UP — Customers Invited to set their own prices were cheerfully overcharging themselves as much as 160 per cent today at two swanky down- . town restaurants. Restauranteur Paul Arsens was amaxed. He said he began the novel experiment to test the ‘basic honesty” of his customers. He thought he might lose Ms shirt “It turns out people are paying more for meals than wq would charge,” he said. \ - * ' He said one party of four had alterwooa tea worth >1.20 and paid 53-150 per eent more titan the regular price. People were cheerfully paying 25 cents for a cup of coffee, he said. “One man gave 50 cents when his had a bowl of porridge, and he gave 11.25 for eggs, toast and coffee,” Arsens said. "’Last week park sausages we.-e igoing for 90 cents. Today folks were giving 11.50 for the same meal.” Two steaks, each normally worth >1.75, drew >5 from one couple anJ one man left 8& cents for a bowl et soup and coffee worth 35 tents. Arsens said Ms business doubled Monday as customers >rdered, ate. estimated the value of the meal and then rang up their *wn bills at the cash registers and took their own change. Waitresses said, there were few customers giving less than >1 for their meals, when the normal price would be 30 or 90 cents. The bniy help given the custo- : mers was from a cashier wno ; showed patrons how to operate the leash register. Arsens sain lie would split the week's take with his employes as a Christmas bonus.

Benson Is Close To i Farmers'Problems L Benson Little Known Among Politicians. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, UP — Ezra Taft Benson will move into the office of secretary of agriculture with little experience as a politician, but with the benefit of more than two decades of association with the country's farm problems. j He was appointed Monday by President-elect Dwight D. Eisen?, hotter. i As executive secretary of the national council of farmer cooperatives from 1939 to 1944, Benson picked upan intimate knowledge of farm problems in all sections of the country. The job rounded out nine years as a member of the governing body of the Latter Day Saints Mormon church where he was in close contact with western agricultural problems. Friends describe the 53-year-old westerner as mild-mannered but dynamic. , One Utah farm leader said Benson “emphatically does not think the government should guarantee a profit to everyone, regardless' of efficiency . . . but he realizes that farmers cannot be set aside while the government guarantees minimum wages to labor and subsidies to mines and transportation! He feels the policy has to«be consistent and agriculture is justified in asking for its share.” Benson will be, the first member of the regular Mormon church to gain cabinet rank.' Charles Brannan. whom he succeeds as secretary, is a membier of reorganized Lptter-Day Skints Church. ‘ Although he was born and raised on a farm in southern Idaho. Benson is no stranger 'to the nation’s ' capital. After a long association I with western farm cooperatives, he gave up his farm in 1939 and wept to Washington to become executive' secretary of the national council of farmer cooperatives. In 1943 he resigned the farm post and returned to the west. Last August 'he was elected chairman of the board of trustees of the American institute of cooperation. an educational organization of farmer crioperativek. Benson had nevrir met Eisenhower until Monday, but he was recommended for the agriculture post by Sen. Robert A. Taft, whom he supported for 4he Republican presidential nomination In preconvention days last spring. His middle name is Taft, and there is a rather hazy relationship between the two. “a common ancestral progenitor about six generations back.”' Friends estimate he and Taft are about 32nd cousins. ' f v Benson said he did not seek the ' job as secretary or any other “political preferment” but expressed ! a “willingness t,o serve” although > it “comes to me as a great sur- • prise.” I —r u, ; . : Lutherans Plan Two Thanksgiving Rites Zion Lutheran church, West ■ Monroe street, invites the public to give thanks for personal and national blessings at services of Thanksgiving conducted Wednesday evening at 7 :30 ,or Thursday morning at 9 o’clock.
