By WILLIE DESCH
Staff Writer
The subpoena issued by the
House Un-American Activities
Committee has been rejected by
former President Truman. Any
move to try to force him to tesr

at the present time.
In accounts appearing in sev

Truman said that he retained
White in his administration in co
operation with the FBI to prevent
" Communists from learning that
White was under surveillance.

'Story Speaks
A University instructor is under

fixed farm support price.
The Farm Bureau, at a recent
meeting in Gand Island, adopted
a resolution asking that a com
mittee be named to call on the
University Board of Regents and
"take any further action they
deem advisable."
The instructor. Dr. C. Clyde
Mitchell, chairman of the agri
cultural economics department,
told The Nebraskan Thursday, "I
only know what I read in the
newspapers. I have had no com
munication on this matter, and
probably won't have." - (
CONCERNING THE article, he
said, "I prefer to let the article
speak for itself, and I will be
glad to furnish the article to any
Student wishing to read it, as long
as the supply holds out."
He then said he had "no fur

A- member of the Board of
Regents, J. Leroy Welsh of
Omaha, said Wednesday, "Sev

about the writings and speeches
of this individual made over the

Two Free Trade Dangers
Enumerated In Seminar
Free trade, although essen
tially good, must be approached
with full realization of posible
dangers. This was the opinion
expressed by Richard Bourne,
associate professor of economy
and labor relations and Wallace
iciZ1
rficle
"During the 30's farm leaders
and Congress forged the realistic
laws that help agriculture main
tain its place -in our economy
an economy that is both free
and not free. Despite all the talk
about free enterprise, much of
the non-agriculture economy is
not free. For that reason, agri
culture demands and receives
help from the government so that
it can compete with industry and
labor.
"CERTAINLY NO one is seri
ously advocating that business
and industry abolish the subsi
dies hidden in trademarks, pat
ents, tariffs, labor union, trade
association, price fixing agree
ments or tax writeoffs."
His views on price supports in
cluded: "Crop loans and associated
production restriction have
placed farmers on more even
terms with America's industrial
economy . . . farmers like fixed
supports because they provide a
solid basis for planning.
"I'm not too concerned over1
charges that 'the inefficient are
rewarded or 'the farmer is regi
mented.' Farmers have con
cluded that one of the freedoms
they enjoy under production con
trols a good price is more valu
able than the supposed freedoms
they might have under an unsup
ported program."

Peterson, economics instructor,
in a Union seminar Wednesday.
Peterson said that the slogan
"Trade not Aid" developed by
the British and carried on by
the remaining European coun
tries was a vote getting device
and actually not practicable in
the immediate future.
BOURNE POINTED out two
problems that might be encoun
tered through free trade with
full employment. He said that
some industries vital to our se
curity might be destroyed by
competition and a foreign mo
nopoly on certain items of stra
tegic value is possible.
It was decided, during the
seminar that the best way to
solve the free trade problem
would be to remove restrictions
on outdated items and eliminate
the red tape which accompanies
trade conference with other
countries.
