Policy, Form Aid Revamp
By RUTH COFFEY
Reporter-News Correspondent
COLORADO CITY, Nov. 6. —The
81st Congress will continue a firm
foreign policy and revise the long-
range farm program, George Ma-
hon. representative of the 19th Tex-
an district predicted this week eft-
er the sweeping Democratic vic-
tory.
That victory he termed “whole-
some,” particularly for the for-
eign relations program "which is of
greatest importance in promoting
world stability "
There is little chance for drastic
reduction in government expense,
Mahon said.
“Unfortunately, the Republicans
during the last Congress were not
able to cut drastically expenses of
the government. I shall favor all
possible economies in the new
session, but there to little chance
for major reductions by reason of
the fact that 80 per cent -"
he stopped and repeated that fig-
free nations of Western Europe in
order that they may resist the tide
of Russian communism which is
the gravest threat to the peace
and security of the United States.”
REGAINS CHAIRMANSHIP
Now the third ranking member
of the Appropriations Committee
of 43 members, he will, as the re-
suit of the election, regain the
chairmanship of the Appropriations
sub - committee which handled all
appropriations for government
corporations, including the Com-
modity Credit Corporation, aad
some 20 others.
“My main assignment in the new
Congress will therefore be the
shifting at requests for appropria-
tions — requests which will prob-
ably total $40,000,000 next year,"
he explained.
“This program of being strong-
of following a policy at firmness,”
he went on emphatically, “is our
boot hope for peace! The only lang-
uage Russia understands is
strength. We must deal with Rus-
sia on that basis - a strong United
States - while we hope for a more

WINS 8TH TERM --------
First elected to the National
price readjustments are inevitable.
Eventually things will have to level
down some. j
“The greatest job of Congress in
the agricultural field will be to
secure a revision of the present
long-range farm program,” he de-
elared. “In 1949 there is to be a
guaranteed support price of cotton
— 90 per cent of portly. But we
hove no assured support program
on groin sorghum Texas grain sor-
ghum growers produce 55 per cent
of this nation's grain sorghum."
he said.
“The lack of a support price pro-
gram for grain sorghum puts the
producer of that crop at a dis-
advantage. It will tend to make
the grain sorghum producer plant
more cotton in IMS than he other-
wise would plant, because he does
have the assurance of support
price on cotton."
"The worst defect with the long
range firm program is this: that
after IMS, the support price on cot-
ton will vary from 60 to 90 per
cent of parity,” he declared.

Mahon is completing his seventh
term, and Tuesday was overwhelm-
ingly re - elected . for another
term. For the past two years he
has been chairman of the 21 mem-
ber Texas delegation in Washing-
ton. and was one of 1S Congress-
men on the Harter Committee to
try at some future time.
“People need have no fear but
that their next Congress will con-
tinue in full force an accelerated
program of national defenae, he
emphasized.

Then he went on to point out that
"A 80 per cent support would
drastically reduce the income of
cotton producers and would be of
no practical value During the
last 23 years, a 60 per cent cotton
support price would have been
helpful in only three years.
"I shall advocate," be promised,
"in the next Congress a minimum
support price on cotton of 90 per
cent of parity."
Mahon discussed farm controls
with particular emphasis on cot-
ton acreage controls: “In recent
weeks 1 have attended 15 farm can duck to a graceful performance,
