R. Mayfield Sr. Nebraska Farm Bureau Pres ident Charles Marshall said, "This (Brannan) philosophy fails to recognize that all of the food dollar spent by industri al workers doesn't g o to the pro ducer of food. The farmer's share of the food dollar is so small it could be reduced by 50 percent and allow 50 percent to come from subsidy, and the con sumer wuold still notice no dif ference in the price of com modities". He cited the example of a loaf of bread. Only one and one half cents of the value of a 17 cent loaf of bread is wheat. A three-dollar cotton shirt con tains only a few cents worth of cotton, a small part of the to tal cost of the shirt. The cot- mm new Duogram belt sleek SWANK craftsmamhips Duogram initials. And you'll ton could bp .donatpfl by flori culture and the consumer would scarcely note a change in price. "The only way to guarantee a drop In consumer prices." Marshall declared, "would be to regulate the miller, the process or, the transporter, the mer chant, and all of those people along the line from the farmer to the consumer. The subsidy philosophy of the Brannan plan thus becomes the opening wedge in regulation and regimentation of agriculture. Industry, and bus iness." "This philosophy cannot build a stronger America," the Ne braska Farm Bureau leader reasoned. "A people which seeks the security of government sub sidies and pensions, and de pends upon the government for the bulk of their decisions soon sacrifices the most precious of their rights and privileges-freedom. Such a philosophy ends in economic slavery and event ually in political slavery." Coleman O'Bryan To Offutt Field Stf. Sgt. Coleman J.
