Despite the drop in the support

The total amount paid directly to
farmers for 1948 potatoes up to
February 28 was reported at 81*8,-

WASHINGTON, April 22—(JP>—An
Increasing turnover in President Tru-
man’s official family set him off on a
search Friday for iron men wining to
work for the government at compara-
tively low pay. I '
That's the kind of * fellow a govern-

Mr. Truman told his news conference

The resignations of Secretary of the
Army Royall and Robert F. Ba ch er.
atomic energy commissioner, led the
president to expound again his theory
that it’s tougher to get good men to
take government jobs—and sometimes
tougher to keep them.

The president announced the ap-
pointment of David K. E- Bruce to be
ambassador to France, replacing Jef-
po ntment of David K. E- Bruce to be
ambassador to France, replacing Jef-

an undesignated job.
It was the second diplomatic shift in
as many days. Previously Admiral Alan

WASHINGTON, April 22—<>P>—
Some farms obtained an average of
more than »20,000 for surplus 1948
crop potatoes sold to the govern-
ment under its grower price-support
program.
This figure was disclosed Friday
by Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
in a report which said the total cost
of the 1948 support program for
this crop already has approached
8200 millions. And some of last
year's potatoes still remain to be
bought. The plus average of more
than $20,000 was reported for Rhode
Island farms.
Similar potato support programs
coat the government 890 millions in
1948 and *50 millions in 1947.
Brannan said about 28.444 com-.

merclal potato growers were eligible
to sen potatoes to the government
under tije program. Up to February
28. the government had paid an
average of *5.487 to such farms for
potatoes which could not be sold on
the market at the government-guar-
anteed price, j
The report showed that an aver-
age of *238 was paid to 63 potato
growers in Oklahoma.
The secretary said these figures
"show clearly some of the short-
comings of the present method” of
supporting prices. He said he be-
lieves a new farm plan he laid be-
fore congress April 7 would serve
farmers as well as the present one—
a« a fraction of the cost to the pub-
lic and without wasting potatoes.
Under the present method, the

measure of the cost of the program “
per farm would be gained by di- -
viding the total cost among the
370,000 farms which sell potatoes
rather than among the 28,000-odd
farms which sold potatoes to the
government. Such an average would
be about *543.

many members of congress have
long been deeply concerned about
the present methods of support op-
erations for potatoes. I also feel
sure they are not all satisfied that
a reduction in the support level
would provide a complete solution.”
The department was required to
support prices of the 1948 crop at
90 percent of parity. Congress

government buys from eligible pro-
ducers who are unable to obtain the
price-support rate in the market
place. This has the effect of hold-
ing market prices at or near the
support level.
Brannan has proposed the gov-
ernment stop buying potatoes and -
other crops and instead allow prices
to fall to levels determined by sup-
ply and demand. The* government
would assure growers of a fair re-
turn through a direct payment ar-
rangement.
The administration would use the
same plan to, guarantee certain
minimum returns to producers of
other perishable crops and products,
including meats, milk, dairy prod-
ucts, eggs, poultry, fruits and vege-
tables.

chief in France. Shortly after news of
Bruce’s new job was released, how-
ever. the economic co-operation ad-
ministration announced that he would
be succeeded by Barry Bingham. Louis-
ville publisher-editor.
The president had no announcement
to make on a successor for Royall in
the army department post. In an ex-
change of letters, Royall said he was
going back to civil life convinced the
army is in “excellent condition” and
• (hat war is not imminent.”
cold Water for Calder
The president’s statement that he
ha* no successor picked seemed to
. throw a bit of cold water on talk
about Curtis Calder. Bronxville. N. Y.
businessman, as a possible appointee.
Mr. Truman said the army depart-
ment can be run temporarily by one
of Roy• U s assistante. That was some-
thing of a blow to friends of Gordon
Ofay, assistant secretary, who hoped
he might have a chance tor Royall*

Mr. Truman took some obvious de-
light in stepping firmly on wumors
th*t Attorney General Tom Clark
might go Back to private law practice.
T<xn Clark is staying, the president
said in a tone indicating that that is
a load off his mind.
Endurance Fliers
Fight Last Hours
FULLERTON. Calif.. April 22—UP)
—The last 100 hours, record non-stop
fliers BiU Barris and Dick Riedel say,
are the hardest.
Fighting off fatigue, the co-pilot*
passed the 900-hour mark Friday and
discussed plans to shorten their shifts
at the controls in order to stay awake
until Tuesday morning.
That's their goal—1.008 hours at
11:44 a. m. Tuesday—but it’s stUl four
days away. They cracked the old rec-
ord of 726 hours last w«ek.
Barris and Riedel, to relieve the
monotony of the final days, plan to
fly to San Diego to appear at the gold
cup air races Sunday. But they in-
tend to wind up here right where they
started six weeks ago.
Meanwhile, at Yuma, Ariz., two
former combat fliers. Bud Woodhouse.
26. and Woodrow Jongward, took off
Thursday in an attempt to better the
Barris-Riedel venture. They plan to
fly at 9.000 feet over Yuma and will
be refueled via a ground-to-air system
similar to that used by the Fullerton
fliers. Like Barris and Riedel, they
are flying an Aeronca monoplane.
