Phipps, owner and publisher of
The Eastern Breeder, Warrenton,
Va.,, today announced the pur
chase of a similar magazine, The
Stockman, published ‘monthly
since 1941 at Memphis, Tenn.
The two magazines—they serve
livestock farmers throughout the
East and South—will be merged
into an enlarged publication, The
Breeder-Stockman, to be publish
ed monthly at Warrenton. First
issue will appear July 1.
Mr. Phipps, who is a practical
livestock farmer as well as pub
lisher, said that The Eastern
Breeder will form the nucleus of
the new publication. Founded by
Mr. Phipps in 1939, the magazine
first was known as The Virginia
Breeder, and was devoted to horse
and livestock interests in the Old

throat gave out. Evans declared
that “Litttle Boy Herman has
dragged the Talmadge name
through the dirt.”
“Gene kept his promises,” the
former House speaker said, “but
Herman breaks his.” :
Earlier, at a news conference in
Athens, Thompson charged, “My
opponent has stooped to a new low
in forcing every agency of state
government to participate in his
campaign.”
Baker’s comment on the vitamin
pills came after he heard both
Thompson . and Talmadge were
taking them to Lkeep up their
stamina. He told a gathering at
Fort Valley, “A man who spent
years behind a plow and who
walked four miles everyday to a
rural school can stand up easily
under the strain of three to five
speeches a day without taking pills
or artificial stimulants.”
Senate Race
Alex McLennan, Atlanta attor
k ney running for the Senate seat of
Walter George, attacked George
| for sponsoring reciprocal trade
agreements. This makes the Sen
“ator directly responsible, McLen
' nan declared in a-radio speech,
“for the plight that the farmers,
the cotton mill owners and the cot
ton mill workers of Georgia are
now confronted with as a result of
dumping textile products in Amer
ica from across the seas.”
McLennan also attacked Atlanta
newsapers and said the merger
of the Journal and Constitution
was profitable to all hands. For
this reason, he said, “it should be
obvious to everyone why the At
lanta newspapers combine is so
anxious to keep Walter George in
the Senate. George believes in
exempting wealthy individuals
from paying income tax.”
