Jj Phone 2520 Willium&ton I City Slickers In Charge Of Policy For Agriculture —^— Main Bi'iison Adviser* Are Closely Associated With The Reactionaries -- Washington, D. C.—It often has been charged that Secretary of’ Agriculture Ezra T. Benson and the men aroun^him. shouting the j ToflflPfP'fWmirig, ’ a'e j deliberately trying to put small i "gamily farmers" off their land, and turn it over to ‘factory farm- j ers" allied with Big Business and Wall Street. Some new support j for those charges was provided a few days ago by articles read to the Senate by (Senator Guy M. ! Gillette (Dem„ Iowa). | Gillette pointed out that the articles came from conservative I publications—the Minneapolis ; Tribune, Des Moines Register, i Watertown (N. Y.) Daily Times, and Wallace's Farmer and Iowa Homestead. "These articles," he said, 'describe the organizations ! and men who today dominate farm policy in the nation’s Capi Baek of Benson In general, all of the articles | tell pretty much the same story, j which boils down to this: The Cor | noli Crowd and its close allies— reactionary Big Business men and their propaganda organizations— are back of Benson and are run ning the Agriculture Department. The Cornell Crowd consists of professors and graduates of the Cornell University Agricultural \ College, m New York, the articles explain the news "releases" put out by Benson's Agriculture De partment call Myers a "farmer." Another member of the Cornell Crowd was the late H. E. Babcock. An article recalls his close con nections with a "Cornell trus tee”—Frank E. Gannett, New York chain newspaper publisher; and “chinf financier of the Corn-' mittee for Constitutional Govern-1 ment, a right-wing Washington lobby organization known for its j free spending." The Cornell Crowd and its Big Business allies are "represented on virtually all the organizations which guide farm policy in the Eisenhower Administration,” says' another article. “The same names' keep cropping up as directors, consultants and chairmen. “Names like James A. McCon nell. a Cornellian who has charge| of the price-support program:1 John Stuart, chairman of the Quaker Oats Co., and director of the International Harvester Co., j Graham Patterson, published of the Farm Journal, owned by the Pew oil family,” and many others whom the article names and iden tifies. Some of them have been farm policy advisers to former President Hoover, as well as Eis enhower and Benson. Many are big shots in various lavishly fin anced factionary propaganda or ganizations which the articles list. The significance of all this and | a lot more in th eartieles is sum i mod up by the Watertown paper i in one paragraph. It says: "The j Cornell philosophy is based on . . . I preference for big agriculture ov ' cr the individual farmer." Through tlu> Nickels For Know How program, North Carolina i farmers voluntarily contributed $286,025.80 toward agricultural research during 1952 and 1952. 30 Of 34 Dogs Taken From Missouri Couple S*.
