Proposed Farm
Program Labeled
As Grab Bag

The head of the nations largest
general farm organization labeled
the proposed farm program an
agricultural grab bag, put before
farmers with the implied warning
to "get yours while the getting is
good"
The program would lead to a
regimented agriculture, lower per
family net farm income, inefficient
farm production, higher prices to
consumers, and an increased bur-
den on taxpayers, Charles B.
Shuman, American Farm Bureau
Federation president, said.
"The proposed Agricultural En-
abling Amendments Act of 1861
is a Warmed-oVer version of the
Brannan Plan for compensatory |
Payments and the Poage Bill, a
supply control and direct pay
mentS scheme, both of which have
been overwhelmingly rejected by
past Congresses"
At the present time, most farm
commodities r free of govern
ment production and marketing
controls, Mr.. Shuman noted, en-
phaSizing that the commodities
which have been the least affected
by such restrictions are the ones
that are in the healthiest condition
today.
The proposal to delegate res
possibility for the formulation of
farm programs to commodity COM
mittees would take from Congress
its historic power to legislate and
give it only a limited opportunity
to veto proposed plans.
"The commodity by commodity
approach is divide-and-conquer
technique which would put farm
ers at the mercy of those who
would c~entralize more and more
power in the federal government"
Mr.. Shuman said.
"The Congress should retain the
power to determine the major pro-
visions of farm programs as it
is the only body where all of the
affected people have representa-
ton"
There is an urgent need for new
farm legislation to help farmers
: adjust the production of wheat and
i. feed grains to current market re-
quirementS.
Instead of setting up machinery
/ for the establishment of produc-
ton quotas in terms of pounds,
5 bushels, bales, COWS, sows, and
hens as proposed by the admin
t istration the Congress should face
UP to the wheat and feed grain
: problem = a problem which has
r been aggravated by past control
programs," he said.
e Farm Bureaus cropland adj
e justment program which is pend
ing in Congress would help farm
ers adjust grain production to cur
rent needs by retiring croplanC
and expanding markets.
cit also would protect farmer:
from the market depressing effect

EQlLOf.
The efforts to 'inte-
CRATE soundness" in and
for the us. dollar by urg-
ing Americans to spend
less in foreign countries
apparently does not take into
account that there is a law
which changed the value of
the US. dollar 26 years ago.
May ] quote the Thomas
Act. Public Law 10, approved
by the 73rd Congress, May II,
1888 which clearly indicates
the dollar was changed in
substance and sum, and thus
amended to read ''The dol
lar shall be no more than
90 per cent; and of no less
than so per cent of its pre-
vious content"
Isn't it clear that to de-
value the dollar was a wrong
thing to do? Wasn't it a de-
vice TO "give power and to
bring into being a '"Tax dol
lar" which amounts Ia a 60-
cent dollar or even less?
1T is NOT CLEAR that we
are not upholding the Con
stitution by permitting what
is evidently a "misuSed rul-
ing power TO tax beyond the
illegal integrity Of the dol
lar" when we make income
tax returns or accept the
withholding taxi"
Previous to devalu
citizens went through periods
of depression, but never the
multitude of other national
ills which now affect us all.
Since the u. S, dollar is
the measuring stick by which
we calculate payment for
services and commodities, We
must see what harm was
done when the yardstick has
been short-ehanged 40 to so

poses, Within our legal sys.

Boothe Denies Action
In Arlington Contest

Two Arlington legislators yes
terday angrily accused State
Senator Armistead Boothe of
getting himself involved in the
political brawl for control OF
the county's Democratic Exec
utive Committee. Mr.. Boothe
denied any role in the COM
mittee race.
Delegates Harrison Mann
and william Winston, both of
whom previously Endorsed the
candidacy of Mr.. Boothe for
lieutenant governor, linked him
with a guide ballot" which
they charged advocates cleo
ton of ultra-liberal candidates
for the committee.
Immediately denying any re-
sponsibility for the controver-
sial ballots, Mr.. Boothe replied:
ION my honor. neither / nor
my running mates. eli Ste
phens and Mummy Boyd, are
taking any part. directly or in
directly in the fight for seats
on the Arlington Executive
Committee. We have friends on
both sides Of this local contest
and the scrap is none Of our
business" Mr.. Boothe is run
ming on a ticket with 1t. Gov.
A. E. S. Stephens for governor
and T. Munford Boyd for at
torney general.
Mrs. Mary Marshall, the
leader Of a liberal faction try
ing to wreSt control of the COM
mittee from the group to which
Mr.. Mann and Mr.. Winston
belong. announced she was re-
sponSible for the ballots.
Ballots No Official
1.-THE Forward Virginian
Guide Ballots being distributed
in Arlington for the ticket of
Stephens-B oothe Boyd are not
the official ballots of the Ste
phen- Boothe-Boyd campaign
committee. They were made up
by a group of supporters of the
Forward Virginian under my
direction and have been made
available to workers who wish
to use them"
The ballots, which bore the
names of Mr.. Stephens, Mr..
Boothe and Mr.. Boyd and con-
tanned space for insertion of
the names Of committee candi-
dates, apparently have been
circulated by some Of the
liberals.
"In view Of the fact that the
Stephens-Bo othe ticket does
not have q sample ballot, ex-
cept the one providing the left
wing Endorsement, it has all the
earmarks Of a joint effort to
bamboozle the voting public
without taking responsibility

DOveI Backed Strongly
The Tenth Congressional
District, next to Washington,
D. c.. split its "a notes.-the
largest single block at the con-
vention.
Fairfax County's Al votes and
Falls Church's 8 votes we're for
Mr.. Henderson, while Arlington
County's 81 and Alexandria's Is
went to Mr.. Pearson.
Two other northern Virginia
areas-the Second and Eighth
Congressional Districts-voted
solidly for Mr.. Dovel on the
first ballot. giving him IS of
his los votes.
The Eighth District delega-
ton, headed by Jack Middleton
of Fauquier County, held q
caucus and decided to release
each county and city to vote
for its favorite candidate. Be-
fore they could test their votes,
however, the city Of Norfolk
switched its 26 votes from Mr..
Henderson to Mr.. Pearson, and
this started the move which led
to the unanimous nomination.
Other Slots Open
Party leaders seemed unable
to find volunteers to run for
the second and third-place
spots on the ticket.
G. o. p. State Chairman I
Lee Potter of Arlington had
indicated Friday that the Re-
publicanS' best chance was for
capturing the lieutenant-gov-
ernorship because the two
Democratic candidates for this
office represent such opposite
political views.
Earlier today, the G. o. p.
convention approved a plat
form which opposes a State
wide sales tax. 1t favored, how
ever, giving localities the au-
thority to impose the levy.
