Republican Attacks GOP Farm Policies Flexible Support Program Assailed BROOKINGS, S. D. (INS) — A OOP state legislator indirectly ati tacked Rpublican farm policy today by saying that the administration of an agricultural program is as important as the legislation itself. South Dakota state senator Harold Oolfeth bf Erwin, S. D„ told U. S. senators who are seeking information for what may be an entirely new farm law: "We are definitely opposed to any type of sliding scale price supports." Agriculture secretary Ezra Tait Benson had adamantly defended flexible supports which took partial effect for 1955 crops. Golfeth, who also is vice-presi-dent of the State Farmers Union, made his remarks in a statement prepared for delivery before the senate agricultural committee in the fourth day of its country wide hearing on the highly explosive farm price issue. Golfeth had one point in common with most of the endless parade of witnesses the committee heard earlier this week in St Paul, Worthington, Minn., and Des Moines. He endorsed "a conservation accreage research program in which

Round-Year Chore For Circus Doctor* CHICAGO (INS)—When the circus big top comes down for the winter and performers are shaping up new acts, J. Y, Henderson will be toiling away at the same role he’s handled for ,a dozen years. He is the veterinarian of Ringling Bros. Barnum A Bailey. Come winter or summer, the nealth of 1.100 animal stars is a round-the-clock chore for Doc Henderson. But he doesn't hanker for a change. A 47-year-old Texan, he has the traditionally lean and lined-face look of the rangeland. Yet he tends his “herd” with kingsize needles and jumbo doses of vaccines, serums, penicillin and sulfa. He has been doing this since 1941 when John North, head of the circus, dragged him out of bed at 1 a. m. Interviewew recently in Chicago, Henderson related: “I'd finished a course in animal husbandry at Texas A & M and figured on doing farm work. Theji I got this phone call. • Mr. North wanted to know if I’d come to work with him. I said, yes. I "All the time I was thinking: I when 1 was a young'un i told my

Ma, ‘l’m going to be a vet with the Ringling Bros. Circus.* But you know, I never figured I actually would!” Instead of steers and chickens, Henderson tends 94 horses and 54 elephants. There also are gorillas, baboons, chimpanzees, zebras, giraffes, camels and the cats — tigers, lions, pumas, leopards and cheetahs. The one-time farm boy of Kerrville, Tex., said he must deal with “lameness” more than disease. He said:' “Much of it is arthritic. But with animals they usually call it I>ld age' and let them go.” His job is to keep as many as possible. He once spared four horses from the'retirement list by treatment for tendon inflammation with human-type antibiotics. Injuries are another headache. He said: "Horses are the worst problems —they have no sense of self preservation. They'll bang their heads on poles, walk into stakes and step into holes.” Henderson said he never faced an epidemic or a bad disease case. He explained the animals are tested, vaccinated and "cleared” by the Florida state health officials each spring before the circus leaves its winter quarters at Sarasota. / The fall return to Sarasota is truly a homecoming tor Henderson. His wife remains there keeping house for theft? two daughters, Jenny, 24, and fiefia, 16. 4

Two-Price Plan On Crops Is Endorsed Farm Plan Favored By Senator Russell WASHINGTON (INS) • Sen. Richard B. Russell (D Ga.), today endorsed a "two-price” government farm plan which would guarantee 100 per cent price support for basic crops under allotment and no support for excess production. The senate armed services chairman, long an authority on soil conservation and other farm problems, also endorsed the idea of payments for retirement of marginal farm acreage. But he went firmly on record against providing 90 per cent rigid price supports for perishable farm products like those of the dairy Industry. Russell said it had always made sense to assure the basic farm crops - wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco and rice - 90 per cent price supports which were in effect before the 75-90 per cent "flexible’* program went into operation this year. He contended that “it you maintain the basics at 90 per cent it helps the lesser commodities.” But he added: “I favor a two-price plan that would guarantee 100 per cent of parity for the products produced under allotments for domestic con-

sumption, and whioh would let the farmer take his chances on what he produced in excess for foreign consumption.” He said that this approach would assure the small cotton farmer, for example, that he ijould get 100 per cent price suppdft on the cotton grown under his allotment. The senator said he believes the Idea of a supplementary farm aid program whereby farmers would be paid to take marginal acreage cut of production has “great possibilities.” ✓ Such a program has been under consideration at the agriculture
