need water for recreation for

Many Of you here today are
farmers. You have had par
ticular reason to feel the neglect
and the indifference of q big
business administration. For
three years, the Republican
leaders watched farm prices fall
with philosophical calm. This is
the nice polite way Of saying
they did nothing until election

Then we had another taste
Of the famous leap-year lib
eralism Of the COP. They seized
on the soil bank to con-
serve the soil but to conserve
the farm vote. The soil bank

farmers don't like that any
better than do.

hover vetoed the farm bill this

promptly raised support prices,
1t looked suspiciously like a
triumph Of political expediency
over his economic principles.
Yet the President, the other
evening. said I'VE must never in
Q spirit Of partisan warfare treat
the farmer as q kind Of political
prize to be fought for and
captured" And what's more, I'm
told he said it with q straight
face.
He said the Republican Party
is pledged to the sustaining Of
80 per cent Of parity price sup
ports and 1t pledged even more
than that-to helping the farmer
obtain his full parity, 100 per cent
lof parity with a guarantee of
price supports at 30.
Well. / would ask the Presi-
dent to tell us tomorrow night
when he speaks at Peoria, Ill, on
farm policy. precisely what his
administration has done to fulfill
these pledges to the American
farmer.
Spread in Cattle Prices
Here. in Oklahoma, you cattle
men have had . particularly

Eisenhower administration has
gone through the motions of

Sees Threat in Bigness
In the few minutes we are to-
Igether this afternoon want to
talk to you about the people who
run their own farms. keep store,
work for themselves. These
people are an issue in this cam
paign. Their prosperity, posi-
bly, even their existence, is being
threatened. They are threatened
by what a great man and a great
justice Of the Supreme Court
once called "the curse Of big
ness" They are in danger Of
being swallowed up by big cor
porations In alliance with big
government in q world which has
become dangerously Indifferent
to the, fate Of the little man.
This threat Of bigness shows
itself in many forms.
It shows itself In the struggle
Iof the farmer to survive--in the
fact that the family farmer In
many parts Of our country has
his back to the wall.
It shows itself In the tendency
for big business to become bigger
and for the small businessman
to be squeezed out.
This force shows itself in the
tendency to build an America so
massive and so impersonal that
the ordinary individual feels
|dwarfed and powerless in the
shadow of bigness.
The danger is not new. Big
ness has been on the verge Of
triumph before. But always
when the danger was greatest o
leader appeared who spoke for
the ordinary man--the small
farmer, the small businessman.
the worker.

tive, William Jennings Bryan

NAACP Wins Court
Tilt on Ban i'm Louisiana

MANAGE in the Federal court
last March 20. The Federal
court will then decide whether
II has jurisdiction and whether
II will hear he case.
II may. require both sides to
file briefs on the question Of
jurisdiction and hold a hearing
before rendering a decision. Or
II may take jurisdiction and re-
quire the filing of briefs on the
issue and then hold a hearing.
II the Federal court for any
reason should not hear the case,
the matter will doubtless be
brought promptly again in the
state lower court by the state
attorneys and the state court
could be expected to grant the
injunction all over again.
This weeks ruling means that

branches in Louisiana will be

The Council has set Wednes-
day. January Is at 1880 am.
for a public hearing in its
chambers at the new City
County Building.
The public hearing was set
after an ordinance was introd-

permit creameries to discontinue
putting dates on milk.
If there are no objections at
the public hearing, undoubtedly
the ordinance will be adopted.
Originally, creameries were re-

pasteurization on each bottle
but a number of years ago the
Council, to help the milk indus

to permit milk to be stamped
