Scientists Driven .' W '7 ■■ .' .7,'' Out Os Government Truman Is Speaker For Veterans Day WELCH, W.Va. (UP» — Former President Harry S. Truman charged today that one of the main reasons this country lags in the earth satellite program is that “character assassins’’ drove many leading scientists out of government service. In an address prepared for a Veterans Day program here, Truman said. “There is no reason in the world why the Russians should be ahead of us in this satellite program.” "It is* all because of the attacks that were made on some of our great scientists.” he declared. Truman said "true Americanism ...is being undermined by some people in this country who are loudly proclaiming that they are its first defenders.” "These people have attacked the basic principle of fair play that underlies our Constitution.” he said. "They are trying to create fear and suspicion among us by the use of slander, not proof; accusations. and just plain lies ” “The growing practice of character assassination is already affecting freedom of speech and is threatening all of our other freedoms. “We had a terrible attack upon the scientists of the United States

who were working on the adaptation of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. These scientists were so much abused that we lost a great many of them,” he said. •They retired and went into schools and other places and that is one of the main reasons why we are behind in this satellite proposition which the Russians have raised above the earth,’’ Truman said. Truck Destroyed By Fire Saturday Night A truck belonging to Jerry Hammond, of neas Monroe, burned up Saturday night on the farm before the Decatur fire department arrived. The origin of the fire is not known. Hammond lives the first house west of Connie’s market. The Decatur fire truck also had motor truoble during the weekend. Says Superiority Os U.S. Is Ended TOKYO W — Radio Peiping, official voice of Communist China. said today the “so-called superiority” of the' United States over Russia is "definitely gone forever”. The “only way open” to the United States is one of “Peaceful coexistence with the Socialist countries and competition under conditions of peace,” a broadcast said. "However, instead of soberly facing reality and revamping U. S. policy, the U. S. president continues to brag about U. S. military strength,” it said.

Series Os Articles On Need Os Price Increase

(Indiana farmers are mad about farm prices, and the growing difference between what they receive and what they receive and what and what they must spend. A conference to collect ideas of farmers on this problem has just been completed at Purdue university, under the suspices of the Indiana Farn> ers Union. It included outstanding speakers, but the real ••meat” at the conference was the afternoon sessions, in which farmers did ail the talking, and former secretaries and undersecretaries at agriculture took notes. These will be the basis for the Farmer's Union agricultural plan to be laid before the next congress. This is the first of a series of articles Which will explain why farmers, small businessmen. manufacturers, and retailers, must be interested in higher prices for farm goods.) More than 500 Indiana farmers, including a representation from Adams county, met at Purdue university last week to develop a farm program to help the farmer. The conference, known as the Indiana Farmers Union farm program development conference, got underway at the Purdue union building Wednesday morning with a welcoming speech by Earl Butz, dean of agriculture at - Purdue. John C. Raber, state president of the Indiana Farmers Union, opened the meeting, and the invocation was given by the Rev. Kenneth Schueler, a Lutheran pastor. Following the opening exercises, Charles F. Branon, secretary of agriculture under President Truman, spoke on “Facts of the farm crisis.” He had graphs and charts set up on the stage of the crowded north ballroom, and pamphlets were passed out to each listener to further explain the facts. Brannen explained that facts from the council of economic advisors showed that using 1951 as a base point of 100, interest returns are now 164. dividends 137, weekly wages in manufacturing, 128; corporate profits after taxes 115; average per person disposable income, Ill; and net income per farm family, 77. Farm income is the only ene Which has decreased, he pointed out. Per person income, non-farm, has increased from 61,833 in 1952 to $2,018 in 1956. Per person income farm, has decreased from $953 to $902 in the same period, based on U.S. department of agricluture figures. While gross farm production expenses have increased from 22.3 billion dollars in 1951 to 22.9 billion dollars in 1957, farm net income has decreased from 16.1 billion dollars to 11.6 billion dollars. Another fact Brannon pointed qut was that prices received by farmers, based upon 1951 as 100, have decreased from 100 to 81. while prices paid by farmers have increased to 105. But have consumers benefited from the farmer's losses, asked Brannon? No, he showed, while prices received by farmers decreased from 100 in 1951 to 81 in 1957, prices for consumers rose for farm food to 103 from 100 in 1951. So lowering prices to farmers does not necessarily lower prices to consumer. In 1951 from each consumer’s food dollar, 48c went to the farmer, and 52c to the processor and wholesaler. By 1957 that figure had changed to 39c to the farmer, and 61c to the processor and wholesaler. Will efficiency on the part of the farmer help him make more income? Absolutely not, Brannon demonstrated. Efficiency output per man hour has increased 17 percent in farming in the 195256 period, and non-farm efficiency has increased only 11 percent. But farm income per person in down 23 percent, while non-farm is up 12 percent. This, of course, is due to the fact nonfarm industries set their own prices, while farmers sell on “the market”. Industry, Brannon said, possesses the market power through control over production and price to protect itself from the burden of surplus. With 7 percent industrial surplus in 1954, industry laid off 9 percent of their workers, reduced productivity 7 percent, raised prices, and maintained profits. Farmers, on the other hand, with little or no power to control their production and prices, saw a 5 percent increase in production bring about a 20 percent decrease in prices and a 23 drop in income per person. The department of

labor and the department of agriculture were the sources for those comparison*. Farm property, Brannon stated, account* for one-sixth of al| privately owned assets in the U. S., and farmers are custodians of 350 million acres of cropland and 500 million acre* of grazing land* and foreat*. The investment per farm worker is twice as high in farming as in industry, with $15,000 invested per farm worker, and $7,500 per industrial worker. “But can Americans, farm or nunfarm, allow the farm economy to fail?” Brannon asked? Despite so-called “surpluse*, by 1957 the the American farmer will be feeding 57 million more than he now feed*. While technology and improved production will help, only a stable rural population of famiy farmers will guarantee a steady food suppy. The present secretary of agricuture, Secretary Ezra Taft Benson, came to office in 1953, and told the American farmer that by lowering farm prices he could cut farm production. He tried this, and while the farm deficit was $1.13 billion the year before the took office, it doubled his first year, then tripled, quadrupled, and finally quintupled, and is now $5.37 billions! Any eighth grader in a county school knows that the lower the price, the more the farmer has to grow to maintain income, he continued. The lower price for farm produce has multiplied the overproduction five times, he explained? The cost of this price support, under high prices to the; farmer, was $67,351,576 per year in 1952 under the Democratic administration with high farm prices.. Under the Republicans, with low support prices, it has grown to a monstrous $1,299,477,342 a year, he continued. In the four years of Republican farm policy, the support program has cost three time the cost of the program in the prior 20 years! Plans Hearings For Licensing Teachers GREENCASTLE (W — Dr. Clinton C. Green, education department head at DePauw University, has announced open hearings will be held Thursday in Indianapolis on requirements for receiving a license to teach in a school.
