Flexible
Farm Bill
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 — (AP)
«—Senate approval of a flexible
system for supporting farm prices
eénded, one long argument today
but started another—on whether
the House will go along.
After weeks of debate, a coali
tion of Senate Democrats and Re
publicans yesterday pushed
through on a voice vote the farm
support bill sponsored bv Senator
Anderson (D.-N.M.), former Sec
retary of Agriculture.
They substituted it for the one
year continuance of wartime-level
price supports voted by the House
in mid-July. Leaders of the coa
lition said they are confident the
House will accept the Senate ver
sion eventually.

Farm-minded House members
talked equally optimistically about
forcing Senators to take their one
vear extension of existing price
props at least for 1950—a year
when all 435 House members and
more than one-third of the Sena
tors must face the farmers and
other voters.
Both the Senate and, House bills
peg their proposed price supports
to percentages of parity.
However, the Senate bill would
revise the parity formula to take
into account the most of hired
hands. ;
Under the Senate bill, the gov
ernment would gupport major
crops in 1950 at 90 per cent of
parity, but only if they were un
der production or marketing con
trols, After 1950, support levels
could range down to 75 per cent.
Under the House bill, support
would continue through 1950 at
the 90 per cent of parity levels that
were in effect during the war.
House leaders pianned to send
the dispute to a conference com
mittee-—sometimes called the third
chamber of Congress—to try to
adinst differences. |
While Senators Lucas and An
derson pushed the flexible-level'
bill through the Senate, there were |
: IR B T ATRTROYE SR
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
apparently reliable reports that
President Truman himself is fun
damentally for the flat 90 per cent
idea.
In any event the farm issue, as
usual will be a big factor in the
! 1950 campaign.

! TALLADEGA, Ala, Oct. 13 —
| (AP) — Herbert Hoover Gentry,
20-year-old partial deaf mute,
today was under thre2e-year sen

A circuit court jury last night
convicted the young foundry

' Ga., stripping them a 1 ¢ hiding

Gentry home Feb. 5.
He was tried for the slaying of
- Mrs. Deal.
- Solicitor J. J. Cockrell said it
|had not been decided whether
Gentry would stand trial on the
| wile-slaying charges. Circuit
Judge N. D. Debardeleben did not ‘
’set a date for sentencing
The court room was packed
with several hundred spectators
when the verdict -7as read. The
crowd was quiet after the judge
warned against a dermonstration.
Gentry smiled when the verdict
was announced. His mothes, Mrs.
Nellie. Green, sobbed aloud, and
many women in the crowd wept.
During the 2 1-2 week trial, the
state introduced statements sign
ed by Gentry in whicn he said he
shot the women while he was
drunk.
He claimed from tk. stand |
howzver, that he wis forced to |
sign the statements by officers |
who beat and threatened him. |
And he said the womai, were kill
ed by Frank Adair, Talladega
contractor who had been with
him and the women on a drink-l
ing party that afternoon. |
Adair and police officers denied
the charges. l
Gentry had pleaded innocent

3. Thompson denied any con-l

4, Shaw repeatedly warned
Thompson, however, “that in this

Thompson to be present at a
hearing against Bowen next Tues~
day when, he said, charges under

5. Thompson said a previous
appointment would prevent his

if his name is involved, he would

l Amos added, however, the op
erators want “unrestricted use of

mesns and understandings Lewis
no longer would call strikes under
contract clauses whicnh say UMW
miners dig coal only when “able
and willing.”
A gruff “no” was the UMW’s
answer. The operators got that
answer when they made the same
offer four time before.
Lewis wasn’t on hand for the
!negotiations but is expected to
| take part today. He had to sday in

[tion with a suit filed against him
‘and other trustees of the UMW’s

with illegally dissipating the fund.

’ charge.

’He wants ti e royalty payments

‘that he would like a seven-hour

i So far, operators say they
haven’t an inkling of just what
Lewis wants.
His Chief Lieutenai:, Kennedy,
says the practice of disclosing de
-Imands in advance was “the old
' technique and we’re using a new
technique.”

1. W. Rouzer, president of the
Alabama mining inst:tute, made
the appeal on the basis that the
Alabama operators have no dis

Warm Session
Vinson has promised Johnson,
as well as members of the Joint
Chief of Staff, a hearing before
the committee. Most committee
members expect it to be a warm
session.
RBut it may be a week or so be
fore Johnson gets his say. The
committee hoped to conclude the
Naval phase of its defense study
today. Thereafter it will take a
short recess before hearing from
officials of the Defense Depart
ment and the other services.
The House group was jolted by
the testimony of Adm. Richard L.
Conolly, Navy commander in Euro
pean waters, that the whole Navy
wouldn’t do him much good at its
present strength -if hostilities
should break out in his zone.
“I believe the allocation of Na=-
vy forces to the entire Navy would
be less than the minimum requings
ments for my own needs,” he de
clared.
Bates said the testimony of
Navy men has raised anew the
question of whether = Johnson
should have issued his order can=-
celling the Navy’s proposed $189,« ‘
000,000 flush-deck super carrier—
an order which caused the angry
resignation of John L. Sullivan as
Secretary of the Navy.
Bates said he believes most of
the committee may have changed
its mind about the carrier, which |
he called “necessary for the se
curity of the United States.” |
“I hope this hearing will cause
the joint chiefs to reverse their
decision,” he told a reporter. |
This would be a signal victory !
for Jthe Admirals—possibly fore
shadowing a combiete restoration
of Naval funds.

India Can’t
Stay Neutral
In Conflict
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13—(AP)
—lndia’s Prime Minister Nehru
assured Congress today that his
country “cannot be and shall not
be neutral’ in the event of any
world aggression or threat to free
dom.
But he declared, in identical
speeches prepared for the House
and Senate, that “very piayer that
an Indian raises ends with an in
vocation to peace” and he indica
ter a poscible parallel between In
dia’s foreign policy and Mahatma
Ghandi’s creed of passive resis
tance.
The “Father of Tlndia,” said
Nehru in his prepaved address,
“taught us a technique of action
which was peaceful, and yet it
was effective and yielded results
which led us not only to freedom
but to friendship with those with
whom we were until yesterday in
confilct.
“How far can that principle be
applied to wider spheres of ac
tion? I do not know. Fer circum
stances differ and the means to
prevent evil have to be shaped
and set to the nature cf the evil.
“Yet I have no doubt that the

basic approach which lay behind
that technique of action was the
right approach in human affairs
and. the only approach that ulti
mately solves a problem satisfac- |
torily.” !
Nehru did not refer cutright to
India’s efforts to remain aloof
from the cold war — a position
western leaders would like to see
abandoned in favor of a more ac
tive role in blocking the advance
!of Communism. But he pleaded
iwith Congress for understanding
| of his country’s attitude.
“We have to achieve freedomi
arld defend it,” he said. “We have '
to meet aggressoion and resist itl
and the force employed must be
tadequate to the purpose. |
{ “But even when preparing to
resist aggression, the ulumate ob
jective, the objective of peace and
reconciliation, must ever be lost
‘ sight of, and heart and mind must
| be attuned to this supreme aim,
| and not swayed or clouded by ha=-
tred of fear. |
“This is the basis aand the goal
of our foreign policy. We are
neither blind to reality nor do we
propose to asquiesce in any chal
lenge to man’s freedom, wrom |
whatever quarter it may come.
“Where freedom is 1 enaced, or
,justice threatened, o rwhere ag
| gression takes place, we cannot be
| and shall not be neutr-1.
“The great democracy of the
United States of America will, I
feel sure, understand aud appre
ciate our approach of life’s prob
lems because it could not have
anw other aim or a different
ideal.”
Nehru pointed out that India’s
constitutio- — which starts with
the word, “We, the people of In
die” — was greatly influenced by
the constitution of the United
States.
