Farm Leaders Say Plan Is Understood Say Marshall Plan Is Well Understood Chicago, Dec. 18—(UP)—Farm leaders claimed today that “almost all farmers understand the objectives of the Marshall plan and the general idea behind it.” They disagreed emphatically with a poll, puTTTsh'ed by a farm magazine, which showed that 52 percent of the farmers never have heard of the plan and that 41 percent of those who have heard about it do not know what it is. Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation which is holding its 29th annual convention here, said that “a few farmers may not understand the minor details of the Marshall plan, but almost all of them understand its objectives.” The magazine, Successful Farm ing, which is published at Des Moines, Ta., said its poll was rep resentative of a cross-section of 6,000,000 farmers. Kirk Fox, editor ot the magazine, said the poll showed that only about one farmer in 20 has a specifically correct conception of the Marshall plan. In addition, be said, 23 percent of the farmers have a vague idea of what the plan intends to accomplish. Farm bureau leaders attending

the convention backed O’Neal in his contention that the poll was not truly indicative of the farmer’s knowledge. Ransom E. Aldrich, Michigan City, Miss., a member of the national executive board, said “some farmers in my state might not be able to give the details of the plan, but they all understand the broader aspects of it. Certainly I’d say that more than 48 per- ' cent of the people in Mississippi know about it.” James C. Green of Madison, Wis., said he could not imagine that only 48 percent of the farmers had heard about the plan. “1 think the farmer is better informed than other occupational groups.” he said. "Look what happened when price controls were removed. Farmers started marketing livestock in tremendous quantities almost at once. That shows the farmer knows what is going on.” o Disclose Details Os Lobaugh Crime Leaves No Doubt Os Sex Slayer's Guilt Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 18 —(UP) —Disclosing details of Ralph W. Lobaugh’s confession for the first 1 time, authorities said today that it left “no doubt” of his guilt in 'the : sex slayings of three Fort Wayne

il women. 5 Allen county prosecutor Alton ■ Bloom said that even the “most brilliant mind” could not have re--1 called three years after the killings - the facts Lobaugh’s confession rei vealed s The former Kokomo factory s worker, who surrendered six ) months ago and admitted the kill* r ings, has been sentenced to die - in the electric chair at the Indiana i state prison on Feb. 9. Bloom indicated he was making the confession public now because I Lobaugh’s last hope of escaping . the death penalty was gone. A petition for clemency filed by the condemned man’s attorney was turned down last Monday by Governor Gates. The Governor, however, said that Bloom and judge 1 William Schannen, who sentenced Lobaugh, could ask for his clemency if they wished. Release of the confession today indicated that neither Bloom nor the judge had any intention of asking for an extension of the execution date or a change in the sentence to life imprisonment. In his statement admitting the crimes, Lobaugh mentioned a pocket comb found with Mrs. Anna Kuzeff’s body on May 26, 1944, Bloom said. He also described irrigation pipes over which he dragged her body. Bloom also disclosed that a Soldier companion of Charles Dodson, had identified the condemned man from pictures as the person who dragged . Mrs. Dorothea Howard into an alley on March 6, 1945, the night she was ! killed.

order today, authorizing him to question Sennett about the unsolved slaying of an unidentified woman whose body was found in the woods near Cassian, Wis., last Sept. 14. Cassian is a small village about five miles north of Tomahawk, Wis. The woman had been strangled. Her body was found in a shallow grave near a cranberry marsh. Sennett is serving a life sentence in Waupun state prison for killing Carl Carlson, a University of Wisconsin student. He also had confessed that he helped murder Georgia Jean Weckler, eight-year-old farm girl, last May. Authorities still were searching the Wisconsin river at the town of Blue River, Wis., today for Georgia Jean’s body. Sennett said that he had a companion, whom he refused to name, tossed her body from a bridge. They kidnaped her for ransom on May 1 but changed their minds and killed her with sleeping pills and a shot from a pistol. Sennett refused to submit to questioning regarding the unsolved slaying at Cassian. Because he was under prison protection, a court order was necessary to allow officials to question him against his wish. — 0 Davies Real Estate Sale Nets $25,180 Real estate in the Davies estate, one-half mile west of Salem, was sold at auction yesterday afternoon.
