Says Congress To Reject New Plea By Benson Secretary Benson Asks Authority To Cut Price Support WASHINGTON (UP)-Chairman Harold D. Cooley of the House Agriculture Committee said today Congress will reject Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson’s plea for authority to reduce price supports on basic crops. The North Carolina Democrat predicted Benson’s proposal would not win support of a majority of committee Republicans, much less Democratic members. He made the statement in an interview after assuring Benson the committee would carefully consider his proposals as soon as his department drafts them into legislation. The Agriculture secretary contended at an all-day hearing before the committee Thursday that greater flexibility in setting price supports is needed to expand markets and to ease up on present rigid controls over plantings of basic crops. Agree On Overhaul Supports' presently range from 75 to 90 per cent of parity. Benson wants authority to fix supports at levels ranging from 60 to 90 per cent or from zero to 90 per cent. Committee Democrats and Republicans generally agreed on the need for overhauling the farm program which has resulted in tight production controls on such major export crops as cotton, wheat and rice. But few enthusiastically embraced Benson’s views and there also appeared to be little agreements among the farm law writers on any alternative program. Significantly, there was little clamor among committee Democrats for a return to rigid 90 per cent support prices. They backed such legislation last year but President Eisenhower vetoed IL Rep. Thomas G. Abernethy (DMiss.l, who has endorsed rigid supports in the past, told Benson “I'm reluctantly going to concede the department is right when it says the price of our commodities —many of them—have taken away markets.’’. Suggest Other Plans But Abernethy and several other committee members said they fa, vored a two-price plan—opposed by the department—for such big export crops as wheat and cotton. Under such a plan growers would receive higher prices for their domestic quotas but would sell the remainder of their products at competitive world prices. Production would be unrestricted. Rep. Coya Knutson (D-Minn.) suggested it would be '“a lot simpler to start over again on the farm program and provide production payments.” Under this plan the government instead of propping market prices would pay farmers the difference between a so-called “fair price” and whatever tlfeir products would bring on a free market. "I think,” Benson retorted, “that farmers want to produce for the market and not f*r a government salary.” He said such a program to support major farm products at 90 per cent of parity would have amounted to about five billion dollars last year.

Studying Speech By Polish Leader May Bring Change In American Policy WASHINGTON (ffl — U. S. officials today studied an important speech 'by Poland’s Communist leader Wladyslaw Gomulka to determine whether any change in American policy toward Poland may be necessary. The tentative estimate here was that the speech itself does not call for any policy change. But final judgment ‘ was reserved pending receipt of a full text of the Comunist Central Committee meeting in Warsaw. Poland and the United States are in the final stages of negotiating a 95 million dollar American aid agreement. These negotiations began in February after the Eisenhower administration found i twould be in this country’s best interests to give Poland an , economic shot-in-the-arm. t , This decision followed Poland's moves last fall »to loosen its oncefirm ties to Moscow. .Any drastic switch now in Polish policy, therefore, undoubtedly would bring about a similar adjustment in American policy. Officials said there was no sign Gomulka had retreated from his previous position that a distinctly Polish road to socialism could be followed as opposed to a distinctly Soviet road. He stopped short of following Yugoslavia’s all - out criticsm of the Soviet system.

Commits Suicide Alter Pal's Death Logansport Teacher Grieves Ove> Death BRAZIL, Ind. (W — Marvin T. Chappelow, 30, Connersville, a Logansport school teacher, killed himself Thursday while grieving over the death of his teacher roommate. Chappelow’s body was found in his automobile near an abandoned coal mine, a length of garden hose stretched from the exhaust tailpipe into the car. A coroner ruled suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. A note in the car said: “I don’t want anything Kenny couldn’t have. My world ended Saturday evening.” He apparently referred to Kenneth Eardley, 30, also a Logansport teacher, who died of a heart attack last Saturday in a Brazil hospital. Chappelow was a casket bearer at the funeral Tuesday and remained here afterward.

(fwtematioMaD Japanese Students Protest Bomb Test Gather At British Embassy At Tokyo TOKYO (UP) — Ten thousand jeering Japanese students waving banners proclaiming "British Fools" and "Ban H-Bomb Tests” converged on the British Embassy today and put it in a virtual state of siege. More than 1,000 police were rushed to the embassy armed with long white riot sticks, pistols, short clubs and tear gas to stop the demonstrators against Britain’s current Pacific H-bomb tests from forcing their way into the compound. The compound gates were locked and no one could get in or out. Embassy personnel were virtual prisoners. After the leftist - inspired demonstration had gone on for several hours, the embassy agreed to receive a delegation of four student leaders. The four were pushed out of the compound shortly afterward by C. F. Hill, second secretary of the embassy, Who said they had become abusive inside the embassy. No serious violence was reported but one group of 25 youths and adults who squatted in the embassy driveway and hurled leaflets in the air was hauled away in police vans. As evening approached the demonstrators gave no sign of dispersing and police prepared for an all night vigil. However, shortly before dark the students started drifting off and the demonstration broke up. Some went to a downtown park where another group was staging a "lantern” protest. 7 Holy Hour Sunday For Catholic Men The southeast district diocesan council of Catholic men will hold the monthly holy hour at St. Rose Catholic church in Monroeville, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock.
