Cost-Price Squeeze Tightens On Farmer Price Boost Offset By Farmers' Cost r WASHINGTON (UP)—The costprice squeeze gripped farmers a trifle more in the month ended Jan. 15, according to the Agriculture Department’s monthly farm price report Wednesday. Prices farmers received for crops and livestock rose four-tenths of 1 per cent for the month. At the same time, the cost of things the farmer must buy rose two-thirds of 1 per cent This brought the index of prices paid by farmers to an all-time high of 292 per cent of the 4914,14 base period. The department noted that “although the parity index (of prices paid by farmers* increased somewhat -more than farm product prices, the parity ratio remained at 82,” the same as for December. The parity ratio in January, 1956, was 80. Hie department said farmers got “substantial” price, increases for meat animals plus smaller increases for fruit and grain crops. This more than offset lower "prices for commercial ’vegetables, eggs, dairy products, and cotton. The index of prices received stood at 238 per cent of the base period. This compares with 237 per ceiit in mi*d-December and is 5.3 per cent above the index 0f226 per cent for mid-January, 1956. If you harw something to mH or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad.

Curtain Os Secrecy On Briefcase Theft Contained Valuable Government Papers CHICAGO (UP*—The FBI lowered a curtain of secrecy today in its investigation of the theft of a briefcase containing valuable government documents from a physicist. Fletcher C. Paddison, Bethesda, Md., a physicist with johns "Hopkins University, told police the case disappeared while he made a telephone call at the Illinois Central Railway station. Newsmen were prevented by FBI agents from questioning Paddison. The FBI was notified of the theft immediately, by city police. "That bag apparently contained some real dynamite,” Police Capt. John Golden said. Authorities said Paddison told them he placed the case at his feet while making the call. When he finished, the case was gone, he said. The physicist told police he*was en route from Washington, to the Bendix guided missile' plant at South Bend, Ind. He said he had arrived here by plane and was planning to resume his journey by train. Urges Joint Action On Newprint Boost

U.S. And Canadian Action Requested WASHINGTON (UP) — Sen. Charles E. Potter (R-Mich) has urged joint U.S.-Canadian action to crack down on suspected illegal practices involved in the current rise in newsprint prices. ... Potter told the Senate Wednesday that he has written to the State Department asking “that conversations on a diplomatic level be initiated, with the view of developing a bilateral Investigation.” He said the two countries should launch a “vigorous search” for offenders. Potter also said there are a number of questions facing the forthcoming newsprint investigation of the Senate Commerce Committee. The inquiry is scheduled to get underway on Feb. 26. Among the questions needed to be answered, Potter said, are: “Are Canadian newsprint mill owners deliberately milking the United States publisher dry? "Is a Canadian-United States cartel in operation, fixing prices and restricting trade on both sides of the border? "Are these price rises and exorbitant profits instigated by U.S. investors in Canadian firms?” Potter nointed out.,that American publishers are almost completely dependent on Canadian sources of newsprint. “In 1956 we imported almost 7 million tons of newsprint from Canada,” he said. “Our own domestic production ran in the neighborhood of 1% million tons for the year.” Six Canadian mills and one U.S. firm recently announced a rise of $4 a ton in the cost of newsprint.

Mad Bomber Stands Silent At Hearing Arraigned Today On 47-Count Charges NEW YORK IW — George Metesky stood mute at his arraignment today on a 47-count indictment for his 16 years of “mad bombing." Seven counts of the bill charge attempted murder. Attorneys James D. C. Murray and Harry F. Spellman told General Sessions Judge Louis Capozzoli that Metesky was "unable to understand the charges” and asked that his pleading be postponed until completion of psychiatric examination. “• Metesky was returned from court to Bellevue Hospital after the brief hearing. If found sane and convicted, the 53-year-old Waterbury, Conn., toolmaker could receive sentences totaling 815 years. If brought to trial —a contingency deemed unlikely by many legal experts and psychiatrists—Metesky is expected to plead innocent by reason of insanity. . Metesky, who was seized Jan. 22, now is undergoing psychiatric examination which will determine if he must stand trial or be committed to a mental hospital. If committed and subsequently cured, he would have to stand trial. Metesky, a bachelor, said he planted 34 bombs to publicize a grievance against the Consolidated
