U. S. Is Studying Russian Proposal Willing For Parley On Austrian Treaty WASHINGTON (1X8) — The United States wages a diplomatic struggle today to prevent tfeßuseiana from turning an Austrian peace treaty conference into a Big Four meeting on Germany and other world problems. The t. S. Indicated it is willing to go into' a conference on an Austrian peace treaty quickly. The state department repeated that it thought the U. S.. Russian. British and French ambassadors now in Vienna coitld do the work. Moscow, proposed a meeting of the foreign in the Austrian capital. —L-,— - The state department said only this proposal ‘ is receiving jftrompt and sympathetic consideration." This indicated the department would not hold out too strenuously against a foreign minister’s meeting but that it would resist any effort by the Russians to bring in any other issues besides the Austrian treaty. Department officials have broken down the whole Big Four conference question into two categories. There ia a ‘ Little Big Four" concept which would be a meeting confined to the Austrian- treaty’? - Later, the H. S. would be witting to get into what is called a "Big Big Four" to consider German unification. The department is set against getting into such a meeting before every legal step has been completed to permij the rearming of West Germany and the admission of the Bonn government into the North Atlantic treaty organization.

Benson Plans Tour 01 Dust Bowl Area First-Hand Look At Wind Erosion WASHINGTON UNS) — Agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson is considering a flying trip later this spring for a first-hand look at wind erosion damage In the dust bowl area. Benson told his news conference that latest reports from the sevenstate region indicate that recent rain and snow storms, particula-ly in Colorado and Wyoming, have provided some reliefs The secretary made a similar trip in the fall of 1953. He says no firm plans have been made for another such personal inspection. If he does go, it probably will be a flying trip through the most seriously affected areas. Benson also reports that a spe cial Committee he set up within the agriculture department to draft a long range anti-drought program for the dust bowl is now actively at* work. The department issued a report last week showing that 10 million acres in the seven states have been rmped up by high winds since last November. The same report esti hiated that another 20 million acres might be damaged if severe storms continue into the summer. In addition to the dust bowl situ ation, are- some of-the-other topics touched on by the secretary at his news conference: Dairy, products—There is a new spirit of optimism in the dairy industry, whereas there was nothing but gloom a year ago. The industry is doing a fine job of sales promotion. Soybeans—The department has been giving some consideration to a special program' affecting soybean price supports. . The cabinet inembea would not comment, however, on a suggestion to him by Sen. Hubert Hum phrey (D Minn.l, that it might be wise t,o. extend the maturity date for loans on Soybeans and to offer a reseal program for the crop to prevent a price sag. Cotton—The secretary said he was interested in a suggestion by Sen. James O. Eastland (D Miss.), that it might be good policy tc permit some expansion of cotton acreage—now tightly controlled — in exchange for lower support prices on the fiber crop. Disaster loans —Interest rates on loans to farmers hit, by drought

floods and freezes were raised from three to five per cent because the department felt that the rate should be the same as those for all other types of credit extended by the farmers horns administration. The secretary defended the increases. saying that the old lowrates induced sdme farmers to abuse the government loan program by applying tor this cheap credit when they could have obtained privately-financed loans at a somewhat higher rate Meeting Thursday At Willshire Church The third meeting of the missionary education program of the Willshire Methodist church will be held at 7:30 p. m. Thursday at the church. The speaker will be the Rev. Bliss Wiant. missionary in China for 28 years, will be the guest speaker.
