Gabbard Hears Truman Address
At NPA Meeting in Washington
L. P. Gabbard, head of the Agricultural Economics and
Sociology, Department was in Washington, D. C., recently as
a member of the National Planning Association.
Association members were addressed by President Har
ry S. Truman, Secretary of Labor Maurice J. Tobin, Sec
retary of Agriculture Charles F. Brannan, EGA Director
Paul G. Hoffman, and Geoffrey*
Crowther, editor of the London i
Economist.
President Truman made an off-!
the-record talk to the group in
which he complimented the NPA
program and expressed his long'
time interest in planning to im
prove local and national govern
ment and to improve international
relations. Gabbard said the presi
dent was pleasant and chatty and
did not try to be profound.
Secretary of Labor Tobin, who
is sponsoring a bill to remove re
strictions on labor organizations,
emphasized the importance of col
lective bargaining before the NPA
group.
EGA Director Paul G. Hoffman
said real progress had been made
in the economy of Western Europe
and seemed optimistic about the
future. Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan indicated his willingness
to cooperate with planning groups
and told NPA members that the
main objective of the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture was to
bring about conditions that would
enable farmers to live as well as
non-farmers.
Gabbard said the cleverest talk
delivered at the meeting was
given by Geoffrey Crowther, edi
tor of the London Economist.
Crowther reviewed the national
ization movement in Great Brit
ain and pointed out that its de
velopment had not thus far
brought about the downfall pre
dicted by its opponents. Neither
has it been the panacea promis
ed by its most staunch advocates
he said.
Crowther did not feel that the
nationalization movement had yet
made a very great economic change
in Great Britain. He advocated
111 limiting government activities to
dealing with broad general con
trols such as currency, and not
concern itself with small details.
Gabbard is a member of the
Committee of the South, a sub
committee of NPA which is study
ing and promoting industrial de
velopment of the South for better
utilization of national and human
resources, fie has been a member
of the committee since it was es
tablished in 1946.
- ELECTIONS -
(Continued from Page 3)
called for a five man run off in
the races originally having six or
more entrants. For those positions
where less than six men entered
only two men will appear in the
run off. The next ballot will be
distributed as soon as an official
count can be made and the ballot
printed, officials said.
All offices seemed to require run
offs except that of Veteran’s vice
president, according to the official
tabulators.

state that the definition of reserve
books must be strictly enforced.

Ballance stated. If no answer to
the contrary is received the books
are returned to general circulation.
The library will place on reserve

course as approved in the college
curriculum, Ballance concluded.
