Uncle Sam Says Farming is a combination of a buai. nrna and a home. And you farmers realise that a well-managed business must maintain a financial reserve as security against future needs and emergencies. This reserve is built up during the good years, like this one, when many crops are the big. gest in history. It muai be in the safest possible form and always available. Nothing meets these re. miirements so well as U. S. Savings Bonds. You know that Savings Bonds provide more security than cash because they will be replaced if lost or stolen and they also bear interest, paying $4 for every $3 in vested, in ten years. V. S.

FRANK GRAHAM TO TAKE OATH OF OFFICE MONDAY (Continued From Page 1) gram, it was learned. He made that clear today. “In general, I have supported President Truman’s program,” he said, “and expect to continue to do so as specific measures come up in the light of what is most possible and effective at any giv en time.” “I realize I will be a freshman in the Senate and need a period of study in order to understand what is to be wise and effective in particular situations as they arise." he said. As to civil rights, he said: “The best way ultimately to end seg regation is to raise the education al level of the people in the states affected; and to inoculate both the teachings of religion regard ing human brotherhood and the ideals of our democracy as a more solid basis for genuine and lasting acceptance by the people of the states.” “I will apply this principal “to all specific measures for adop tion of particular proposals just as fast as the minds and hearts of the people are prepared to carry them out. Also I favor “equality of suffrage both in gen eral elections and primaries on this basis: Give the people the right to vote and the people will he in a better position to achieve justice for themselves." Dr. Graham also stated he fa ▼Ofte “a local-State-Federal co operative program against lynch ing both by mobs in the South and by gangs in the North,” and that he is for “removal of the poll tax as a prerequisite for vot ing in both State and Federal elections.” Senator Graham said he sup ports “a decent minimum wage and more job opportunities for all people, Federal aid for public education, and a local-state-Fed eral co-operative medical care program.” As to his attitude towkrd the Taft-Hartley labor act and pro posals to end it, Dr. Graham said, “I am for preservation of the freedom and rights of self organ ization of people ami their equal ity in o*ir economic structure.” Regarding foreign policy, he said: “I have been a supporter of the Marshall plan from the be •' ginning, and, although I haven’t studied the Atlantic charter pact yet, I would be disposed to give it most sympathetic considera tion.” .

Legislative Program The American Federation of Labor will concentrate its efforts in the current session of Congress on obtaining re* peal of the obnoxious Taft-Hartley Act, but this should not obscure the fact that there are many other major planks in the Federation’s legislative program which vitally affect the interests of American workers and for which we will fight unceasingly. Therefore the Executive Council finds it advisable to make public at this time a summary of the outstanding measures included in the AFL’s legislative objectives: 1. TAFT-HARTLEY ACT —We favor outright repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act with simultaneous reenactment off the National I .a bar Relations Act. We also urge Congress? to repeal the Hobbs Act and the Lea Act. 2. HOUSING—We seek enactment of a comprehensive? housing program. This includes rent control. 3. FOREIGN POLICY*—We endorse the President’s firm policy toward Russia as the only practical way to attain eventual world peace. We want Congress to appropriate sufficient funds to permit the ECA to carry on its work to a successful conclusion. 4. INFLATION CONTROL-^We prefer voluntary meth ods to resumption of price controls, which should be em ployed only as a last resort. If taxes should be increased, the burden should be placed upon those best able to pay. Taxes in low-income groups, who were given the least mea sure of relief in the last tax law, should not be raised. 5. SOCIAL JUSTICE PROGRAM—The Executive Coun cil favors broad improvements in the social security sys tem, a national health program, disability insurance, a na tionalized unemployment compensation system, increase of the minimum wage to $1 an hour with broader coverage of the Fair Labor Standards Act, an effective billion-dollar program of Federal aid to education and continuation of the school lunch program. Also we call upon Congress to adopt the President’s Civil Rights program. 6. NATIONAL DEFENSE — The Executive Council pledges full support of a truly adequate national defense program for all branches of the armed sendees. We feel also that Congress should give attetnion to the need for an expanded merchant ship construction program and the safeguarding of a strong American merchant mariie by subsidies. This ship construction program should be fairly distributed in the varous areas of the country. 7. NATURAL RESOURCES—As part of our natonal de fense program and as an essential step toward an expand ing American economy, a constructive program for the de velopment and protection of our natural resources should be adopted by Congress. This includes power develop ment, soil conservation and reclamation, irrigation and flood control. We favor creation of river valley authorities, smilar to the outstandingly successful TVA, to do this job. We also call upon Congress to encourage development of research for the harnessing of atomic energy to industrial productive uses. 8. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYE LEGISLATION — Thh AFL will support legislation to raise the standards and improve the conditions of government employes. 9. LABOR DEPARTMENT—We favor transfer to this department of the functions and agencies which properly belong to it, to the end that the Department of Labor may once more become an effective instrument for the protec tion of the wage earners of the Nation. 10. There are any number of additional measures and proposals in which the Federation takes an active interest for or against. For instance, we will urge liberalization of the Displaced Persons Act, support the establishment of a National Science Foundation, etc. Therefore, the omission of any particular measure from this summary of major legislative objectives, should not and does not imply any lack of interest on our part.
