Arturo Toscanini died in his sleep Wednesday morning at his home, the Villa Pauline, in the Riverdale section of the Bronx.

President Eisenhower expressed

his deep regret at the death of the Maestro. In a statement, Mr. Eisenhower said: "I have learned with deep regret of the death of Arturo Toscanini. As man and as musician he gained the admiration of the world. He spoke in the universal language of music but he also spoke in the language of free men everywhere, The inusic he created and the hatred of tyranny that was his, are part of the legacy of our time." The Maestro was mourned from the La Scala Opera House in Milan, the scene of his greatest early triumphs, to New York, where Toscanini put down his baton for the last time three years ago. The Italian flag was lowered to half staff at the La Scala Opera House and the orchestra stopped its rehearsal for one minute of silent tribute. In New York Wednesday night Dimitri Mitropolous conducted the orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera in one of Toscanini's favorite operas. The audience spontaneously rose and stood in silence as the orchestra began the Prelude to the

Fourth Act of Verdi's "La Traviata.” Toscanini had lived in strict retirement since 1955 in his luxurious home overlooking the Hudson River. He conducted his/last concert in public April 4, 1954 in Carnegie Hall. He led the NBC Symphony Orchestra through the “Die Meistersinger" overture, dropped his baton from his hand, and walked off the stage for the last time. Franklin Students i Routed By Flames FRANKLIN.

Republican Fight Over Corn Program Party Fight Looms Over Corn Program WASHINGTON (UP)-Republi-cans appeared headed tor a family fight today over administration plans for a new program to support the price and Control the production of corn, the nation’s biggest farm crop. Administration leaders and GOP com belt congressmen appeared fairly close on plans- to increase government planting allotments through 1959 and to guarantee a price support floor. But administration farm officials were far from pleased with the long range effects of a corn bill introduced Wednesday by Rep. August H. Andresen (R-Minn), rankiiig Republican member of the House Agriculture Committee. Under the Andresen bill, com

acreage allotments would be continued permanently, with a minimum annual allotment of 51 million acres for the M - state commercial corn belt. A guaranteed floor for corn price supports of 75 per cent of the "fair earning power” parity level also would be continued permanently. Administration leaders indicated they favor a plan that would drop mandatory corn supports and controls after 1959. A high Agriculture Department official said the department "would have no serious objection to a support floor for corn in a base acreage bill.” He indicated the administration has been considering a 70 per cent of parity floor. The corn issue arose after growers rejected in a referendum last month a 51 million acre "base acreage” proposal Under the plan Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson would have had an immediate free hand to set corn supports. The vote left a 37.3 million acre 1957 allotment in effect, with sup-

ports set at 91.36 a bushel. This acreage is far below normal corn belt plantings. As a result, few if any farmers are expected to put any corn acreage in the soil bank or to qualify for price supports. The result, farm officials feared, would be another big corn crop in 1957 and low prices next fall. Heavy corn supplies would eventually force hog and cattle prices down, they said. Asks Public Watch For Flying Objects Scientific Group Asks Public Help WASHINGTON ’ (UP)—A new scientific organization has asked the public to be on the lookout for "unidentified flying objects” apparently piloted by “intelligent beings” entering the earth’s atmosphere. , Rear Adm. Delmer S. Fahrney (Ret.) urged the public to send reports on unidentified flying objects to a new organization known as the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. Fahrney is chairman of the group. He said Wednesday the objects move at speeds which cannot be duplicated by the United States and Russia. Fahrney is a pioneer in the development of controlled aircraft and guided missiles for the Navy. He has been commended for his work by the Bureau of Aeronautics. Fahrney said the committee, an independent non-profit organization, would encourage formation of flying saucer clubs across the nation to supply trained observers. Reports from them, he said, would be analyzed by the committee with cooperation of leading scientists. He said many observers have stopped reporting to the Air Force on such objects' because "all the' information is going in and done coming out.” Fahrney said observers have estimated speeds of some flying objects at up to 12,000 miles an hour. “Hie state of technology in this country and Russia today would not permit duplication of the high speeds and terrific acceleration” he said. “It’s apparent that these objects are directed by intelligent beings because of the 'manner in which they maneuver.” Poultry School At Bluffton Jan. 25 A meeting of interest to all owners of farm poultry flocks will be held Friday;- Jan.- 25. at the community building in Bluffton.
