Benson's Policies Assailed By Union Political Motives Charged To Benson WASHINGTON (IB - Administration efforts to bolster feed grain markets and head off a collapse in hog prices next year are ' too little, too late,” the National Farmers Union said today. The farm group also charged that Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson’s recent moves to prevent a grain and hog price break were based on political mbtives. The organization, a frequent critic of administration farm policy, said Benson advocates policies which would lead to large supplies of feed grains at low prices. “But next year iis . . an election year, and Beryon is in unusually hot water politically,” the Farmers Union said in its newsletter. Some GOP political leaders have warned low hog prices next fall could damage the party's chances in next year’s congressional elections.

breaking 195 t feed grain crop in prospect, Benson announced he will offer price supports to farmers who ignored federal acreage controls in major corn producing areas. Ordinarily farmers who do not comply with acreage controls are denied supports. Benson, setting the “non-com-pliance" support rate at 81.10 per bushel, said he acted in an effort to stabilize grain prices and thus prevent a flood of hogs next year. Farmers normally increase hog production when feed prices are low. Agriculture Department reports indicate farmers plan'to increase pig production 7 per cent in March-May, 1958. Benson s “feeble gesture" will not "stem the flood of pork which is next year’s inevitable sequel to this year’s big and cheap feed crop,” the Farmers Union said. “Tiie farm debacle that is ahead for next year has been foreseen for at least two years by practically everybody under the sun—with the possible exception of Secretary Benson whose announcement indicates that It has only recently begun to dawn on him," the Farmers Union said. A recent Agriculture Department report said farmers reported plans to increase hog production 7 per cent in the December, 1957-February, 1958 quarter. Some department experts believe that in spite of the new corn crop program pig production for the six month period beginning Dec. 1 will be between 5 and 8 percent higher on the basis of past experience.

New Political Crisis Faces France Today French Government Collapses On Lack Os Confidence Vote PARIS (UP) — France was plunged today into its most difficult political crisis since World War 11. There was speculation Gen. Charles De Gaulle might be called from political retirement to save the Fourth Republic. The ' government of Premier Maurice Bourges-Maunoury fell on a vote of confidence shortly before midnight. The issue was his proposed law to give ignore home rule to rebellious Algeria, and the fight against it was led by fiery Conservative Jacques Soustelle. Never since the war has France been split so deeply on an issue as on Algeria. A solution appeared impossible and the influential Paris newspaper La Monde warned that the crisis may be so big there may even be a “call to De Gaulle.” De Gaulle retired from active politics in 1952 after helping form the Fourth Republic at end of World War II and twice serving as premier. France's splintered National Assembly voted 279-253 against Bourges - Maunoury’s “framework law” for Algeria and the 109day government fell with a crash, triggered by Soustelle’s declaration the plan would lead Algeria to independence. It was the 23rd postwar government. President Rene Coty refused to accept Bourges-Maunoury's resignation but that was a routine move which means only he will remain as a “caretaker” premier until a new government can be formed. But it meant France began the day with no formal government. Tradition decreed that Coty would turn first to Soustelle though his talks today were little more than formalities and it appeared impossible that Soustelle, a rightwing Conservative, ever could muster enough votes to win approval.

State Tomato Crop Is Below Average Rain, Cool Weather Cut Indiana's Crop INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Cool weather throughout September kept the Indiana tomato crop below average and prompted some canning plants to quit operations. The Indiana Employment Security Division made that report today in its weekly farm labor bulletin. “With cool weather causing a below-average,,, tomato. crop/.’. jhe bulletin's summary said, ‘‘some processors have ceased operations. Others are leveling off activities. Spot labor shortages have been satisfied by shifting available workers to areas of need." The bulletin showed that 7,98 C out-of-area workers were employed during the past week. It also reported that: Light tonnage of tomatoes prevented processing plants from running full time in the Anderson area. Two processing plants in the Columbus area ceased operations as tomatoes were delivered slowly. Processing plants were on limited operations due to slow ripening in the Connersville area. Heavy rains caused tomatoes to crack open and deteriorate in the Fort Wayne area, but there was “still a chance of soipe good tomatoes.” The late tomato crop was not Up to expectations in the Indianapolis area. Rain and cool weather held up the tomato pack in the Kokomo area. - ............... - Tomato quality poor around Lawrenceburg because of rain and cool weather.

Rules Are Adopted For Aid To Schools Financial Aid For Hard-Pressed Units INDIANAPOLIS (IB — The Indiana Legislative Advisory Commission today adopted rules by which financially hard-pressed school corporations may apply for state aid from a three million dollar fund created by the 1957 Legislature. The commission was given the responsibility of setting up rules, and State School Supt. Wilbur Young said one application already has been received — from Laurel Twp. (Franklin Co.) where a boiler was declared unfit in a grade school and $2,500 is needed to replace It. The commission said applications would be honored only from school corporations' which have levied the maximum school tax rate of $3.65 and have exhausted “all legal methods of raising funds.” However, the commission said if a school does not meet the maximum tax requirements it still can apply as a "special case” for loan or grant consideration on a “special basis.” Admit Supermarket Robbery At Warsaw Pair Also Planned Two Bank Holdups WARSAW, Ind. (IB — A convicted bank robber and a companion who confessed they planned two bank holdups faced charges today in connection with a sll2 supermarket holdup.

Police said they admitted the supermarket robbery last Friday and in their statement said they plotted to hold up the Etna Bank in Etna Green and a bank in Bourbon. Authorities said witnesses to the supermarket robbery led them to the pair. Two women, Helen Taulbee, 28. and Nancy Harmon, 18, both also of Warsaw, were charged with receiving stolen property. They were with the men when they were arrested.

The gunmen then disarmed Deputy Sheriff Clyde Perkins and fled in his car, taking Perkins as a hostage.

During the long night, police cars cruised adjacent roads and fields, their spotlights sweeping the area to pick out the fugitive should he try to escape. Other police patrolled the area on foot. During their flight through Michigan Monday, the bandits abducted Harry Crowe, 71. a factory worker, and took his car. leaving Crowe bound and gagged nearby. They later stopped Mrs. Gordon Le Cronier near Clinton, Mich., and convinced her they were FBI agents. They took her car and released her unhurt. •Mrs. Le Cronier said the* men were carrying “a whole bunch of hundred-dollar bills.”

Red's Iron Curtain For Earth Satellite Refuse To Divulge Technical Details . WASHINGTON OPI — Russian scientists have built a new Iron Curtain —around their earth satellite this time—a—nd U. S. scientists today were somewhere between frustration and exasperation over the whole thing. Both this country and Russia announced two years they would try to launch artificial moons during the International Geophysical Year (IGY). IGY is a cooperative venture of the world’s scientists to amass knowledge about the planet and its role in space. This country has told practically all about its satellite program. The Russians have told practically nothing about theirs. „ ■ This week Soviet science had another opportunity to talk—at a 13-nation conference here on IGY rocket and satellite programs. At the opening session of the six-day conference Monday the Russian delegates passed up all opportunities to divulge technical details other nations must have if

they are to cooperate in tracking the Soviet moons. Moreover they disclosed the Soviet satellites will broadcast their position-spotting radio signals on a frequency far different from that long ago adopted by the U.S. program. This apparently will have the effect of making .10 costly “minitrack” stations, set up by this and cooperating countries for the U. S. satellite, useless in tracking the Soviet moon.
