Stangland Urges Farm Act Repeal CHICAGO (UPD—Ethan Stangland. the Hoosier farmer who lost a lengthy legal battle with the government over possession of his tractor, called Saturday for repeal of the act which cost him the tractor. Stangland, speaking at a panel discussion of the '“lndependent Farmers for a New Party,” said the Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1938, now in effect, has cost farmers their independence. Repeal would be a blow to socialism, he said. Stangland, of Albion, Ind., said the farm program "takes away the American principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” “We farmers have lost our property,” said Stangland. who is president of the Independent Farmers of Indiana. “The real issue of the farm program is property rights. We have lost the constitutional guarantees ot life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness because we have los control ors ou farm lands to the I government.” I Over 2,500 Dally Democrats ar* | sold and delivered in Decatur i each day.
