S. attorney Leo A- Rover and other government prosecutors asked- the court rto reverse the ruling of federal district judge Luther W. Youngdahl who dismissed four of the seven counts as unconstitutional. The prosecutors argued that Youngdahl made many errors of law in bis ruling. On other issues, they said, he improperly ruled on points that the jury—not the judge -t-would have to decide after hearing the evidence at the trial. - ‘ | Oral arguments on the plea probably will be held before the court sometime tils fall. A further delay in the start of Lattimore’s trial, now scheduled for Oi?t,6, appears inevitable. > ■ . Lattimore, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, was indicted last December on charges that he lied seven times in his 1952 testimony before the senate internal security subcommittee. Among the counts was a charge Lattimore lied when he said he was never a Communist sympathizer or a promoter of Communistn. Farm Travel Fanners are the largest single group of motor vehicles owners, with more than four million passenger cars in use on farms. In addition, farmers own 1,110,000 trucks and hire another half million to hpndla farm products and suppliea. Thirtyfour per cent of all trucks are used in agriculture. Most' of the farmer's driving is connected with his work, as 67 out of every 100 miles he drives goes for the purpose of "making a living.” Seventy-eight per cent of file farmer’s travel can be classed as “essential” i - J <■ It you have somstnmg to sen or rooms tor rent, try a Democrat Want Add.

Newsmen Disagree On Sen, McCarthy Disagree On Danger To Press Freedom WASHINGTON UP — Four prominent newspapermen;! disagreed Sunday night whether Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy R-Wis. lhas endangered freedom of the press. -j, The four discussed JUeCatthy’s activities as chairman of the .senate permanent investlgatiii|£ subcommittee on the Broadcasting Co. program, American forum of the air. They Were Benjamin :M. way, editor of the Washington Evening Star; James Kerney <jr., editor of the Trenton Times; John O’Donnell, columnist for the New York Daily New», and Eil Eqstrom, Washington correspondent |or the Louisville Courier-Journal. J . They disagreed on McCarthy’s questioning of Jams? f Wechsler, editor of the New York Post, during the senator’s investigation of the state overseas libraries. They also disagreed on a subsequent investigation of Wechsler’s appearance at the hearing by a committee of editors for the American society of newspaper editors. ; The newspapermen also discussed McCarthy’s attack; on J. Russell Wiggins, managing editor of the Washington Post, who as chairman of the ASNE jproup was one of. four editors who filed a minority and critical report on McCarthy. ! McKelway said he thought it “very natural’* that politician would jump on an editor when the had first jumped on the politician. . > . “I really don’t think there is any issue of press freedom involved in this episode,”! McKelway said. P j ; He added that he di<|; not think McCarthy “is big enough” to endanger American freeidonis: “It seems to me when editors think that he is big enoughs, that they show a surprising kick of confidence not only in theniselves but in the American peopls. “Futherhiore, I don’t ! think that Senator McCarthy wants to do anything to the press because the press is what has made him as big as he is.” “I think that as soon' as a senator. a politician, a public official, impinges on those who criticize him in a newspaper, hte U starting to 1 trample!,on freedom of the press, and he! should be cut off right then and there before it goes any further,” Kerney sa|d. ( O’Donnell said it was "absolute foolishness” to charge that freer dom of the press had been endangered In the “McCaithy-Wechs-ICr-Wiggins dispute.” - “If there Is any of intimidation, I; haven’t seen it,” O’Donnell said. Edstrom replied that It was McCarthy who got the and said he thought, the dispute did endanger freedom of the press. -, ■ ■ Fred Oakley Dies J After Heart Attack Fred Oakley, a former resident of near Decatur, died of a heart attack Friday while at york as a Surge at the state hospital at ichmond.

The young ruler said h|s country desperately needed foreign aid and would accept it from any .donor. ' ’ ; “We are willing to accept help from any country is willing to give it,” the shah sa|d. At the same time, thet shah said he would make no concessions to countries extending foreign aid. “The ehange in government will bring no change in the national movement started two years ago,” he Mid. “It will and most continue. There will be distribution of the crown preserves and the property of rich landowners." The shah's desire to parcel ont property of the landowners to the peasants was one of the factors which made Mossadegh, a big property owner, a political: enemy of the young ruler. ■

Dry Spell To Reduce Stale Corn Oulpul I Will Cost Farmers Millions Os Bushels INDIANAPOLIS, UP L- A 16day flry spell in Indiana corn growihg areas has cost farmers milliops of bushels in 1953 production, h crop expert said today. \j C. J. Murphy, assistant agricultural agent in Marion county and a of 26 years in his work, said lase-planted corn has been “seriously damaged.” There has been only one onehundredth of an inch of precipitation ih the Indianapolis area since Aug. 8 and the dry spell has been rather general throughout the state —even worse in the south portion.) ! - Murphy said as much as 33 per cent of the state corn crop may have been-rplanted after May 25, thus has been hurt. Earlier cofn was at such stage when the rains ended that it was not damaged seriously. Late-planted soybeans and pastures also have been damaged badly, Murphy said. |' !, few weeks ago, agricultural experts predicted a 251.000,000bushel corp crop in Indiana, second greatest on record. But they reckoned without the possibility of a drought. “I am inclined to believe we’ll have to revise our feelings and adjust downward*” Murphy said, adding the dry weather already has cost millions of bushels. Murphy said he has been up and down and across Indiana judging at fairs the last few weeks and 4 observed the crops from Worthington to Winamac and Terre Haufe to Richmond. "Some parts of the west look better than some parts of the south,” he said. Experts said the next department of agriculture estimate for Indiana Corn would doubtless be .lower and might keep the state from ranking'! third among the' states in production. <— 4; LATEST FREED <Co«tl»we< From Pwae Owe) years end they said he and all other men sentenced would have to serve out their full terms.” The United Nations has protested to the Communists on the matter of holding back prisoners, pointing to the section in the armistice agreement that all captives will be released.
