GOP GETS COCKY Here's what happened regarding cotton and peanuts that makes the Republicans so cocky. The Cotton-Peanut Acreage Bill started out to be a good bill Some such legislation was neces- ary in order to rectify injustices in acreage, especially cotton. But when the bill got into the House Agriculture Committee, the steam- roller cotton lobby managed to increase cotton allotments by 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 acres. This |the Democratic Party.

The Dé- partment of Agriculture also op- posed any increase, said that cot- ton acreage should be 18 to 19 million acres. But a coalition, led by Dixiecrat Tom Abernathy of Mississippi, overruled them, fixed the acreage at 22 to 23 million. b | MERRY-GO-ROUND Mrs. Paul Douglas is the only Senator’s wife entitled to sit be- side her husband on the Senate floor. This is because she is a WHEAT WILL BE NEXT The Department of Agriculture argued that no more peanuts were necessary, but peanut acreage Was increased by 100,000 acres anyway. At this point, the wheat lobby also wanted to increase its acre- Cliff Hope age, but Congressman of Kansas, ranking Republican, agreed to put wheat in another bill. He made it plain, however, that the wheat farmers would ex- pect to get theirs too. . Meanwhile last year's wheat carryover was 307,000,000 bushels; the cotton carryover was 5,287,000 bales; the Commodity Credit Cor- poration, which handles these sur- pluses has exhausted its funds, has had to remove price supports on pork and will need an addition- al borrowing authority of two bil- lion dollars. Its total loss on price supports for the year ending June 30, 1949, was $254,762,000. All this was why Truman’s economic advisers urged him to veto the Cotton-Peanut Acreage Bill.

The hunt began in earnest yes- terday after the confirmation of eight new cases of typhoid brought the confirmed total to 12. All are in Spenard, fast-growing suburb south of Anchorage. Neither Anchorage nor any of its other congested suburban areas has reported any cases. Dr. Joseph Stickler, epidemiolo- gist for the Alaska Department of Health at Juneau, has ordered all public gatherings in Spenard can- called. He arrived here Friday to work on the outbreak. Stickler and medical staffs of the U.S. Air Force hospital and Provi- dence hospital also advised residents to boil water before using it, al- though all water tests made to date have been negative. Working with Stickler are local health officials, public health nurses and staffs of both hospitals. As they continued their attempts to trace the origin of the ailment, civiian and military personnel crowded doctors’ offices and dis- pensaries for immunization shots. Victims of the disease have been children living in the Spenard area south of Anchorage and one at Ft.
