Flexible Support Program Defended Program Tends To Guard Net Income DECATUR, 111., UP — Undersecretary of agriculture True D. Morse told fanners today that flexible price supporst would tend to guard their net income. He said housewives, at the same time, would benefit from, lower retail prices of farm produce. Morse spoke here Monday night for the proposals of the Eisenhower administration to replace the current high fixed farm price aupport program with flexible price supports. Morse's assistant, Theodore S. Gold, speaking Monday in Wisconsin, said the recent lowering of milk support prices would demonstrate that dairy farmers would have a higher net income from selling more milk at less prices. Morse said, "We dare not focus on price alone.” “Farm income,” Morse said, “is the product of price times volume —dollars times bushels, pounds or tons.” The current farm program, Morse said, has taken 20 million acres of major crops out of production through controls which go with high fixed supports. He said many community leaders fear that the curtailed production will cause labor and business to suffer and force farmers to operate unprofitably. "Those who would insist on high levels of farm prices—at the expense of unnecessary and uneconomic restrictions on production—are not acting in the best interests of farmers, labor, industry, or of the total national welfare,” Morse said. Morse spoke to a joint meeting of the Decatur association of commerce and the Macon county Farm Bureau. Lafayette Man Is Killed In Accident INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Wilson C.

Medical Records Taken By Children Discarded Records From VD Clinic INDIANAPOLIS UP — Discarded medical records of former patients at a venereal disease clinic were taken by children playing in abandoned building once used by the clinic, the Indianapolis Times said today. The Times, a Scripps-Howard newspaper, quoted neighbors as saying children "have been taking the records away.” “They could lead to public disclosure and shame — even blackmail —of those who were afflicted", The Times said. The records dating back to World War II listed not only names, addresses and disease of the patients but also the names of persons from whom the patients said they received the infections. Two Times reporters roamed through 100 rooms of two buildings which housed the clinic until last April and found’ "scores of VD cards strewn over the floors of three rooms at ground level in the main building.” The clinic was transferred to General Hospital. The Times called the buildings a firetrap and said they endangered lives of children. Most windows are broken, rubble litters the floors. Children 4 to 14 years old were seen in the building, some sliding down a 3-story fire escape chute, the Times said.

Last Indian Troops -I Leave South Korea India Guard Troops Sailing For Home SEOUL, Korea, UP — Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya closed the book on ■ the Korea war prisoner drama to-1 day by bidding farewell to the last boatload of his homewardbound former Indian guard troops. Thimayya, who was chief custodian of all unrepatriated prisoners, inspected the Indian troopship Jalaburga before it sailed with more than 1,000 soldiers, last of the 5,600 sent to Panmunjom six months ago. South Koreans made no physical attempts to block the final voyage but ROK foreign minister Pyun Yung Tai charged that the Indians were “not gentlemen.” | Pyun denounced Thimayya and his custodial force because they had ignored ROK demands for "assurances” that 76 anti-Commu-nist North Koreans now’ in India waiting homes in neutral nations would be properly cared for. The only incident that disturbed the otherwise smpoth transfer of the Indians from Panmunjom to! the port of Inchon was the abor-1 tive attempt by South Korean youths early Monday to block a trainload of Thlmayya’s troops. The Koreans were dispersed by American soldiers. After saying farewell to the men aboard the Jalaburga, Thimayya returned to Seoul from Inchon and then flew t(j Tokyo for a five-day leave. He will return to India to assume his West Indian command. All Who Oppose McCarthy Dupes CHICAGO U P— Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam, a critic of Sen. Joseph R.

C., area, commented on (McCarthy’s charges against secretary of the army Robert T. Stevens before addressing the Chicago chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union Monday night.
