Wickard Favors 100 Per Cent Os Crop Parity Eisenhower's Farm Program Is Biased By Claude Wickard DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS. Chicago (UP) — Former agriculture secretary Claude R. Wickard. U. 8. senatorial nominee from Indiana. Monday recommended the Democratic platform contain a farm plank calling for 100 percent of parity for crops. Wickard was leadoff witness as the platform committee opened a week of hearings on a manifesto for this fall’s election campaign. ; However, attention was focused on the crucial civif rights question. Rep. Ray J. Madden (DInd.) called for a strong civil rights plank. He said he would "work and insist” on a plank also calling for an end to senate fillibusterihg. which has been the death of most civil right/ legislation. Wickard testified as chairman of the Democratic national committee’s advisory committee on agriculture. He said his group recommended a farm plank aimed at achieving 100 percent of parity through price support loans of 90 percent of parity supplemented by direct purchases, subsidy payments, marketing agreements and similar measures. Other advisory committee recommendations included strategic stockpiles of food for use in case of war, an international food bank, a food stamp plan, expansion of the school lunch and milk programs and a step-up in distri-

bution of surpllrt food* and fiber to needy persona in this country and abroad. The proposed plank was designed to cash in on voter unrest in the midwest resulting’ from the price-cost squeeze experienced by farmers this year in the normally Republican states of the central farm belt. Wickard blasted President Elsenhower’s farm program as a ‘travesty.’’ « “in slightly over three and a half years, we have witnessed the dissolution of a prosperious farm economy,” he said. “We have watched thousands upon thousands of small farmers forced from their lands as sources of credit and assistance were trimmed and pruned and often eliminated ruthlessly.” Under the Eisenhower administration, Wickard said, farmers have been rewarded for a “prodigious feat of production . . with a steadily, falling share of our national income, with sanctimonious and unasked-for lectures on mor alitly and a great deal of political double talk.” County Rural Youth Will Meet Thursday Discuss Plans For Rural Youth Camp A meeting if the Adams county rural youth organization will take place Thursday at 8 p. m. at the Decatur Youth and Community Center.
