Benson Rejects
Plea of Cattlemen
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (IP)—Secretary of Agriculture Benson
today at least temporarily rejected a plea by hard-hit cattle growers
for immediate and direct government supports for the livestock
industry.
Addressing a mass meeting
Benson pledged that the Eisen
how e r administration will do
"everything practical and feasible
to, ease these price adjustments."
A burst of cheers greeted Ben
son's initial statement, but the
applause quickly turned to mur
murs of disappointment as Ben
son went. on to declare that a
federal progr --
would raise ti
mendous of
stacles.
Benson c i t
what he term
the "dismal fai
ure" of past go•
ernment expel
ments design
to boost t]
prices an d tl
"fiasco" that r
suited from fec
eral , potato-buy
ing programs.
The cattlemen, some of them
garbed in 10-gallon hats, plaid
jackets arid boots, shifted restless
ly in their seats as Benson ap
peared to pour cold water on any
possibility of an immediate gov
ernment price -support program.
"I don't say it's not possible for
cattle," Benson said, "but it would
be a terrible thing if we got into
this_ pr ogr am and found it
wouldn't work."
Dennis Driscoll of Colorado
Springs, chief spokesman for the
delegation, took bitter exception
to Benson's comment that live
stock prices appeared to have
stabilized and might swing '•up
ward -in the next few. months.
After Benson finished speaking,
Driscoll told him:
"Mr. Secretary, if that's the
only outlook we have, God help
the livestock industry."
Driscoll, who said he lost $lOO,-
000 in the cattle-raising business
last year, told Benson at the out
set of the meeting he Wanted to
allay any feeling that the cattle
men hail- come to Washington as
a "pressure group" or to "rabble
rouse." .
After Benson sat down, Driscoll
declared emphatically that the
liyestock industry is losing "bar
rels of money" and must have
immediate
"There are men in this hall
who, when they go home, will
have to sell out and get out of
business unless something is
done," Dsicoll said.
The cattlemen, who converged
on Washington in a caravan of
automobiles and chartered buses,
generally aired their complaints
in matter-of-fact tones, but there
seemed to be an undercurrent of
near desperation in some of their
comments.
Speaker after speaker arose to
declare that. cattlemen face ruin
at today's price level.

renewed Communist demands

Sales Tax Defended
By Governor Fine
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 26 (JP)—Gov. John S. Fine tonight de
fended the Republican-passed one per cent sales tax as needed to
provide the "best education" for every school child in Pennsylvania.
"Whatever revenue we derive from the sales tax is earmarked
for education and I find that here and there Democrats haVe children,
too, as well as Republicans," he said.
"We don't educate our boys and girls to be Democrats or Re
publicans first. We educate them to be Americans."
In a speech prepared for a $lOO a plate Republican dinner, he
said Democrats are waging "stupid propaganda" in attacking the
sales levy.
Instead of saying "a penny for the Republicans" in paying the
sales tax, he said, Pennsylvanians should say, "Here's a penny on a
dollar to help insure the education of my children."
He contrasted the Republican sales tax fight in the 1953 Legis
lature with what he termed efforts by the Democratic-controlled
Philadelphia city administration to increase local taxes.
Citing accomplishments of the state administration in expanding
state projects in Philadelphia, Fine said these contrast with the "local
Americans for Democratip Action city government—a government
which has reached far beyond Philadelphia and even Pennsylvania,
to bring in some other reputed ADA'ers to help in their smear of
the tremendous good the previous Republican city administration
rendered."
