Brannan Plan Test on Pork
May Give Consumer a Break
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON--The new Brannan farm plan
may get a trial run on pigs. Sen. Elmer Thomas of
QOklahoma and Congressman Harold Cooley of North
Carolina, chairmen of Senate and House Agriculture
Committees, have introduced a bill to make this
experiment.
The legal lingo of the bjll isn’t much help in un
derstanding how things would work under today's
plan and the Brannan plan. But experts say the
situations would spell out about like this:
Live hogs today are selling at around $17.50 a
hundredweight. A year age the price wuas $31.00.
With today’s big pig supply and favorable corn
prices, no great gift of prophecy is required to see
that the price of hogs may drop further.
TROUBLE SEEN IN FALL MARKET
‘When the fall pig rush to market begins, trouble
may be expected. Under the present law, the gov
ernment will have to go into the market and buy
pigs to keep the price from falling below $16.50 a
hindredweight, which is 90 per cent of parity.
"'rhe government could buy live hogs, but that
isn't practical. If it buys hogs, it would have to buy
them'on the farms, then buy feed and pay the far
mers to feed them.
.80 the government would have to buy dressed
pork and find cold storage space to keep it. It can
be kept for only about two years. The government
ean't sell it below market price and it can Hardly
give it away. To do so would only drive hog prices
down further and make the governmeént's problem
worse. Eventually the pork would have to be
destroyed. converted into protein tankage feed for
hogs, or made into fertilizer or soap.
’ For'all this operation, the government would have
to p;)‘era& with a ticker tape in one hand and a
ehackbook in the other entering the market when
ever the price sagged below $16.50 a hundredweight.
“How much this would cost can’t be predicted ac
'q‘!:!;}"'gtcly. But for the sake of a guess, assume total
U, 8. hog marketings of 20,000,000,000: pounds this
year, live weight, Then assume that the government
would have to buy 1,000,000,000 pounds to support
the market. At $16.50 a hundredweight, the govern
ment would buy $165,000,000 worth of live hogs.
If}ghc government bought dressed pork, the cost
would be $230,000,000, according to Secretary
Brannan, :
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER UNDER BRANNAN
PLAN i
“This is'the prospect which faces the government
’\‘i!"?lglgg';thc present law. Now take a look at how it
M work tinder the Brannan plan. In" the first
place, there would be no government buying to
keep un the market: price. The gevernment would
n’fffifiv the market ‘to find its natural supply and de-
S tevel -
“Suppose the price dropped to $15.50 a hundred
weizght, or §1 a hundred below the present 9G per
cent of parity support level.
Under the Brannan plan, the government would
have to pay the farmers the difference between the
market level of $15.50 and the “income support
standard price.” This is the calculated price based
on'the average price over the past 10 years, stated
in terms of today’s devaluated dollar. This figures
out to about $17.50.
T’ other words, the government would have to
rfa‘g' the farmers the difference between $17.50 and
Sir .50, or $2 a hundred for whatever pigs they sold
at the $15.50 price.
On 2,000,000,000 pounds liveweight, or 10 per cent
of the year's pig crop, the cost to the government
would be $40,000.000. On 10,000,000,000 pounds, or
half the cropgthe cost would be $200,000,000. Both
these figures are less than the cost for 1,000,000,000
pounds under the present law.
‘The, consumer would be ahead too. Under the
ptéfle_nt law, the government creates an artificial’
seareity by withdrawing some of the supply from
the market. This keeps prices high for the consumer.
T'bg';c'onsumer also pays for the government buying
inchigher taxes. So the consumer pays twice.
. Under the Brannan plan, the consumer would get
4he’ ‘benefit because the market price of dressed
pqu would be allowed to seek its natural level.
éfld“ghe consumer would have to pay less in taxes.

p* Threats Get Nowhere
Mr. Truman is the first President since Warren
G. Harding to graduate to the White House from
Cuaig: Lo «alld U fresident since tiarding has
‘bcen more familiar with the operations and ira
ditions of that legislative body. Yet it sometiu..:
seems that this familiarity breeds, if not contempt,
at least a disregard for the pride and sensitivity
of the lawmakers.
This Congress, or any Congress, is Highly con
scious of its prestige and dignity. Its members
have their differences. But, like many quarre.-
some families, they will unite to deicna them
selves against any attack from the outside.
Yet Mr. Truman seems to take periodic delight
in rubbing his colieagues the wrong way. He hi
cast aspersions at the Repubiican 80th Congres.
and the Democratic 81st. He has stuck pins into
the skins of individual members. He has de
manded that Congress think and act as he bids,
on pain of loss of patronage, !
* And now, unless the national com:mander of the
American Veterans Committee has deliberately
misquoted him—which seems most unlikely—Mu,
Tfuman has obliquely in vited Virginians
to oust their senior senatur with the remark that
there are too many Byrds in Congress.
This 1s surprising tor two reasons. One is that
Mr. ‘truman surely knows Llhe hazards of uV
to purge a rebellious Congress of its disobedient
members. Mr. Roosevelt tried it at the height ol
his extravagant popularity, and failed. Purge
allempis are not vuly consiaerea an attront by tne
Wwigels and mnany ol their assoclates. Ihey dtou
are usually resented by the voters who send the
potential purges to Congress.
‘I he seconda reason is that Mr. Truman has seen
that more congressmen are captured with sugar(
tnan witn vinegar. The President has tried tough
ness with this Congress, and he has also tried a
little cajolery. The . sott . approach has produced
noore harmony ‘and more accompiishment.
Somehow Mr. Truman just doesn’t seem to be
the tough type. He is apparently a down-to-earth,
agreeable man whom his former colleagues on
Capitol Hill instinctively want to like. He would
probably come much closer to achieving his goals
by cashing in on this asset than by being the cold
and disproving taskmaster.
President Truman accomplished the seemingly
impossible last fall by winning the voters who
seemed so- surely committed to another candidate.
He did it partly by excoriating the last Congress
and promising better things from the next one.
° Now, to fulfill his promise, he must win the
present Congress to his way of thinking. However
much he may disagree with individual members,
he is certainly aware that the Congress, as an in
stitution, is the dignified equal of his own office.
That is why his frequent fits of scolding seem so
oddly unrealistic and out of character.
Asia In The Spoflight
While the luropean question stiu :emnaing the
question of most vital pron:inence ot be settled in
bringing about world peace, it is nevertheless be
coming more and more apparent that Asia s
coming to the iront in bidding for that distinction.
' The little country of Korea promises to furnish
the first real test between the Soviets and the
Allied powers. At the present time the northern
half of Korea is dominated by the Russians, the
southern hali by the Allies, under whose
protection in a fairly conducted election the gov
ernment ot South Korea has set up an independ
ent government which Russia repudiates.
It is a mere matter of time until the sweep o
Communists, backed by Russia, will bring about
wrined contlict between little South Korea and the
‘“nt Russian bear. In that event the question 13
already being asked as to whether the Uniteu
States of America will offer armed support to the
government of South Korea, similar to the sup
port she has already given Turkey and Greece,
It is not believed that the United States would
offer such assistance. In that event there can be
no ‘'doubt as to the result. South Korea would be
wiped off the map and Communist Russia would
take ‘over and the annexation of Korea to the
Soviet Union would be effected.
What would be the attitude of América in such
a situation? The task that the United States ha:
taken to underwrite the peace of the world an
the prevention of world communism grows and
grows. It gives promise of encircling the globe.
The Federal Trade Commission has ruled that
fur. coat manufacturers may not advertise their
products as being made from “prize-winning
minks” unless it can be proved that they really
are. This fine distinction has never occurred to us.
We had always supposed that the lady who got
the coat, not the animails that went inty it, was
the prize-winner.
I came back with the absolute conviction that
an all-out drive is now on by the Russian polit
buro for world domination. .. . Their primary
objeciive is io esiablish world. dictatorship by
promoting satellite police states dominated by the
Kremlin. — Paul G. Hofiman, adminitsrator of
European Recovery, on his return from Europe.

Therefore it was with conster
naticn that I learned Major was
being transferred immediately to
Memphis. “Don’t be a ninny,” Rob
said. “You don’t have to let Roger
live here. It’s our house.”
Ah, Der Tag, I thought. Looks
like this time we're going to throw
in together. sii 8
The Capners got a good early
start on their journey, and so did
Roger. A jeep stopped at our door.
QOut jumped two officers.
“It’s Roger,” 1 stage-whispered
to Rob. “And a friend.”
“So what!” )
Here it was again; Rob had
changed his mind and without so
much as a hapd signal. We, were
forever piling up on issues be
cause of that obnoxious habit. of
his. Just when T thought we were
in cahoots, I would be left holding
the sack.
I thought of the time I simply
had to accept an invitation to the
house of acquaintances Rod found
unbearably boring. He warned me
to get him out of there by 10
o'clock at the very latgst. Either
that, or he wouldn’t go. At 9:45, 1
began to lay the groundwork for
our leave-taking. I had things
under control and went ij to get
my coat. As I came down the
stairs, Rob looked up in surprise.
Instead of eagerly springing to his
feet as I fully expected him to do,
he held his seat and demanded to
'know where I was going. When 1
' gave the old line about the head
ache, he called on the world to
note whether there ever had been
such a spoilsport before. Grum
' bling and complaining, he did gc
"home with me.
When I upbraided him for leav
ing me out on a limb, he admitted
he had forgotten asking me to get
him out of there, and even said
he had been having an unexpect
edly pleasant time. ¢
No. I wasn’t entircly unprepared
for Rob’s change of heart toward
Roger. But I'd had a change of
heart; I was on the other end of
the see-saw. I had grown tired
of him. The novelty of watching
him enjoy our possessions had
worn off. He was more trouble
than he was worth: his entertain
ment value had dropped below
nar. I didn’t want him to move
back in.
Roger sailed into the house
without stopping to ring the bell.
He presented Colonel Hartwicke
and said they had been up work
ing most of the night, were in
need of a shave and shower, and
that he could think of no more
pleasant place in which to have
them than in our house.
“The Capners just left,” I tem
porized, as though Roger didn’t
already know that. “I don’t know
in what condition they left things.”
“After 8.0. Q.,” Colonel Hart
wicke laughed, “I'm sure they
will seem glisteningly pure.” It
would have been interesting to me
to hear the line Roger fed stran
gers before he brought them to our
house—men who always accepted
our hospitality as a matter of
course. Colonel Hartwicke seemed
a gentleman: he wouldn’t have
imposed: he must have been sold
on the idea that he was.confer
ring some sort of favor on us. Both
he and Roger were so ceremonious
and polite, I couldn’'t very well
fail to play up to them: so I ran
upstairs to see to fresh towels,
soap, and a hasty setting to rights
of the Capners’ rooms. 3
Passing the front windows, I
caught sight of Roger and Colonel
Hartwicke carrying valpacs, foot
lockers, and musette bags up the
walk toward the open front door.
“Roger!” I called sharply. “You
can’t move in here.” To support
E ASPIRIN AT ITS BES: n
my vagary, I added, “We aren’t
going to rent rooms any longer.”
That sounded like safe ground;
Rob had once suggested it.

He slowed down long enough to
look embarrassed for me. ‘“How
can we shave and bathe without
equipment?” he asked in his tone
of sweet reasonableness.
“Oh,” I backed up, “that.” But
my brain wasn’t fooled; it knew
I ‘'was on.thin .ice. In fact, it
spurred me te run down the stairs
and meet the gentlemen.
| With an air of indulging a try-
ling child, Roger set down his load
and motioned Colonel Hartwicke
to do the same. They removed
shaving things and clean duds—
all for Roger, I noted; Colonel
Hartwicke was evidently not go
ing to change, but simply shave
and maybe shower. I stood like a
watchdog until the bags were
closed again, and then I retired to
the garden room to sputter to Rob
while Roger took Colonel Hart
wicke upstairs. ;
“He’s not a bad guy,” Rob said.
“Frankly, since it's your idea—
not mine, mind you—to let peo
ple roost here, I don’t see any
reason for you to discriminate
against Roger. Throw out the
whole kit and kaboodle if you
want to. That'd be oke with me.
But if you're going to let any of
them stay, you might as well let
Roger.”
“You're crazy,” 1 spluttered.
“I'm fed up with being his flunky.
