Wednesday Morning, June 9, THE PALM BEACH POST fage Three PREPARING TO RESIST INVASION FAR! EOF RAPS SUBSIDIES NEW YORK, June 8. (Harry T. Nuttle, of Denton, said Tuesday that farmers were opposed to subsidies because "we believe subsidies won't get full production." Nuttle told the opening session of the Annual Northeastern Farm Bureau Conference "Let prices go up somewhat. That will get production." Subsidies are dangerous, he said, because of "political ramifications." "The left wingers ars anxious to accomplish their wild-eyed schemes under the stress of the war emergency," Nuttle. who is chairman of the Northeastern Presidents' and Secretaries' Conference, said, Rural areas "are the last strongholds of real democracy," Nuttle told delegates from 11 Northeastern States, adding "we must fight the growing tendency of government to rule everything." Farmers "will produce to the limit even if our supplies are short and if we don't get the cost of production on some items," Nuttle said, adding that the nation would become accustomed to low farm prices after the war if subsidies were granted now.

Farmers are willing, he continued, to accept ceiling prices on farm products if effective ceilings are imposed on wages. The labor unions want higher wages but cheaper food, he said.

J. Melville Brough-ton of North Carolina, said Tuesday that unnecessary reductions in gasoline rations In the Midwest should not be insisted upon by the Eastern Seaboard "just for the sake of having companions in misery." Gov. Broughton, speaking at a Connecticut Slate Chamber of Commerce annual dinner, advocated nationwide rationing of the fuel. Said Gov. Broughton: "The 17 Eastern Seaboard States should not have to bear this burden for the rest of the country.

This is not a war of 17 States; it is a war of 48 States." Bowles said in a formal statement embodying an explanation of what he called "the facts," that the submarine peril cut the flood of petroleum products to the Eastern States from 1,300.000 barrels a day to 800,000 barrels a day, with the railroads bearing the burden. Formerly tankers augmented the supply. He forecast that by August 1 the flow of petroleum products to the East would exceed pre-war shipments owing to construction of pipelines but warned that because most of this would have to be shipped to our armed forces that the shortage would continue.

June 8. () Florida's new liquor curfew law-prohibits sale of liquor by the bottle on Sunday, but cities may permit bars to sell whisky by the drink on Sunday.

m. on weekdays and all day Sunday. Bars must be closed from midnight to 7 a. m. daily throughout the State and all day Sunday, unless cities by ordinance permit Sunday barroom sales.

When the war is over, the old State law will become effective again. It provided only that no liquor may be sold on Sunday outside city limits, and that cities could set all hours for liquor sales within their boundaries.
