Benson Continues Tour Os Indiana Says No Evidence Os Farmer Revolt By SAM NEWLUND United Press Staff Correspond™* INDIANAPOLIS (UP*— Agriculture , Secretary Ezra T. Benson continued his cracker barrel tour of Indiana today with an assurance that there is “no evidence of a {arm revolt.”. Benson was slated for appearances in Clark, Harrison, Spencer and Vanderburgh counties today and Posey County Wednesday. Fence-hopping through rural Shelby County Monday, Benson said he found neither a “revolt" nor a “farm depression" during a 12-state tour. “Never have I found a finer spirit from the farmer,” he told a news conference at Shelbyville. Benson arrived at the town square in an auto caravan that drove by trucks displaying signs complaining of low farm prices. He greeted a few listeners on the square, addressed about 2,00 farmers at the County Fairgrounds race track, then went on a whirlwind tour of farms, grain elevators and country stores. On the cost-price squeeze, Benson told his Fairgrounds audience. “We’ve turned the comer on this downward trend." He attacked Democratic statements that farmers under the Eisenhower Administration are being driven from their farms Says Statement Is Untrue “There is only one thing wrong with that statement,” Benson said. ’lt is absolutely untrue." During his tour, including drought areas, Benson told newsmen he failed to find a single “forced sale” of farm property. On President Eisenhower’s chances in the Midwest farm belt, Benson said, “I don’t believe the President will lose any of the traditional Republican farm belt vom.” Benson’s appearance in Shelby County was w-ell planned.

Grabbing an ear of corn, he asked, “What's it running per acre?...You think the moisture content is all right?” . Benson took his “Ike-Dick” button from his lapel and pinned it on Zeigler’s shirt-front. Zeigler said he planned to vote Republican anyway. \ Up the road, Benson walked into the "Boggstown Locker" and told the clerk, “I wanted to get into one right good country store.” He examined a livestock killing room and several beef carcasses hanging in a freezer. Said proprietor George Perkinson Sr. as he waved goodbye to Benson: “Let’s go down there and get the fanners a couple more dollars for their hogs.” Tosses Kernels In Mouth At the Fairland Grain Co. elevator, Benson grabbed an ear of corn, tossed some kernels in his mouth and observed, “Look’s like you’re getting some pretty, good corn.” "But we're not getting anything sos it,” one farmer said as he shuffled away.

Both Parties Claim Control Os House Conflicting Views From Party Leaders WASHINGTON (IP) — Republicans claimed today they will capture control of the House by a 30vote margin in next Tuesday’s election. The Democratic counter-claim: "We’ll win again, and this time by a 60-vote margin.” The conflicting forecasts came from Rep. Richard M. Simpson TR-Pa.l and Rep. Michael J. Kirwan (D-Ohio), chairman of the Republican and Democratic congressional committees, respectively. The Democrats now control the House by a 29-vote margin. There are 230 Democrats and 201 Republicans. with two Democratic and two Republican seats temporarily vacant. The last time Republicans won control of the House was in 1952 when they took it by a narrow margin of 7 votes, 221 to 214 despite President Eisenhower’s landslide victory in the presidential election. The Democrats won control in 1954. Simpson told a reporter that “reports from the field indicate Republicans will hold a minimum of 230 seats,” when all the results are in from next Tuesday’s balloting. Kirway said in a separate interview that his reports foretell a party lineup of 247 or 238 Democrats to 197 or 188 Republicans in the next Congress.

Blame Horror Films ' For Death Os Youth Unsuspected Heart Condition Is Found ’ CHICAGO (UP)— A pair of Hol- . lywood horror films may have been responsible for the death of a 9-year old boy suffering from an unsuspected heart condition, i medical authorities indicated to- , day. Stewart Cohan, of suburban Oak Park, collapsed and died Sunday while watching the opening moments of “The Creeping unknown.” The first half of the dou-ble-horror feature, “The Black Shqap” portrayed the doings of a mad surgeon. a Dr. Albert Baugher, Cook County coroner’s pathologist, told an inquest Monday that the youth’s heart was not in healthy condition. A six-hour autopsy revealed that Stewart’s heart was smaller than a normal-sized organ, Baugher said. His parents were unaware of this condition, and thought their son was a normal, active youngster. “In layman’s language,” Baugher said, “the boy died of a heart collapse after extraordinaryheart collapse after extraordinary tension while watching a movie.” Two companions said Stewart was watching a scene depicting the explosion of a rocket ship when he glanced at ehtdna m when he glanced at them and seemed to mumble something. Then he slumped over in his seat and slid to the floor, where he died. William Cole, manager of the Lake Theater, denied that the pictures were as horrifying as many that had previously been released. Coroner Walter McCarron announced that ‘‘l’m going to- demand that double feature horror shows be stopped immediately.” Charges Radiation 7 Dangers Withheld Ike Administration Scored By Kefauver By WARREN DUFFEE United Press Staff Correspondent WITH KEFAUVER IN ILLINOIS »UP)— Sen. Estes Kefauver charged today the Eisenhower administration was trying to withhold information on the dangers of radiation from the public. “They have tried to suppress and hold back the disturbing reports that have come in from various medical laboratories,” Kefauver said. However, in remarks prepared for a University of Illinois campus audience at Champaign, Kefauver did hot repeat his statement made Monday in Ohio that he personally favors unilateral ac, tion by the United States on stopping hydrogen bomb tests first before seeking international agreements to ban them permanently. Kefauver’s one day swing through Illinois will take him to Champaign, Decatur, Bloomington and Peoria. He flies tonight to Battle Creek, Mich. The Democratic vice presidential nominee ran into a n <| y but good-nature controversy when he landed at midnight in Champaign. An enthusiastic group of supporters had to interrupt his impromptu airport speech to drown out a small but determined band of “I Like Ike" students. ; Kefauver abandoned his folksy manner for the formal speech at the university. He defended at length Democratic presidential nominee Adlai E. Stevenson's proposal that the United States seek international agreements to end -further H-bomb tests because of the harmful effects on future humanity. v ' IMMEDIATE (Continned from Pane One) “No one, certainly, should take ,
