Brademas - Erwin Contest in Full Swing

Bixel Charges Erwin Is One Os Top Takers Os Federal Farm Subsidies

“Only one farm corporation in the Third District of Indiana received over $20,000 in Federal farm subsidies in 1967, the one headed by Third District GOP Congressional Candidate, Will Erwin’’. charged Ernest Bixel, Third District Democratic Committee Chairman, today. “Mr. Erwin’s family farm firm is one of only six in the entire State of Indiana that will get over $40,000 in farm subsidies in 1968,” added Bixel. “Only 26 farmers or farm corporations in all of Indiana received Federal farm payments of over $20,000 last year, and the Triple ‘E’ Farm, of which Erwin is president, was one of this elite group, with a Federal farm subsidy of $21,958,05 under the Feed Grain Program. “Yet Erwin, in a sepech on October 1 this year, said, ‘The fanners really don’t want farm payments’. “Well, Will Erwin certainly wants farm payments, because his Triple ‘E’ farm will have raked in nearly SIIO,OOO in Federal subsidies in the last five years for not raising corn—for doing nothing! “Why has Erwin refused to make a public revelation of his $109,642.53 in Federal subsidies while condemning Federal aid to others?” Bixel noted that Third District Congressman John Brademas championed and voted for an amendment to place a $20,000 ceiling on farm payments to any individual recipient. The amendment. to the Food and Agriculture Act of 1968, was passed by the House but knocked out of the bill by a House-Senate Conference Committee, Bixel said the figures he cited for Erwin’s farm firm payments were drawn from the U. S, Department of Agriculture. Alley-Type Tactic The Erwin-For-Congress headquarters in South Bend answered the Bixel charge immediately, stating, “Apparently Mr. Brademas’s campaign is in deep political trouble, for Mr. Bixel’s statement is the typical alley-type tactic resorted to in desperation. Obviously Mr. Brademas did not have the coin age personally to confront Mr. Erwin with this charge or any real issue in the campaign as Mr. Erwin has repeatedly sought confrontation with the incumbent. The release further stated: "The farm payments referred to are. and have been for many years, a matter of public record and indeed have been openly discussed by Mr. Erwin on T. V. and as late as ten days ago. “The false charge that Will Erwin is opposed to Federal monetary aid to communities in this District is the true hypicrisy of this campaign. Mr. Erwin has consistently and publicly subscribed to the theory that Federal assistance is desirable in, the fields of urban renewal, crime, education, and poverty programs, but that the failure of the present Federal programs to permit more local control has created good waste in these fields. “Bixel is apparently unaware that these payments were made under a Johnson-Humphrey administration program which Brademas supported and which Will Erwin would not have voted for. “The truth is that the Johnson-

Charges Bixel And South Bend Tribune

With 'Deliberate Concealment’

Ed Smith charged today: “Will Erwin is fighting a big city machine and the metropolitan press that supports it.” “Through Brademas’s hatchet man, Ernest Bixel (third district Democrat chairman) and the South Bend Tribune, Erwin has been accused of ‘deliberately concealing’ Federal farm payments and of being against all Federal subsidies of any type. Both statements are utterly false and, in my opinion, dirty politics. “Let me also quote what Brademas said at an Eastern fundraising cocktail party: (Washington Post, September 27) ‘During a campaign year, when your survival is at stake, you get shameless.’ I agree. It is shameless of Brademas to resort to these tactics. We don’t intend to drop to that level. Although they have dragged Will Erwin’s family into this campaign, we don’t intend to drag the Brademas family in. “Mr. Brademas, through his hatchet man, is criticizing Erwin for complying with a Federal program Brademas voted for and which is absolutely 100 per cent legal. I think his position is absurd. They have also stated that Erwin tried to ‘deliberately conceal’ these payments which is totally false. These payments have long been a matter of public record and have been frequently reported on all news media in the district. Will Erwin has never attempted to conceal these payments. A man who has something to conceal does not request public debates with his opponent as he has. They further falsify his record by claiming he is against Federal subsidies for Hoosiers. He has never stated such a position. “The farm payment program under which Erwin’s farm corporation received payments is the Johnson - Humphrey program. John Brademas voted for that program and repeatedly supported it. Now, if he is worried about hypocritical campaign tactics, why has he changed his position? “We must have a program that will get the Federal government out of agriculture. Erwin’s suggestions have been outlined in his white paper on agriculture. This is just one area where the methods of the Johnson-Hum-phrey - Brademas administration have been a failure and another reason to replace them with a whole new team. “In sum, Mr. Brademas’s charge against Erwin, and the Humphrey-Brademas farm program has created the w'orst agricultural depression since the 30’s with its price manipulation. This Johnson - Humphrey - Brademas leadership, which took the richest nation in the world with the most fertile land in the world and the most efficient farmers in the world, put it in a program of farm payments and created a depression, should be thrown out.”

understanding of business, farming and the electorate that it represents, exhibits the ultimate degree in Bad Business, Bad Farming and Bad Politics. Every businessman, farmer and voter who has studied his voting record would agree. And that is why I say the people of the third district need a Congressman who says what he means and will vote what he says. In my opinion, that man is Will Erwin.” Misses Carol Weisser and Linda Beer of Milford, Joyce Beer of Goshen, and Edna Lehman of Warsaw were in Indianapolis over the week end. They attended church there on Sunday. Mrs. Lloyd Felkner and Chester Felkner of Milford have returned home from their cabin at Big Bear lake, Mich. They arrived home on Monday at 4 p.m.

Full Records Speed Wool Applications Applications for payment under the national wool program will move more quickly if they are accompanied by full and accurate infermation and sales records, Scott Horn, chairman, Kosciusko county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee, said today. On shorn wool sales during the marketing year, program payments are made provided the wool on which the applicant is applying for payment was shorn from sheep or lambs which he has owned for at least 30 days. The sales document should maintain records verifying the 30-day ownership in case such verification is needed. The applicant also reports whether any of the wool on which payment is claimed is the first shearing from lambs that he purchased unshorn. Payments under the program are also made cn unshorn lambs which the applicant has owned for at least 30 days. Since the lamb payments are prorated among the owners who have owned the lambs for the necessary length of time, a full report supported by records on these purchases of unshorn lambs is necessary.

The chairman reminds producers that applications for the 1968 marketing (calendar) year payments under the national wool act may be filed with the county ASCS office any time, but at least by the end of January 1969. Payments on sales during the 1967 market year are now completed; in Kosciusko county, they amounted to $16,000.
