Brown, chairman of the Adams county agricultural stabilisation and conservation committee, announces. The rate for the wrag<l*»raii«tra3« of wheat last year was $2.28 per bushel when wheat support was based on 90 , percent of parity. The 1955 crop rate is based on 82% percent of parity. Brown explained that rates currently announced are the minimum rates based on the national average minimum support of $2.'06 announced September 15, 1954, when parity was $2.50 per bushel. If the parity figure is higher on July 1, 1955, the support will be adjusted upward accordingly, butQthe rate will not be lower than the minimum. —To be eligible to receive price support on wheat, a farmer must not harvest wheat acreage above the established allotment.

Number Os GM Workers Idle Is Decreasing Company Says Most Os Idle Caused By Local Grievances DETROIT (INS-) — General Motors said today that the number of GM workers idled because of protest strikes over last Monday’s guaranteed wage agreement has dropped to 50,300 in 17 plants. A corporation spokesman said most of the workers were idle because of strikes over local grievances. Some plants are closed because of parts shortages caused by strikes at other GM factories. Meanwhile, new contract negotiations between American Motors and the union went into their second day at the Veterans Memorial building .today. The AM talks probably will be adjourned after today’s session until early next week so negotiators can bargain on local issues in the corporation’s plants. .. ..i The union made it plain Tuesday that it seeks the guaranteed wage from AM. UAW vice president - Leonard Woodcock, who heads the union team, said: "We will seek a guaranteed wage from American Motors because their employes need it even more than the bigger firms. There have been many ups apt downs of unemployment among AM workers.” Nearly 3,900 of AM’s 20,000 employes are now laid off because of a production .cutback. The firm has 10 plants, the four biggest being in Wisconsin. Tuesday also saw the firstleg islative reaction to the controversial wage guarantee issue when the Ohio state senate voted down a proposal that would have enabled Ohio workers to receive the supplemental pay with the amount being deducted from their unemployment compensation. However, Stanley R. Mechem, Republican majority leader In the Ohio senate, indicated he would recommend that a' legislative committee be appointed to study the situation because of its "momentous importance.” Party Lines Are Drawn On Dixon-Yates Democrats Seek To Pass Bill Slated To Cripple Project WASHINGTON (INS) — Party lines were tightly drawn today in the house as Democrats called up an appropriation bill which would cripple—or possibly eventually kill —the Dixon-Yates power project. Republicans closed their ranks in an effort to avert a defeat for President Eisenhower who has strongly supported the private utility contract to supplement Tennessee Valley Authority power. The administration recommendations were tossed aside by the' Democratic- controlled house appropriations to the floor a one billion. 291 million dollar public works measure providing money for seven government agenciesThe only major controversy is •on the President's request for $6.5 million to construct transmission lines from the privately financed West Memphis, Ark., power plant to connect with the TV A. The Dixon-Yates combine has a government contract to build the SIOO million power plant and, up to now, Democrats have fought unsuccessfully to kill the project. The issue is also subject to litigation In the courts. However, without transmission lines, the plant could not deliver its ' power. [ The house committee has voted to reject the funds requested for the lines, and use the same money to begin work on a power plant to be built by TVA at Fulton, Tenn. The Fulton unit would eventually cost an estimated S9O million. House Republicans, in a caucus Tuesday night, decided to offer an amendment barring use of federal funds for the Fulton plant. Assistant Republican leader Charles A. Halleck, Ind., told newsmen that adoption of the GOP amendment would automatically make the funds available for the transmission lines.
