Give Good Health for Christmas STRONGER FARM PROPS SOUGHT Rep. Jensen Says He Will Ask Repeal Of Sliding Supports WASHINGTON. Dec. 23. OF) A midwestem Republican joined a Dixie Democrat today in a move to jack back up the farm price props which were lowered by the 80th congress.

Representative Jensen, Republican, Iowa, said he will offer a bill to repeal the 60 to 90 per cent sliding supports provided in the new farm law and keep the props under basic crops at a flat 90 per cent of parity as at present. Earlier, Representative Cooley, Democrat, North Carolina, who is slated to head the house agriculture committee in January, predicted the law will be amended. He told reporters the flexible support program the farmer most when he needs it least and least when he needs help The long range farm bill approved last July generally followed administration proposals. Under it the price support program is continued virtually at present levels next year, with the sliding scale be- coming effective in 1950. At that time the five basic wheat, cotton, corn, peanuts and I which now are backed at 90 per cent of parity, would be bolstered within the 60 to 90 cent range.

The per! centage would be high when the supplies of a particular crop were scarce and low when a surplus amount was produced. Parity is a price yardstick designed to be equally fair to the farmer and those who buy his products. If farm prices fall below support levels, the government then steps in either by buying the crops or by lending the farmer money on them. The support issue caused a flare-up at the recent convention of the Farm Buieau Federation in Atlantic City. At one time Allen B.

Kline, the federation president, threatened to resign unless the group endorsed the flexible support program. That controversy ended in a The convention backed the flexible support principle but recommended changes in the law to give 90 per cent supports when farmers agree to apply direct production controls. Supporters of the sliding scale principle argue that lowering the props on basic crops would tend to discourage surplus produciion and thus avoid the direct crop controls which some people have labeled as Jensen, however, said he much of surpluses long as the purchasing power of the American people is at a high level and they can buy all they want to SLAIN WIDOW ON TRIAL IN GERMANY Corporal Morris Burr Cleft) of Gouvemeur, N. testified in court at Marburg, Germany, Tuesday that the late Sgt.

PRESIDENT MAY GET PAY BOOST Chief Executive Likely To Become A-Year Man WASHINGTON, Dec. the first time in almost 40 years con- gress may vote a pay raise next month for the president. If it does, it will make Harry S. Truman the government's first man. A senate civil service subcommittee has a bill ready which would give Mr.

Truman a salary increase of $25.000 a a $50,000 addition to his present expense allowance of $40.000. The last time a president got a raise was back in 1909 when William Howard Taft was chief executive. Congress at that time upped the pay from $50,000 to $75.000. The subcommittee's bill also would give pay increases to other top-level officials in an effort to keep good men in government service and attract young people into public careers. Here are the bill's other provisions I for pay boosts: Cabinet $15.000 to $25.000.
