Farm Plan

(B: Ovid Mu-tin) .WASi-IINGTON. March 12—(AP) —C°lI8I‘eII ml)‘ Rive the Brennan 513,?“ Plan a chInce—to defeat it-

There now is a. possibility the program will be given a may run despite ions refusal of both House of Representatives and Sen. Me t0 have anything to do with the administration‘; pet mealug-Q 1°!‘ hlndllns food surpluses. Now some of the critics are relaxing opposition to letting Agriculture Secretory Charles Brennan try out his scheme on one or two surplus woducts.

The reason: They think it will flap as well as take the political heat off the present price-support program which Brannon has been sledge-hammering as 3 failure,

Mounting surpluses of food pro- duced in the United States may bring about the change in tactics. The big heedech is I large sur- plus of potatoes, dried eggs. dried milk, butter and cheese-Ill per- ishable commodities which cannot be kept too long. Less pressing It the moment are the problems of grains, cotton, flaxseed and to- bacco.

The Agriculture Department has taken upwards of $275,000,000 worth of perishable products off the market fil an attempt to keep producer prices from dropping be- low support levels.

Secretary Brennan is telling the country that buying up. surplus perishable: is all wrong. He says it keeps supplies away from con- sumers, keeps their foods bills un- necessarily high and taxes them to pay for surpluses which they are unable to use.

Under the Brannon plan. the Government no' longer would buy up surplus periehables to hold up producer pi-ieee..InItsId it would allow the whole supply to move to market It whatever price it would bring. If average market prices were below the stfpport level, the Government would pny this former the difference from the treasury.

Brannon says his plari—unveiled nearly a year ngo—-would assure formers prosperity prices and give consumers cheaper food.

Paris, Subway And Bus Slrille, Ends

rams. March 12 — (AP) —'i'ixe Psi-is subway Ind "bus strike ended Saturday, flattening I part of the French strike wave which Com- munists hope to bring to I crest when the first United States arms Ild arrives.

The Communist-led Confedera- tion Generals du Travail ‘ordered its members back to work on the Paris lines after seeing that non- Oommunlst unions would not join thorn. t

The strike never wholly halted Paris transport in five days of its’- ing. The lines, owned by the city. gave their,32.000 employees I basic five-per-cent wage increase that amounted to at least 1,100 francs (about $3.30) I month for each The 0.0.1‘. had asked for I min- imum increase of 3.000 franc!-

Hoxvevor, thousands of workers, Communint and non-communist, still remain. away from their Jobs. Nearly 300.000 of France‘: 1.500.000 metal workers are idle. The no- tionalised gas and electric indust- ries remain crippled by I walkout oi many of their 100.000 employ’ us, one pressure is still low in many parts of Pu-is. soml slfblse is unoolleeted. Various dock work-. ors Ind miners lave joined in I clamor for concessions, mostly for more pay.

ParllamenT Still Has To‘

BRUSSELS. March 13—(Mondsy) --(AI-‘)—Exiled King Leopold III early Qdey won I plebiscite on the question of his return to Bel- glum’s throne. Complete official re- turns from all 30 districts Rove him approximately 57 per cent of the total vote:

The count was:

“Yes (for Leopold's return) 2.933.-

2

No (against his return) 2,151,881

Invalid ballots 151,477.

I-‘ercentege for return 57.683; percentage Igoinst 42.317.

The result in favor of Leopold is approximately two per cent larger than the percentage he had said he would hsve to get to consider ruling again over the Belgians.

The plebiscite, conducted yester- day, is only advisory. The results will serve merely to inform parlia- mentuof the people’: will. Parlia- ment itself will make the final decision on the King’; status.

Leopold ran ahead throughout the tabulation of ballots.

The 43-year-old King got the returns at his suburban Swiss chalet near Geneva, He had re- turned to the country of his exile after spending several weeks on the French Riviera. '-

Ths status of Leopold hes been a controversial subject ever since he overruled the advice of his ministers and surrendered un- conditionally to Hltler’s invading German troops May 28, 1940.

Speak, the Socialist former pre- mler, urged the King at the time of the German break-through to accompany the' Belgian cabinet to London and ‘carry on the flsht in exile there. Leopold refused.

The gap left by the surrender hastened the occupation of Bel- gium and the overwhelming oflhe Allied armies on the Western Front.
