Increase In Farm Costs Is Foreseen WASHINGTON (UPD — T h e Agriculture Department said today farm costs will go higher in this year after reaching a record peak in 1958. Economists said the group of items expected to be' chiefly responsible for higher farm costs in 1959 include wage rates, taxes, farm real estate, farm machinery, motor vehicles. ’ motor supplies, building and fencing materials, and general farm supplies. The economists said that although prices paid for feeder and replacement livestock rose during the first four months of 1959, little, if any, further increase is expected in the prices paid for these livestock or for feed, seed, or fertilizer. Os the 12 major groups of farm production items, nine had higher cost tags in 1958 than in 1957. They were: wage rates, up 9 per cent: taxes, up 8 per cent; farm real estate, up 8 per cent; farm machinery, up 5 per cent; livestock, up 5 per cent; motor vehicles, up 3 per cent; feed, up 2 per cent; motor supplies, up 1 per cent; building and fencing materials, up 1 per cent.

Ex-Roommale Chops Up Coed's Face SWANNANOA, N.C. (UPD - A once-attractlve coed, her face “all chopped up” by a hatchet-wielding ex-roommate, may be disfigured for life—if she lives. “She may live, she may not live,” Buncombe County Sheriff Laurence Brown said. Rose Watterson, 20, was hacked in the face by Patricia Dennis, 21, who said she was “in a jeaous rage’ because Miss Watterson had “taken my friends from me,” Brown said. Miss Watterson, of the town of Guilford College, N.C., underwent extensive surgery Wednesday at Asheville near here. The attack occurred shortly before 5 a m. Tuesday as Miss Watterson slept in, her room at Warren Wilson Colelge, a Presbyterian institution here. Authorities said the hatchet left four deep gashes. Another student, Betty Ferrell, 20, of Orgas, W. Va., narrowly escaped serious injury when she attempted to disarm Miss Dennis. She suffered several cuts on the arm but her infjuries were not serious. Sheriff’s officers said Miss Dennis told them she had planned to go to Miss Watterson’s room at 2, a.m. but forgot to set her alarm clock and awoke "• at 4:40 a.m. Armed with the hatchet, she said, she crept into the sleeping girl’s room, quietly shut the door to the adjoining room and swung the hatchet. Miss Watterson’s cries woke others in the freshman dormitory. Brown said Miss Dennis, a plump, sad-eyed brunette, at first was “pretty close-mouthed” except to demand a lawyer. Later, however, she told a reporter. “I know what I’ve done and I’m going to pay for it. Whatever the court says.” Both girls were freshmen at the two-year liberal arts college here. Officials said they once had roomed together. Miss Dennis was held without bond on an open charge in the county jail at Asheville.

(UPD—The more than 5,000 students at the University of Notre Dame were urged today to get typhoid vaccinations after officials revealed • they had been exposed to the dsi- ■ ease by a woman employe in the ’ school’s bakery. t In the meantime, state and county health officials were at- ! tempting to learn where the ! bakery worker, Mrs. Mildred ’ Sahli, 51. South Bend, contracted ! the disease. 1 She was admitted to Memorial Hospital May 6 in poor condition, j! and diagnosed as a tyhpoid victim t May 11. Dr. Joseph J. Crowley, director j of student health services at Notre J Dame, said there was “no way of ’ telling how far she could have spread it had she not been isoB lated.” Crowley also said that student i inoculations were put on a voluntary basis, since “virtually all” 1 students had typhoid shots before e entering the iniiyersity.

Russia Appears Set For Long Conference GENEVA <UPI) — The Russians seem to have changed their mind about a short and snappy foreign ministers conference. They appeared today to be gearing for a protracted period of difficult negotiations. Three bits of evidence support this: —Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s sudden decision to visit Albania from , May 25 to June 6. —Khrushchev’s remark to a group of Americans in Moscow that if the foreign ministers do not succeed at first they should keep trying until they do. —A report that the Soviet delegation here had extended its contract for communications from Geneva to Moscow from June 8 to July 8. The motives for the Soviet change of heart have puzzled Westerners. Some were disturbed at the possibility of new surprises from the Russians. Khrushchev is understood to have been directing Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko almost step by step in the conference so far. It was considered unlikely he would igo to Albania for two weeks, where it will be more difficult to maintain this direct contact. unless he anticipated a period of wait-and-see tactics that would not produce any yital points needing his personal attention.

Rainfall'Erratic Throughout State United Press International Rain of varying volume plagued Indiana again today and Hoosiers were told they might as well get used to it. Scattered showers and-thunder-storms, served up daily this week, are on the menu for the rest of the week. They may fall in as erratic a pattern as those of the last 24 hours, which dropped only a trace on Lafayette and nearly two inches on Petersburg. Warm and humid weather was due to continue in central and southern Indiana at least through Saturday. Originally, it was scheduled to cover the north, too, but revised forecasts at noon indicated the northern third will experience a cool-off beginning Friday and continuing Saturday, when highs will range down to 65 upstate while hitting 83 downstate. The rainfall was erratic. While Lafayette’s for the 24 hours end.jpg -near dawn today was not to measure, a fiveinch’WnWpouf* hit Kankakee, 111., only 65 miles northwest of Lafayette and 20 miles from the Indi-ana-Illinois state line. Torrential rains also flooded basements and residential streets in Hammond, East Chicago and Highland in Indiana and some Chicago' suburbs in Illinois. Other rainfall totals reported by the Weather Bureau included .65 of an inch at Evansville. .49 at Fort Wayne, .40 at South Bend, 21 at Indianapolis, .84 at Warsaw, .26 at Terre Haute, .43 at Bedford, .76 at Vincennes.

Denver Minister To Head Presbyterians INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPD — A Denver minister, who once conducted funeral services for President Eisenhower’s father-in-law. today took over as the nation’s highest ranking Presbyterian. But Dr. Miller’s first day in office was marred by disclosure of a racial incident involving a Negro minister and an exclusive Indianapolis club. A spokesman for the 171st General Assembly to the United Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. said the Columbia Club refused Monday to honor the reservation of the Rev. Dr. Jesse Barber, a Negro delegate from New York. Sixty other delegates to the assembly left the club when Dr. Barber’s reservation was cancelled, the spokesman said. Dr." Barber, a former football star at Lincon University and a member of the Department of Evangelism of the church’s Board of National Missions, would say only that “it’s not an individual matter.” D. R. Wilson, manager of the Columbia Club, refused to speak with reporters. Dr. Miller, pastor of the Montview Boilevard Church in Denver, was elected moderator Wednesday on the first ballot by nearly 1,000 delegates attending the first day
