MEETING HELD BY DAIRYMEN MONDAY NIGHT

PUTNAM UO. GROUP WH-L STKIkU IF WORST COMES TO WORST

More than one hundred Putnam County dairymen attended a meeting in the assembly room of the court house Monday evening, when George Sandifur, President of Dairy Producers, Inc., addressed the meeting. By a show of hands, dairymen present indicated they would support a strike 100 per cent for highei milk prices if the worst come a to the worst. Mr. Sandifur said he was opposed to a strike, only as the last resort, but no producer present was opposed to a strike if it becomes necessary foi the dairymen to get what they feel they deserve. At the present time, 4 per cent milk sells for $4.20, which is about 7 cents per quart, whereas it is delivered to the housewife for more than three times this amount, and in some instances and places is higher. Ward Robertson of Monroe township served as chairman of the meeting, having been elected Putnam county director by the Dairymen. Air. Sandifur said this was his first meeting with Putnam county dairymen on a very serious matter, the question of higher prices for the milk producers. He scored the managers of the Indianapolis distributors, such as Robert Stalwood, Independent Manager; Herbert Littleton, of the Distributors Council and W. S. Brockman, manager of the Co-Operative, Distributors. Mr. Sandifur said the matter of milk distribution in Indianapolis was something like a twenty million dollar business and those in charge are wholly incompetent to operate. He said the directors elected were not representative of the producers and did the bidding of the managers. He said they do not go to bat for the producers, spend their time only for the dollars they get from their meetings. Mr. Sandifur said surplus milk is being brought into the Indianapolis area daily from Ft. Wayne, thus creating a surplus in this area, and is repressing the market. He .sai l every directors meeting cost the producers $200 and they get nothing from it. He said there is sold in Indianapolis one million pounds of milk per day, and this means $43,000 daily for dairy products. Mr. Sandifur said the actions of Dairy Producers, Inc., had already caused the Indianapolis distributors to abolish their proposed price reductions for June and later in the summer. There was a discussion of the proposed Federal Milk order, which many dairymen oppose, but this was not fully explained and therefore was not discussed completelv. Mr. Sandifur said one association cost $68,669 to own last year and with three plants it was costing the producer about $200,000 to operate three associations instead of on*‘ as Dairy producers desire. He urged the selection of good men ami thinking men as directors ami to hire a real dairyman as head of the distributors and they can be had. He cited other cities where farmer-owned cooperatives have prospered and are paying a much higher price for milk than they are in Indiana. He said producers should have at least $5.50 for their milk and if this was the case, it would mean $10,000 daily to the dairymen. H** said there are about 1500 dairymen in this area and they must learn to help themselves. He was opposed to subsidies, but said the government is paying them to railroads, to airlines an:l

to many other lines of business and if they pay one, they should >ay the dairymen. He said the iairymen has invested about 90 >er cent of the costs of a plant, .vhereas the distributor has onlv 10 per cent invested and the ten per cent wags the ninety pei ent end. He closed by answering questions, several of which were asked. At the close of the meeting, "hairman Ward R.obertson. asked for three assistants. They a ere chosen fr om those attending and were Eric Boesen, Warren township. Jesse Ford. Franklin township and Gaylord Pettit, VYashington township. Plans Are Made For Girl Scouts More than forty council members, former members, and interested men and women attended a meeting set up by the Committee for the Sycamore Girl Scout Development Program lasl night. Purpose of the get-to-geth-er, held at the Christian Church, was to present working plans for the proposed area council considering the needs of seven counties being included. They are: Clay. Greene. Parke. Putnam, Sulivan, Vermillion, and Vigo. Out-of-town members attending the meeting included: Mrs. Richard Bloomer, Rockville; Mrs. James Donelson, Brazil; Mrs. Edwin King, Miss O. C. Johnson, Dorothy McCarthy, national field worker and area council director, Terre Haute: and Mrs. Carl Reeves, Columbus. Locally the committee has been represented by Mrs. Walter Ballard and Mrs. Frederick Dettloff. The committee presented welloutlined plans for the proposed development including details concerning both time and money necessary to carry out the program. Tentatively, plans call for the area to be divided into “neighborhoods.” According to Mrs. Reeves, Indiana Girl Scout president, a volunteer worker, the “area plan" was devised to offset the shortage of adult leaders in the face of increased numbers of girls wanting to go into Scout troops. “The Girl Scout program serves mor e girls for less money than any other organization in the United States,” she stated. And further, 'It is a fact that women plan their spending and budget money effectively and Scout councils are made up, for the most part, of women.” Following presentation of formal plans by the 7-county committee, which has been working since January, the listening group asked several questions concerning local application of the set-up relative to cost of maintenance and effectiveness in executing the program. Adoption of the program would almost triple the cost of Girl Scouting in this community. With more girls in Scouting per capita than any other community and an exceptional high rate of persistency in the older troops. Greencastle Scouting personnel indicated that they give careful consideration to a change in operation. Formal proposal of the newly-drafted plans is to be submitted by the development committee and will be voted promptly by the local council. Mrs. Sidney Mandelblatt is president of the Greencastle Girl Scout Council.

“W AS A BAD BIEL" WASHINGTON. April 17. (UP* President Eisenhower on his veto of the farm bill: “I could not sign this bill into law because it was a bad bill. In the months ahead, it would hurt more farmers than it would help. In the long run, it would hurt all farmers." Veto Supported, Also Opposed My I ultotl I'rraa The powerful American Farm Bureau Federation backed President Eisenhower's farm bill veto today. But other cornbelt faria leaders said it will cost the Republicans votes. The national farmers organization, forerunners in the fight tor 100 per cent of parity price supports, said the veto “will bring disillusionment to the entire farm belt at a time when some hopes had been held forth" The national Grange was already on record in favor of the vetoed bill and a North Dakota leader of the National Farmers Union, Glenn Talbott, predicted the veto "will lead to a drastic political revolution against the GOP.” Many midwest Republican governors, such as Indiana’s C^eorge Craig, praised Mr. Eisenhower for vetoing the bill But ,n Iowa, where most GOP leaders backed the bill, some Republican leaders said they were sorry over the President’s decision. The Farm Bueau. representing 1.622.000 farmers, said the veto was based “on sound economic, principles.” It called for swift enactment of a new farm bill containing “ a sound soil bank plan free of counteracting production sti mulating provisions.” The National Live Stock Producers Assn, representing about 500.000 ranchers and farmers, joined in praising the President. It said he had taken a “courageous stand.” Princes Guests Robbed Of Jewels MONACO, April 17- (UP) A New York detective invited by Prince Rainier to attend his wedding was put to work today with four French inspectors in an attempt to stop the jewel thefts that have plagued guests of the prime’s marriage to actress Grace Kelly.

DEMOS SEEK AN ANSWER TO IKE'S VETO

CONCEDE PRIVATELY THEY CAN NOT GET VOTE TO OVERRIDE VETO My I nlta-ri I'reai* Democrats today concentrated sn deciding how they will answer President Eisenhower’s veto of their farm bill. They conceded privately they an t muster enough votes to jverride the veto. Some argued they should give the. President just what he asked for a $1.2 billion soil bank. They said this would point up their charge the GOP isn't doing •nough for farmers. Some suggested bill with price support levels higher than ones set by the administration Monday but not quite as high as in the vetoed bill. And some suggested they pass only a slightly modified version >f the vetoed bill, inviting another veto but showing they arc uncompromising in their fight for the farmer. Mr. Eisenhower urged in a radio-television address to tire nation Monday night that Congress act promptly on a stright soil bank bill. He sprang a surprise on Democrats by proposing that the bill include provision for the gover nment to start making payments of up to 50 percent to par ticipating farmers as early as July 1. Such advance payments t > farmers for signing contracts to produce next year’s planting coin! pump about 500 million dollars into the agricultural economy during this crop year. he said. This was obviously designed to offset Democratic chargej that the soil bank plan is a “long range” measure that offers little immediate help to hard-presscu farmers. ASK STERN ORDERS LONDON.
