- The Washington Notebook
| BY PETER EDSON
| NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.— (NEA) —The meat situation
got pretty well out of hand up at the National Press
Ciub the other night. Here were top grade, choice
to prime representatives of 19 farm organizations
from all over the U, S.
They announced they were here to hold a “More
Meat Conference.” But what they were really here
for was to lobby against any and all kinds of price
and wage controls, Particularly they were against
Price Stabilization Director Michael V. DiSalle’s
meat rollback orders which are scheduled to go into
effect May 20, August 1 and October 1 .
After attending congressional hearings, throwing
—er—their weight around and listening to senators
and congressmen beef about beef price controls, the
meat men met on the 13th floor of the National
Press Club and threw a party. And what a party.
There were a hundred senators and representatives
from the farm belt states there. And maybe another
hundred rmembers of the Washington press corps.
In between were larded representatives from about
every food lobby in Washington.
After dinner, there followed one of those grand
sashay rizht and left snafus that can happen enly
in Washington when the best laid public relations
pians of mice and press agents go completely hay
wire.
At the head table sat 14 assorted presidents, vice
presidents and managers of big shot livestock feeder
and packer organizations: People like Loren C.
Bamert of the American Cattlemen’s Association,
lone, Calif., who presided; Allan Kline of Farm
Bureau, and John Holmes of Swift & Company.
NO MEATY DISCUSSION
They opened up the meeting for questions. That
was their mistake. The panel of 14 experts at the
head table was supposed to give the answers. But it
turned out they didn’t know ’em.
Up rose Fletcher Booraem of the Wall Street
Journal to ask what seemed like a simple question:
*What happens to a steer under the new price roll
back orders?”
All he wanted to know was how the new con
trols would affect the prices received by the live
stock raiser, the feeder, the packer, the wholesaler,
and th retailer—and the prices paid by the con
sumer. In dollars and cents figures, please, and no
generalities.
What he got was only generalities. Broad, glit
tering generalities that are supposed to flow only
from the mouths of bureaucrats. The experts from
the incdustry couldn’t answer. Several stood up and
tried, only to fall down.
Up rose George Bookman of Time magazine to
ask, “If parity isn't a fair price,. what is?” Allan
Kline angwered that he wasn't prepared to say
what the price should be. Support prices were like
minimum wages, he said, but they shouldn’t be
used as a bacsis for price controls.
N. K. Carnes of Central Livestock Association,
St. Paul, explained that orders for light steers were
being cancelled by feeders. Dorothy Brandon of
New York Herald-Tribune then asked, “What's a
feeder?” This display of city gal innocence practi
cally gave the panel a stroke.
NOTHING TO SINK YOUR TEETH IN
Then up rose Jerry Greene of New York Daily
News to ask simply, “What are you going to do to
get us more meat at reasonable prices?” The panel
kicked this around by saying that the question was
based on a false premise. And the first thing to do
was to get sound nroney. If people didn’t under
stand that, they weren’t going to get anywhere. Mr,
Greene said he didn’t understand. Everyone else
was ready to agree the meeting wasn’t getting any
where,
But finally Mr. Booraem of the Wall Street Jour
nal took the floor mike again to say that, thanks to
Congressman Errett P. Scrivner of Kansas City, he
finally had obtained the answer to his own ques
tion, and he proceeded to tell the cattlemen what it
was:
If a feeder buys a 500-pound steer at 37 cents a
pound, it costs him $lB5. He pays S2O for pasture,
$lO for interest, $5 for average death loss, $5 for
freight, $5 for marketing costs. Total cost of the
steer is now §230. But the steer has now put on
200 pounds and weighs 700 pounds. So it now costs
33 cents a pound.
The steer, having been fed on grass, is commer
cial grade beef. The ceiling price is therefore 26
cents a pound. And if the farmer sells at this price,
he loses seven cents a pound. Simple.
All this while the senators and congressmen were
keeping awfully quiet. They were terribly embar=-
rassed that their good constituents, the cattlemen,
weren’t making a better case for themselves, “Mike
DiSalle made a bad showing for himself on the bill
today,” said one congressman, “but the cattlemen
saved him tonight.”
And as the party broke up, one cattleman was
heard to observe, “The dammed newspapers here
are all Communist.”

Deserved Tribute Pzid 1o
. .
Milton P. Jarnagin
Channing Cope, who writes an interesting and in
formative column on agricultural subjects for The
Atlanta Constitution, has paid Dr, Milton P. Jar
nagin a deserved tribute, one in which we can all |
heartily join. For Dr. Jarnagin has made a lasting
contribution to the wealth of Georgia. As a member
of the staff of the Agricultural College he is one of
those who pioneered in the development of sources
of farm inconre that have enriched this state.
Dr. Jarnagin is, of course, best known as the
champion of the livestock industry in Georgia. He
is the top man in that line. He is the No. 1 livestock
promoter in Georgia. And as we think of how much
the livestock industry is meaning to better living
conditions in this state we also recall that thirty
five years ago it was practically nothing.
As for that matter thirty-five years ago the to
bacco industry was also nil, as well as the peach
growing, poultry and peanut industries. To greater
extent than any other agency, the State College of
Agriculture with its Soules, Woods, Jarnagins, Mc-
Hattons, Westbrooks, Firors, Fains, Mitchells, and
others blazed the trail for these big Georgia money
crops. Georgia owes them much.
“It was a big day for the livestock trade in Geor
gia,” writes Mr. Cope, “when Dr. Milton P. Jarna
gin was honored by having his likeness moved
over into the official gallery of the university cele
brities. And it was a big day for the learned doctor.
He beamed from the canvas and from his person.
Mrs. Jarnagin beanred, too, as a matter of pride.
And so did the daughter and the grandchildren, and
about 350 former stuents and other friends who as
sembled at Athens ot see the job well done.
“The job was well done. Outside of a quizzical
look on the part of the portrait, as muchas to ask,
‘What goes here?’ or, ‘ls this for me?’ there wasn’t
a bobble. Harry Brown and Walter Brown and
President Aderhold and Tap Bennett performed
their duties well and with a spirit that only a Jar
nagin dinner could engender, He has been amongst
us too long and too happily to be serious with us
along toward the end of his glorious career.
“l neglected to inquire the name of the artist
who did the picture. One thing I know, he is a right
good one, He had the savant decked out in his stock
judging suit ‘given him by the livestock association
members years ago when his other suit fell apart
through long association with the doctor and the
neighborhood pressing club.
“Also, he reproduced that quizzical look, before
mentioned. And the likeness is Dr. Jarnagin’s. It is
no study. It is a man equally at home in the class
room and the feed lot, waiting, puzzled as to what
will be brought into the ring, anxious to do the
right thing by all parties.
“And now for a serious word about our lifelong
friend. Paraphrasing our mran’s own statement
about the livestock business, we find that, ‘Too
much Jarnagin is just about enough. He is the
dean, no less than the dean, of the livestock busi
ness in Georgia.
“He is No. 1; Ajax, if you please, in the alphabet
ical list of those whose contributions have brought
Georgia’s livestock values up into the major brack=
ets. To tell the remarkable story in the doctor’s own
words: ‘ln 1910 we had lots of six-year-old steers
weighing 200 pounds. Now we have lots of two
year-old steers weighing 600 pounds.’
“What more does a man want for his life’s
work?
“Congratulations and best wishes ot Dr. Milton
P. Jarnagin and the lovely Mrs. Jarnagin. Theirs
has been an enviable life.”
Another Prediction
The previously predicted May attack of Com
munist satellite forces on Yugoslavia having failed
to materialize, Balkan experts now point towards
October 1 as the next likely date. They say that
would come after harvests are in but before cold
weather
How attack might come is a matter of much dis
cussion by military strategists. A pincers attack—
fronr the north through Hungary, from the south
through Greece—is considered possible. Greeks are
ready and almost anxious to fight, if their soil is
again invaded.
Should an attack come, Greece and Yugoslavia
might be expected to move against Albania, wipe
it out and carve it up, it is said. They can see no
use for its existence and the two countries could be
expected to claim whatever part each could con
quer and hold before the other got to it.
.
Slim Budget Cuts
First four of next year’s appropriation bills re
ported out by the House Appropriations Committee
did not show much hope for economizing. They
covered Treasury, Post Office, Labor, Interior,
Federal Security Agencies and various independent
offices, A few individual items were cut sharply.
But President Truman’s budget message for these
agencies requested funds totaling $13,087,000,000.
House Committee cut this figure ot $12,256,000,000.
This showed saving of $831,000,000. As these agen
cies represent more than one-sixth of the s7l bil
lion budget requested for 1952, total reductions of
only $2.5 billion would be possible, if later cuts are
no sharper.

PROCEDURE OUTLINED
Persons Entering Service Can
Claim Parents As Dependents
ATLANTA, Ga., May 14~-In
formation concerning the proce
dure of Georgia citizens who are
entering the Armed Forces should
follow if they wish to claim their
parents as dependents was re
leased today by William K. Bar
rett, director of the State Depart
ment of Veterans Service.
According to Barrett, persons
entering the service who wish to
claim their parents as dependents
should take with themr three cop
ies of a medicad statement pre
pared by their family physician
attesting to the parents general
health and ability to work. State
ments from at least two neigh-l
bors should also be-taken into the
service. These should set forth the‘
financial condition of the tamilyl
and indicate that the parents were ‘
dependent upon the person enter
ing the service, If possible, and if
known by the neighbors, the
amount of support contributed to
the parents for at least the six
month period preceding entrance
into the service should be indi
cated.
The physicians statement as
well as the statements of neigh
bors should be notarized, Barrett
said.
He added that previous experi
ence indicates that it is difficult
for persons who volunteer for ser
ice to establish the dependency of
the parents unless it can be proven
that the hardship and dependency
arosg after entrance into military
service. This is not usually the
case if the serviceman has been
inducted.
