Show Tuesday, February 21, 1950 POLITICS: WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS , Sound & Fury The sound and fury of the upcoming congressional elections was increasing in volume. If the Republicans could make it stick, they had found their issue: "Liberty against Socialism. ' the HOWEVER, ' ' it appeared GOP was running into the same old ' trouble inability to get along.

A reduction of the answer to fundamentals might explain that it came about only through the economic distress of the once proud and mighty empire. IT IS APPARENTLY assured that whatever the outcome, the Labor party faces Its severest test In today's election, ' Eden warned, in the first broadConservative speech in cast of the campaign, that the "United Nations is at its lowest ebb, the democracies are forced to pay dearly for armaments, and the nightmare of communism stalks, through Asia."

The idea was to support the price at an average of S3 cents a dozen on the farm. The governments policy was quaintly stated by one federal official who summed it up with: "The hens are laying their fool beads off." The farm price of 25 cents a dozen was about 75 per cent of parity, a level calculated to be equally fair to producers and consumers. Producers of dried eggs, the statement said, would continue to get about 95 cents a pound. Most of the eggs the government buys are dried. In the past two years it has accumulated about 73 million pounds of these eggs, most at a price of $1.26 a pound. Some are stored in a cool, cave near Atchinsos, Kansas. The rest are in warehouses in other sections of the country. THE QUESTION of what to do with them has become the major problem. The law permits the department of agriculture to give 'them away if they are kept out of commercial, competitive channels. This restricts them to welfare purposes and similar uses.
