Democrats Plan
Bill To Hike
Farm Income
WASHINGTON (IP—Cong,
ressional Democrats today
went to work on a catch,
all farm bill of their own.
They want to boost farm,
ers' income by maintaining
or even raising present le.
vels of price supports for
basic crops.
Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft
Benson wants to drop the present
floor under price supports from
75 to 60 per cent of parity — a
mathematically - determined fair
price a farmer should receive for
his crops. Congressional farm
' leaders of both parties are gene
rally agreed such a program has
no chance of passage in this
election year.
Rep. Harold D. Cooley (D-NC)
said a new effort will get under
way next Wednesday to develop
an amnibus bill. Cooley is chair
man of the House Agriculture
Committee, which has consistently
sought to pump up federal subsi
dies for farmers in the face of
Eisenhower administration oppo -
sition.
Sen. Allen J Ellender (D-La.)
at the same time announced the
Democratic members of his Sen
ate Agriculture Committee have
begun to think up plans for an ov
er-all farm measure.
Democratic farm leaders In both
houses have conferred Informally
in repent days. They apparently
were adopting different tactic*'’
aimed at the same objective — an
omnibus bill including some ad
ministration recommendations but
hiking subsidies.
Cooley disclosed that his com
mittee will try to reach gradual
agreement "commodity-by-com -
modify” on a one-package bill.
A subcommittee headed by Rep
W. R. Poage (D-Tex> will start
hearings next Wednesday and
Thursday on proposals for bolst
ering the income of growers of
corn and other feed grain. Later
other subcommittees will study
proposals for other commodities (

A mob of 10,000 took matters
into their own hands and struck

What A Turnover
In Coats Lawmen!
In the past two years, a steady
stream of men have briefly held
the title of "Coats Police Chief ”
They draw $200 a month pay
and get uniforms free. But no‘
many have stayed around long
enough to make the town famUir
with their face.
Some haven’t even stayed o' •
enough to soil their uniform and
send it to the cleaners. But a tew
have dirtied that uniform with
conduct most certainly unbecoming
to an officer.
And Coats, indignant enough at
such behavior from law officers,
has booted them posthaste from
