Receipts from livestock and livestock products totaled about nine billion 600 million dollars, one percent below the total for the first seven months of 1953. Statistics oh livestock and livestock products show that an increase in receipts troq) hogs did not quite offset declines for chickens. eggs, milk and butterfat.

' ~ For the month of July total farm income was placed at two billion 400 million dollars, about the same as July, 1953, but 12 percent above the June level. Average prices for farm products were about the same in July as in June, but about five percent below July, 1953. , for livestock and livestock |yo&cUuln to one billion- 300. million dollars, a decline o’t seven percent from the previous July. , r Crop receipts in July showed their normal seasonal rise because of the harvest of wheat, oats, cot* ton, potatoes, apples, cherries and peaches.

Joseph R. McCarthy planned today to tell the Wisconsin Republican exactly which accusations it is considering. Chairman Arthur V. Watkins R Utah, told newsmen he would present a liAt of "specifications” to Edward B. Williams, McCarthy's lawyer, and would make them public at the same time, u He said they have been sifted from 46 allegations aimed at McCarthy by colleagues who want the Senate to censure • him. Watkins Kahl th#* Riiminarv i ota Ik abnui 10 -Twiu mu? nu nt <ii c» ij vxntaio aovut double-spaced typewritten pages. Meanwhile, Sen. Karl Mundt, S. D., Republican Army-McCarthy investigations subcommittee, said all four GOP members of the unit are agreed on a .majority verdict in the dispute between McCarthy and Pentagon oficiajs. Mundt said he and the three other Republican members of the groOp had signed a 3.300 to 3.500 word statement constituting their “findings and recommendations" on the case but gave no hint as to ‘what they were. Mundt added that the statement will not be made public until Aug. 30, the deadline date for the three Democrat members to file their verdict. The Watkins committee will begin public hearings Aug. 30, to obtain evidence on each of the accepted charges. It will report to the Senate, which will reconvene sometime after the hearings end. to take further action on. the censure motion by Sen. Ralph E. Flanders, (-R.-Vt.y A day or two after the hearings begin, a report is expected from the special subcommittee which conducted and judged the marathon McCarthy-Army hearings. The four Republicans on the sev-en-man group agreed Monday to a majority report and the three Democrats are working on minority findings. Both will be made public next ,*ee)t. r , Watkins told reporters his committee is sticking to its refusal to permit radio and television coverage of its forthcoming hearings, despite plans by CBS President Frank Stanton to tell the publicover a nationwide hookup Thursday night why he thinks the sessions should be broadcast and televised.

Sheriff Shraluka reported that Brewster had refused to talk to the police officers, so lie is now being confined in a single cell in the north cell block, where he is not able to talk with other prisoners. A Thorough «wrfb W’The; cell block from which Brewster made his escape turned up many interesting things, sheriff Sehraluka disclosed. First, when Jerome Gaskell was called in to rivet a steel plate over the escape hole, he and Schraluka found a 9 Inch hack saw blade in the debris. A cheek of the bars on the cell block disclosed that someone had attempted to saw through one of the imrs, but had only just slightly more than nicked it... , ;; r Law enforcement officers were at. a lose to explain just how Brewster’obtained the blade; they advanced several possible theories, stating it would have been possible for a visitor to' either- Brewster or Clark to have secreted the blade on their person, and then slipped it to one of the prisoners. Also, a small hole was found in the wire mesh which covers the jail wfhdows, and it is possible that an outside accomplice may have tied the blade to a string or wire lowered

from the cell to the ground. In the search of the ceil block bricks were discovered under Brewster’s cot. and also bentnd the radiator in the jail cell. In addition.' mortar and brick dust was discovered in quantity under a loose slab of concrete. This slab of concrete had been reported by the sheriff more than a year ago, and the grand jury last December recommended that the county commissioners repair the 3-foot-long hole, ibut no action had yet been taken. When Brewster was arrested he was found to have about ll.tju on hint; but no weapons. Police of-

It is poslble that he might have obtained the money from a visitor, or from one of Clark’s visitors; however, all visitors were told not to pass money to the prisoners. Prosecuting attorney Lewis Luts Smith will confer with law enforcement officers today over the possibility of filing additional charg es of jailbreaking against Brew■ster.
