Reaction Varies To Butter Support Drop Sharp Criticism fl Benson Is Voices, CHICAGO UP — Farm belt reaction to the lowering of butter price supports varied today among a sharp criticism, half-hearted approval and full agreement lowa's Democratic party chairman Jake Moore leveled the most stinging blows at secretary of agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, calling his action “an absolute reversal of the Eisenhower promises during the last campaign and strong evidence that farmers are going to be the first to feel the effects of the recession." Lyman McKee. president of the Wisconsin American Dairy Assn., said the cut was "a little lower than some of us had anticipated. “It means that the dairy farmer is going to have to accept individual responsibility for building sales rather than loading it onto the government," McKee said. Frank Stone, general manager of a large midwest diary cooperative said President Eisenhower “promised a gradual reduction — 6 per cent a year — instead of a sharp cut in price supports.” “it seems to the dairy farmers

that Benson should, therefore; lean tbward the President’s suggestion,” Stone said. The American Butter Institute said the reduction was a “step in the right direction" but thought the government should provide further reduction of prices by liquidating its huge butter stocks to the American consumer. The American Dairy Assn, denied aa statement of Benson that the ADA had recommended lowering price supports. A spokesman of the ADA said the organization is engaged purely in advertising, merchandising and research activities and has never taken a stand on prices. Curtis Hatch, president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation said “the sjash had to come sometime and maybe this year is as good a time as any.” Hatch said the cuts would undoubtedly have an effect on farmers "but the effect will be temporary.” “I feel that the dairy farmers will accept this without protest,” he said. The National Milk Producers Federation predicted the lower supports would drop milk producers "back Into depression era prices and coet them an estimated one billion dollars in income.” The musk ox of the far north is not really an ox at all, but a member of the sheep family.

Threatens To Hold 2,000 Indian Troops Threat Is Made By South Korea Marshal SEOUL. Korea, UP — South Korea's tough provost marshal threatened today to hold more than 2,000 Indian troops in Korea until India guarantees the future welfare of 76 Korea war prisoners who chose neutral asylum. Oen. Won Yong Duk, who delayed signing of a Korean armistice by releasing 27,000 anti-Com-munist North Korean prisoners last June, said the Indians would be detained until the guarantees were received. Won’s statement was released as the British troopship Captain Jobson sailed from Inchon with 580 turbaned Indian troops aboard. It was the third homeward shipment of Indians who had completed their mission as guards for unrepatriated Korean War prisoners. The Hobson's sailing reduced the number of Indian troops still In the neutral zone at Panmunjom to about 2,000. The next contingent of 1,200 officers and men is scheduled to leave Saturday. A test of the South Korean threat may come Friday when an advance group of the Saturday shipment will attempt to go to Inchon to arrange for the sailing. Won’s threat was addressed to Indian Lt. Oen. K. S. Thimayya, chairman of the neutral nations repatriation commission. An Indian spokesman said he considered the threat meaningless and added that “the United Nations command is responsible for the custodial forces, India.” The spokesman also recalled that South Korean President Syngman Rhee had agreed to permit the Indians to pass through South Korea on trains to Inchon. Rhee has attacked the Indians verbally as pro-Communist since it was first learned they would come to Korea to guard the unrepatriated prisoners. The 76 Koreans, who refused to be repatriated, sailed for India last week with the first contingent of Indian guards returning home from their four-month assignment at Panmunjom. Seventy four of the prisoners were anti-Communist North Koreans who said they did not want to be sent to South Korea. The other two were pro-Communists who chose asylum in Poland or Chechoslovakia. They will remain in India's custody until they can be resettled in neutral nations. Clergyman Held On Bad Check Charges Religious Stores Favorite Victims WHEATON, 111. Alexander G.
