Thursday, March 13, 1952 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Fiv« J Farmers Union Head Attacks _ Bureau Opposition Dallas.—President James G. Pat ton of the National Farmers Union, today accused the rival Farm Bu reau Federation of obstructing leg islation beneficial tq family farm ers. “Farmers Union has had to fight the Farm Bureau on almost every proposal to benefit the family farmers,’’ Patton said in an address prepared for the opening session of the FU’s 50th annual national con vention. “The record of the Farm Bu reau’s obstruction in regard to fed erally generated public power, rural electrification, rural tele phones and valley authorities, is well known despite the fact Farm Bureau leaders operate mainly be hind the scenes,” said Patton. Delegates were scheduled to make a 50-mile pilgrimage to the east this afternoon for a memorial service fat Smyrna school house, near the rural community of Point, Texas, where the Farmers union was bom Sept. 2, 1902. The or ganization amassed about a million members in the South before losing a majority of < its members to the Farm Bureau.* In an interview last night Patton told newsmen that the farm vote probably would go to a Democrat for President this year. He said farmers make up an independent voting bloc which was swayed by the candidates’ views on farm legislation. - Of all the announced candidates, Patton said, • Sen. Kerr (D-Okla) “has come out most strongly for farm price supports.” He said Sen. Russell (D-Ga) was “historically a friend of agricff- ture ... on the high price Side,” and that Sen. Kefauver <D-Tenn) had views that “were less clear,” but that he had never been un friendly. The farm leader said Gen. Dwight D E.isenhower “has two strikes agoinst him because he is a “military man,” and that Sen. Taft (R-Ohio) advocated farm poli cies which made him “less favor able to agriculture.” Patton also accused the Farm Bureau of seeking to destroy the Farth Security Administration, and the OPA after World War II. He said FU’s “historic fight for the Brannan Plan is not over” WEEK-END TRIPS . . VISITORS : .
