Steelworkers Head Lashes U. S. Steel Assails Insult To Government, Union PITTSBURGH (INS) — David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers Union, has lashed out at what he called a “gratuitous" insult by U. S. Steel Corp, against the government and his union. A statement by McDonald Thursday night said that in reporting record 1955 profits, the steel firm insulted the union and government by calling them "two basic roots" of an Inflationary trend. He declared that gains won by the steel workers through their union have not caused inflation, saying that the cost of the gains to industry has been more .than offset by increased worker productivity. The USW chief added: "Indeed, the corporation mads a neat profit on the wage increase ,Xhp Uicorelical “gefct” to U. S. Steel of the 1955 wage increase was approximately $-10 milliop—the actual cost was zero because of the increase in productivity. —“Bitt the corporation, immediately following the wage increase, raised steel prices $7.50 per ton. This price increase brought in more than $6 million in additional profits for the last six months of 1955—a clear profit of $66 million over and above the theoretical “cost” of the wage Increase.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatur.

House Probers Charge Armed Forces Waste Inefficiencies And Waste Are Charged To Armed Farces WASHINGTON (INS) —House investigators accused the armed forces today of glaring inefficiencies and waste in their multi-bil-lion dollar purchasing and supply programs.

The house appropriations committee made public a "spot investigation” by its staff which defense secretary Charles E. Wilson said made him “mad and sad.” Wilson told the committee "I assure you that this looks like a very bad record.” He said that when he went to i his office after spending a Sunday reading the investigators’ report, “I said. 'Well, I am mad, and sad.' I did not like that kind of a record. I was sad to have such a poor relative performance with your good committee and that is about all I can say about it.” But Wilson and other defense aides added that conditions have improved in the past three years and pointed out that the military procurement and supply programs pose a vast problem which is not helped by constant turnover in personnel. Army assistant secretary Frank H. Higgins in charge of logistics told the committee that army purchasing is not the same as industry procurement. He said; "Procurement in industry means dollars. Procurement in the army means dollars and lives. And alien thete's a choice between lives and dollars, we have to choose the lives." _ ,Air~ 7 ~“ Wickard Proposes Three-Point Plan Farm Situation Is Termed As Serious WABASH, Ind. (INS) -Ex-secre-tary of agricuitartj Claude R. Wickard offered a thret-polnt program to assure that "the most stabilizing .influence in cur entire nation" mil not be destroyed. Wickard, DetaocfiaUi: candidate for the job now held by V. .8. Senator Homer E. Capehart, told ■the farmer-businessman’s meet-, ing of the Wabash Exchange club Thursday night that the farm situation today is as serious as it was in the 1920 s when a farm depression preceded a national depression in the 19305. He proposed: T “Three things have to be done: “1. To expand demand for our agricultural products in all peaceful ways. “2. We must keep the supply in balance with the demand. “3. We must take positive steps tc see that farm income is sufficient to keep agriculture sound and progressive." Wickard said the small American! farmer has done all hecan do to' Help himself and the nation but is being penalized for his efforts “to see there is A plentiful supply of food and fiber for the nation." He noted that the “little too much” produced by farmers to assure plenty is what usually sets the price for the entire output. Wickaid said also that the American farmer is working an average of 57 hour per week as compared ’• to an average Os 30 hours for the non-farmer worker but receives about one-third as much for his ; wor kas does the city worker. Wickard also asserted that the average age of the American farm-7 er today is “dangerously near' sixty” and young people are Waring the faj-m because |t„ takes sen much money to get started in farmftig today.'He said: - - | “If conditions continue as we' have them today, we will begin to! see the farms drifting into larger; and larger holdings and the cor-| poration type of ownership and ' Operation will become more and* more commop. . .we will destroy j the best system of farming' the; tforld has ever known. Further-* more, we will destroy the most | stabilizing influence In our entire i nation.” Eight Egyptians Die In Railroad Wreck CAIRO (INS) —Fifteen American tourists were aboard the Cairo-1 to-Aswan express when it was. wrecked today but apparently none I of them tfas Injured in the crash that took eight Egyptian lives. The report on the Americans came from the American Express tourist office at Cairo. The ministry- of the interior said the eight persons killed and the six injured were all Egyptions.

Fight To Continue On Farm Supports Joint Conference To Study Measure WASHINGTON (INS)—The possibility loomed today that there will be a rerun in both house and senate of the Jong fight over farm price supports. The tip-off on what may be ahead came when Sen. George D. Aiken (R Ve); indicated he has no hope of beating down a return to 90 per eent price supports in the senatehouse conference on farm bills passed by both houses. Aiken, who is leading the battle for the administration's flexible price support program, told newsmen he would “doubt" there was any chance of getting eight of the ten conferees to accept less than the high rigid supports backed by a majority of Democrats. He indicated he expects the conference to recommend a one-year restoration of 90 per cent supports. He said this likely will mean new votes on the whole question in the senate and probably in the house, which would be.jhe first to act. Meanwhile, §en. Clinton P.~ Anderson (D N. Mex.), former "agriculture secretary, resigned from the senate agriculture committee. Anderson opposed the Democratic drive feir 90 per cent supports throughout the debate — in committee and on the floor. the New Mexico Democrat declared he believed the price support issue should have been handled separately from the soil bank and the non-contreversial items included in the omnibus measure. Anderson was apopinted to the ff ; nance committee.

Notion Leads Farm Scientific Progress Is Big Advantage On Other Nations WASHINGTON (INS)—A revolution seems to be taking place in American agriculture today — one that historians may one day refer to as America's post-war farm boom. The “boom," of course, does not refer to farm income which has continued to sag since 1951. But in the field of farm scientific progress, this nation leads all others. In fact, as department officials have pointed out, the efficiency of America's agricultural production made possible by farm science , gives the U. S. a big advantage over nations that must use 50 to 60 per cent of their manpower to provide essential food needs. Research, a primary key which has unlocked and continues to unlock many past and present agricultural mysteries and obstacles, has often been overlooked by those who would credit farm advances to other causes. The fact is that America's farm research, spearheaded in the agriculture department by Dr. Byron T. Shaw, its research director, has helped raise this nation’s living standards to the great height enjoyed today. It’s safe to say that the nation receives more benefits than it invests for agricultural research by the federal government, which is currently about 83 million dollars. As Dr. Shaw points out, it's hard to realize how fast agricultural efficiency has improved. For example. in 1939, American farmers produced a two and one-half billion bushel crop of corn on 88 million acres. Last year, they produced 30 per cent more on 80 million acres. And what has taken place in corn production supplies equally to virtually all other major crops. The same may be said for livestock. There are now two million fewer dairy cows than there were 15 years ago. But each cow produces a half-ton more milk in a year now than was produced by a single cow in the 1940’5. For every two eggs laid by one hen in 1940, her descendent is laying three today. Moreover, we have 95 million cattle on the same pastures and rangelands today that supported 70 million head in 1940 And there are 100 million hogs on our farms today compared to the sgme farm plant that carried 75 million in 1940. But, as Dr. Shaw says, these figures alone don't tell the whole story. Manpower figures are also signincanL ln the fit st world war, the U. S. produced its farm commodities with 13,500,000 workers and in the second world war with 10,500,000. Today, there are only eight million farm workers, roughly 12 per cent of the nation’s total labor force, but one farm worker provides enough for himself and 18 others. ..... . t>~ If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.
