farm prices and keep this “cloud” ! from destroying an otherwise prosperous economy. Freeman urged adoption also of production payment to farmers. Such payments were the key of the controversial Brannan plan which congress shelved during the Truman administration. * f’' The governor said high, fixed supports should not be confined to wheat, rice, tobacco and other basic crops as a bill the house passed last year over administra-■ tion opposition. He said higher supports should apply “to all products which are in fact basic to . agriculture.”

Washington Center I Os Anti-Americanism Groups Are Cited In Manion Address SOUTH BEND. Ind. (INS) *- Washington was pictured as a center of antl-Amerkaniani by Chib ence E. Manion, former dean of the Unievrsity of Notre Dame law school, tn a radio address Sunday night. Manion said: “Washington contains a centrgt pressure power plant through which many anti-American groups seek to destroy the solvency and sovereignty of the United States. The most active of these groups are labor bosses, wasteful spenders. domestic power centralisers and fumbling foreign entanglers.” Manion maintained that these elements are leading the attack against the Bricker amendment, adding: “Why are those who oppose the Bricker amendment the sa/ne People who are trying to destroy the anti-subversive protections of the internal security act and the Mc-Carrau-Walter immigragion law? “What ts there about federal control of education that attraoia the support of those who work for perpetual and ever-increasing for eign aid? "Why do labor politicians fight against adoption of the Bricker amendment? “The answer is that there is one central political anti-American power plant. International Socialism. which feeds current 'to groups Inimical to constitutional government.’* EXCESSIVE HIGH (Continued From Page One) off a stream of sparks like the tail of a comet. Some of the passengers were hurled through windows as the train went over. Then the caijs fell on them and they were ground to pieces. -- ~ " , One of those who reached the wreck a few minutes after it hap pened said* "It was just a mess of arms and legs.” As the ill-fated train came to a grinding stop, the sickening sound it made merged with the piercing screams of the dying trapped in the cars. Mrs. Mary M. Kirkpatrick, of Vista, Calif., one of the not-too-seriously-injured. Said from her hospital wheelchair: "Everything seemed to split wide open. The seats and the peo; pie took- off in all directions. Ji was horrible. I found myself lying on top of a woman. I believe she was dead.” Daniel J. Caesorotti and C. W, Drees, the first ambulance drivers to reach the wreck, said: “Bodies and parts of bodies were everywhere. Many of the passengers were crushed in their seats. Others had been thrown through the windows and crushed by the train. We didn’t see anybody who wasn't injured.” They added: "We gave them morphine until we didn’t have any more — and still there were people screaming out in pain. It was like a nightmare. When we got there we found the two cars tipped over. We climbed up on the top of them and broke windows so we could climb inside. There were screams end moans all about ng. It was horrible." As news of the catastrophe spread, thousands of persons, afoot and in cars, flocked tp the area.

Score Wilson | For Handling Os Supplies House Committee Lashes Handling Os Military Supplies WASHINGTON (INS) — A House subcommittee has drafted what It terms a "serious indictment" of defense secretary Charles E. Wilson for his handling of military supply policies. The house government operations subcommittee, in a report now before the full committee, also questioned the efficiency of businessmen in government. The report was signed by the Democratic majority of the group, headed by Rep. William L. Dawson (D III.) It declared: "Your committee concludes from the testimony of high defense officials, themselves prominent in business, that there is a very definite limit to the transferability of know-how from private business to government administration.” The report* has been held up by the full government operations committee, aides stated, because several Republican members said they have not had time to study it The Dawson group conducted an investigation last spring into Hoover commission charges of 'waste in the Pentagon supply system. A task force of the commission o n government reorganization, which former President Herbert Hoover beaded, included among its charges the statement that the navy had on hand enough canned hamburgers to last 60 years. The subcommittee, also directed some criticism at the Hoover group itself, contending it made "inconsistent" statements in its findings and had failed to “integrate” its work." In hitting at Wilson and his assistants in the defense department, the report charged that they violated the “express mandate” of congress by failing to administer the supply set-up on an integrated basis. Washington — President Harding was the first to use the radio. President Truman was first to be seen on television.
