Secy. Benson Assailed On Senate Floor WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Senate today tackled'a variety of controversial suggestions on how to halt the steadily growing wheat surplus. I One by Sen. John J. Williams (R-Del.) would place ta $35,900 ceiling on price support loans. This would amend a measure measure passed by the House this week calling for a $50,000 limit on such loans for all crops. Sen. Milton R. Young (R-N.D.) charged during debate that Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson made “the most absurd, ignoramus statement I have ever seeh issued” in opposing the Senate Agriculture Committee’s wheat bill. Young said Benson was “completely erroneous” in his statement that the bill would cost more than the present wheat program. Benson also was attacked on the Senate floor by Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt). Aiken accused the secretary of trying to set up a bank to finance rural power and telephone development and thus put farmers “still more under the thumb” of big business. Wtih wheat the nation's num>>er one farm problem, and with several factions clamoring for adoption of their means of dealing with it, a bitter fight was shaping up in the Senate. I The proposals ranged all the way from a- measure to raise price supports even more to One which do away with supports altogether. Other congressional news: Radiation; An argument broke out before the joint Atomic EnCTgy Committee as to whether the federal government or the states should take the lead in protecting citizens from radiation hazards. A U.S. Chamber of Commerce spokesman testified that local governments could best assure safety in the growth of atomic industry. But an AFLCIO witness argued that the federal government should have even more responsibility in the field and “we oppose any dilution of this responsibility by farming it out to the states.” v Smut: Chairman Kathryn E. Granahan (D-Pa.) told her House post office subcommittee decent citizens must “unite in a crusade against the dealers of smut and filth.” Dr. Clyde! Taylor of the National Association of Evangelicals said Communists may be distributing obscene literature in a scheme "to morally sabotage American youth.” Miss Sally Butler said the General .federation of Women’s Clubs is planning an organized drive to halt the mailing of obscene material to chil-1 dren. -

Gromyko had been accusing West Germany of rearming to war against Russia. Herter said: “I hope that in the course of the discussions, as they will proceed in the future, tills type of accusation and innuendo will cease, and that it will not, if repeated. lead to a type of discussion which can become a very great irritant, and more than that, might well lead to very serious tensions.”

Housing Measure Is Approved By House ! WASHINGTON (UPD - House . Republican Leader Charles A. J Halleck (Ind.) said today he saw . no hope the Democratic housing t bill would emerge from Congress in a form that would escape a presidential veto. Halleck commented after the House Thursday approved catchall legislation to expand federal spending on housing far beyond the level recommended by President Eisenhower. The Democratic - controlled t House squelched every attempt to [ pare the bill and bring it more . closely in line with Eisenhower's J proposals. The vote on passage was 261-160. A House-Senate conference copi- [ Inittee now will try to hammer . out a compromise between the; varying versions passed by thetwo branches of Congres. | Halleck told a reporter that House Democrats “overreached themselves” in refusing to scale down their bill, which carried authority for 140.000 new public housing units as well as spending of $2,100,000,000 for slum clearance and other programs. He predicted that the final compromise between the House bill and the Senate version, which carried $2,650,000,000 plus 45,000' public housing units, would be “way beyond” Eisenhower’s budget recommendations.

Smell Os Collusion In Attack On FBI By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International WASHINGTON (UPD —"Man suffers stroke,” it says here, “■after lynching quiz.” “FBI under fire,” it says on another page. "On charges of tough tactics.” 1 The foregoing is a headline style summation of reports from Poplarville, Miss., on the efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to Sna-’C the lynchers of a Negro narhed Mack Charles Parker. 1 1 Mighty near everyone wishes Director J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI well in their effort to put the law on the Mississippi lynchers. It was a chilling crime, regardless of Parker’? guilt aoout which law enfgtcen ent officials have nd doubt. Neither did the FBI doubt its own ability to net the nine white men who murdered Parker. Will Know Names The reasoning of lawmen that they would take the lynchers into custody went like this: There were nine >f them and the community is small. Among nine conspirators in such an event* one, at least, is bound to talk. The talk will get around and in time it will get around enough so that the lynchers will become known by name. That seems to be what is taking place now in and around Poplarville. This is accompanied, however, by what seems to be a collusive effort among some of the Mississippians on the scene to discredit the FBI. If the FBI could be sufficiently discredited it might be that the lynchers would get off unharmed, even if their names became known. The implications of the news reports out of Poplarville are that the FBI is doing a rubber-hose or bare-knuckle job on the suspects. No one says just that, precisely, but the shadow of doubt and suspicion is put upon FBI methods by such reports as that one which said a Mississippian involved had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage; after questioning by the FBI. “FBI agents took him from his home,” the story relayed. The agents were described as putting suspects under day-and-night observation and so thereby shattering their health and mental processes. Sme! of Collusion The wife of another suspect was reported under medical care, the soiA-scorching treatment of her husband by the alien federal agents having rubbed off harmfully on her psyche.

widespread circulation of the report that one suspect had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage after FBI questioning, the diagnosing physician said well, maybe the man didn’t suffer such an attack at all. The yarn was on its way. however, and the nation’s FBI haters had another scrap of scrambled evidence to support their demand that the organization be dismantled. Thdke is a smell of collusion in the developments reported from Poplarville—a smell of collusion amoung some of the townspeople to discredit the FBI quickly before the agents can bring to justice the lynchers of Parker. The newsmen on the scene are quoting the various local spokesmen accurately, no doubt. Perhaps to keep the record straight the reporters should probe deeper ami demand to know whether FBI agents actually have abused then authority and responsibility to investigate. Events will prove the FBI clean of brutal tactics. Hoover and the FBI have been very reluctant to answer these accusations which, in fact, are mere insinuations—a nasty kind of double talk.
