Symington Proposes Broad Farm Program LONG BEACH. Calif. (UPI> - Sen Stuart Symington ID-Mo.) proposed today a broad six-point farm bill aimed at helping the small farmer In a speech before some 2,000 members of the National Grange. “The farm program of the present administration is an obvious waste of both food and money.” said Symington in a speech prepared for delivery before the 93rd annual convention of the National Grange. He said the major purpose of the bill would be to “bring to the efficient family-sized farmer .a return on his investment, labor and managerial ability reasonably comparable to the returns received by people in other segments of the economy." Symington, a hopeful for the Democratic presidential nomination, said enactment of his pro-

posal would help the small farmer “at far less cost to the taxpayers than the cost of the present policies.” Symington promised to introduce the proposal as soon as Congress convenes in January. Symington, here on a week-long political pulse-feeling tour, said his proposal included: —Giving farmers a greater voice in farm policies. —lnstituting modern production and supply control measures to balance farm production with market. v —Set price supports in relation to costs of production, increased efficiency and modern technology. —Maintain long-term conservation programs "whereby land unneeded or unsuited to efficient production is either returned to its original cover or re-forested." —Establish food program to insure an abundant supply of high quality foods for use here and also for promoting world peace throughout the world. —Create a special agency within the Department of Agriculture to deal with problems of the na-

I tion’s farm families of low income. The grange Wednesday request■ed a representative of the federal government explain the facts leadling to the "prohibition of the j marketing of cranberries on suspicion of adulteration.” The grange convention, which got underway Monday, will end next Tuesday. < Says Property Tax Burden Too Heavy INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A state Chamber of Commerce official warned today that the property tax burden in some Indiana communities “is causing a desperate situation.” John V. Barnett, director of the Chamber’s taxation department, told a municipal study committee that the solution may lay in “a broadening of local tax authority.” "The pattern of need for assist-! ance is not uniform throughout Indiana,” Barnett said. “Some’ cities are blessed with a good utility income. Others have big property owners who carry the load. Still others have virtually nothing." Barnett said the Chamber has never taken a definite stand on the local tax problem. "We represent all the cities and they do not all hold the same view,” he said. “For example, Indianapolis and Columbus are for broadening the local tax authority. Others are against it." Barnett told the Legislative Advisory Commission’s subcommittee that the local tax authority has been extended in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, among others j with success. He said Pennsylvania allows communities to levy any tax not already preempted by the state. One member of the committee suggested that the state set a maximum property tax rate of $5 and that the state supply any money needed in excess of that amount. Barnett said that plan had several loopholes. "We must keep people in the local community cost - conscious," he said. “If the state gave money indiscriminately, some cities would tend to live it up at state expense." Barnett said one of the big problems was the rate of assessment used in various cities. He said Gary, for example, had a tax rate of close to $lO. But he said that was not a true picture since property was assessed at only 20 per cent of its true value.

Four Are Injured In Jail Break Attempt GREENCASTLE, Ind. (UPD— Two prisoners, a plumber and a sheriff’s officer were injured Wednesday in a wild skirmish during an attempt to break out of the Putnam County Jail, authorities revealed today. Sheriff Kenneth Knauer disclosed that three prisoners grabbed Greencastle p1 u m ber Eddie Buis while he was in the jail making repairs to plumbing and held a pocket knife at hs throat in a fruitless bid to force a jailer to open the cell door and let them escape. . Buis suffered a minor cut on his throat Victor Cue, a jail atj tendant, was floored and suffered a possible fracture of an ankle. Two of the three prisoners were slashed with the knife during a struggle. Knauer said Buis was preparing to leave the cell when Herbert Sexton. 21, Attica, held for escaping from the nearby Indiana State Farm, grabbed him suddenly around the neck and put the blade of a knife at his throat. Sexton yelled at Cue, who was outside the cellblock, to open the cell door. Roy Cooper, 34, Greencastle, an escapee from Indiana State Prison, told Cue they would give him three minutes to open the door. — Then James Mitchell. 40. a State Farm escapee from Los Angeles who has served 13 years in federal penitentiaries, shouted that Cue was stalling for time. He ordered Sexton to “show some blood.” Sexton gashed Buis lightly on the neck and scratched his arm. Buis flipped Sexton on his back, and Mitchell jumped on Buis. Mitchell grabbed for the knife. During the height of the scuffle, deputy sherisf Paul Mason and Indiana State Police trooper Francis Hamilton arrived at the jail, but before they and Cue could quell the disturbance, Mitchell was slashed on the arm and Sexton was stabbed twice in the back and on the left wrist and elbow. Three other prisoners in the cellblock took no part in the break attempt. They were identi- ! fied by Knauer as Sterling Henderson, 38, Brazil, held on a non- : support charge; Tommy Bixler, 24, Cloverdale, serving a jail term for operating a car without a license, and Herbert Stanfield. 25, Parkin, Ark., held as a State Farm escapee. .When the disturbance was over. Sexton, Mitchell and Cue were taken to Putnam County Hospital for treatment of their injuries. Buis did not require hospitalization. Later, troopers took Cooper, Sexton and Mitchell to the Indiana State Reformatory at Pendleton for safe-keeping.

Tom Steury Finishes 21st In Ohio Finals Tom Steury, a sophomore at Amherts, 0., high school and the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. John Doan of Decatur, finished 21st of 182 entries in the all-Ohio finals of the state cross-country track meet last Saturday at Columbus. Young Steury, who finished third the week previous in the Cleveland area trials, held third place in the finals until the half way mark in the two-mile event, then took over the lead until the mile and a quarter. This spurt apparently ruined his chances as he faded over the last three-quarters of a mile. The lad who won the Cleveland trials won the state event in a time of 9:52 on the Ohio State campus. Cited For Van Wert Traffic Violation Zeaz E. Ross, of Decatur, was cited in Van Wert, 0., for failing to give the proper signal for a turn. He will appear at a later date to answer the charge.

Castro Scheduled For Speech Tonight HAVANA, Cuba (UPI) — Premier Fidel Castro makes another of his marathon television speeches tonight and was reported ready to answer U. S. charges that he is deliberately leading Cuba away from its traditional friendship with America. It will be his first speech since Oct. 26 when he told a crowd of 250.000 before the presidential palace that the United States was guilty of “shameless neglect” in permitting Miami-based planes to "bomb and machinegun” Havana. The next day U. S. Ambassador Philip Bonsai presented a diplomatic memorandum to President Osvaldo Dorticoss aking the revolutionary government to "earnestly review its position in order that traditional friendship of the two countries might be restored before further damage is done.” Dorticos said he "categorically rejected” parts of the note but would study others. Neither that U. S. note nor another of Monday has been answered. The U. S. statement Monday described as “inaccurate, misleading dhd malicious” a pamphlet issued by Cuba’s State Department on the recent “bombifig” of Havana. The U. S. position is that only pamphlets were dropped and that casualties were caused by anti-aircraft fire. In London a Cuban embassy spokesman said Cap.t Victor Penza Cardoza “probably” has gone to Czechoslovakia to arrange the purchase of jet planes in case Britain does not provide'them for Cuba. Britain has been under U. S. pressure not to sell arms to Cuba but the British Foreign Office has refused to say whether Britain will bow to this pressure.

Son Os Diplomat Death Car Driver WASHINGTON (UPD — An automobile driven by the son of Ireland’s ambassador struck and killed a pedestrian Wednesday night but the youth invoked his diplomatic immunity and police set him free. David Hearne, 21, who was arrested last month for sockihg a policeman, first was booked on a homicide charge following the accident and then released to Ambassador John Joseph Hearne. Young Hearne has been in repeated jams with police. But on each "occasion he has escaped punishment by invoking his diplomatic immunity. A police lieutenant in the accident investigation unit said all charges originally lodged against young Hearne were' “red lined,” or wiped off the books, when he invoked his diplomatic immunity. The ambassador, who came to the police station to pick up David, assured District of Columbia Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald that his son would appear at an inquest Friday although he is not legally required to show up. Police said the car driven by young Hearne struck Mrs. Jossie Hamlin, a 54nyear-old Negro, about 6 p.m. es t. as she was crossing an intersection in the northern part of the city. Police Pvt. Earl M. Rinick said Hearne told him that while he was making certain that he ■ missed another pedestrian who 'passed in front of his car, Mrs. [ Hamlin suddenly appeared a few yards beyond and was struck. Rinick said the victim was struck by the right front fender of the car and knocked 41 feet. She was pronounced dead on arrival at Providence Hospital. After Hearne’s fight last month with a policeman outside a local night spot, a precinct clerk said the youth had been “quite a frequent visitor” to the station during the past three or four years. “He is really insulted if we call him a foreigner,” the clerk said. “He claims he’s as American as anybody until he’s threatened with a lock-up. Then he’s no longer American but an Irishman entitled to diplomatic immunity.” Young Hearne has been in the United States since his boyhood. He previously attended Georgetown Prep School and Georgetown University. His father, a career diplomat, was named Irish ambassador to the United States in 1950.

Says Chinese Reds Posing Nepal Threat NEW DELHI (UPD—The Yugoslav ambassador to India and Nepal warned today that Communist Chinese aggression in the border dispute with India also "poses a threat to Nepal ” It was die first criticism of Red China’s recent actions by a Communist nation. Ambassador D. Kveder said in Nepal that world war might break out on the border issue and "everyone will have to suffer the consequences of atomic explosions.” Kveder visited Katmandu, Nepal. to present his credentials as Communist Yugoslavia’s first minister to that small Himalayan kingdom. Nepal is a protectorate of India, which handles its defense and foreign affairs. It is located in the mountains between Tibet and India, quite near some areas in which clashes have taken place. The Yugoslav ambassador accused China of “trying to assert her authority over Indian territories through brutal force of bullets” and thus posing “a dange to world peace.” “China is acting. . .aganist the larger interest of world peace,” Kveder said. “If the fire is allowed to develop it will be a danger to the whole world. Nepal's sovereignty will also not be spared in that case.” The statement by the Yugoslav ambassador was the first from the Communist world that openly criticized Red China’s actions on ■the Sino-Indian border. This could be attributed to the fact that Marshal Tito’s “independent” Communist government does not get along with the Peiping regime.
