Seeks Senate Aid To Fight I Benson Order Minnesota Solon Urges Senators To Fight Support Order • WASHINGTON UP — Sen (Edward J. Thye appealed today &er the backing of the full senate in his fight to block agriculture secretary Ezra T. Benson’s order {lashing government butter price uarantees. The Minnesota Republican sent i letters to all senators inviting ■ them to become co-sponsors of his , bill to cuts in the support • level of dbiry products to 5 per . cent a year. Benson has called for . a 15 per cent slash on April 1. ► At the same .time, chairman • George D. Aiken R-Vt„ said the • senate agriculture committee 1 would open its long-awaited gen--1 eral farm program hearings next week. He said problems facing the ■ dairy industry and legislative proposals would get top priority. The huge pile-up of surplus butter in government freezers prompti ed Benson to order a cut in dairy price supports from the present 90. per cent of “fair price" parity • to 75 per cent-lowest level per- ■ mitted toy law. Thye’s bill would 1 force Benson to hold supports to at least 85 per cent of parity for • the coming year. Thye introduced the bill last ! Wednesday. Since then, he said, eight senators have asked to be listed as co-sponsors. 1 The administration appeared 1 likely to find much of the.opposition to the support cut coming, in any showdown test, k from within Republican party ranks. - Sen. Alexander Wiley R Wis., whose state is a leading dairy center, took pains to announce on the Senate floor Tuesday he is supporting the Thye bill. However, some representatives from “big city” areas in the House are strongly backing the cut in dairy supports. Benson said the order would reduce retail butter prices by about eight cents a pound. ■ Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey DMinn., issued a statement asking for hurry-up treatment of the Thye bill in the agriculture committee. He warned against “holding back” action on the measure for inclusion in general farm legislation. Planning Committee Will Meet Tuesday The Adams county program planning committee will meet at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 2, at the Moose home, corner First and Jackson in Decatur. P. K. Connelly, assistant county agent leader, will lead in a discussion of this principal of program planning.

Bank Accounts In Nation Increased Increase Os Over 6 Billion Reported WASHINGTON, UP—American individuals and businesses fattened their bank account? by 6,400,000,000 last year, the federal reserve board reported today. Checking accounts shrank less than usual in the first half of the year and increased “slightly more” than is usual during the second half, it said, and savings continued the “substantial" increase of recent years. Government officials and economists consider large savings a key factor in the nation's economic health. ThW represent a large volume of potential buying power ‘ that can exert strong influence on production and employment levels. Reporting on bank deposits and loans in its February ‘Bulletin,’’ the board said the amount of cash held outside banks also increased last year. but less rapidly than in 1952. The nation’s 14,000 commercial banks increased their loans outstanding by 3,600,000,000 during the year, which was less than in 1952. The biggest share of the. increase was in loans to consumers, largely to finance automobiles. The full year increase was 1,300,000,000, or 15 percent, but the month-by-month increase had ceased in the last quarter of the year, the board said. Business loans decreased by about 400 million dollars during the year. It was the first decline since 1949 and only the second in the past 10 years. Six More Areas On Unemployment list South Bend Added To Eligible List WASHINGTON UP —The Labor Department today declared six more areas have “substantial” unemployment, making them eligible for special consideration in getting government contracts. The areas include three major industrial centers—the Quad-Cities area of lowa and Illinois, South Bend, Ind., and Battle Creek, Mich. —and three smaller areas. La Crosse, Wis.; Hudson, N.Y., and Welch, W. Va. The total number of such areas now are 59. These include 25 maior_ areas and 35 smaller ones. An area Is listed as “substantial” when 6 per cent or more of its labor force is jobless and there is no immediate prospect of any sizable reduction in jobless. In areas of this category, firms may bid on certain defense’ and government contracts set aside to aid such areas. ZX ... Z.X- - The-labor depart ment said- unemployment in the Davenport-Rock Island - Moline, Ill.,—lowa, area reached 7.7 per cent of the labo» force early this month, chiefly because of layoffs in the ’farm machinery industry. The volume of unemployment Is expected to continue through late spring. In Battle Creek, Mich., the department said, unemployment reached 10.2 per cent In January, or 5,500 jobless persons. Widespread layoffs in the durable goods industries were mainly responsible. The area is not expected to get out of the substantial unemployment class before mid-May. _ In South Bend unemployment totaled probably more tlikn 9 per cent due mainly to production declines in the motor vehifele industry. There is little prospect that the jobless level will be “materially’’ reduced this spring, the department said. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Cabinet Minister Is Sent To India French Minister Is Sent To India PARIS, UP—France today sent a cabinet minister to India “on routine business” amid mounting demands that the French government take up Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s proposal for a cease-fire in the eight-year-old Indochina war. Premier Joseph Laniel’s secretary of state. Pierre July, has answered these growing demands with the explanation that the government "cannot commit itself” on' the Nehru cease-fire plan unless and until it is proposed through official channels. It was believed here that the sudden departure of air minister Louis Christiaens for New Delhi might be a first move in opening discussions of the Indian truce plan. r“—■ Officially Christiaens, a greyhaired politician who last year crashed through the sound barrier in a French-made jet plane, is visiting India “on business.” It was explained he will discuss sale to India of French-made aircraft. But the possibility was not ruled out that he may take up th'e Indian truce plan while in New Delhi.

Dealers Warned On Bootlegging Autos Warning Issued By Auto Manufacturer DETROIT ' UP —At least one big auto manufacturer will launch a bare knuckle fight to stamp out "bootlegging” of new cars. Dealers will be warned of dire consequences it they become a party to bootlegging b> selling new cars to used car outlets at cut rates almost as soon as they get them. Whether the other companies will follow suit is still a question. All say they are “studying” the situation. If they do. big signs on used car lots announcing popular brand new cars at discount prices will come down quickly. The manufacturer asked not to be identified until dealers get their warnings. "Bootleg” cars started coming onto the market in big volume late last year when there were more cars than people wanted to buy. The situation still exists. Some dealers were willing to sell their cars to so-called “bootleg operators" at a small margin rather than wait until customers trickled in to buy at retail prices. There is nothing illegal in the practice unless it be that a used car dealer’s state license may not cover the sale of new cars. New car dealers are legally independent businessmen who can sell to whomever they w-ish at any price they desire. The manufacturer just "recommends" a price. This "recommendation,”ot coprse, carries more than a normal amount of weight and the manufacturer can make it tough, indirectly, on the dealer w-ho doesn’t go along. For example, Automotive News, a trade publication, reports that three dealers in the New York area were taken off the manufacturer’s car quota list for just that reason. The company was not identified.

The practice of bootlegging cars is most prevalent in the west, southwest and south—points most distant from Detroit. But the auto companies’ hands are tied somewhat by federal law which limits their control over retail outlets. Any direct effort to make dealers knuckle under could lead to restraint, of trade suits. Apparently one company is willing' to risk this. Chrysler Corp, called the situation "disturbing in some areas", and said the matter was being given “serious study." Ford Motor Co. discussed the situation with dealers and distributors ip a closed circuit telecast jnto theaters in 33 cities. General Motors is likewise concerned, but no action has been reported. This concern extends to the dealers who blame over-production and inequitable freight charges for bootlegging. The dealers get blamed for being the instigators of bootlegging because if they didn’t sell to bootleg operators there would be no bootlegging. Both maker and seller agree on one thing: U is demoralizing the market. .

Plan Construction Os Bloomington Bypass INDIANAPOLIS UP — Plans for construction of an Ind. 37 bypass route around the east side of Bloomington this summer were reported today by the Indiana state highway commission. The proposed route will turn east off Ind. 37 at the north edgp of the city and curve east to connect with Ind. 46 at the city’s east boundary, according to Chief Engineer Carl Vogelgesang. Ag Department Is Checking Complaint Reports Employes 1 Attending Rallies WASHINGTON.UP — The agriculture department is checking ipto a complaint by a midwest Republican congressman that some of its employes have attended pemocratic fund-raising dinners, it was reported today. An aide to agriculture secretary Ezra T. Benson said the congressman sent a list of about 75 names to the department’s personnel office asking it any of the persons were employed by the agency and if so where. The aide said a check is being made but emphasized the list did not originate in the department. He would not name the congressman who requested the information. Asst. Secretary Ross Rizley. who handles the department's relations with congress, said attendance at Democratic Jefferson-Jackson day rallies — which have admittance prices of from $5 to 1100—would not mean anything "as such." But he said attendance “might be another count in an indictment” against an employe. It was learned that the list includes the name of Marcus B. Braswell, who recently resigned as associate administrator of the commodity stabilization service. But it does not include Howard H. Gordon, who quit as stabilization chief at the same time. Disclosure of the list of Jeffer-son-Jackson day dinners fallowed reports that patronage — anxious GOP congressmen, including chairman Johm Taber R-N. Y. of the house appropriations committee, have demanded’ a housecleaning Os Democratic holdovers in the department. 4 _ - Trade in a uooa Town — Decatur

Claude Batchelor, a reformed one-time Communist “peace fighter,” off a plane loaded with hospital patients today and sent him home on another flight.
