What the message speHa out is enact ment of the Brannon agricultural program. Senate debate on the displaced per sons measure was one of the most bitterly fought in the session. It was taken up early in Mar'.h and saw a continuous wrangle over more than 80 amendments proposed to the Mc- Carran bill, many of them by Sena tor McCarran himself, in an effor^ to save his own bill. During the hours of debate party lines were re peatedly shattered and the margin of victory with few exceptions was narrow. So confused were the sen ators that shortly after dinner one evening Senator Taft of Ohio dis covered the senate had amended a section of the bill which did not exist, as it had been knocked out already. So the senate had to back up and start over. The bill as fin ally passed differs slightly from an already-passed house bill. It provides for admission of 344,000 displaced persons through July l, 1951; permits entry of 20,000 war or phans from all European countries on a non-quota basis; includes in the total number 4,000 Chinese refugees, j 19,000 Polish army veterans now in J England,- 10,000 Greek refugees, 5,- I 000 former residents of Venezia-Gui- La and 57,744 Germans; denies visas ; to any person who has supported, or | does support any political or econ omic system directed toward over throw of free cortipetitive enterprise.

Washington, April 24—President Truman won hi^ first complete ma jor victory in the second session of the 81st congress when- the senate, by a vote of 49 to 25, passed the Kilgore liberalized displaced persons act which was substituted for the measure backed by Sen. Pat McCar ran of Nevada. In signing, under protest, the bill which would give temporary relief to acreage restrictions for cotton and peanut growers and which attempts to remedy the potato situation in 1951, President Truman sent a spe cial agricultural message to the con gress, which gave rise to rumors ‘.'.at this congress may st.ll try to do something about a long-range ag ricultural program. Said the President: “What is need ed is for the congress, to approach this problem with a view to correct ing the fundamental shortcomings in the present farm program ra’her than patching it up with makeshift legislation. “In spite of the shortcomings of the present joint resolution, I have decided that the urgent need for the relief which it will give to cot ton producers, and the promise that it holds out for making some im provement in the potato program outweigh the defects of the meas ure. “I again urge the cpngress to au thorizes system of production pay ments for potatoes and other perish able commodities so that unavoid ably surpluses can be sold to con sumers and used instead of taken off the market and largely wasted . . . “We face no small task in provid ing a system of agricultural legisla tion which will serve the needs of /armers for a fair income and will, at the same time, serve the needs of consumers for ample supplies of food, fibers and other crops at rea sonable prices, and the needs of the whole nation for a growing, expand ingeconomy and a healthy world trade. “I urge the congress to proceed to consider fundamental improve ments in our agricultural legislation to make it more efficient, less costly Chartered and Supervised by the United States Government Laurens Federal Savings & Loan Association Telephone 22271 LAURENS’ LARGEST SAVINGS INSTITUTION 104 West Main Street I^aurens, S.
