THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Reduce Government Outlay For Co-ops WASHINGTON (UPD—The administration was reported today readying for Congress legislation to reduce government outlays in loans to rural electric and telephone cooperatives. Authoritative sources said the administration plan would provide for loans from a revolving fund consisting partly of government money and partly cf private funds raised through sale of notes or debentures. Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson told the Senate Agriculture Committee Tuesday that the administration plan would include a provision under which individual cooperatives could go to private lenders for financinfe if they wanted to. Under the present law, about 1,000 rural electric get funds for new lines and plants by borrowing at a fixed 2 per cent interest rate from the Agriculture Department's Rural Electrification Administration. Rural telephone systems can borrow under similar terms. Loans are expected to total 325 million dollars in the next fiscal year. The administration is asking Congress to provide, in addition to the private finaneng plan, for a boost in the rate on federalmoney REA loans. But Sen. Wayne Morse <D-Ore.> told the Senate late Tuesday that Eisenhower’s demand for increased interest rates would be a “death warrant” to many rural power co-ops. It is Eisenhower’s contention that REA borrowers should be paying at least the interest rate the government pays for its money, rather than the present 2 per cent. But Morse said “I for one am not ready to feed these people to the money-lending lions, and— I don’t believe my colleagues are ready to do that, either.” Congressional leaders in both pnrti»g ha vp predicted that both administration requests will be turned down. The new privatefinancing plan was redesigned to meet complaints that jt would leave rural cooperatives at the “mercy of Wall Street bankers.” Poland And Russia Conclude Trade Pact WARSAW i UPD — Poland and the Soviet Union have concludeda trade, agreement that will bring thousands of Russian watches, refrigerators and washing machines into Poland. Poland will send clothing, textiles, apples, toys and fancy goods to the Soviet Union.

Nikita Warns West's Powers Against Force MOSCOW (UPD — Soviet Premier Nikita S. JChrushchev, in a speech released today, warned that any Western attempt to use force to break through to Berlin by land, sea or air would be met with force. He said in a speech at Tula Tuesday night that Soviet troops were not stationed in East Germany just to play games. The Western powers, in notes delivered Monday, rejected Soviet proposals to end the occupation of Berlin. The United States. Britain and France also reiterated their determination to “uphold by all appropriate means” their rights of access to West Berlin. West Awaits Reply The Soviet government has ndt yet replied to the Big Three Western notes which suggested a Big Four foreign ministers conference to discuss the problem of Germany. Khrushchev's speech at Tula, 105 miles south of Moscow, was reported by the official Soviet news agency Tass. Khrushchev warned that if anyone opened fire over Berlin: “This will mean the beginning of war.” He called for agreement on a peace treaty with Germany and again reiterated that all nations were open to “great destruction” from modern weapons. Asks Peace Treaty “We understand this well and ' therefore we say: Let us sign a ■ peace treaty,” Khrushchev said. Khrushchev said that “some ' leaders of the Western powers say that even if the U.S.S.R. should hand over to East Germany her a rights arising from treaties sigrjed by Britain, the United States* France and the U.S:S?R. concerning these rights, the Western powers would not accept the transfer of these rights.” “To this, one can reply," Khrushchev added, "you gentlemen can accept or not accept this, but East Germany will not cease to exist because of that.’ Dave Beck Trial To Go To Jurors Today ' TACOMA.” Wash. <UPD--Dave Beck’s income tax evasion trial will go to the jury today following filial instructions by the presiding jlidge. U.S: District Judge George H. Boldt will instruct the jury of eight men and four women, and the case now in its 60th day. was expected to reach the jury by 3 p.m. c.s.t. Beck, portly 63-year-old former president of the Teamsters Union, was accused of evading more than $240,000 in income tax payments for the years 1950 through 1953. During the complicated and leugthy trial: ih< government cajled more than 100 Witnesses. - Charles Burden, chief defense attorney for Beck, called but one. He was Carl Houston, an accountant, who helped make out Beck’s tax returns and set up his bookkeeping system. “Dave, I’m sure wanted to take the stand," Burdell said. “But I told l)im the government didn’t have a case, so the heck with it—let's get on with it.” Burdell said the decision to close his case after Houston’s testimony was “my decision alone.” SBfosjpifeiD ADMITTED Mrs. Richard Burrell, city; Master Steven Thieme, Decatur.

Vanguard Step Up For Forecasting WASHINGTON (UPD—Scientists fondly described the world’s first weather satellite today as “crude and primitive” but bearing the seeds of revolution. Vangutfrd 11, launched Tuesday at Cape Canaveral, Fla., will do today’s forecasters no good. But its descendants, weather experts predicted, will: —Spot the birth, track, and report the intensity of hurricanes, and possibly tornadoes. —For the first time observe and report global weather on a global basis. —Make possible accurate longrange forecasts and, perhaps, predictions of climate changes centuries in the making. —Give man the fuller understanding of weather he must have before he can hope to control it. Carries Photocells Vanguard 11, a 20-inch sphere weighing 21% pounds, is circling the globe every 126 minutes in an orbit which will keep it aloft — estimates vary — from 10 to hundreds of years and perhaps forever. It carries little photocells which scan the cloud cover on a band of earth about 600 miles wide north of the equator. The photocells’ information, dispatched to earth by radio, produce when run through a computer and thence to a screen something that looks like a TV picture of cloud masses. Vanguard Il’s information is expected to contribute largely to information on the relation of - cloud cover to weather- But its instruments have a designed lifetime of only two weeks—-and it will take about two weeks to [process and interpret each broadcast from the satellite. So daily forecasts won't benefit from them. See Great Future But Vanguard H’s place in history is expected to be considerably larger than its immediate contribution to weather science. Dr. Harry Wexler, chief of the Weather Bureau’s scientific services division, said the little moon’s efforts are like "tryng to take a picture with a light meter Instead of a camera,” New Service Station Planned At Five Points Workmen are in the process of removing the old Anker residence and service station buildings at Five Points to make way for a new modern service station being planned by National Oil company. Monday, workmen from Yost Construction company began . removing the old service station building which sat on the northwest corner of Five Points. Tuesday and today the large house which sat directly behind the station building was started. It was stated today that the National Oil company of Bluffton is planning a new Pure Oil station for the site. Plans and specifications of the hew proposed building were not available today. Eisenhower Attends Symphony Concert WASHINGTON (UPD — President Eisenhower attended a concert by the National Symphony Tuesday night and listened to a program of music by the German composer, Johann Sebastian Bach.

a dozen or more notorious underworld figures who either were Involved in making loans/or receiving them. Working with Bernoff, he said, he and others made loans at “shylocking” interest rates to hoodlums involved in a wide range of rackets. ’“lt didn't make no difference,” Mishel said, "money ik money." He said he drew the line at financing narcotics operations but learned later that some of the loans went into those channels too. Mishel said he also made loans to taverns and used them as pressure to make the owners install _ ■ Bernoff’s juke boxes. Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) closed out Tuesday’s hearing with a blast at Teamster Local 266 and its president, Joseph DeGrandis. He charged that the, union label o __ has become a “badge of extortion" in the New York area because of the local’s alleged tieups with mobsters and shady coin machine operators. DeGrandis invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked whether the local was a tool of racketeers trying to monopolize the coin machine business.
