lowa Supreme Court Upholds Conviction Death Sentence To Indianapolis Man Des Moines, la., July 30—(HP) —An Indianapolis man held little hope today for reprieve from a death sentence imposed for the 194 G slaying of an lowa reformatory guard during an escape attempt. The lowa supreme court upheld the conviction of Louis Hofer, 35. who was scheduled to be hanged Dec. 10, 1947. for beating to death guard John Ilins, 49. with a clawhammer, and using Hint's auto to escape. The court denied an appeal from the death sentence and ruled that a district judge at Cedar Rapids did not err In submitting to the jury the question of whether certain written confessions were voluntary. A jury of eight women and four men convicted Hofer on a charge of first degree murder. Hofer's companion, Charles Larson, was convicted on a charge of second degree murder and sentenced to serve 99 years In prison. Hofer was serving a 25-ycar sentence for robbery when he and tried to escape on June 12, 19411. They were captured two days later. 0

Farm Price Index Is Up Two Percent Prices Received By Farmers Rise Washington, July 80-(UP)— The agriculture department's Indor of farm prices rose to 278 on July 15. two percent above the mid June mark of 271. The new increase was the first since March and moved the index within 1.4 percent of the March peak index of 280. While prices received by farmers were rising, the parity price index prices paid by farmers- remained stationary at Its all-time peak of 231. As a result, farmers on July 15 were receiving 19 percent more than parity for their products on the average. Fann prices were 17 percaaL higher than parity during the previous perio.t In these indexes, 100 is the average for 1909-1914. Advances In the prices of most farm products more than offset sharp declines in the average price of fruits and truck crops. Corn prices rose spectacularly, after poor weather ravaged the crop. A 16 cent per bushel price increase from mid June boosted the average price received by farmers for corn in an all-time high of 12.01 per bushel. Meat animal prices rose 1.5 percent over mid-lune. The price of poultry products was up seven percent; cotton was up five percent and dairy products, up four percent. Truck crops declim'd an average of 16 percent and fruit prices dropped six percent. Continued increases in prices [mid by fanners for feed and food offset minor declines in prices of building materials and household supplies. The parity index demaincd constant and was 16 percent above July. 1946. The report showed that farmers were receiving below-parity prices for a few products, such as potatoes, eggs and wool. The government, If necessary, will support price* of most farm commodities at 90 percent of parity.
