One-Year Extension On Support Loans Advance Notice Is Given To Farmers Adams county farmers received advance notice today the pricesupport loans on farm-stored 1958crop grains will be eligible for a one-year extension when they mature in 1959. In announced the extension at this time, county agricultural stabilization and conservation committee chairman James Garboden said the purpose is to give farmers more time in which to make their storage plans for the future. The extension, Garboden said, applied in Indiana to 1958-crop barley, oats, rye and corn. The reseal program, Garboder pointed out, will give farmers an opportunity to earn substantial payments for the additional storage peroids and at the same time wil lhelp to ease the overall storage situation in a year of record grain supplies. “Payments earned under the reseal program, plus financing under the storage facility loan program,” Garboden said, “offer substantial aid to farmers in increasing their farm storage capacity. Farmers can add needed buildings to their farm plants and at the same time earn storage payments under the reseal program which will pay for the new space in three or four years’ time. This will help increase total storage facilities. It will afso keep grains stored on farms out here in the areas where most of the feed will eventually be consumed.

Millionaires Vie In New York Election Record Turnout ls_ Expected In State ALBANY, N.Y. (UPD — New York state voters decide today which of two multi-millionaires— Averell Harriman, Democratic incumbent or Nelson A. Rockefeller, Republican—will be their $50,000-a-year governor for the next four years. With 6,787,266 eligible to mark ballots, a record turnout for a gubernatorial year is expected. Fair weather is predicted throughout most of the state. Harriman and Rockefeller battled to the very end of what has been one of the longest, and probably the most expensive, campaigns for governor in the state’s history. Their election eve pleas for New Yorkers to go to the polls were sprinkled with promises, charges, and counter-charges. On the outcome depends their political futures and both have been mentioned as potential candidates for the 1960 presidential race. Most observers believed the contest would be close. Bookmakers were quoting 9 to 5 odds for Rockefeller Monday night. In one explosive last-minute development, the New York Post late Monday withdrew its endorsement of Harriman on the ground, publisher Dorothy Schiff wrote, that he had made a "snide insinuation that Nelson Rockefeller is pro-Arab and anti-Israel.” Harriman denied he had made such a charge but acknowledged that he had linked Rockefeller than a presidential assistant, with the Eisenhower administration’s “first appeasement of Naser” and it switch from President Truman’s pro-Israel policy to one of neutrality in the middle East. The newspaper did not endorse Rockefeller, but he messaged Mrs. Schiff his appreciation. The struggle between the governor, running With Democratic and Liberal Party backing, and

his Republican opponent has almost overshadowed the contest for U.S. senator between New York County (Manhattan! Dist. Atty. Frank S. Hogan, D-L, and Rep. Kenneth B. Keating, R, of Rochester. The vote Spread between the gubernatorial candidates will probably determine the senatorial race. A number of newspaper surveys have shown Hogan running ahead of Harriman and likely to win short of a Rockefeller, landslide.
