Linder Creates
Furor In Capital
Over Price Control
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10—1
Georgia’s dry, drawling commissioner!
of agriculture, Tom Linder, created a
mild furor in the national capital to
day as he tore into the administra-,
tion’s pending price control bill, gave]
Leon Henderson a sharp “dressing- j
down,” and concluded the day by
bringing assembled farm leaders from i
all over the country into agreement'
on his plan for parity farm prices. ;
The plan will be embodied in a bill
to be introduced in congress next week
by Senator Elmer Thomas, of Okla
homa.
Charging that the bill in its present
form regulated prices on farm pro
ducts only, Linder frankly told the
congressmen on the Banking and Cur
rency Committee that if they couldn’t
see the farmer’s viewpoint and try to
do something for him, they might as
well go back home and start plowing
and let somebody else take their
places.
Attacks Henderson
Turning his verbal guns on Hender
son, the Georgia commissioner contin
ued:
“Mr. Henderson has no more idea
of the hardships of people on the
farms than the man in the moon.
“Mr. Henderson has no more
knowledge of financial and other pro
blems that beset the farmer than an
Eskimo. »
“The only reson so far advanced
for Mr. Henderon to have this job is
that he enjoys the friendship of Ba
ruch, Morgenthau, Straus, Ginsberg
and the Guggenheim interests.
“Mr. Baruch and Mr. Morgenthau
have given their unqualified indorse
ment to Mr. Henderson for this job.
“Mr. Baruch and Mr. Morgenthau
have spoken their unqualified opposi
tion to any advance in farm prices.
Favor Lower Prices.
“Mr. Baruch and Mr. Morgenthau
are both in favor of lower prices for
products of the farm.
“Mr. Baruch and Mr. Morgenthau
are much too smart to give their un
qualified indorsement to any man
for a job of this kind without know
ing beforehand that he would admini
ster the office in conformity with
their views.”
Linder was recognized as the lead
er of commissioners of agriculture
and farm officials who met here to
discuss the legislation. The principal
objections to Linder’s plan previously
had come from the Federation of
Farm Bureaus, but today they virtu
ally were agreed that agriculture and
industry should get an equal break in
price control.
Proportionate Prices.
Specifically, Linder advocates legis
lation “that will guarantee propor
tionate prices between agricultural
products and industrial products bas
ed on the same relationship and pro
portion that prevailed during periods.
of agricultural and general prosperi
ty.”
He argued also that “it is impos
sible to control the prices of any
commodities, either agricultural or
industrial, unless you control the
price of labor entering into the pro-I
duction of such commodities."
During the day Washington news
men swarmed around Linder and his
picture was splashed across the Wash
ington newspapers. Associates ex
pressed the opinion he at last had im
i pressed congressional leaders with
his ideas.

der supervision of the Farm Security
Administration, it was announced this

This relocation work in Georgia,
Mr. Young explained, is being carried

41,180 acres for purchase. Fifteen of;
these traetts, including 28,597 acres
hve been purchased in Terrell, Jeff
Davis, Wheeler, Laurens, Johnson,
Screven nd Effingham counties.
“Where it is necessary for the Army j
to secure lands that farmers are living ■
on, the FSA immediately erects tern-,
porary prefabricated houses for the
families to move into. When possible/
work is provided for these families
through development, land clearing,
and other improvements until farm
operations have been established,”
Mr. Young said. “When permanent
units are completed, the prefabrica
ted houses are dismantled and used
in other areas.”
