U. S. Seeks To Prevent Fuel Aid To Reds Red China Appears Laying Groundwork Os Smear Campaign UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (INS) —Red China appears to be laying the groundwork for another smear campaign against the U.S. in the case of the tanker Aruba And UN diplomats believe Russia will be asked to accuse the U.S. before the security council of pkacy if the Chinese Nationalists seise the tanker now enroute to Red China with jet fuel. These diplomats suspect that the Reds, feeling the Aruba might be grabbed by the Nationalists without fanfare, decided to publicize the fact the tanker was headed toward Red China so it could launch its campaign against the U.S. if an incident occurred. In Washington, meanwhile, Sen. John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) said the U. S. is tiling steps to prevent the Finnish tanker from delivering its cargo of 13,000 tons of jet fuel which was taken on in Romania. He refused to reveal what measures the government might be taking or to say whether the U.S. was doing everything she could to stop delivery. At the same time reliable sources told International News Service that the U.S. had tried without success to buy the Aruba’s cargo to prevent its falling into Red hands. The Aruba is a Finner tanker under charter to Far Eastern Enterprises, Ltd., of Hong Kong, a firm which the state department says is operated by Chinese Communists. . ; __ __ The Finnish government is understood to have informed the U.S. and other governments that, the | tanker is beyond its “control." continued the case until March 24. Os eight L. & N. passenger trains normally serving Evansville, four were cancelled and the other four combined into two.

Say Report Played Down Farm Problems Democrats Attack Eisenhower Report WASHINGTON (INS) — Democrats on the joint congressional economic committee charge in effect that President Eisenhower’s economic report played down the farm cost-price squeeze. In a summary of their vjews. the majority said: "In the face of evidence of continuing agricultural distress, of falling farm incomes, and the existence of at least two million farm families suffering from underemployment and inadequate incomes, it is difficult to see how a thorough discussion of the farm problem, together with recommendations for programs to deal with it, could have been so completely minimized in the report." Republicans on the committee promptly countered that the reason was obvious. They pointed out that the Eisenhower administration's new flexible price support program just took effect last Jan. 1 and that it will not become fully operative until next year. The GOP members said the subject was more or less skimmed over in Mr. Eisenhower's report because the administration feels that congress should not tinker with farm policies until the GOP program has been given a fair chance to prove its usefulness. Democratic members on the joint committee, however, went ahead with recommendations for changes which they believe legislative committees of congress should consider. One of their suggestions sounds like the much-criticized plan which bears the name of former agriculture secretary Charles F. Brannan. It adopts the Brannan plan's idea that farm prices in the open market should reflect the demandsupply situation, backed up by government payments to small family-size farmers whenever declining prices threaten the income level of such families. The Democrats suggested establishment of a per-farm ceilings on these payments on the theory that the government should not guar-

antee the total income pf large farms which are theoretically better able to stand up under price fluctuations. Secondly, the committee "majority said: “We much proceed at once to attack the problem of strengthening the family-size farm and the elimination of underemployment and low incomes among our rural families." Ranks Australia As Tops Among Allies Unusual Tribute Is Paid By Secy. Dulles WASHINGTON (INS) — Secretary of state John Foster Dulles in an unusual tribute Monday night declared that Australia ranks in the top position among America’s allies. At a state dinner honoring prime minister Robert G. Menzies, Dulles said that of all U.S. allies "there is none on whom we place * the same dependence as Australia.” He also declared:* “We work with many upon whose loyalty we do not feel absolutely secure but when we two (the U.S. and Australia) work together, we know that basically we share the same concepts.” In reply, Menzies praised the secretary as enjoying “among intelligent mankind a decent and profound respect” The prime minister pledged that the ties between English-speaking peoples world not be broken. He added that if the American people judge the British Commonwealth by what it does and not by what some of its citizens say, "you will have full confidence in the British empire.” The dinner was significant not only for the meaningful compliments exchanged but by the frequent epplause which Menzies received. State department officials who have attended all such state banquets in recent years said that no visiting chief of state has received such an ovation in their memory. Menzies declared the Communists are enemies. He added: “The enemy is clever. He tries to build up little differences to divide us. But once we can shed all the irrelevancies there will be no troubles because we know we can agree on all the pertinent things." Then, directing himself to Dulles, the prime minister said: “I am a great admirer of what you have done .and what you are doing.” k MCHIEVEMfiNT '(Continued from PagedDne) to Albert Ewel, Franklin Steury, Dan Striker, Martin Habegger, Rolandes Liechty, Jesse Blume and sons and C.

MCCARTHY IN (Continued from Page One) Peress, a former army dentist, was promoted to major and—despite protests from Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R-Wis,) — honorably discharged, although he refused on grounds of possible self-incrim-ination to' say whether he was a Communist. It was the case which touched off the televised army-McCarthy hearings last year while the Wisconsin senator headed the subcommittee. McClellan, who has promised a, full investigation of the Peress case, said the report Stevens refuses to make available was prepared by the army’s inspector general. A running account of the dispute was detailed in four letters exchanged between McClellan and Stevens. The army secretary flatly refused to release the report on grounds that it would set a precedent. Stevens said he would give the subcommittee the “substance” of the report but would not supply the full text because that would expose the investigative techniques of the army. He said the FBI follows a similar practice on its confidential investigations. .But McClellan disclosed that on Ja®. 22 «sSeeasSst-t»».. staff-mem-bers were permitted to examine the report for one and one-half hours, but it yas then. “pre-emp-. torily withdrawn* Stevens said this stemmed from a “misunderstanding” and does not alter the army’s basic position.

County extension programs are developed in each county by Its own extension committee, county agent Leo Seltenright explains. However, it has been found useful to discuss possible programs on a district basis in order to improve them and to increase their service to the county. Attending from Adams county will be Orison Stolz, chairman of the county extension committee; Mrs. Theron Fenstermaker, president of the county home demonstration council; Harold Schwartz and Mrs. Walter Egley, co-chair-men of the county 4-H council, and Mrs. Albert Beineke, chairman of the Fort Wayne district of the home demonstration association.

(INS) —Two men were being held in Los Nietos, Calif., today after admitting, sherries officers said, that they kidnaped a pretty 17-year-old Erie, Pa-, girl and criminally assaulted her in the Puente Hills. Sheriffs Lt. Colfford Price said the men made a complete statement Monday describing in detail the victim's five hours of terror. Price said complaints will be sought charging each man with one count of kidnaping with injury -an offense punishable by death ■under California's ‘'Little Lindbergh Law" and one count of forced criminal attack. Sheriffs deputies booked the pair on suspicion of rape and identified them as Carlos Soto, 24, and Gilbert Agyayo, 22, Los Nietos laborers. The girl, Peggy Daily, is under treatment for injuries inflicted by her assailants. The girl told officers she was sitting with Max Brown, 20, in his car and listening to the radio early Monday when the battery ran down. The cguple accepted the offer of two men who came by in a car to push the stalled cur. Instead, Miss Daily said, the men slugged Brown and forced her into their car, criminally assaulting her before releasing her near the Compton home of an aunt and uncle.

John David Provoo To Be Freed Today Release Ordered By Federal Judge BALTIMORE (INS) —John David ProVoo, who was sentenced to lite imprisonment tor treason while a prisoner of the Japanese during World War 11, will be freed today. The 37-year-old former San Francisco bank-clerk will be brought before Federal Judge Roszel C. Thomsen, who ordered his release Monday, and after the necessary papers are signed by the Jurist. Provoo will be permitted to walk out of court a free man. The government has not yet announced whether it will appeal the case. The appeals court said that the former army sergeant was wrongly convclted in New York because the trial should have been held in Maryland, his present residence. Provoo's only comment to newsmen when the judge ordered his release was: "1 am very grateful.’’ SENATORS VOTE (Continued from Page One) would have given business firms a tax "windfall" esstimated at as much as a billion dollars or more. Johnson himself had to correct a "windfall" feature in his own compromise amendment as debate neared its close. He offered a modifying amendment to make sure his proposal would not give a tax "windfall" estimated at as the country's eight communityproperty states. The compromise would give family heads a S2O tax credit, plus $lO credit for each dependent, but couples using the split-income benefit of the tax law would get little if any of this reduction. Other senators pointed out that couples in communiy - property states still could take the full tax credit. Johnson offered his correction so there would be no special advantage in the eight states. There are about B'JO Seminole Indians living in Florida. Nearly a score of American towns are named El Dorado.

Superintendent of public instruction Wilbur Young issued letters to all city and county school superintendents asking them to provide the police and the sherift of their county with telephone numbers of school officials. Wallace A. Bertrand, meteorologist in charge of the U. S. weather bureau in Indianapolis, and Col. Edward L. Strohbehn. state civil defense supervisor, are cooperating in the extension of the usual tornadd alert, under which police have been notified whenever weather forecasters note conditions apt to breed a tornado. Bertrand said Indiana ranks eighth in the United States for tornado frequency. Civil defense directors also are to get the warnings, under the extended plan. DULLES ASSERTS (Continued from Page One) has guaranteed by treaty. But-he added that it would seem now that the Chinese communist operations are based on the objective of capturing Formosa and, therefore, it might very well be that President Eisenhower might decide Quetnoy and Matsu have to be defended.
