f|B8 If UK IN WASHINGTON These were dog dayi in Wash lniton with all members of con gress jwmy in tbeir respective bailiwicks except possibly a few members of the house un-Amer ican activities commltte, with a lull in the spy and loyalty probes. But the air was thick with charges and counter-charge* from organizations and indivi duals concerning a host of issues, some not necessarily campaign issues but all relative to govern mental action. The United States Chamber of Commerce which tome members of congress have charted with deliberately driving a wedge be tween farmers and li.bor has joined the chorus of those de claring farm prices a major fac tor in the present inflationary spiral. The National Council of Parm er Cooperatives continues its tiff with the Chicago Tribune which declared cooperatives are a, "menace" and " a parasite in the country's economy Says the National Co-op Council: "The Chicago Tribune is a member of a cooperative ? the Associated Press." The Equitable Life Insurance TIIS TEST REVEALED NO TNROAT IRRITATION ORE TO SMOKING CAMELS! In a recent test, hundreds of men end women smok ed Camels ? and only Camels? an average of one to two packages a day ? for 30 consecutive days. Each week their throats were examined by noted throat specialists? a total of 2470 examinations ? and they found not one single case of throat ir ritation due to smoking ? ?

Apparently the Equitable, like Senator Taft, would rather see bond prices drop than use controls to bait price increases. Says the Associated Coopera tives, Inc.: "The 80th congress has demonstrated that it is putty in the hands of the giant cor porations and far from doing anything to hamper them, it falls over itself to do their bidding . . . the federal trade commission might as well have saved its breath when it told congress that unless the steadily increasing power of giant corporations Is curbed, the country will go down the road to collectivism." And the National Economic Council of Wall street charges that President Truman's anti-in flation proposals are "unrealis tic, unsound and contradictory." All three farm groups, the Na tional Grange, the Farm Bureau Federation ? and the National Farmers Union have reached unity in condemning lack of action in adhering to the inter national wheat agreement. All .three organizations supported ratification of the agreement. Says the National Grange: "The international wheat agreement was killed and ob servers generally agree it is quite unlikely that other nations will invest years of time and some millions of dollars in further negotiations without some as surance that agreements arrived at will be acted on by congress." All three national farm organi zations also have joined hands in the fight against the charge that the farm twice support program is cause for high food prices or the inflationary spiral. Says Al lan Kline, president of the American Farm Bureau Federa tion: "Expanding purchasing power in relation to supply of consumable Roods is causing in flation, not price supports." Says the National Farmers Un ion: "About the only constructive piece of legislation to come out of the 80th congress was the price support program for agriculture . . . (which) is all that came out of the long and carefully con ducted hearings on the Aiken and Hope bills ... It isn't the answer, but it is % step in the right direction." The Veterans of Foreign Wars and Amvets in national conven tions scored congress for failure to pass low cost rental housing legislation and the Spanish American War Veterans in 50th annual encampment here urged a strong national guard ? a stock pile of munitions and weapons ? peacetime draft ? freezing of all commerce, finance, wages and prices in an emergency ? curb of communist organizations, elimi nation of communists in govern ment jobs and prevention of sub versive agents entering the Uni ted States.

Some small business lead ers charge the Capehart advisory committee is "packed" with re presentatives of big business. Says the Interstate Merchant, house argan for the distributing industry: "Fifteen members of the fcommittee represent the largest concerns in the country . . . from this list there doss not appear to be any small business representatives ... in other word*, monopoly is demanding a continuation of its advantage." TRUMAN WILL VISIT CAROLINA Raleigh ? President Truman, "if at all possible," will come to Raleigh in mid-October for the unveiling of a statue of three North Carolinians who became Presidents. U. S. Senator-nominate J. Mel ville Broughton declared after talking with the President In Washington yesterday that he was "confident" Mr. Truman would arrange the engagement "if at all possible." Meanwhile, it was revealed that Trumans vice-presidential running mate and a member of his cabinet will definitely make talks in North Carolina before the November elections. FOR THE BEST . .
