Asks Billion Reduction In Farm Budget Major Reduction In Soil Bank Program And Price Supports WASHINGTON (UP!) — President Eisenhower today asked Congress to slash almost a billion dollars from the farm benefit budget. The cut would be mostly in the soil bank and price support programs. He said legislation to revise the price support system is “urgently needed.” He promised to spell out recommendations for a change in ,a special message later. The second major reduction was $238,000,000 in Commodity Credit Corp, outlay for price supports. The 1958 crop, 11 per cent larger than any other, caused fiscal 1958 spending for price supports to jump to $3,118,071,000. He estimated $2,872,435,000 would do the job in fiscal 1960. Eisenhower noted that this estimate easily could go awry, because of the many uncertainties with respect to future production, consumption, and exports of farm commodities. In making the estimate of money needed for price supports. Eisenhower assumed that yields for the 1959 growing season would equal the average yields of the past three years, somewhat shy of 1958 production. A department official indicated this and other assumptions were based on policy and not statistical information. The President also assumed the 1959 crop would be lower in spite of the fact that several million acres held out of production through the acreage reserve last year would be available for cultivation in 1959. More REA Spending He estimated about $117,000,000 could be saved in various other activities of the Commodity Credit Corp, including emergency famine relief to friendly peoples abroad,, the international Wheat agreement, sale of surplus commodities for foreign currencies, and a reduction in soil bank financing. He programmed an expenditure of $342,000,000 for the conservation reserve section of the soil bank, up $197,000,000 from 1958. This is the long-range section of the soild bank, involving conservation contracts of 3,5, or 10 years. He asked that spending for the agricultural conservation progranf service be cut to $100,000,000 ini the 1980 crop year. Spending fort fiscal 1960 already has been set at $197,000,000. He estimated expenditures for the Rural Electrification Admin- ! istration in fiscal 1960 at $335,000.000, up $10,000,000 from fiscal 1959. j Proposed expenditures for other (department programs were approximately the same as for fiscal ■ 1959. - - , Eisenhower asked that the department be allowed to “assist” both electric and telephone borrowers to obtain financing from •private sources. In effect, this Would raise the interest rates on REA loans from th present 2 per cent. Congress turned down this proposal last year. .' • ' """ " " ' Three Youths Admit Breakin At Station Three youths from Decatirf admitted to law authorities Saturday night a break-in at the Decatur Oil company and service station at the corner of Seventh street and Nuttman avenue, the break-in occurred earlier in the evening, authorities stated today.

Display Hay Crusher Machines At Purdue Farm Science Days An opportunity to inspect carefully the best collection of a particular machine ever on the Purdue University campus will be afforded those attending farm science days this week. The largest laboratory of the agricultural engineering building will be used to exhibit hay crushers, Crimpers, conditioners and choppers with crusher attachments. This exhibit will be ready for inspection Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 20, and will remain open until Friday, Jan. 23. Ten manufacturers will place these machines on exhibit with the accent on providing Indiana farmers a chance to see how complete a line industry has produced. AU the types of machines will be available for inspection. These include the smooth roU crushers, corrugated roll machines, tour roll machine, crusher with rubber rolls and forage choppers with attachments to convert to crushing hay.

Fidel Castro Bids Critics Attend Trial Foremost Critics In U.S. Congress Invited To Trial By FRANCIS L. MCCARTHY United Press International HAVANA (UPD—Fidel Castro today invited his foremost critics in the U.S. Congress to fly tp Havana Wednesday with 350 foreign newsmen in “operation truth” to see for themselves the inside story of revolutionary justice. Those invited included chairmen of key committees in the House and Senate and the more vocal ■critics who have caUed for a U.N. investigation of mass killings, a ( trade arid tourist and la Sharp cut in sugar import quotas to halt the executions. They were Sens. John Sparkman (D-Ala.) who asked the United States to use its “very best offices” to halt the executions; Theodore Green (D-R.1.) chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee: Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) chairman of the Latin American subcommittee: Mansfield <D - Wyo.l. assistant Democratic leader in the Senate; and Homer Capehart (R-Ind.l. Hopes To Still Criticism The representatives invited were Charles O. Porter (D-Ore.);, Emmanuel Celler <D - N.Y.) who asked a U.N. investigation: Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.); Victor L. Anfuso (D-N.Y.), who called for a sugar import curb; and Wayne L. Hays <D-Ohio), chairman of the House Foreign affairs Latin American subcommittee, who called for a trade and tourist embargo. Castro issued the invitation in hopes of stilling growing criticism in tire United States against the trial and execution of more than 200 “war criminals” accused of murders and other crimes while they were serving Fulgencio Batista. Reliable sources said meanwhile Castro would fly to Caracas on Friday for a two-day visit as guest of the Venezuelan newsmen he has invited here and to thank the Venezuelan people for their contribution to the Cuban revolution. Castro was getting increasing support at home for his campaign against the Batistianos whom the revolutionary government has accused of murdering 20,000 men, women arid children during the six-year Batista regime. Bishop Approves Executions Msgr. Alfredo Muller, auxiliary bishop of Havana who is the N 0.2 Roman Catholic cleric in Cuba, said he and the church were usually opposed to capital punishment “but in the case of the cur- ' rent proceedings here in Cuba it is justified.”
