Record Buildup Os Surpluses Checked Government Owns Over Five Billion WASHINGTON (UP> - Agriculture Department experts beilieve the record-breaking buildup |of farm surpluses has been ' checked. But Uncle Sam still owns more than $5,300,000,000 i worth of food, feed and fiber. ; The government is willing to , sell, donate and barter the bulk [ of the surpluses. The taxpayers , stand to take a whopping loss of i nearly 2 billion dollars on the ' stocks now on hand. The huge stock of agricultural ' commodities was built up through - increased production and price j support operations of the Commodity Credit Corporation, an agency of the Agriculture Depart--1 ment. The $5,300,000,000 inventory as of Sept. 30 does not include [ more than $2,600,000,00 in out- > standing loans on farm com modJ ities still in farmers’ hands. Holds Big Inventory 1 The big items in the government ' inventory include 900 million bushels of wheat worth about ' $2,400,000;, 748 million bushels of corn worth about $1,300,000,000. and 3.300,000 bales of cotton worth r about 613 million dollars. The ; government also owns 199 million i dollars worth of rice, 171 million dollars in dairy products and i lesser amounts of peanuts, tobacco. honey, tung oil, wool, barley, dry edible beans, cottonseed prodcuts, cotton linters, flaxseed, grain ■ sorghum, linseed oil, rosin turpentine, oats, rye, field seeds, soybeans. and a few other perishables. The department estimates wheat exports in 1957 will be about 70 million bushels above exports in 1956. With about 13 million acres in the soil bank, the wheat crop next year should be about 700 million bushels, down 200 million bushels from this year. This would make a sizable cut in the surplus.

1 The congregation of the Monroe Methodist church has been busy ’ during the past six weeks making ’ preparations for a large fund rais- ■ ing campaign. This campaign is • for the purpose of acquiring funds for a church building program. The oongregation of the church 1 has enlarged until the present sac--1 ilities are inadequate. ■ Finial building plans have not r been decided upon in detail. How- ■ ever, the general plans that the 1 church is working toward would ! call for a building program cost--1 ing approximately $60,000. These 1 plans call for an addition to be ad--1 ded to the present plant which ■ would house 7 or 8 class rooms, ■ rest rooms, a pastor’s study and ■ office, a nursery, cloak room 1 space and a kitchenette on the ground floor. The basement under ' this addition would house a kitchen, dining room, fuinace rtom and recreational facilities for the youth. The present sanctuary would then be deepend back into the present church annex. The remainder of the present annex would be divided into approximately 10 class rooms.

marketing year already are above 5 million bales and may reach 6 million bales before next Aug. 1. In the 1955-56 marketing year, cotton exports totaled only 2,200,000 bales. A reduction in minor feed supplies will cause livestock feeders to use more corn, thereby knocking down the surplus in that commodity. The donation programs for school lunches and foreign and domestic relief have dug a large hole in the surplus hoard. In fiscal 1956, total donations were more than 2 billion pounds of food worth about $547,600,000. In the first quarter of fiscal 1957, the donation rate was 2Mi times that of the rate in the same period In fiscal 1956.

' States Warned By ' Secretary Os Labor Must Give Workers Better Protection MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UP) - Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell warned today that states must give workers more and better protection and services or; the federal government will have to provide it. .j, Mitchell said in a speech pared for the International Association of Governmental Labor Officials that while state programs to insure workers against loss of income have improved in the past year they still lag far behind needs. , L^e “I don’t think there is any question, either, that the responsibility of the federal government will tend to increase to the extent that the states' neglect their responsibility,” he said. Mitchell said the nation can not . afford “the terrine waste” of job discrimination, inadequate training ; and education and inadequate . social legislation “which fails to > give (people) proper security in I time of need and proper restoration when they are injured.” Babysitter, Two Children Suffocate Oxygen Consumed By Old Gas Stove MOUNDSVILLE, W. Va. (UP), r Two young brothers and their bachelor babysitter died of suffocation Monday night when an old fashioned gas stove consumed the oxygen in a windowless, one room house. The bodies of the children—Dem nis L., 6, and Timothy L. Conneijj 10—were found sprawled on tire floor a few feet from the door, the only opening in the Cement-block structure near their suburban McKeefrey home. Slumped in a chair in front of the seven-burner gas stove was Howard Phillips, about 52, of Philippi, W. V. He had died in his sleep. - —y--were arrested on charges of overturning the truck and warrants were still out this morning for the arrest of two other pickets, the sheriff’s office said. Arrested and released on SSOO bond on malicious trespass charges were Joseph Mercier, Darrell Ashby, Everett Robertson Jr., John Conley Jr. and Williairt Deason. William Cundiff and Jack Caniff, accused on the same charges by Howard O. Meuche, the company's director of manufacturing, had not been found. A member of the striking Local 1459 of the International Association of Machinists said the strike started three weeks ago on a grievance dispute.

The union member said about half of the union's 650 members want to go back to work. ' . ) Trade In a Goop Torn — Decatu

t Soviets Allow Allied Trains Pass Unharmed Military Trains Allowed To Move Withoutlncident SOVIETS ALLOW 2 247UP59 Nov. 27 tbß4sa BERLIN <UP) — The Soviets allowed Western allied military trains to pass to and from isolated Berlin without incident today. The Soviets banned a Westbound British train from passing the East-West border Monday and delayed the U.S. Berlin-bound train s for two hours because it was carryB ing an American newspaperman. s The army ejected the newsman ® from the train. The Russians imposed new ree strictions on military train travel ® through the Soviet zone last week 1 but Western officials here refused • to disclose what they were. • There were signs the Western powers were complying with new , restrictions, at least to some ex--1 tent - 1 An American official here said s that “for the time being," AmeriJ can newspapermen accredited to 1 the army stationed in West-Ger* B many would not be allowed to J travel on the train. He said, how- • ever, newsmen who live in Berlin 1 could Use the train. ' The travel controversy appeared ; to center around interpretation of • which western allied nationals are ■ considered to be “military personnel” or “occupation personnel” ' and which are not. J The Soviets were believed to be i insisting that only military or occupation Soldiers and officials could use the trains. The American ban on Use of the train by Ainerican newsmen living in West Germany, but not those living in West Berlin, indicated the Sovietsjjrere accepting Western nationals stationed in Berlin as occupation personnel but not those stationed in West Germany.

Revision Is Urged On Lobbying Ad Termed Threat To Free Speech Right WASHINGTON (UP> —The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said today that the federal lobbying act should be “substantially revised" because it poses a threat to the constitutional right of free speech. The chamber called for the reqisjotT ih a statement prepared for delivery before the special Senate committee which is studying lobbying, campaign contributions and other attempts to influence congressional opinion. William B. Barton, general counsel, and his aide. Milton A. Smith, were to express the chamber’s views. Republican National Chairman Leonard W. Hall was scheduled to testify in advance of the chamber officials. The committee wanted to ask him what campaign spending limit—if any—he favors as a realistic substitute for the 3 million dollar limit now imposed on political committees. Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler proposed Monday that the ceiling be raised to 9 or 10 million dollars. He said some sort of limit is necessary, but conceded the present top is so low that both major parties find legal ways to get abbve it because of “the high cost of campaigning." Officials of COPE, political arm of the AFL-CIO, were also called to testify today. To Tell Version Os . Child's Kidnaping Defendant To Take Stand In Defense MINEOLA, N. Y. (W — Angelo John La Marca today takes the stand in his own defense to tell his version of the Peter Weinberger kidnaping. La Marca’s wife, Donna, and Dr. Thomas Cusack, a psychiatrist, also are scheduled to testify as defense witnesses in Nassau County court. La Marca is charged with kidnaping and murder. Dist. Atty Frank Guolotta rested the state’s case against the 31-year-old mechanic Monday by reading a 54-page question-and-an-

swer confession allegedly made by La Marca after his arrest last Aug. 23. • It was the third confession read to the all-male jury. La Marca, in all three, had ihaintained that he kidnaped Peter from his parents’ Westbury, N.Y., home last July 4 with the aid of an accomplice and that the accomplice abandoned the infant in a thicket the next day. Davis M. Markowitz, chief defense counsel, hinted Monday that La Marca would say he kidnaped and abandoned the month-old baby and had no accomplice.
