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”
