Prexy Speaks
On Farm Parity
A large share of the blame for
today's high cost of living must
fall upon farmers who insist that
prices be controlled at not less
than parity. President Milton S.
Eisenhower told a group of farm
ers and businessmen at Lewis
burg Wednesday night.
The consequences of ris i n g
prices and higher taxes are being
felt by white collar workers with
fixed salaries, President Eisen
hower said. "These persons must
use their savings to make up the
difference," he said.
The President spoke at the sixth
annual banquet of the Union
County Farmers - Businessmen's
Association.
