Ag commissioner hopeful
stresses producer profits
By Frank Smith
City Editor
Sizing up the race for Texas agri-
: oe-
culture commissioner as a choice
tween leadership and showmanship,
challenger Bill Powers brought his
campaign to Texas A&M this week.
In an interview with The Battal
ion, Powers, R-Austin, attacked the
B olides of incumbent Democrat Jim
lightower.
While acknowledging Hightower
as “probably the most colorful and
quotable figure in Texas politics,”
Powers characterized the commis
sioner as an ambitious showman who
is lightly regarded in agricultural cir
cles.
“His No. 1 priority is headlines for
Hightower,” Powers said. “Mine is
profits for producers.”
Powers, A&M Class of ’64, has
served as executive vice president of
the Texas Poultry Federation since
1969. Prior to that he was an editor
of the Farm Bureau’s Texas Agricul
ture magazine.
He said Hightower broke prom
ises to lower consumer food bills and
stop farmers from going broke, and
that the commissioner’s "supply
management” farm program has
been rejected.
Powers criticized Hightower for
advocating mandatory production
controls.
“It takes away the incentive for
you to do better than me,” Powers
said.
He said the program has little leg
islative support because it’s one of
socialized agriculture.
"It’s the first step toward govern
ment telling you everything,” Pow
ers said. “It will put prices through
the ceiling and take us totally out of
the world market.”
Powers also spoke sharply of
Hightower’s refusal to cut me de
partment’s budget when Gov. Mark
White requested 13 percent cuts
from each state department in Feb
ruary.
He added that when the Legis
lature convened for its sm
sions, Hightower attemptrii]
$400,000 from the product:^
fund without first discujM
the people who pay into ihty
those in the produce indusm |
“They tried to sneak it tlj
Powers said." It just goestoiy
really doesn’t care about faun'
Powers said he has the ®
85 percent to 90 percentof
production agriculture
“But we also know atii
not a very big percentawof
ulation,” he said. “Those..,,
volved in agriculture aremotij
to be fooled by (Hightowijl
cal rhetoric.”
Bentsen campaigns
for Geren, proposes
tougher trade policy
By Mona Palmer
Assistant City Editor
Sen. Lloyd Bentsen stopped at
Easterwood Airport Thursday to
campaign for Democratic congres
sional candidate Pete Geren.
Bentsen said Geren, who’s oppos
ing incumbent 6th District Rep. Joe
Barton, is a fiscal conservative who
won’t be so rigid in his views that
he’ll have only one vote in the
House.
“Geren will not drive people off
with his ideologies,” Bentsen said,
“but persuade them with his reas
on.”
Bentsen also discussed the trade
deficit, which is expected to reach
$180 billion this year.
The Japanese have bought Amer
ican securities and that has pulled
the nation through, Bentsen said,
but that won’t solve the problem.
“We should be grateful that
they’re buying those securities,” he
said, “but we have to understand
that this is no Marshall Plan they
have in mind. They expect to be
paid back.
“What we want is a trade policy
and legislation that will break down
the barriers to our products — that
will let us sell our products abroad.”
Bentsen said American companies
are forced to compete with other na
tions as well as private businesses
since, in many countries, the na
tional government controls business.
Geren said he proposes a get-
tough trade policy that would pun
ish foreign countries that use subsi
dies and tariffs to obtain unfair ad
vantages in the international market.
“Those subsidies and tariffs are
costing the 6th District jobs,” he said,
“and that’s got to come to a screech
ing halt."
Jett Crosby, spokesman for Ge
ren, spoke of the closing of the In
ternational Shoe Plant, which he said
cost Bryan-College Station 250jobs.
The effect of me job losses ripples
through the economy, fie said. The
neighborhood store next to the fac
tory won’t do as well, anti the stores
at which the workers shop will fie ef
fected, he said.
