Our Daily Bread Sliced Thin by The Editor
The Arkansas Gazette warns Missouri voters about a proposed 58 million old age pension amendment. It would slash public school funding, worsen the state deficit, and threaten representative government by enabling direct popular voting on major financial programs. The piece contrasts true pensions with state grants to the unearned, fearing loss of debate and sovereignty.

Radio Programs Threatened by Recording Ban
Washington reports Chairman James Lawrepre Fly testified before the Interstate Commerce subcommittee on a Petrillo ban that could dry up more than forty percent of U S radio programs. He cited questionnaires from 798 stations showing 76 percent of broadcast time is musical and 42.6 percent is recorded music. The impact would hit non network stations, many under 500 watts in small cities.

Higher Farm Parity Plan Not Favored in Washington
Washington Sept 18 a majority of the House Banking committee favored scrapping the higher farm price parity provision in the Steagall economic control bill. The move could end the effort to redefine parity to include all farm labor costs. Committee members planned revisions, with some favoring a new bill and others pushing for wage and salary controls. The Senate counterpart opposed changes in parity computation. Senator Bankhead warned the Senate banking committee may reject any change in the parity basis. The article notes broader postwar price and wage considerations amid Republican and Democratic debate.
