Coo ley of North Carolina, Chairman of the House Committee on Agricul ture, declared today “the fight for parity of income for farmers and their families will go on, as it must of necessity go on.” “Our effort to bring about a sub stantial improvement in farm prices in 1956, by restoration of 90 percent of partiy supports, has met with a Presidential veto,” he said. “But the interest of all our peo ple requires that we keep vip the fight. “The farmers always have been the first to suffer in a depression. Two years ago, over the vigorous resistance of those of us who have fought for fair prices for farmers, the Congress threw out 90 percent supports for all the basic crops ex cept tobacco, and substituted the flexible, lower level, support pro gram. “Generar farm prices have been going steadily downward, and agri culture in recent months has en tered a deepening recession. “It is the responsibility of all Americans to see that these hard times in agriculture do not again, as in the late 1920’s, drag the whole National into’a depression.” In the present situation, Mr. Cooley said, it is necessary to press for action now on every feature of the vetoed H. R. 12 that tends to stabilize the agricultural economy and which was not specifically stipulated by the President as a reason for his veto. He presented a bill embracing those provisions of H. R. 12 which were not the objects of the veto, and this promptly was passed by the House and is now pending in th'e Senate. “In presenting this bill,” the North Carolinian said, “we are not capitulating. We are only being realistic in the situation that con fronts us.” The new bill embraces provi sions for a soil bank, authorizing expenditures up to $1,250,000,000 a year for this purpose. It provides that the national acreage allotment for cotton for the 1957 and 1958 crops shall not be smaller than the national acre (See COOLEY, Page 8) Middlesex Man Dies As Result of Blow on Head William A.
