Show STRINGFELLOW 9 2biuui&, But 9 okc&ux EXPLAINS POLICY Congressman Douglas R Stringfellow stood solid 'y be-hind the Eisenhower-Bensoforeign relations and farm programs, and lauded the accomplishments of the 83rd congress when he appeared before a 'Milford audience Tuesday evening on the Library park lawn. He also spoke in MinersvUle and Beaver. Refuting Democratic claims of G O P ineffectiveness. Con-- g r e s s man Stringfellow reviewed, joint by point, the program of the administration, omitting only the inability of the western congressional delegations to overcome the eastern manufacturing strength and provide some form of assistance to western miners. Major emphasis was p aced on foreign relations and the administration farm program. On the international scene. Stringfellow charged the regime with creand ating perpetuating, through appeasement, the .oss of China to the Communists and the resultant "mess In Asia," including Korea and Indo-Chin"While the diplomats stalled, vaccilated and appeased during the Korea stalemate," he said, "the blood of American youths stained the rugged hills and muddy rice paddies of Korea. And billions of American taxpayer dol.ars continued to be fed into a ballooning war machine to manufacture for the American laborers a fictitious prosperity. In spite of the difficult readjustment from wartime spending to a peacetime economy, the Eisenhower administration has . steadied the U S economy, increased employment in stable, creative production, and at the same time reduced taxes and halted the spiral of inflation." Stringfellow touched on the "rich man's tax bLl" passed by the congress just before adjournment, pointing out that al though it was not a "tax reduction bill" but the first tax revision in more than 70 years, the measure had brought major tax reductions to , every man and woman in America. Praising Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson as a "fearless man who stands and fights for his convictions" and who is building a sound farm program not only for today but for the future, the congressman pointed out that under rigid price supports, growers of one commodity were pitted against other growers in a battle for profit in commodity distribution. Under the Benson farm plan with flexible supports for basic commodities, he said, the fundamental law of supply and demand would influence farm prices and help cut the enormous surplusses for which the American taypayers have paid billions of dollars. He also emphasized complaints from cattlemen that they were being taxed to support corn prices, while their cattle prices were falling because "doctors, dentists, merchants, and everyone else was buying a few cows to go into the cattle business." Gordon Murdock, local chairman of the "Boosters for String fellow Club " conducted the meeting and Introduced local Republican candidates for office. The visitors were entertained at dinner at the Murdock home prior to the meeting. mv . ui-- IN MILFORD TALK I 1 s UK ONLY NEWSPAPER ni ill in i ! n By STEVE WILLIAMS Quite a bit of speculation over reasons for closing the South Milford area to dove shooting, with many of the local comments leaning toward the theory that it's because of past years' pheasant shooting by some dove hunters. Which brings up another matter closed areas during the pheasant hunt. "Posted" and '"No Trespassing" signs a'ways irk a hunter, epecially when they see the landowner hunting the posted area with a party of friends. But land owners who have had their homes and children sprayed with shot, their sfock injured or killed, or their fields of grain or seed tramped down, can tell a very convincing other side of the story." Our personal feeling, and the feeling of many other local sportsmen, is that better regulation and more restriction of numbers wou d help solve the differences. Instead of selling all the pheasant tags that are applied for, sometimes printing extras ;"ter the allotment is received from upstate, or even writing "permits" on scratch paper, why not survey the area, determine the number of hunters that can be handled without dangerous and unp easant overcrowding, then limit the number of pheasant permits and sell d them on a first-com- e or a public drawing first-serve- basis.
