, one
of the ministers of the church,
vas in charge and spiritual SER
vice was conducted by him. He
preached a wonderful sermon.
The choir in charge rendered
songs appropriate for the sermon.

also interesting spiritually, and
inspiring. Rev. John Williams was
the minister for the service: The
choir in charge sang beautifully.
Let us remember the sick
members, and go to see them
when we can.

DAVID LAWRENCE

Nobody ever called Harry
Truman a traitor" or "dis-
loyal"-and the former Presi-
dent ought to know it. What
his faulty memory is striving
to recall, rather vaguely, is
that his administration was
attacked in the 1852 and 1854
campaigns for being soft on
communism" That's an issue
which, If Mr.. Truman wants it
so, can readily be revived for
public debate, and the facts
spread upon the record once
more.
For Mr.. Truman has never
explained why he signed two
letters-one on April 80, 1946,
and one on April z. 1917
praising the late Harry Dexter
White whose connection with
q Soviet spy ring had been
called to his attention on
February 4. 1916, by j. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal
Bureau of investigation.
When Attorney General
Brownell disclosed the facts
about the Harry Dexter White
case in November, 1858. he
never called Mr.. Truman dis
loyal" as the Trumanites were
quick to charge in an effort to
evoke sympathy for their side.
What Mr.. Brownell did was to
question the judgment and adj
ministrative efficiency Of the
Truman administration in let
ting Communist stooges slip
through their fingers. The
most carefully worded state
ment of the case came not
from Vice President Nixon or
any other Republican spokes-
man but from Gen. Eisenhower
himself in an address delivered
at Milwaukee. Wis, on Octo-
Der 8, 1852. The prepared text,
which uses the word treason"
three times, reads in part as
follows:
II have come to Milwaukee
tonight to talk with you about
communism and freedom. :.
These two ideas are as OPP
posed as danger is to safety,
as sickness is to health. as
weakness to strength, as dark
ness to light. Great truths
can. at times. be startlingly
simple. This one is Of that
kind. It is so simple a truth
that it seems almost too OBJ
vious. almost stale.
But let not our memories
be too short. Only a few
years have passed since many
moved among us who argued
cunningly against this plain
truth. Their speech was per-
suasive. and their vocabulary
clever. Remember? 1t went
like this: After all. while we

only about 40 per cent of the
growers comply. The others
forego support prices, and grow
what they please, with resultant
'overproduction in both the grain
ana the livestock to which it is
fed.
Under the proposed legislation
failure to comply with acreage
.allotments will mean forfeiture
of payments from the conserva-
ton reserve fund. Cash penal
ties also are provided for breaches
OF the conservation reserve con-
tracts.
Supports Fight Expected
The bill also takes a new tact
in the long search for a program
to rid the Government of about
So billion worth of commodities
acquired under the support pro-
gram, without disrupting the
market. The Secretary of Ag-
riculture is called on to devise a
program within 30 days. and
provision is made for the ap-
pointment of directing head
for this endeavor at $4,000 an
nually.
While the bill largely meets
administration ideas, 1t opens
the way to a battle with the
White House by calling for the
restoration Of high, rigid sup
ports for the basic crops-wheat.
cotton, corn, peanuts and rice
which were abandoned by the
administration two years ago,
for a flexible scale, graded
downward.
This switch also will bring a
fight in the Senate.
An omission from the new bill
is the administration proposal
for a dollar limit on the sup
port payments to individual or
farm corporations. This move
was designed to cut off some Of
the big payments that have
been e0'ng to corporate opera
lions. t opponents said II
would n work out.
