said they didn’t think the administration would fight for the legislation. Still others declined comment. The proposal was outlined in congressional testimony Tuesday by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson. He coupled it with administration support for moves already underway in Congress to relax production controls over corn farmers. Benson recommended that Congress allow the Agriculture Department to set supports for corn as low as 70 per cent of parity for the next three years, and thereafter fix them as low as it wished or eliminate them altogether. • The law now requires that corn be supported at not less than 75 per cent and not more than 90 per cent of parity. At present parity prices, the 75 pe>- cent floor trans-

lates into a support price of $1.34 a bushel, and the 70 per cent floor amounts to $1.24 a bushel. Benson, who has already set 1957-crop support at $1.36 a bushel, would not say flatly whether that level might be changed, if Congress* approved- his lower floor price. Sen. George D. Aiken (Vt), senior Republican on the Senate Agriculture Committee and President Eisenhower’s top congressional lieutenant on farm legislation, told a reporter: . / “I don’t think Congress will accept the 70 per cent, floor." Rep. August H. Andresen (Minn), senior Republican on the House Agriculture Committee? said “I’m sticking with my bill.” Andresen’s bill would retain permanently the 75-90 corn supports. while permanently boosting the corn planting allotment to 51 million acres. Benson proposed that corn growers be permitted to plant 51 million acres for the next three years, but that planting restrictions be eliminated entirely after that. For the three-year period, both the administration plan and the Andresen bill would require farmers to put into the soil bank, an acreage equal to 15 per cent ot their planting allotment in order to be eligible for price support. Dairy Tour Planned , In County Feb. 20 Leo N. Seltenright, county extension agent, has received word from Purdue University that a dairy school conducted by a state extension specialist will be a tour on February 20 at 9:30 a.m. The specialist will discuss “Dairy leaks and how to stop them."

National Tea Lists Quarterly Dividend The board of directors of National Tea Co., at their regular January meeting, declared the first quarterly dividend for 1957 in the amount of 50 cents per share, according today’s announcement by H. V. McNamara, president. The dividend will be payable March 1, 1957, on all shares of the company’s $5 per value common stock on record as of February 14, 1957. This compares with a regular ' quarterly dividend of 50c per share paid on the common stock for the first quarter of 1956, and brings to a total of 50, the number of consecutive regular diviends paid on the company’s common stock since November, 1944.

Student Buzzes City In Stolen Airplane Hold Des Moines In Terror Four Hours DES MOINES. lowa API — A 23-year-old student pilot who stole a single-engine airplane and skimmed pver and between tall buildings in downtown Des Moines for four tense hours was under psychiatric examination today. Roy Soderquist, with 15 hours of student flying time to his credit. a frustrated desire to get into the Air Force and a warning that he was not yet ready to solo, apparently couldn’t wait. He held everyone in terror Tuesday, from politicians to department store clerks while he buzzed recklessly low over buildings and repeatedly circled the 50-foot. high statehouse dome before ending his airborne spree with an inept landing in a nearby cornfield. The “fantastic” episode began at noon Tuesday when Soderquist reported to Jim Dolezal, an instructor for the American Aviation Co., for his flying lesson. Dolezal said Soderquist walked toward the plane as if to climb in it but instead handed him a note threatening to shoot him in the leg unless he got out. Dolezal said he tried to dissuade Soderquist frorp the theft but he said the youth suddenly revealed a gun and said his “patience was running out.” Dolezal said he “got out in a hurry” and Soderquist took off on his first, and probably last, solo. Authorizes said he headed straight for the downtown area and began buzzing the city. Only Essentials By Hospital Patients Patients checking into the Fort Wayne Veterans administration hospital should bring only the essentials of personal possessions and just enough clothing for the trips to and from the hospital, Dr. R.

Reds Refuse Change On Formosa Stand Refuse To Renounce Any Use Os Force WASHINGTON (UP)—Red China is still stubbornly refusing to renounce use of force in the Formosa area, U.S. officials said today. / # Sixty - four meetings between American and Chinese Red diplomats at Geneva, Switzerland, have failed to budge the Chinese position. There is no sign, however, that the Communists are preparing for an invasion of Formosa, or that they will break off the Geneva talks which began Aug. 1, 1955. The latest report on the Geneva negotiations was obtained after the State Department charged Tuesday that Red China is holding 10 American civilians as prisoners in "cynical disregard” of a 16-month-old agreement to free them “expeditiously.” This agreement was signed at Geneva as part of the American-Red Chinese talks on the Formosa problem. Washington's statement on the prisoners reflected irritation with Chou En-lai, Red Chinese premier and foreign minister. The statement was issued after Chou said he would consider releasing the 10 Americans if the United States would free 33 Chinese which he claims this country is holding against their will. The State Department said "there is no truth” in Chou’s charge about Chinese being forcibly detained in this country. Reports Automobile Rifled Near Home Pastor Vergaro, of 1027 Krick street, reported to city police Tuesday night that someone entered his ear, which was parked in the alley by his home, and rifled the glove compartment. He stated that apparently nothing was taken. Pence Reappointed As Manager Os Inn INDIANAPOLIS (W — Oscar W.

South Bend's Central Tops Prep Quintets INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — South Bend Central’s unbeaten Bears registered a "clean sweep” today in the Indiana high school basketball poll, but the battle for “place" positions continued. All 18 ballots received for the seventh weekly United Press coaches poll had the South Benders. who closed business last week with a Ingame winning streak, front and center. Thirty-six votes back remained Terre Haute Gerstmeyer—still in second place despite a 76-74 loss to defending champion Greencastle in the thrilling Wabash Valley tourney finale last Saturday. Greencastle, unranked all year, climbed to 12th spot. Gary Roosevelt remained fourth and Marion sixth, but the six other positions changed hands. Lafayette, which upended Marion last Friday, 53-50, joined the “Big 10” for the first time in ninth place. Undefeated Evansville Lincoln, 19th five weeks ago, regained that spot. The Lions were 11th last week, Lafayette 12th. Indianapolis Tech, which blasted Muncie Central last week by 20 points, jumped from fifth to third, and Elkhart was promoted from eighth to seventh. Mupcie slipped from third to fifth. Hartford City, like Gerstmeyer beaten for the first time last Saturday, skidded from seventh to eighth. Michigan City and Shelbyville also were voted down, despite victories—the upstaters from ninth to 11th, Shelby from 10th to 14th. Indianapolis Tech faced the stiffest test this week. The Greenclads invade Marion Friday for a North Central Conference headliner. The breakdown, with first places and total points: 1. South Bend Central (18)....180 2. Terre Haute Gerstmeyer...l44 3.

(UP) —Western diplomats consulted privately today on a U.N. resolution to get Israel’s forces out of Egypt without reviving the possibility of border warfare. There was a growing demand for the use of U.N. Emergency Forces (UNEF) in disputed areas. The General Assembly recessed its Middle East debate and took up a study of South Africa’s partheid (total segregation) polfcies and the treatment of persons of Indian origin in that country. The Union of South Africa was boycotting the session. The Security Council called a meeting this afternoon to continue its debate on Kashmir. Since the last debate last week India ignored a council plea not to upset the status quo and took the final step to “integrate” the former princely state into its own territory. Tentative plans called for the General Assembly to meet again Friday on the Middle East. Western diplomats were holding a series of meetings on how to get Israeli forces out of the Gaza Strip and Aqaba Gulf areas and to make sure the areas will not be used for Egyptian military action. There appeared to be general agreement among the Western powers on the form of the resolution — tell Israel to get out of Egypt now, but to give Israel the guarantees against Egyptian aggression it has previously demanded. The Arabs, who were having little success in getting together on a resolution to discipline Israel, have argued that the Israelis have been directed by the assembly to leave Egypt and cannot attach any conditions to their withdrawal. - « Israel contends that to abandon the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba without guarantees against Egyptian military activities would open the way for unrestricted Egyptian raids cm Israeli settlements and shipping.
