Sen. Tall Assails Government Plans Brannan Farm Plan Criticized By Taft Washington, Dec. 28 — (UP) — Seh. Robert A. Taft. 11., O„ safll today the administration would have to operate "a planned and controlled economy” if it tried to guarantee every worker a Job and every farmer parity prices. In his weekly column for Ohio newspapers, Taft said the ClO's job guarantee proposal and the Brannan farm plan both are designed to assure "everybody in the United States that which he ought to receive.” "That sounds reasonable, too," He said. "Every man ought to have a Job Just the way a farmer ought to have parity, it is a perfectly legitimate goal. Government policy should be directed toward the accomplishment of that goal.” But he said a guarantee “is a very different thing.” To assure every worker a Job, he said, the government "will have to have the power to create Jobs and to go into every business it chooses tor that purpose.” It also would be necessary, he said, for the government to "have the right to tell every man what jyb he must lake and at what wages.” Taft devoted much of his column to the plan of agriculture secretary Charles F. Brannan. Under his proposal, the government would pay direct subsidies to farmers to make up the difference between the market price and support prices. Taft said operation of such a plan would encourage the farmer to raise huge surpluses, thus increasing the size of the government subsidy. He said it could coat the government as much as 16,000,000,000 a year. Thia would compel the government "to impose production controls and tell the farmer what crops he can plant and what animals to feed." he said. "The politics of the Brannan plan,” he said, "is baaed on the theory that the people can be fooled into believing that the government owed them a living and can guarantee utopia to all.” Taft said that hie trip through Ohio has convinced him that neither the farmers nor the workers believe "in any such promises or guarantees.” Two Minor Accidents Are Reported Here Cars driven by Peter Baumann, Berne and Fred Beeler, Decatur route four, collided at 10 o'clock this morning three miles west of Berne on state road 118. No one was hurt but both care were badly damaged. Beeler said his car veered across the road Into the other vehicle when a left front tire blew out. A car driven by Marcus Brodbeck, route three. Decatur, crashed Into the rear of another auto, driven by Thomae Kortenber. Decatur, on U.S. 33 three miles southeast of this city about IS: IS p.m. Tuesday Both cars were damaged considerably. The accidents were investigated by deputy sheriff Bob Shraiuka.

Holiday Decorations Damaged By Vandals Vandals ruthlessly damaged the electric light wires and broke or stole about 30 bulbs from the lighted trees at the Bowers home on Marshall street Monday night. The circuits were repaired and last evening the two trees were ablaze with a couple hundred Christmas lights. The decorated trees have been an attraction each holiday season, giving pleasure to the hundreds who enjoy seeing them lighted during the Yuletide. The thief who maliciously damaged the circuits was tagged “the meanest man in town” for his contemptuous act. Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
