Cong. Malum, Senator Johnson, Ate
Concerned About Flexible Program
Both Congressman George Ma*
hon and Senator Lyndon B.
Johnson expressed grave con-
cern over the passage of the new
flexible prjce support procedure
for basic farm crops, in letters
to The Review this week.
"Secretary of Agriculture Ben-
son is, no doubt, completely sin-
cere in believing that the . ... . .
proceduce ... will tend to dis-
procedure ... will tend to dis-
Congressman Mahbn. "I feel that
it supports are lowered, the far-
mer will have to seek to produce
a larger volume in order to get
sufficient income to carry on."
"I think the consequences of
this action will- be very adverse
to the farmer. The blow is being
softened for 1955 by way of set-
aside programs, etit, which are
provided for in the new farm
bill. The real, damaging blow to
agriculture which is now being
set in motion will not have ' its
full impact until 1956' and 1957.
In other words, the real', impact
will come later, and people
should not be misled by the su-\
gar-coating which is proposed
for 1955.
Worried About Diverted Acre*

are greatly disturbed oVfer the
kind of program which may be
placed in effect next year with

cotton, wheat, and probably mi-
lo. Secretary Benson has advised
. . . that he will place into oper-
ation next year a program which
will control the use by farmers
of these so-called diverted acres."
I think we will all agree that, if
we reduce the acreage of a crop
where there is surplus produc;
tion, it does not make much
sense to use the so-called divert-
ed acres for the production of
other crops which are in surplus.
On the^ other hand, for producers
to be put in too much of a
straight jacket with, respect to
the use of diverted acres, could
bring on very serious difficul-
ties."
No Help When Needed
Senator Johnson also believes
the flexible support bill which
sets the supports on a "sliding
scale" of between 82% and 90%
of parity, is wrong.
"To my way of thinking, the
legislation simply means that
when the farmer does not need
help, he will be guaranteed 90
per cent of a fair price. When the
farmer does need help, his In-
come will be lowered to 82*4 per
cent of a fair price.
"There is a basic assumption
behind this 'flexible' price sup-
port theory'with which I cannot
agree," the Senator writes. "It
is the assumption that there are
economic problems which can be
solyed by lowering the income
of one segment of our popula-
tion. N
"This seems to me a fallacious
theory. I do not believe that low-
er income for Texas farmers will
promote prosperity for residents
of Texas cities any more than I
believe that a low income for in-
dustrial workers promotes farm
prosperity.
Blow At Unity
"It ^is unfortunate that the.
campaign waged by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture on behalf of
its farm program h^s been of
such a nature as to divide the
American people. It has turned
—or sought to turn—city folks
against country folks.
"Farmers have been pictured
as bloated plutocrats, driving in-
to the city in their gold-plated
Cadillacs to pick the pockets of
the consumer. In the minds of
many, the farmer has become a
profiteer—a man who sells and
sells at fantastic, exorbitant
prices. That is a result of the
work of the high-powered press
agents in selling the theory of
'flexible' farm price supports.
"We know in Texas that this
is not a true picture of the far-
mer. We know that our farmers
have been hard hit by drouth—
by insect depredations^—by fall-
ing prices. . . .
"It is my considered opinion,
based on what I consider con-
vincing evidence, that flexible
price supports will not solve the
problem of farm surpluses—Will
not mean lower consumer prices
—will not mean prosperity. That
is why I voted against the Ad-
ministration bill. ■

The Texas Constitution reads: "All stationery, and printing , . .
shall be performed under contract, to he given to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder . . . No member or officers of any department
of the government shall be in any way interested in such con-
tracts; and all such contracts shall be. subject to the approval of
the Governor, Secretary of State and Comptroller."
We have in our possession reprints of photostatic copies of the
State of Ownership appearing in the Mission Times, showing that
Allan Shivers was a major stockholder of the Times in 1951. Since
that time Mrs. Allan Shivers and Mrs. John H. Shary, the gover-
nor's mother-in-law, have been listed as stockholders in the firm.

-. . ir
In 1951, while Allan Shivers was listed as a. stockholder, The
Times Publishing Company was awarded nifte first class printing
contracts with the State of Texas.
In 1952, with Mrs. Shivers and Mrs. Slhary listed as stockholders,
The Times Publishing Co., received contracts from the State of
Texas for 13 first class contracts and 21 second class contracts,
totaling $27,450.
From Sept. 1,1953 to Aug. 31, 1954, The Times received 10 first
class and 40 second class contracts from the State of Texas total-
ing $39,925. •
From Sept. 1,1954 to Aug. 81,1955, The Times has already been
awarded 46 first class printing contracts and 17 second class con-
tracts. . •

Remember this: Although Allan Shivers is no longer listed as a
stockholder in this firm, his wife and his mother-in-law are. He is
personally INTERESTED in these contracts and has benefited
FINANCIALLY from them.
REREAD THE LAW—THEN JUDGE FOR YOURSELF IF
ALLAN SHIVERS IS AN HON EOT MAN.
