VOL. II, NO. 10. YELLOW SPRINGS, OHIO, jj^RSDAY, MARCH 11, 1954 7 CENTS PEN COPY Dairy Farmers Reject Benson Plan To Reduce ■ Dairy Support To 7 5 % Parity Would cost Area dairymen about $1 Million C. E. Pickering, president of the Greene County Farm Bureau, and William Shawhan, Farm Bureau Legislative Agent, are much concerned about the action Secretary of Agriculture Benson has taken toward the dairy indus­ try, the ‘'Journal’* learned this week. Farm Bureau LegUlaUve Com­ mitter* of the four-county district composed of Greene, Fayette, Clin­ ton and Montgomery counties met recently at the Oreene County Farm Bureau. Following the meeting, the Farm Bureau made known its op position to the 15% reduction of support on dairy product* for the following reasons: l. There is no guarantee that the reduction in the price paid to the farmers will be reflected to the consumer in tower prices on milk, cheese and butter at the retail level. When prices to farmers were cut so drastically last spring, prices oi bottled milk remained the same, dairy fanner spokesmen point out. £. Dairy farmers are feeding grain which is still supported at #0% of parity. Dairy farmers feel that their in­ dustry should not be singled out for a reduction In support while other products are supported at 90% of parity. 3. Under the new farm legislation proposed by the Secretary of Agri­ culture, the so-called basic commod­ ities Would not decline over 5% and tills during 1955. I f the prog­ ram is adopted by Congress, basic commodities would still be at 96% of parity With certain acreage re­ strictions. 4. In a recent study mad* by the local Miami Valley Frodttears As­ sociation o f P ayton, It was found that the propared ledueMan t f on dairy « i * i j S o i l i h M i ^ t i ^ l b f i ' average fanner's yearly Income In the Dayton market by $400. Tills amount would cost the dairy farmers in the Dayton and Spring- field markets approximately « t million, and all this with no guar, nntcu'that the price of milk to the consumer would oe Jess. Farm Bureau representatives ask: "Why should the 1etryman not be rimported in line with basic corn- supported in line with basic com­ modities with a decline of 5% a year until the desired 15% o f parity is reached?" Bryan Hi Students Study Steelmaking Many on Honor Roll Uruguayans Honor Horace Mann Recently Uruguayan educators honored with a series o f programs the pioneers of public education in the Americas. The men they chose were Domingo Sarmlento, some­ times called the "schoolmaster president of Argentina;” Horace Mann, father of the public school lh America and first president of An­ tioch College; and their own Jose Pedro Varela. Today on exhibit in the Main Building of Antioch College is the simulated stained glass portrait of Mann done for the programs, the gift of the Uruguayan educators "as a symbol of friendship and admira­ tion."

Is pro­ fessor of chemistry at the Califor­ nia Institute of Technology and a former president of the American Chemical Society. He will be at Antioch College from Monday, March 15 until Wed­ nesday, Miirch 24. On Tuesday, he will address the Antioch student body. His subject will be “Science as a Cultural subject.” In a recent article in Mercury Magazine, J. B. MUthcws wrote as following regarding Pauling; “ Prof. Pauling has valid claims to the highest academic and scien­ tific distinctions . . . "Pauling was recently denied an American passport by the State De­ partment because to his long and substantial collaboration with the Communist-front apparatus. After considerable pressure, the State Department rescinded Its denial; and the passport was granted, "This notable chemist of America ranks among the top twenty aca­ demic supporters of Communist- front organizations. "This Is true whether judged by quantatlve or qualitative measure­ ments. A t least thirty-six of Paul­ ing’s Communist-front affiliations postdate the beginning of Cold W Ir I (Berlin A irlift). "Professor Pauling la national chairman of, the science division of the National Council o f the Arts, Sciences and Professions. The NOA­ SP is second to none among the im­ portant and subversre units of the Communistlfront apparatus in the United States. "To catalog and evaluate Paul­ ing’s connections with the Com­ munist-front organisations of today would require a volume. ", . . He was one of the Initiators of the American Peace Crusade, one of the principal units in the Com­ munists' treacherous-"peace” offen­ sive. He was also one of the Initia­ tors of the BUI of Rights Confer­ ence, subsidiary of the CivU Rights Congress, a Communist gathering whose special theme was a vicious attack on the F, B. I. . . . He was an Initiator of the National Com­ mittee to Repeal the McCarran (Internal Security) Act. “These are Just a few of the great academic chemist’s activities on be­ half of the Communists.
