P.) Pros pects of uniting the farmers of Amer ica behind a comprehensive farm j program are brighter now than they ; ever have been before, Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma said here today. 1 Here to attend the 25th anniver-: sary of the founding of Boystown, , Senator Thomas said all divergent groups are being rallied around a program to provide parity payments for agriculture. j The plan calls for setting of prices for farm products that will give the farmers an even break with industry and labor, he said. If the prices of these groups go up. or down, farm prices will follow. "At no time has all the groups been behind the AAA or any other plan. We think we will get the sup port of at. least the bigger agricul tural organizations. What the far mer has objected to mostly is regi mentation. Under the present plan he can plant as much as he likes," Thomas concluded. G-NASH5NG t ay v OS DM NASH American freedom Or else Japaneedom Of which are you fonder? Be a victory bonder!
