New Peace • A-,ii.,,,.,r0ach Democrats Blast Farm Policies Of Eisenhower CHICAGO, Sept. 15 (M—Dem ocratic farm experts scrapped ov er farm price supports today but fired a solid fusillade of charges that President Eisenhower's "golden promises" to agriculture in 1952 have turned to "tarnished brass." Three former secretaries of ag riculture Claude Wick ar d, Charles F. Brannan, and Se n. Clinton P. Anderson of New Mex ico—blazed away at the adminis tration on the final day of a na tional Democratic rally. Predictions rang out that brok en promises to farmers will cost the GOP the farm vote and con trol of Congress in the 1954 elec tion. There was plenty of unity on that, but Anderson and Brannan split over crop price supports. An derson plugged for a system of flexible supports—something Eis enhower's secretary, of Agricul ture, Ezra Benson, favors. Bran nan contended they might ruin the farmer. Former President Harry S. Tru man sided with Stevenson today. He said in an interview that all the GOP can do is follow Demo cratic foreign programs dating back to Woodrow Wilson, but the way the Republicans are handling them is causing confusion abroad and worrying our allies.

Stevenson called tonight for new efforts at 'world disarmament and "durable assurances of non aggression" for Russia and all the world. "The door'to the conference room," Stevenson said, "is the door to peace. Let it never be said that America was reluctant to enter." He reported tonight to the peo ple at home that step by step "we are winning the cold.war." But he continued that "This is no time to wobble or lower our guard," no time to "go it alone.". World Conditions Are Better Stevenson warned, too, against disarmament by America alone, and he said we seem to be "tak ing the initiative in unilateral dis armament." Stevenson said that world con ditions are better and hope is in the air. He said there is admira tion for America in• other coun tries but also misunderstandings and concern. "And everywhere," he said, "people think they recognize the dominant mood of America in what is called `McCarthyism,' and now a worldwide word. Inquisi tions, purges, book burning, re pression and fear have obscured the bright vision of the land of the free' and The home of the brave." Anxiety Exists What ever commitments we make to European allies to back up assurances of non-aggression must be on a long-term basis, he advised. "For there is anxiety," he set forth in a prepared text, "lest the shaping of our policy may be slipping from the respected hands of President Eisenhower into the hands of the men less concerned with strengthening our alliances abroad than with appeasing our isolationists at home," At the moment, the hydrogen bomb places a grim and pressing urgency on the international situ ation, Stevenson said.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Labor Leader Wins Appea' PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15 VP) —The U.S. District Court of Ap peals today reversed the five year prison sentence given An thony Valentino, Camden, N.J., labor leader, and ordered him ac quitted of falsely denying he ever had been a Communist. The reversal was based on the fact that Valentino did not com mit the crime of which he was accused in New Jersey and there fore the U.S. District Court in Camden, where the labor leader was tried and sentenced, had no jurisdiction. On the evidence in the case, the circuit court ruled, Valentino should have been tried either in Philadelphia or Washington. Valentino was indicted on a charge of making a false affidav it to the National Labor Rela tions Board that he was not a Communist. n't know whether new approaches to the Kremlin on disarmament would have any more impact now than in the past. Yet, he said, con ditions have change d—Russian threats have produced the massing of military power of free peoples and Korea demonstrated the West will meet force with force. Furthermore, Stevenson said, the death of Stalin and revolt in the satellites have brought chang es inside Russia. AGENCY courses.
