We Are A Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Commercial State Bank Donalsonville, Georgia Butialfintuttlli? Nniw 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. JR. TRI-HI-Y NEWS The Jr. Tri-Hi-Y met Monday night at the home of Betty June Thompson.
