That the administration is divided on the parity issue is seen from the | fact that Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan had testified be fore the house agricultural commit tee in defense of the present parity [program. The President’s parity pro-[ I gram followed that of his chief mob- j ilization officer, Charles E. Wilson, ! who wants to freeze parity as of Jan uary 15 for a year at a time, instead of letting the parity figure fluctuate as it now does according to the cost of living for the farmer. In his message asking for a two-, year extension of the defense pro-' duction act which expires June 30 this year, the President wants tighter credit contrqls and higher taxes to drain off excess purchasing power. “The world situation could explode at any time and we must make every day count,” the President said. Pie held out as an alternative to the freezing of the parity program other devices “including limited food sub sidies to prevent necessary farm price increases from being reflected in rises in the cost of living.” Amazingly enough, Secretary! Brannan who has heretofore not been in the good graces of the Farm Bureau, the National Grange or, other farm organizations has won! their highest commendations for his! defense of the parity program, and! in the case he made for the farmers before the congressional committees. * * « As to subsidies, this plan long has been opposed by farm organizations, but a report of the defense produc tion administration just this week indicates that industrial firms, some 600 of them, have been granted tax amortizations on cretificates on plant and facilities expansions totalling $4,100,000,000 which will amount to little more than a subsidy from the government for a large part of that huge sum. Included in the Presi dent’s message were these recom mendations other than the parity freeze: (1) Authorize the government to build and operate defense plants where necessary to produce essen tial materials and equipment; (2) permit use of differential subsidies to get essential production from high cost sources without increasing price ceilings; (3) provide controls over credit on existing housing, and reg ulations for speculative trading on commodity exchanges; (4) strength en the laws to permit a tough and aggressive enforcement of price con trols; (5) enforce effective control over both residential and commercial ‘ rents. His anti-inflation program in- | eluded, beside a tax increase, in-' creased personal savings through purchase of goverpment bonds; re duction of borrowing and credit buy ing for non-defense purposes; fair ceilings on prices and rents and sta- bllization of wages and salaries at fair levels. nent buildings. • * • Despite his declaration that he would refuse to continue as a mem ber of the crime protoe committee, after the senate voted to continue the life of its special crime investi gation committee unanimously, Sen ator Estes Kefauver has agreed to remain a member 1 of the committee, although chairmanship will be taken over by Senator Herbert R.

HARPER THE UNITED KINGDOM II Samuel 5: 1-5; 8:15; I Corin thians 22: 17-19 Memory Selection: Psalms 27:14 The day’s lesson is one of history, with the opportunity of drawing use ful truth. The first thing to be learned is that the United Kingdom was of brief duration, having only two kings—David and Solomon. This was due to the folly of one man, Re- hoboam, the son of Solomon. Consider David’s attitude toward God. While his personal life was of ten at varriance to God’s will, the purpose nf Tiavid as a ruler was to Although technically the bill is not dead, the senate has voted against dispersal of some 45,000 government employees to nearby Maryland and Virginia and elsewhere in the coun try to insure continuity of vital gov ernmental activities in event of an atomic attack on Washington. The vote was relatively close, 45 to 39. The vote, came, however, on a mo tion by Senator Dirksen of Illinois to recommit the bill for further study, so it was not killed outright. Such a dispersal program has been under study in the capital since last August and the cost has been esti mated up to $139,000,000 and would include construction of four perma- honor God in the kingdom and bring his people to sincere veneration of the Lord. r The democratic processes in Israel, so early in human history, are ex amples unto rulers and people to day.

S. J. WHITFIELD “For many years I was a constant sufferer of asthma. I had been to many doctors who placed me on special diets to no avail. Having heard of the wonderful results being obtainefi under Dr. Hart’s care, I decided to consult him about my case. “My condition was so bad that I could not sweep my floors with out having an attack of asthma. Tests revealed that I was allergic to house dust, sweet milk, sea foods such as oysters, fish. I was un able to sleep on pillows made from mixed feathers. "When I first started taking Dr. Hart’s treatments, I was hardly able to do my housework. My blood pressure was low and I could not stand anything much. It looked like everything I did resulted in an attack of suffocating asthma. Some of these attacks were so bad that it was necessary to have shots of adrenalin. "After taking a series of Chiropractic treatments from Dr. C. J. Hart of Laurens. S. C., I have not had another attack of asthma. I was so nervous I could not sleep, but since the treatments I sleep like a log. “I am no longer allergic to house dust, sweet milk, fish, oysters or mixed feather pillows. Other doctors had insisted that I could not hope for recovery, but I have had so much relief since going to Dr. Hart that I feel that I am almost well. I feel fine and my nerves are much better. "Dr. Hart has done so much for me that I write this letter to let other people know about my wonderful results, so that they too may be helped by- Dr. Hart. I feel sure that he can help them as he helped me." Signed: Mrs. S. J. Whitfield, Palmetto St., Clinton. (Adv.)
