Mrs. Hobby Urges
Support Of TB Sale
New York, Nov. 26—Mrs. Oveta
Culp Hobby, second woman in U.S.
history and the first from Texas to
hold a post in the president’s cabi-
net, has urged each American to do
his share in stamping out tuber-
culosis.
“No one is safe from tubercu-
losis,” declared Mrs. Hobby, a
Houston newspaper executive who
became the first Secretary of the
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
Commenting on the 47th annual
Christmas Seal Sale of the nation’s
Tuberculosis Associations the secre-
tary continued, “Even today when
we know that tuberculosis can be
prevented, it is still first among
disease killers that are preventable.
“It is still the leading cause of
non accidental deaths in persons
between 15 and 35.
“Because TB is a problem of all
the people, citizens in all parts of
the United States are working to-
gether to wipe it out. Single-hand-
ed we are powerless. But by pooling
our resources, each one of us can
do his share in our democratic
way. We can conquer this scourge.
For it is by, and only by coopera-
tive community action that we can
stamp out tuberculosis.”
The Texas Tuberculosis Associa-
tion and its affiliated county or-
ganizations are joining in the tra-
ditional Christmas Seal Sale con-
ducted once each year to carry on
their year-around fight against
tuberculosis.

be required for sale in the domestic
or primary market. This would be
divided among the producers ar.d
on the crop taken from this acre-
age they would have a fixed parity
and *upport price. Beyond this
they could plant all they pleased
for sale without support, in the
world market.
On the question of cotton acre-
age reduction in 1954, which now
seems inevitable, our people favor
a tapering off process. They feel
that they cannot take the whole re-
duction in one bite, and favor the
amendment which we adopted in
the House of Representatives last
summer which sets the 1954 acre-
age at 22Vt million instead of 17'k
which the present lav.’ requires.
This House-passed measure is
awaiting action in the Senate. If it
is given immediate consideration
in January the amendment could be
passed in time to protect our
people in the 1954 planting.
The exact method by which
future cattle producers can be pro-
tected from the troubles of the past
year continues to puzzle my best
advisors. If we have another com-
bination of drouth and economic
pressure, it may be that the steps
taken by the government, if they
are put into effect immediately and
without the hesitancy which held
us back last spring, will do the job.
Government purchase of distressed
livestock, feed for ranchers who
need it to survive, plus a loan to
re-establish foundation herds, and
last but not least, rain on the
ranges, may take care of the situa-
tion. This does not satisfy all pro-
ducers, especially the small ones
They feel that there should be
some sort of price support. If the
program now in force does not
straighten out the troubles, .here
will be a powerful demand for
some such system.
Some of my well-to-do consti-
tuents feel that the root of all our
evils is the high tariff, and the'
feel that we in the Congress should
busy ourselves to remove this
tariff and encourage the “free
trade,” which once was the slogan
of the Democratic Party. Whether
these friends of mine are right or
wrong, it would take a lot of doing
and a lot of time to tear down the
trade barriers behind which in-
dustry has prospered for so many
years. In the meantime, I see no al-
ternative but to protect agriculture
through some system which will
keep it on a “PARITY” with the
rest of the national economy.
