: MORE ABOUT FARM BILL VETO
•
GOP Governors Protested
Ike's Farm Bill Veto
There were several matters
connected with the veto oí the
farm bill that were very inter-
esting. One of these was the
fact that several Governors who
belong to the same Party as the
President, realizing at firsthand
the plight of the American farm-
er, sought an audience with the
President to present their
thoughts on the subject matter.
The audience was granted for
Monday morning, April 16th, and
the doors of the White House
swung open to admit these gen-
tlemen to a conference on the
subject.
It was presumed by these men
that their thoughts and recom-
mendations were to be given
consideration with relation to
any action to be taken on this
piece of legislation. What they
didn't know was that the veto
message had already been writ-
ten and that they might as well
have been on a sightseeing tour.
The truth is that the veto mes-
sage was on Capitol Hill almost
before these Governors got the
dust of the White House off
their feet.
According to the Eastern press
quoting White House sources,
the advisory committee consult-
ed by the President concerning
the veto message consisted of
True D. Morse, Under Secretary
of Agriculture who has long ad-
vocated washing out all margin-
al farmers; Ezra Taft Benson,
Secretary of Agriculture, who has
repeatedly contested every pro-
vision contained in the farm
bill, but who has recently under-
written a soil bank proposal that
he formerly fought; Dr. Gabriel
Hauge, whose title as Doctor
does not refer to medicine and
obviously not to agriculture (an
economist who successfully con-
vinced some grain sorghum
farmers that I took to see him
last year that his agricultural
theories were fine except that
they wouldn't work on a farm);
Kevin McCann, a speech writer,
and last but not least, Mr. Fred
Seaton whose great farm knowl-
adge no doubt came from his
previous experience with the De-
partment of Defense.
My first reaction to the veto
message was that it. was written
by Gabriel Hauge, because much
of the language is identical with
the words and phrases used by
him when we had the grain sor-
ghum conference last year.
I had thought that the proper
thing for the President to do
would bt to consult with some
of the elected representatives of

the people, but I guess I just
haven't gotten rid of all my old-
fashioned ideas. It does seem
strange how these economists,
big businessmen, speechmakers,
and so forth are always willing
to run the farmer's business but
never want the farmer to have
any hand in theirs. However, the
farmer has always been used to
battling for his rights, and this
present battle has just begun.
The Claude Seniors
Claude High School sent its
fine group of seniors, twenty-
three strong, to the Capital City
for a visit during the Easter
holidays. This writer missed see-
ing them because he was in the
Panhandle. However, from all
reports these fine young people
certainly lent some color to
Washington, D. C. They stayed

agement tells us they were as
fine behaved a group of young-
sters as you could imagine.
The D. A. R. Convention
The Daughters of the American
Revolution are holding their an-
nual convention and Texas and
the 18th District are well repre-
sented. From Amarillo we have
Mrs. Clifford Rogers, Mrs. B. C.
D. Bynum, Mrs. Woodson Coffee,
Mrs. C. W. Furr and Mrs. Nelda
S. Holbert.
Visitors from the District
Mrs. Opal Cleek of Panhandle
came by for a nice visit which
we thoroughly enjoyed. We were
also honored by a visit from
Jerry P. Masterson of Amarillo
who was one of the first young
men that I appointed to the Na-
val Academy. He came through
with flying colors and will grad-
uate and receive his commission
in the very near future. Jerry
tells me that he is going into
aviation and will be stationed in
Arizona for his first tour of duty.
I know that Amarillo and the
entire 18th District will always
find reason to be proud of Jerry
and the other young men like
him.
We also had a call from Jim-
mie Goin of Amarillo who is In
the Navy and stationed here at
the Indian Head Powder Factory
for several weeks taking some
instructions. He soon returns to
the West Coast.
We had a call recently from
out good friend, Joe Miller, the
druggist over at Pampa. Joe was
in town visiting his brother and
had a busy stay.
As reported last week. Tommy
Thompson came in for the A. S.
N. E. meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Wes
Izard are also in town for this
meeting and will go to New
York for the publishers' meeting
later on this week.
