One hundred twenty-one pounds of Williamsalfalfa seed, a superior strain developed by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, was sown in rows on 136.7 acres of irrigated land at Bakersfield, California for seed production. Already 185,000 pounds have been harvested from the resulting crop. In otherwords each 14.5 ozs. of seed planted per acre resulted in a yield of 1353 pounds! This seed plus about 12,000 lbs. produced in Kansas will be brought to Virginia and made available to farmers for 1953 plantings at a price expected to be about 5c above that of other alfalfa varieties. Through demonstrations of one half acre each of Williamsburg Alfalfa were started in Rappahannock last August on the farms of P.M. Finks, C. E, Johnson Jr. and Smith of Dolmont Farm. iiic mure uoirduic varieties auapied to Rappahannock in addition to Williamsburg are: Atlantic and Buffalo. Farmers planning to make August 1953 seedings are advised to place orders and get their seed next February or March. Malignant Edema. — Dr. W. L. Wake reports diagnostic labratory findings on smears taken from calves having died of symptons similar to blackleg to be malignant edema. Labratory diagnosis was sought because of similarity of the two diseases and too, because the calves had been vaccinated against blackleg. Readers of this column will recall farmers were advised about two years ago to use the double bacterin to protect calves from both blackleg and malignant edema because of outbreaks in Culpeper and Madison Counties. Dr. Wake can supply farmers with the type of bacterin. There is comparatively little difference in cost. Heifer Vaccination Program. — Indications are that vaccination of heifers against Brucellosis will be postponed until the third week in November. A schedule will be made up Saturday, November 1 and mailed to those having heifers 4-8 months of age to be vaccinated. All requests for vaccination must be made to my office by October 31. Todate 57 farmers have indicated they have 304 heifers to be vaccinated.

News Barbara Griffith, Reporter On Monday evening, October 27, the General Music Class of R.C.H.S. attended a concert by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra at the Mosque in Richmond, conducted by Eugene Ormandy. This was the first time for most of us to see and hear a large orchestra. This symphony is made up of 113 outstanding musicians and we are particularly impressed with Mr. Ormandy’s skill in conducting. * . ,.-'j We plan to make this the beginning of our musical jaunts to see and hear live concerts. Members of the party were Peggy Pillar, Peggy Green, Bobby Massie, Winfrey Thornhill, Louise Johnson, Mrs. W. A. Gentry, Miss Louise Schwartz, Paul -Nichols, and Miss Charlotte Golladay. At a meeting of the Northern Triangle Federation Club held October 14 at Luray the Rappahannock F.F.A. Chapter had the honor of having one of the officers for the coming year. The officers for the club were elected from five F. F. A. Chapters. Douglas Martin will serve as secretary of the dub, representing Rappahannock F.F. A. Chapter. The Chapter is one hundred per cent behind Douglas, hoping that he will make a successful officer for the Federation Club. Miss Dorothy Bland and Mrs. Barbara Gentry have returned to their teaching positions after having attended the Virginia Education Association convention in Richmond. The convention was very educational and interesting. On Tuesday, Miss Bland and her General Business students motored to Winchester to visit the Shenandoah Valley National Bank. The class has just finished studying banking and checks. Harold Brown, president of the bank, formerly of Rappahannock, invited Miss Bland and. her General students to tour <the most modern hank iit Northern Virginia. Mr. Brown and the Board of Directors have decided to give five prices to students of this class for writing an essay on “My Visit To The Shenandoah Bank.” These essays are to be judged and given five ranks for five prizes. There are five banks to be given in addition to $5 for the first pri^e, $4 for the second prize and $3 for the 'third. The fourth and fifth prizes will be a hank. There are 24 students in the class writing these essays. The essays will be judged by Rodes Brown, Mrs. George Taylor and Miss Bland. Harold Brown will then choose the best essay to be posted in the Shenandoah Valley National Bank so the public can read how students feel about this modern bank and how it may have influenced their minds by someday becoming an employer of a bank. The General Business class plans to make four or five different trips this year to various business firms, factories, etc. This gives the students a chance to learn and study about v. jobs of which someday they may become an employee. The class has made one trip and one half of the class are seriously thinking of becoming bankers.

Jones states views (hi Democratic Platform In a statement issued today, E. M. Jones, whose name appears on the presidential 'ballot as elector for the Democratic Party from the Seventh Congressional District, has said that his name does not indicate that he personally endorses what he terms the “Truman-Stevenson-Sparkman” ticket. The Seventh District Elector upheld his personal views with convictions that he was being true to his forebears and to his children by being a “Virginia Democrat.” E. M. Jones, a member of the Rappahannock Democratic Committee, was named as an elector at the state convention in Roanoke in July. The statement, which went over Associated Press iwires , today reads: “The fact that my name appears on the general election ballot as aii elector for the Seventh Congressional District of Virginia under the Truman-Stevenson-Sparkman party does not indicate that I personally indorse or subscribe to the Truman-Stevenson candidacy, policies, or platform. I cannot indorse some of the stated policies of Truman and Stevenson and still be true to my forebears who have always been Virginia Dmocrats, and also be true to my children whom I hope will always be Virginia Democrats,” states the signed statement of E. M. Jones. Mr. Jones, long an active member .of the Democratic Committee in the county, had displayed his views privately and the public announcement comes as no great surprise. Like his fellow-life-long-Democrat, Senator Byrd, he uses the phrase “Virginia Democrat” and words his opposition as being toward the “Truman Party.” Mr. Jones issued no statement that he would support nor endorse any other nationl political party. Thompson - Russell Mr. and Mrs. Janies H. Russell of Winter Park, Florida, announce the marriage of their daughter, Betty Gay, to John Yates Thompson, on Wednesday, October 22, at Leesburg.

Subscription:-$2.00 a year The Home Stretch So far, there have been no expressed regrets that the election * will be over by this time time next week. In fact, most folks plainly —and emphatically—state they will be glad to see the end of it. If one listened to the speeches of both sides, there is only one conclusion: both candidates are liars, cheats, thieves, aids to communism and socialism, and every known and unknown crime and perfidious behavior! They both are fit subjects for (1) a firing squad, (2) the penitiary, and (3) an insane asylum. According to the political speeches it’s a miracle they have escaped lynching! It’s with relief we can know that by next Tuesday night it will all be over, and we can settle down with the decision made. Regardless of which man or party it is, that's our government for the next four years. We shall treat it with the respect it is due—and cuss it out to our hearts’ content! That’s one of the great privileges of the good-ole’-U.S.A.: we elect the governing officials, agree to abide by the majority rule, and then spend most of our spare moments abusing them! There have been many thoughts and speeches during the past two months. Some speeches had thoughts, and others didn’t; and vice versa. The wise man has stated that if all citizens concerned themselves with government workings as much every year as they do in election year, we would have a much better country. Anyway, it’s nearing the end now, and for ruch we can give much thanks. It’s to be hoped we haven’t said too many things for which we will be sorry, and that we haven’t made enemies unnecessarily. It will be difficult to maintain that we desire peace in this war-torn world when we can’t even get along pleasantly with our neighbors for the short duration of an election.

Emily B. Miller Letter To Editor Detfr Editor, It was with a feeling of great disappointment that I noted your decision to vote for Stevenson. Havnig heard you extol the advantages of freedom and advocate a man’s right to furnish his own personal security, and knowing that you admire the principles of the early Virginian leaders who made our country great. I can not yet quite reconcile you and the present Democratic party leadership. «. __ I duly noted your lack of enthusiasm for either presidential candidate and sympathize. But don’t the issues of the campaign go far beyond personalities? For twenty years we have known only Democratic leadership. Twenty years ago a change was as necessary as it is today. We had that change then; if we have it again, the twoparty system of government in the United States may again serve, as it was planned by those great men who wrote our constitution, as a check to prevent too great on accumulation of power by any party. In the past 20 years we have come out of a great depression, and, in the opinion of money people, are headed for a much more disastrous one. Mow does one’s personal ownership to me? A fellow picks up a purse containing a small fortune; another thinks of a winning slogan in a contest; another is picked from a crowd and gets a7- large sum of money for answering a simple question.

Personally, one can be as thoroughly destroyed by a small volcano as by a large one, but our entire country suffers less from the small one- How can a man whose business principles compel him to run his business on a round economic basis, reconcile those principles with a vote for the present Democratic administration, which has enlarged our national debt until Virginia’s pro-rata share is as much as the entire assets of all real estate and tangible property in the state of Virginia ? Here are the issues as I see them: the threat of national bankruptcy, caused by excessive government spending, high taxes, inflation, the trend to socialism, the Korean war, the communist influence, and the Taft-Hartly Law. The denunciations made by each party's candidate and the petty, spiteful personalities indulged in, seem remote when compared to the real issues. Can’t we realize that the present Democratic administration has shown no inclination to attempt to stop the present trend toward great national disaster? Surely Mr. Truman’s vociferous and Mr. Stevensdn’s endorsement of Truman ism should be a warning to those who denounce Truman and laud Stevenson! As the present administration continues to control the American people whether by' bonuses, controls or deceptive*, the more difficult becomes the future emancipation of the American people themselves. Have we American, Virginian, Rappahannock people ceased to think for ourselves? Have we ceased to think of that which is good for our country? It tends to decrease one's faith in the American man when he admits he is for the administration, thought of the national economic who “does the most for me,” with no poverty which lies behind his personal prosperity. As surely as one's personal debts will overtake him, so surely will the same national bankruptcy overtake the excessive spending of our present government. Wake up, fellow citizens of Rappahannock !

Letter To Editor: It’s high time that someone in this county was coming to the aid of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower as candidate for the President of the U.S. It is true that this county has always been a Democratic section but times and conditions can bring about many changes. All of us are familiar with the corruption that has existed in the present Democratic administration. It is a self evident fact ths^t when one party stays in control too long it leads to corruption. It is the balancing of political powers that has kept for us a special freedom-namely—to vote for the man of our choice. Truman on his “Whistle-Stop-Tour” is not willing to give a man this freedomto vote for a man of his choice. Just because he thinks Stevenson is the right man for the job, he is trying to ram him down the throats of the American people whether they want him or not. Do you think, for one moment, that Truman would campaign for Stevenson if he didn’t have the assurance that the same program that he advocated in the White House would be carried out? There is not one single instance where Stevenson has tried to stop him. Isn’t that proof enough ? Our nation today owes more money than it* is actually worth. Have you ever stopped to think how the government is planning to pay these debts? There is just one way—that is to go into business. This is socialism. What will this do to the small business man? He won’t have a ghost of a chance when it comes to competing with the government. Socialism does away with all individualism enterF8" ■ prise. It is individualism that has helped to make us, as a nation, what we are today. Are we going to let another Democratic administration further socialism? That is definitely what Stevenson advocates. We hear on every side — “Prosperity - 1932 to 1952.” What has brought about this prosperity? It was and is today the dicing soldier on the battlefield who has given his life that we might have more money in our pockets to jingle and more cars in which to ride. To the mothers of these boys this is a direct challenge. Are you willing for your sons to die in order to have this kind of prosperity in America? If so, then vote for Stevenson, who has given the American people absolutely nothing constructive pertaining to the ending of the Korean War. Since the President of the U.S. is the commander-in-chief of the American forces, lets give it to a real commander-in-chief, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose executive leadership has proven that he is a man of the people and for the people. —Matilda Walker Amissville News Notes Maddox Tapp of Front Royal visited his mother, Mrs. Neddie Tapp recently.

LAIRD & CO. • NORTH GARDEN (Paid Political Advertising) WHO DID ' LOW COST ELECTRICITY Only 1 farm in 10 had electricity in 1932. Today 9 out of 10 have it! The Republican Party tries to cripple the rural electrification program. But America’s farmers get low-cost electricity anyway. Who did it?—the Democrats! PARITY PRICE SUPPORTS The Republican Party voted against the program that insures farmers fair prices for their crops. But prices of all basic farm products are now supported at 90 per cent of parity, despite the Republicans. Farmers are protected against price drops that could wipe them out. Who did it?—the Democrats! SOIL CONSERVATION In the old days it was “mine the soil and the devil take the future.” Today 4 out of 5 farms in America are in soil conservation districts. More than 52 , million acres of restored, improved farm and pasture land are producing more for our farmers. Who did it?—the Democrats! FARM PROSPERITY * I- 1 Farm output has increased nearly 50 per cent since 1932. Net income for the average farmer is now ten times what it was in 1932. Farmers have more modern, mechanical equipment — bought and paid for—than was i dreamed of 20 years ago. Work is easier. Today farmers prosper in a thriving economy—along with everybody else. Who did it? , —the Democrats! —' THE DEMOCRATS VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC Virginia Democratic Headquarters SoU Tour Held Thursday, November 6 The VPI Professors, who are conducting soil surveys in the state were so very much impressed by the attendance and inthusiasm of the first meeting of the Rappahannock County Agronomy and Horticulture committees, that county agent W.H. Lyne is reasonable sure, if the same interest is shown at the second meeting on Thursday, November 6, beginning from the Courthouse at 10 a.m., that a soil survey will be taken by VPI experts. This tour will include soils of F. T. Valley, Flint Hill, Amissville—and Washington areas which were not included in the previous tour. It is most important that the members of the Agronomy, Livestock and Horticulture Committees, Professional Agriculture workers, Board of Supe rvisors, Realators, Bank Cashiers and a representative of the Rappahannock News be present. A soil survey of Rappahannock Co. is thought by experts to be the soundest and most fundamental step we can take towards improving our county’s agricultural and the welfare of the people. Charles L.

John Tripett knows. (He learned the hard way!) YOU GET THIS: I LEVY 4f (On your Bank — your name, date, etc) You are hereby notified that there is due from (your name is here) to the United States of America the sum of $ XX.xx as and for an internal revenue tax. You are further notified that all property, rights to property, moneys, credits, and/or bank deposits now in your possession. are hereby seized . . to be applied in payment of the said tax liability. 1. John Triplett thinks the Government has gone in the insurance business and forced him to buy an old age retirement without asking him whether or not he wanted ft. 2. The Government called the insurance “social security for selfemployed” and sent the bill on an “Income Tax” form. 3. The Government called this insurance a “tax” in order to collect it. 4. John Triplett considers that the Government calls this insurance a tax, .but they proved it cannot be a tax because they cannot charge a penalty on the non-payment. They add interest in lieu of a penalty. V . .e- i 5. Non-payment of a tax is a criminal offense, and you will be able to get the case into court, but a “social security” non-payment can’t be gotten into Court. 6. John Triplett believes that if this could be got before a Court, it it would be declared unconstitutional. He believes that those who set up social security” originally knew that it was unconstitutional and they arranged the legal blocking of a man’s right to choose his own type of insurance. 7. John Triplett believes that Government has no place in business, whether it is in competition with insurance, or the feed and flour business, which is his own. 8. John Triplett wrote his protest to his Congressmen. Senator Harry Byrd answered by re-affirming his disbelief in all socialistic schemes. Senator A. Willis Robertson stated that he had been on the finance committee at time of social security extended coverage and had voted that a self-employed should have a ’choice as to whether he wished to be included. However—-Senator Robertson said it was the first letter concerning Social Security, either pro or con, that he had received. 9. John Triplett warns that this “social security” coverage is coming up for farmers, preachers,. and professional men during the next Congress. Originally “social security insurance” was for workers ^ where * business did not have retirement insurance. Then it included all workers, regardless of present retirement plans. Next it took in state employees, plus teachers. Next it took in a block of self-employed. The next step is creeping to include farmers, preachers, and doctors. a 10. John Triplett begs all citizens, to wrile their Congressmen, stating if they do or do not wish this “social security insurance.’* Vote Vote Vote

Johnson of this county. With the prolonged dry period during the summer months and also the lack of sufficient rain during the early fall weeks, the forests are becoming very dry. ‘Unless sufficient rainfall is received within the next two weeks, this could develop into the worst fall forest fire season in many a year, states the Chief. The leaves from the hardwood trees falling to the ground, along with the curing of the other vegetation on the forest floor, continue to build up the fuel for fast burning forest fires. > Caution with fire is the warning to all people visiting the forests at this time of year. The Virginia Forest Service Fire Lookout Towers will be manned on high danger fire days now until the danger decreases in the county.

Scientific facts to back up the farmer who top-dresses his permanent pastures properly are cited hy Dr, H. L. Dunton, head of the VPI agronomy department. For instance—at the Charlotte branch of the VPI Agricultural Experiment Station, a, well-fertilized ladino clover-orchard grass pasture produced six times as much forage as an unfertilized area over a fouryear period. The fertilized pasture yield nearly three tons yearly of high-quality ladino clover-orchard» grass forage, in which there were practically no weeds. The unfertilized area gave about one-half ton per acre of a poor quality feed, mostly weeds. This experiment was conducted on a Cecil soil. At the Orange branch, on a productive red soil, properly top*dressed pastures yielded over a ton per acre more of ladino and fescue than did poorly fertilized areas. At the end of two years, there is a much better stand of clover in the well fertilized pasture than in the poorly fertilised one.' v ' • •“ ■ '. Tests on bluegrass-white clover pastures conducted in southwest Virginia for a 12-year period, showed that on the average well-fertilized pastures gave more than twice the yield of poorly fertilized ones. Not only was the yield doubled, but the fertilized pasture contained an excellent blue grass-whije clover sod while the ‘ poorly fertilized pasture was mostly broomsage with a little blue grass and practically no white clover. Dr. Dunton says farmers who fertilize properly get not only high yields of quality forage but two weeks earlier grazing in the spring and two weeks later grazing in the fall. Top-dressing also enables pastures to make a quick comeback after grazing, or when rains come after dry weather. A well-fertilized permanent pasture should furnish from 210 to 240 days of grazing each year. j Further information on top-dressing pastures can be had from county agents of the VPI Agricultural Exnsion Service.

In the previous three years the fair was held at the .Ferris Farm Race Track. The change in location was due to the unbalance in the distance that some of the exhibitors had to bring their exhibits.

The Democratic Platform . (Editor’s Note) — In the past few weeks we have heard the Democratic Platform discussed so often, quoted, and mis-qvoted, we feel that our readers should have an opportunity to read and study it intelligently this last week before the election. “ Our nation has entered into an age in which Divine Pro\idence has permitted the genius of man to unlock the secret of the atom. No system of government can survive the challenge of an atomic era unless its administration is committed to the stewardship of a trustee imbued with a democratic faith, a buoyant hope for the future, the charity of brotherhood, and the vision to translate these ideals into the realities of human government. The Government of the United States, administered by the Democratic Party, is today so entrusted. The free choice of the Democratic Party by the people of America as the instrument to achieve that purpose will mean world peace with honor, national security based on collective pacts with other free nations, and a high level of human dignity. National survival demands that these goals be attained, and the. endowments of the Democratic Party alone can assure their attainment. For twenty years, under the dedicated guidance of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S Truman, our country has moved steadily along the road which has led the United States of America to world leadershpi in the cause of freedom. We will not retreat one inch along that road. Rather, it is our prayerful hope that the people whom we have so faithfully served, will renew the mandate to continue our service and that Almighty God may grant us the Wisdom to succeed. Twenty Years of Progress Achieving Prosperity. An objective appraisal of the past record clearly demonstrates that the Democratic Party has been the chosen American instrument to achieve prosperity, build a stronger democracy, erect the structure of world peace, and continue on the path of progress. Democratic Party policies and programs rescued American business from total collapse—from the fatal economic consequences of watered stock, unsound banks, useless and greedy holding companies, high tariff barriers, and predatory business practices, all of which prevailed under the last Republican administrations. Democratic policies have enabled the Federal government to help all business, small and large, to achieve the highest rate of productivity, the widest domestic and world markets, and the largest profits in the history of the nation. The simple fact is that today there are more than four million operating business enterprises in this country, over one million more than existed in 1332. Corporate losses in that fateful year were over $3 billion; in 1951, corporate profits, after taxes, reached the staggering total of $18 billion. Democratic policies and programs rescued American agriculture from the economic consequences of blight, drought, flood and storm, from oppressive and indiscriminate foreclosures, and from the ruinous conditions brought about by the bungling incompetence and neglect of the preceding twelve years of Republican maladministration. Economic stability, soil consecration, rural electrification, farm dwelling improvement, increased production and efficiency and more than seven-fold increase in cash income have been the return to farmers for their faith in the Democratic Party. Democratic labor policies have rescued the wage earners in this Country from mass unemployment and from sweat shop slavery at starvation wages. Under our Democratic administrations, decent working conditions have become the rule rather than the exception. Self organization of labor unions and collective bargaining, both of which are the keystone to labor* management peace and prosperity, must be encouraged, for the good of all. Unemployment is now less than 3 per cent of the labor force, compared with almost 25 per cent in 1932. Trade union membership has reached a total of 16 million, which is more than five times the total of 1932. The welfare of all economic and, social groups in our society has been promoted by the sound, pro gressive and humane policies of the Democratic Party. Strengthening Democracy. We are convinced that lasting prosperity must be founded upon a healthy democratic society respectful of the rights of all people. Under Democratic Party leadership more has been done in the past twenty years to enhance the sanctity of individual rights than ever before in our history. Racial and religious minorities have progressed further toward real equality than during the preceding 150 years. Governmental services, democratically administered, have been improved and extended. The efficiency, economy, and integration of federal operations have been advocated and effectuated through sound programs and policies. Through cooperative programs of federal aid, state and local governments have been encouraged and enabled to provide many more services........ The Democratic Party has been alert to the corroding and demoralizing effects of dishonesty and disloyalty in the public service. It has exposed and punished those who would corrupt the integrity of the public service, and it has always championed honesty and morality in government. The Loyalty Program of President Truman has served effectively to prevent infiltration by subversive elements and to protect honest and loyal public servants against unfounded and malicious attacks. We commend the relentless and fearless actions of Congressional committees which, under vigorous Democratic Party has been based upon principles of justice and equity, and upon the American tradition of fair play. Men who are elected to high political office are entrusted with high responsibilities. Slander, defamation' of character, deception and dishonesty are as truly transgressions of God’s commandments when resorted to by men in public life as they are for all other men. Building Peace With Honor. The Democratic Party has worked constantly for peace — lasting peace, peace with honor, freedom, justice, and security for all nations. The return of the Democratic Party to power in 1933 marked the end of a tragic era of isolationism fostered by Republican administrations which had deliberately and callously rejected the golden opportunity created by Woodrow Wilson for collective action to secure the peace. This folly contributed to the second World War. Victory in that war has presented the nations of the world a neiw opportunity which the Democratic Party is determined shall not ibe lost. We have helped establish the instrumentalities through which the hope of mankind for universal world peace can be realized. Under Democratic leadership, our nation has moved promptly and effectively to meet and repel the menace to world peace by Soviet imperialism. Progress in the New Era. The Democratic Party believes that past progress is but a prelude to the human aspirations which may be realized in the future. Under Democratic Party leadership, America has accepted each neiw challenge of history and has found practical solutions to meet and overcome them. This we have done without departing from the principles of our basic philosophy that it is the destiny of man to achieve his earthly ends in the . spirit of brotherhood. A great Democrat — Franklin Delano Roosevelt — devised the programs of the New Deal to meet the pressing problems of the '30’s. Another great Democrat — Harry S Truman—devised the programs of America in the 1940’s. The Democratic Party is ready to face and solve the challenging problems of the 1960’s. We dedicate ourselves to the magnificent work of these great Presidents and to mould and adapt t(heir Democratic principles to the new problems of the years ahead. In this spirit we adopt and pledge ourselves to this, the Democratic platform for 1952. Our Goal Is Peace With Honor Peace with honor is the greatest of all our goals.. We pledge our unremitting efforts to avert another world war. We are determined that the people shall be spared that frightful agony. We are convinced that peace and security can be safeguarded if America does not deviate from the practical and successful policies developed under Democratic leadership since the close of World War II. We will resolutely move hhead with the constructive task of promoting peace. THE DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM FOR PEACE AND NATIONAL SECURITY Supporting the United Nations. Under Democratic leaderships this country sponsored and helped create the United Nations and became a charter member and staunchly supports its aims. We will continue our efforts to strengthen tb e United Nations, imprbve its institutions as experience requires, and foster its growth and development. ....... The communist aggressor has been hurled back from South Korea. Thus, Korea has proved, once and for all, that the United Nations will resist aggression. We • urge continued effort, by every honorable means, to bring about a fair and effective peace settlements in Korea in accordance with the principles of the United Nations’ charter. Strong National Defense. Our Nation has strengthened its national defenses against the menace of Soviet aggression. The Democratic Party will continue to stand unequivocally for strong, balanced defense forces for this country—land, sea, and air. We will continue to support the expansion and maintenance of the military and civil defense forces required for our national security. We reject the defeatist view of those Iwho say we cannot afford the expense and effort necessary to defend ourselves. We express our full confidence in the Joint Chiefs of Staff. We voice complete faith in the ability and valor of our armed forces, and pride in their accomplishments. COLLECTIVE STRENGTH FOR THE FREE WORLD We reject the ridiculous notions of those who would have the. United States face the aggressors alone. That would be the most expensive—and the most dangerous —method of seeking security. This Nation needs strong allies, around the world, making their maximum contribution to the common defense. They add their strength to ours in the defense of freedom. The Truman Doctrine in 1947, the organization of hemisphere defense at Rio de Janeiro that game year, the Marshall Plan in 1948, the North Atlantic Treaty of 1949, the Point IV program, the resistance to communist aggression in Korea, the Pacific Security Pacts in 1951, and the Mutual Security Programs now under way —- all stand as landmarks .of America’s progress in mobilizing the strength of Hie free world to keeg peace. Encouraging European Unity. We encourage’1 the economic and political unity of free Europe and the increasing solidarity of the nations of the North Atlantic Community. We hail the Schujnan Plan to pool the basic resources of industrial western Europe, and the European Defense Community. We are proud of America's part in carrying these great projects forward and we pledge our continuing support until they are established. Support for Frao Germany. We welcome the German Federal Republic into the company of free nations. We are determined that Germany shall remain free and continue as a good neighbor in the European community. We sympathize with the German .people's wish for unity and will continue'to do everything we can by peaceful means to overcome the - Kremlin’s obstruction of that rightful aim. Support for the Victims of Soviet Imperialism. We will not abandon the once-free peoples of Central and Eastern Europe who suffer now under the Kremlin’s tyranny in violation of the Soviet Union’s most solemn pledges at Teheran, Yalta, and Potsdam. The United States should join other nations in formally declaring genocide to be an international crime in time of peace as well as war. ' This crime was exposed once more by the shocking revelations of Soviet guilt as disclosed in the report filed in Congress by the speccial committee investigating the Katyn Forest massacre. We look forward to the day when the liberties of Poland and the other oppressed Soviet satellites, including Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Rulgaria, Albania, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia and other nations in Asia under Soviet domination, will be restored to them and they can again take their rightful place in the^community of free nations. We will carry forward and expand the vital arid effective program of the “Voice of America” for penetration of the “Iron Curtain,” bringing truth and hope to all the people subjugated fay the Soviet Empire. Support for the Nations of the Middle East. We seek to enlist the people of the Middle East to work with ifs and with each other in the development of the region, the lifting of health and living standards, and the attainment of peace. We favor the development of integrated security arrangements for the Middle East and other assistance to help safeguard the independence of the countries in the area. We pledge continued assistance to Israel so that she may fulfill her humanitarian mission of providing shelter and sanctuary for her homeless Jewish refugees while strengthening her economic' development. We will continue to support the tripartite declaration of May 1950, to encourage Israel and the Arab States to settle their differences by direct negotiation, to mainain and protect the sanctity of the Holy Places and to permi free access to them. We pledge aid to the Arab States to enable them to develop their economic resources and raise the living standards of their people. We support measures for the relief and reintegration of the Palestine refugees, ‘and we pledge continued assistance to the reintegration program voted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in January 1952. South Asia: A Testing Ground for Democracy. In the subcontinent of South Asia, we pledge continuing support for the great new countries of India and Pakistan in their efforts to create a better life foi their people and build strong democratic governments to stand as bastions of liberty in Asia, secure against the threat of communist subverion. Collective Security in the Pacific. We welcome free Japan as a neighbor and an ally in seeking security and progress for the whole Pacific area. America’s security pacts with Japan and with the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand are indispensable steps toward comprehensive mutual security arrangements in that area. Our military and economic assistance to the Nationalistic Government of China and Formosa has strengthened that vital outpost of the free world, and will be continued. Strengthening the’ Americas. In the West em Hemisphere, we pledgb ourselves to continue the policy of the good neighbor. We will strive constantly to strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation with our Latin American allies who are joined with us in the defense of the Americas. Disarmament Remains the Goal. The free world is rearming to secure the peace. Under Democratic leadership, America always stands prepared to join in a workable system for foolproof inspection and limitation of all armaments, including atomic weapons. This nation has taken the leadership in proposing concrete, practical plans for such a system. We are determined to carry on the effort for a real, effective disarmament. We look forward to the day when a great share of the resourses no<w devoted to the armaments program can be diverted into the channels of peaceful production to speed the progress of America and of the underdeveloped regions of the world. Helping Other People to Help Themselves. Even though we cannot now disarm, we go forward as rapidly as possible in developing the imaginative and farsighted concept of President Truman embodied in the Point IV program. We will continue to encourage use of American skills and capital in helping the people of underdeveloped lands to combat disease, raise living standards, improve land tenure and develop industry and trade. The continuance of even stronger and more vigorous Point IV programs — sponsored' both by this country and by the United Nations — is an indispensable element in creating a peaceful (world. Upholding the Principle of Self* Determination. In an era when the “Satellite State'’ symbolizes -both the tyranny of the aggressor nations and the extinction of liberty in small nations, the Democratic Party reasserts and reaffirms the Wilsonian principle of the right of national self-determination. It is of the policy of the Democratic Party, therefore, to encourage and assist smalt nation and all peoples in the peaceful and orderly achievement of their legitimate aspirations toward political, ‘geographical and ethnic integrity so that they may dwell in the family of sovereign nations with freedom ahd dignity. Expanding World Trade. The Democratic Party has always stood for expanding trade among free nations. We reassert that stand today. We vigorously oppose any restrictive policies which would weaken the highly successful reciprocal trade program fathered by Cordell Hull. Since 1934 the United States has taken the lead in fostering the expansion and liberalization of world trade. 4 Our own economy requires expanded export markets for our manufactured and , a g r i cultural products and a greater supply of essential imported raw materials. At the same time, our friends throughout the Iworld will have opportunity to earn their own way to higher living standards with lessened dependence on our aid. Progressive Immigration Policies. Solution of the problem of refugees from Communism and over-population has become a permanent part of the foreign policy program of the Democratic Party. We pledge continued co-operation with other free nations to solve itWe pledge continued aid to refugees from Communism and the enactment of President Truman’s proposals for legislation in this field. In this way we can give hope and courage to the victims of Soviet brutality and can carry on the humanitarian tradition of the Displaced Persons Act. subversive elements must be screened out and prevented from entering our land, but the gates must be left open for practical numbers of desirable persons from abroad whose immigration to this country provides an invigorating infusion into the stream of Americon life, as well as a significant contribution to the solution of the /world refugee and over-population problems. We pledge continuing revision of our immigration and naturalization laiws to do away with any unjust and unfair practices against national groups which have contributed some of our best citizens. We will eliminate distinction between native born and naturalized ' cjtiz«ns. We want no “secondclass citizens in free America.

the people. . The Democratic Administration has had a guiding principle since taking office 20 years ago: that the prosperity and growth of this nation are indivisible. Every step we have taken to help the farmers has also helped the workers and business. Every improvement in • the statue of the worker has helped both iarmers and business. Every expansion of business has provided more jobs for workers and greater demand for farm products. A Stabilised Economy Combatting Inflation. The Democratic Administration early recognized that defense production would limit the amount of goods in civilian markets and subject our economy to heavy inflationary pressure. To prevent this from resulting in ruinous inflation, the Administration proposed pay-aswe-go taxation to keep the 'National debt as low as possible and to prevent excess money pressure on scarce goods and services. Direct controls were also proposed to channel scarce materials into highly essential defense production and to keep prices down. In 1951 and 1952 Republican Congressmen demonstrated their attitude toiward these necessary measures when they sponsored amendments which would have destroyed all controls. Price*. We shall strive to redress the injury done to the American people — especially to white-collar workers and fixed-income families —by the weakening amendments which the Republicans in Congress have forced into our anti-inflation laws. We pledge continuance of workable controls^ so long as the emergency requires them. We pledge fair and impartial enforcement of controls and their, removal as quickly as economic conditions allow. Rent*. We strongly urge con' tinued Federal rent controls in critical defense areas and in the jnany other localities still suffering from a substantial shortage of ade_ quate housing at reasonable prices. Full Employment.The Democratic Administration prudently passed the Employment Act of 1946, declaring it to be a national policy never again to permit large-scale unemployment to stalk the land. We will assure the transition from defense production to peace-time production without the ravages of unemployment. We pledge ourselves at all times to the maintenance of maximum employment, production and purchasing pdwer in the American economy. Integrity In Government Finances. We solemnly pledge the preservation of the financial strength of the Government. We have demonstrated our ability to maintain and enhance the Nation's financial strength. In the six full fiscal years since V-J Day, our fiscal policy has produced a $4 billion budget surplus. We have reduced the public debt $17 billion from the post war peak. We have demonstrated our ability to make fiscal policy contribute in a positive way to economic growth and the -maintenance of high-level employment. The policies which have been followed have given us the greatest prosperity in Our history. Sustained economic expansion has provided the funds necessary to finance our defense and has still left our people with record high consumer incomes and business with a record volume of investment. Employment and personal incomes are at record levels. Never have Americans enjoyed a higher standard of living and saved more for contingencies and old a?e! Federal Taxes. We 'believe in fair and equitable taxation. We oppose a Federal general sales tax. We adhere to the principle of ability to pay. We have enacted an emergency excess profits tax to prevent ■profiteering from the defense program and have vigorously attacked special tax privileges. Tix Redactions. In the future, as in the past, we will hold firm to policies consistent with sound financing and continuing economic progress. As rapidly as defense requirements permit, we favor reducing taxes, especially for people with lotwer incomes. But we will not imperil our Nation’s security by making reckless promises to "reduce taxes. We deplore irrespon sible assertions that national security can be achieved without paying for it. ' Closing Tax Loopholes. Justice requires the elimination of tax loopholes which favor special groups. We pledge continued efforts to the elimination of remaining loopholes. Government Expenditure. We believe in keeping Government expenditures to the lowest practicable level. The great bulk of our natioqpl budget consists of obligations incurred for defense purposes. We pledge ourselves to a vigilant review of our expenditures in order to reduce them as much as possible. THE AMERICAN FARMER AND AGRICULTURE We know that national prosperity depends upon a vigorous, productive and expanding agriculture. We take great pride in our Party’s record of performance and in the impressive gains made by American agriculture in the last two decades. Under programs of Democratic Administrations the net agricultural income has increased from less than two billion dollars to almost fifteen billion dollars. These programs must be continued and improved. Kesource Conservation. Th€ soil resources of our country have been conserved and strengthened through the Soil Conservation Service* the Agricultural Conservation Program, the Forestry and the Research programs, with their incentives to increase production through sound conservation farming. These programs have revolutionized American agriculture and must be continued and expanded. We will accelerate programs of upstream flood prevention, watershed protection, and soil, forest and water conservation in all parts of the country. These conservation measures are a national necessity; they are invaluable to our farmers, and add greatly to the welfare of all Americans and of generations yet unborn. ' Grass Roots Administration. We will continue the widest possible farmer participation through referenda, farmer-elected committees, local soil conservation districts, and self-governing agencies in the conduct and administration of these truly democratic programs, initiated and developed under Democratic administrations. Price Supports. Under the present farm program, our farmers have performed magnificently and have achieved unprecedented production. We applaud the recent Congressional action in setting aside the “sliding scale” for price support through 1954, and we will continue to protect the producers of basic agricultural commodities under the terms of a mandatory price support program at not less than ninety percent of parity. We continue to advocate practical methods for extending price supports to other storables and to the producers of perishable commodities, which account, for threefourths of all farm income. Abundant Production. We will continue to assist farmers in providing abundant and stable supplies of agricultural commodities for the consumers at reasonable prices, and in assuring the farmer the opportunity to earn e fair return commensurate with that enjoyed by other segments of the American economy. ^ The agricultural adjust ment programs encourage the production of abundant supplies while enabling producers to keep supply in line with consumer demand, preventing wide fluctuations and bringing stability to the agricultural income of the nation. We pledge continued efforts to provide adequate storage facilities for grain and other farm products, (with sufficient capacity for needed reserves for defense, 'and other emergency requirements, in order to protect the integrity of farm price support programs. Research. We are justly proud of the outstanding achievements of our agricultural research. We favor a greatly expanded research and education program for American agriculture in order that both production and distribution may more effectively serve consumers and producers alike, and thus meet the needs of the modern world. We favor especial emphasis on the de velopment of new crops and varieties, on crop and livestock disease and pest control, and on agricultural statistics and marketing services. Marketing. We must find profitable markets for the products of our farms, and we should produce all that these markets will absorb. To this end we will continue our efforts to reduce trade barriers, both at home and abroad, to provide better marketing and inspection facilities, and to find new uses and outlets for our foods and fibers both in domestic and foreign markets. Farm Credit. We have provided credit facilities for all agriculture, including means by which young men, veterans of military service, and farm tenants have been encouraged to become farmers and farm home-owners, and through which low-income farmers have been assisted in establishing selfsustaining and fully productive farm unit. We will not iwaver in our efforts to provide such incentives. Crop Insurance. Crop insurance to protect farmers against loss from destruction of their crops by natural cause has been created and developed under Democratic Administrations into a sound business operation. This program should be expanded as rapidly as experience justifies, in order that its benefits may be made available to every farmer. .‘. •'' Rural Electrification. Democratic Administrations have established the great Rural Electrification Program, which has brought light and power to the rural homes of our Nation. In 1935,,only 10 per cent of the farm homes in America had the benefits of electricity. Today, 85 per cent of our rural homes enjoy the benefits of electric light and power. We will continue to fight to make electricity available to all rural homes, with adequate facilities for the generation and transmission of power. Through the Rural Telephone Program, inaugurated by the Democratic 81st. Congress, we will provide the opportunity for every farm home to have this modern essential service. We pledge support of these sejf-liquidating farm programs. Cooperative*. We will continue to support the sound development and growth of bonafide farm cooperatives and to protect them from punitive taxation. Defense Needs. We will continue to recognize agriculture as an essential defense industry, and to assist in providing all the necessary tools, machinery, fertilizer, and manpower needed by farmers in meetihg production goals. Family Farming. The family farm is the keystone of American agriculture. We will strive unceasingly to make the farm homes of our country healthier and happier places in which to live. We must see that our youth continues to find attractive opportunity in the field of agriculture. The Republican Party Platform is loud in its criticism of our great farm programs. We challenge Republicans and other enemies of farm progress to justify their opposition to the program now in operation, or to advocate repeal of a single vital part of our program. A FAIR DEAL FOR WORKERS Good Incomes. There can be no national prosperity unless our working men and women continue to prosper and enjoy rising living standards. The rising productivity of American workers is a key to our unparalleled industrial progress. Good incomes for our workers are the secret of our great and growing consumer markets. Labor-Management Relations. Good labor-management relations are essehtial to good incomes for wage earners and rising output from factories. We believe that to the widest possible extent consistent with the public interest, management and labor should determine wage rates and conditions of employment through free collective bargaining. Taft-Hart ley Act. We strongly advocate the repeal of the TaftHartley Act. The Taft-Hartley Act has been proved to be inadequate, uniworkable, and unfair. It interferes in an arbitrary manner with collective bargaining, tipping the scales y • in favor of managment against labor. The Taft-Hartley Act has revived the injunction as a weapon against labor in industrial relations. The Act has arbitrarily forbidden traditional hiring practices which are desired by both management and labor in many industries. The Act has forced workers to act as strikebreakers against their fellow unionists. The Act has served to interfere with one of the most fundamental rights of American workers—the right to organize in unions of their own choosing. We deplore the fact that the Taft-Hartley Act provides an inadequate and unfair means of meeting with national emergency situations. We advocate legislation that will enable the President to deal fairly and effectively with cases where a breakdown in collective bargaining seriously threatens the national safety or welfare. In keeping with progress of the times, and based on past experience, a new legislative approach toward the entire labor-management problem should be explored. rair Labor Standards. We pledge to continue oursefforts so that government programs designed to establish improved fair labor standards shall prove a means of assuring minimum wages, hours, and protection to workers consistent with present-day progress. Equal Pay for Equal Work. We believe in equal pay for equal work, regardless *«f sex, and we urge legislation to make that principle effective. The Physically Handle apped. We promise to further the program to afford employment opportunities both in government and -in private industry for physically handicapped persons. Migratory Workers. We advocate prompt improvement of employment conditions of migratory workers and increased protection of their safety and health. STRENGTHENING FREE ENTERPRISE The free enterprise system has flourished and prospered in America during these last twenty years as never before. This has been made possible by the purchasing potwer of all our people, and we are determined that the broad base of our prosperity shall be maintained. Small and Independent Business. Small afrd~independent business is the backbone of American free enterprise. Upon its health depends the growth of the economic system whose competitive spirit has built this nation’s industrial strength and provided its workers and consumers with an incomparably high standard of living. Independent business is the best offset to monopoly practices. The Government’s role is to insure that independent business receives equally fair treatment with its competitors. congress nas estaDiisnea tne permanent Small Business Committee of the Senate and the Special Small Business Committee of the House, which have continued to render great service to this im: portant segment of our economy. We favor continuance of both these committees, with all the powers to investigate and report conditions, correct discriminations, and propose needed legislation. We pledge ourselves to increased efforts to assure that small business be given equal opportunity to participate in government contracts, and that a suitable proportion of the dollar volume of defense contracts be channeled into independent small business. The Small Defense Plants Administration, which our Party caused to be established, should reta n it3 independent status and be made a continuing agency, equipped with sufficient lending powers to assist qualified small business in securing defense contracts. We urge the enactment of such laws as (will provide favorable incentives to the establishment and survival of independent businesses, especially in the provision of tax incentives and access to equity or risk capital. Enforcement of Anti-Trust Lew. Free competitive enterprise must remain free and competitive if the productive forces of this nation are to remain strong. We are alarmed over the increasing concentration of economic power in the hands of a few. We reaffirm our belief in the necessity of vigorous enforcement ^.e ^aws against trusts, combinations, and restraints of trade, which laws are vital to the safeguarding of the public interest and of small competitive business men against predatory monopolies. We will seek adequate appropriations for- the Department of J ustiee and the Federal Trade Commission for vigorous investigation und for enforcement of the anti trust laws. We support the right of any persons to work together in cooperatives and other democratic associations for the purpose of carrying out any proper business operations free from any arbitrary and discriminatory restrictions. Protection of Investors and Consumers. We must &• oid unnecessary business controls. But we cannot close our eyes to the special problems which require Government surveillance. The Government must continue Its efforts to stop unfair selling practices iwhich deceive investors, and unfair trade practices which deceive ^nnsunierct Transportation. In the furtherance of national defense arJ commerce, we pledge continued Government support, on a sound financial basis, fog further development of the Nation’s transportation systems—land, sea and air. We endorse a policy of fostering the safest and most reliable air transportation system of the world. We favor fair, non-dberiminatory freight rates to encourage economic growth in all parts of the country. Highways. In cooperation with State and local governmental units, we will ’continue to plan, co-ordinate, finance, and encourage the expansion of our road and highway network, including access roads, for the dual purposes of national defense and ellbient motor transportation. We support expansion of farm-to-market roads. Rivers and Harbors. We pledge continued development of our harbors and waterways. Merchant Marine. We iwill continue to encourage and support an adequate Merchant Marine. OUR NATURAL RESOURCES The United States has been blessed with the richest natural resources of any nation on earth. Yet, unless we redouble conservation efforts we will become a “have-not” nation in some of the most important raw materials upon, which depend our industries, agriculture, employment and high standard of living. This can be prevented by a well-rounded and nation-wide conservation effort. Land and Water Resources. Wo favor sound, progressive development of the nation’s land and water resources for flood control, navigation, irrigation, power, soil conservation, drainage and ere- ' ation of new, small family-sized farms, with immediate action in critical areas. ▼▼ c ictvui wie acceieraugn oi ail such projects, including construction of transmission facilities to load centers for wider and more equitable distribution of electric energy at the lowest cost to the consumer with continuing vpreference to public agencies and REA Cooperatives, The Democratic Party denounces alt obstructionist devices designed to prevent or retard utilization of the nation’s power and water resource for the benefit of the people, their enterprises and interests. The wise policy of the Democratic Party in encouraging multipurpose projects throughout the country is responsible for America’s productive superiority over any nation in the world and is ohe of the greatest single factors leading toward the accomplishment of world peace. Without these projects our atomic weapons program could never have been achieved, and without additional such projects it cannot be expanded.. The Democratic Party is dedicated to a continuation of the natural resources development policy inaugurated and carried out under the administrations of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman, and to the extension of that1 policy to all parts of the nation, North, South, East, Mid-West, West and the territories to the eiid that the nation'* (Continued on Pag# 14) . . I ISHiW •' -

aim its people receive maximum benefits from these resources to which they have an inherent right. T iie Democratic Party further pieces itself to protect these resources from destructive monopoly and exportation. River Basin Development. We plo^tre +b*> continued full and unified regional development of the wat'*r, mineral, and other natural resources of the Nation, recognizing that the progress already achieved under the initiative of the Democratic Party in the arid and semi-arid States of the West, as <well as in the Tennessee Valley, is only an indication of still greater results which can be accomplished. i 'I Fertilizer Development. Great farming areas, particularly of the ' Mid-West and West, are in acute need of low-cost commercial fertilizers. To meet this demand, we favor the opening of the nation’s pho?phate rock depisits in the West, through prompt provision of sufficient low-cost hydro-electric power to develop this great resource. rorests and rubric Land*, we seek to establish and demonstrate such successful policies of forest and lard management on Federal property as will materially assist state and private owners in their conservation efforts. Conservation of forest and range lands is vital to the strength and welfare of the Nation. Our forest and range land3 must be protected and used wisely in order to produce a continuing supply of *basic raw materials for industry; to reduce damaging floods; and to preserve the sources of priceless water. With adequate appioperation to carry out feasible projects, we pledge a program of forest protection, reforestation projects and sound practices of production and harvesting which wii promote sustained yields of forest crops. We propose to increase forest access road in order to improve catling practices on both public and private lands. On the public land ranges we pledge continuance of effective conservation and use programs, including the extension of water pond construction and restoration of forage cov er. Arid Areas. In many areas of the Nation assistance is needed to provide water for irrigation, domestic and industrial purposes. We pledge that in working out programs for rational distribution of water from Federal sources we will aid iu delivering this essential of life cheaply and abundantly. Minerals and Fuels. The Nation’s minerals and fuels are essential to the national defense and development of our country. We pledge the adoption of policies which will further encourage the •exploration and development of additional reserves of our Mineral .Resources. We subscribe to the principles of the Stockpiling Act .and will lend our efforts to strengthening and expanding its provisions and those of the Defense Production Act to meet our military and civilian needs. Additional access roads should be constructed with Government aid. Our synthetic fuels, including mon* etary metals, research program should go fonward. Laws to aid and assist these objectives will be advocated. ——U-— - Domestic Fisheries, We favor increased research and exploration for conserving and better utilizing fishery resources; expanded research and education to promote new fishery products and uses and new markets; promotion of world trade in fish products; a public works and water policy providing adequate protection for domestic fishery resources; and treaties with other nations for conservation and better utilization of international fisheries. Wildlife, Recreation. In our highly complex civilization, outdoor recreation has become essential to the health and happiness of our people. The Democratic Party has devoted its efforts to the preservation, restoration and increase of * the bird, animal and fish life which abound in this Nation. State, local and private agencies have cooperated in this worthy endeavor. We have extended and vastly improved the parks, forests, beaches, streams, preserves and wilderness areas across the land. To the 28,000,000 of our citizens who annually purchase fishing and hunting licenses, we pledge continued efforts to improve all recreational areas. ATOMIC ENERGY In the field of atomic energy, iwe pledge ourselves: (1) To maintain vigorous and non-partisan civilian administrations, with adequate security safeguards ; (2) To promote the development of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in the interests of America and mankind; (3) To build all the atomic and hydrogen firepower needed to defend our country, deter aggression, and promote world peace; (4) To exert every effort to bring about bona-fide international control and inspection of all atomic weapons. SOCIAL SECURITY Our national system of social security, conceived and developed by the Democratic Party, needs to be extended and improved. Old Age and Survivors Insurance. We favor further strengthening of old age and survivors insurance, through such improvements as increasing benefits, extending them to more people and lowering the retirement age for women. We favor the complete elimination of the work clause for the reason that those contributing to the Social Security program should be permitted to draw benefits upon reaching the age of eligibility and still continue to work. Unemployment Insurance. We favor a stronger system of unemployment insurance, with broader coverage and substantially increased benefits including an allowance for dependents. Public Assistance. We favor further improvements in public assistance programs for the blind, the disabled, the aged and children in order to help our less fortunate citizens meet the needs of daily living. Private Plans. We favor and encourage the private endeavors of social agencies, mutual associations, insurance companies, indus try-labor groups, and cooperative societies to provide against the basic hazards of life through mutually agreed upon benefit plans designed to complement our present Social Security program. Needs of Our Aging Citizens. Our older citizens constitute an immense reservoir of skilled, mature judgment and ripened experience. We pledge ourselves to give full recognition to the rights of our older citizens to lead a proud, productive and independent life throughout their years. In addition to tjie fundamental improvements in Old Age and Survivors Insurance, which are outlined above, iwe pledge ourselves in cooperation with the States and private industry to encourage the employment of older workers. We commend the 82nd Congress for eliminating the age restriction on employment in the Federal Government. neaun, vv e wax continue to work for better health for every American, especially our children. We pledge continued and wholehearted support for the campaign that modern medicine is waging against mental illness, cancer, heart disease and other diseases. Recarch. We favor continued and vigorous support, from private and public 'sources, of research into the causes, prevention and cure of disease. Medical Education. We advocate Federal aid for medical education to help overcome the growing shortages of doctors, nurses, and other trained health personnel. Hospitals and Health Centers. We pledge continued support for Federal aid to hospital construction. We pledge increased Federal aid to promote public health through preventive progams and health services, especially in rural areas. Cost of Medical Care. We also advocate a resolute attack on the heavy financial hazard of serious illness. We recognize that the costs of modern medical care have grown to be prohibitive for many millions of people. We commend President Truman for establishing the non-partisan Commission on the Health Needs of the Nation to seek an acceptable solution of this urgent problem. Housing. We pledge ourselves to the fulfillment of the programs of private housing, public low-rent housing, slum clearance, urban redevelopment, faVm housing and housing research as authorized by the Housing Act of 1949. We deplore the efforts of special interests groups, which themselves have prospered through government guarantees of housing mortgages, to destroy those programs adopted to assist families of low income. Additional Legislation. We pledge ourselves to enact additional legislation to promote housing required for defense workers, middle income families, aged persons and migratory farm laborers. Veterans' Housing. We pledge ourselves to provide special housing aids to veterans and their families. EDUCATION Every American child, irrespective of color, .national origin, economic status or place of residence, should have every educational opportunity to develop his potentialities. Local, State and Federal gov eminent have shared responsibility to contribute appropriately to the pressing needs of our educational system. We urge that Federal contributions be made available to state and local units (which adhere to basic minimum standards. The Federal government should not dictate or control educational policy. We pledge immediate consideration for those school systems which need further legislation to provide Federal aid for new school construction, teachers’ salaries and school maintenance and repair. We urge the adoption by appropriate legislative action of the proposals advocated by the President’s Commission on Higher Education, including Federal scholarships. We will continue to encourage the further development of vocational training which helps people acquire skills and technical knowledge so essential to production techniques. Child Welfare. The future of America depends on adequate provision by Government for the needs of those of our children who cannot be cared for by their parents or private social agencies. _ Maternity, Child Health and Welfare Services. The established national policy of aiding states and localities, through the Children’s Bureau and other agencies, to insure needed maternity, child health and welfare services, should be maintained and extended. Especially important are the detection and treatment of physical defects and diseases which, if untreated, are reflected in adult life in draft rejections and as handicapped workers. The Nation as a whole should provide maternity and health care for the wives, babies and pre-school children of those who serve in our arafed forces. School Lunches. We twill enlarge the school lunch program which has done so much for millions of American school children and charitable institutions while at the same time benefiting producers. Day Care Facilities. Since several million mothers must now be away from their children during the day because they are engaged in defense work, facilitits for adequate day care of these children should be provided and adequately financed. * Children of Migratory Workers. The Nation, as a whole has a responsibility to support health, educational and welfare services for the children of agricultural migratory workers who are now almost entirely without such services while their parents are engaged in producing essential crops. Veterans. The Democratic Party is determined to advance the welfare of all the men and women who have seen service in the armed forces. We pledge ourselves to continue and improve our national program of benefits for veterans and their families, to provide the best possible medical care and hos pitalization for the disabled veteran, and to help provide every veteran an opportunity to be a productive and responsible citizen with an assured place in the civilian community. STRENGTHENING DEMOCRTIC GOVERNMENT Streamlining the Federal Government. The public welfare demands that our government be efficiently and economically operated and that it be reorganized to meet changing needs.^During the present Democratic Administration, more reorganization has been accomplished than by all its predecessors. We pledge our support to continuing reorganization wherever - improvements can be made. Only constant effort by the Executive, the Congress, and the public will enable our government to render the splendid service to which our citizens are entitled. Improving the Postal Service. We pledge a continuing increase in the services of the United States Postal Service. Through efficient handling of mail, improved working conditions for postal employees, and more frequent services, the Democratic Party promises its efforts to provide the greatest communication system in the ^ world for the American people. Strengthening the Civil Service. Good government requires a Civil Service high in quality and prestige. We deplore and condemn smear attacks upon the character and reputation of our Federal workers. We will continue our fight againBt partisan political efforts to discredit the Federal service and undermine American principles of justice and fair play. Under the President’s leadership, the Federal Civil Service has been extended to include a greater proportion of positions than ever before. He has promoted a record number of career appointees to top level policy positions. We will continue to be guided by these enlightened policies, and we iwill continue our efforts to provide Federal service with adequate pay, sound retirement provisions, good working conditions, and an opportunity for advancement. We will usfe every proper means to eliminate pressure by private interests seeking undeserved favors from the Government. We advocate the strongest penalties against those who try to exert improper influence, and against any who may yield to it. Democracy in Federal Elections. We advocate new legislation to provide effective regulation and full disclosure pf campaign expenditures in elections to Federal office, including political advertising from any source. We recommend that Congress provide for a non-partisan study jof possible improvements in the methods of nominating and electing Presidents and in laws relating to Presidents! succession. Special attention should be given to the problem of assuring the widest possible public participation in Presidential nominations. Strengthening Basic Freedoms. We will continue to press strongly for tworld-wide freedom in the gathering and dissemination of news and for support to the work of the United Nations Commission on Human Bights in furthering this and other freedoms. equal Rights Amendment. We recommend and endorse for submission to the Congress a constitutional amendment providing equal rights for women. Puerto Rico. Under Democratic Party leadership a new status has been developed for Puerto Rico. This new status is based on mutual consent and common devotion to the United States, formalized in a new Puerto Rican Constitution. We welcome the dignity of the new Puerto Rican Commonwealth and pledge our support of the Commonwealth, its continued development and growth. Alaska and Hawaii. By virtue of their strategic geographical locations, Alaska and Hawaii are Vital bastions in the Pacific. These two territories have contributed greatly to the welfare and economic development of our country and have become integrated into oqr economic and social life. We therefore urge immediate statehood for these two territories. Other Territories and Posses* •ions. We favor increased selfgovernment for the Virgin Islands and other outlying territories and the Trust Territory of the Pacific. District of Columbia. We favor immediate home rule and ultimate national representation for the , District of Columbia. American Indians. We shall continue to use the powers of the Federal Government to advance the health, education and economic well-being of our American In-" dian citizens, without impairing their cultural traditions. We pledge our support to the cause of fair and equitable treatment in all matters essential to and desirable for their individual and tribal welfare. The American Indian should be completely integrated into the social, economic and political life of the Nation. To that end we shall move to secure the prompt final settlement of Indian claims and to remove restrictions on the rights of Indians individually and through their tribal councils to handle their own fiscal affairs. We favor the repeal of all acts or regulations that deny to Indians rights or privileges held by citizens generally. Constitutional Government The Democratic Party has demonstrated its belief in the Constitution as a charter of individual freedom and an effective instrument for human progress. Democratic Administrations have placed upon, the statute books during the last twenty years a multitude of measures which testify to our belief in the Jeffersonian principle of local control, even in general legislation involving nationwide programs. Selective Service, Social Security, Agricultural Adjustment, Law-Bent Housing, Hospital, and many other legislative programs have placed major responsibilities in states and counties and provide fine examples of how benefits can be extended through Federal-State cooperation. In the present world crisis with new requirements of Federal action for national security, and accompanying provision for public services and individual rights related to defense, constitutional principles must and will be closely followed. Our record and our clear commitments in this platform measure our strong faith in the ability of constitutional government to meet the needs, of our times. Improving Congressional Procedures. In order that the will of the American people may be expressed upon all legislative proposals, we urge that action be taken at the beginning of the 83rd Congress to improve Congressional procedures so that majority rule prevails and decisions can be made after reasonable debate without being blocked by a minority in either. House. Civu Kights. The Democratic Party is committed to support and advance the individual rights and liberties of all Americans. Our country is founded on the proposition that all men are created eqpal. This means that all citizens are equal before the law and should enjoy equal political rights. They should have equal opa. portunities for education, for economic advancement, and for decent living conditions. We will continue our efforts to eradicate discrimination based'on race, religion dr national origin. We know this task requires action, not just in one section of the - Nation, but in all' sections. It requires the cooperative efforts of individual citizens and action by State and local governments. It also requires Federal action. The Federal Government must Jive up to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and must exercise the potwers vested in it* by the Constitution. > . We are proud of the progress that has been made in securing equality of treatment and opportunity in the Nation's armed forces and the Civil Service and all areas under Federal jurisdiction. The Department of Justice has taken an important part in successfully arguing in the courts for the ilimination of many illegal discriminations, including those involving rights to own and use real property, to engage in gainful oc(Continued ms Page If)
