Freeman Studying Bean Price Support CHICAGO (UPD— Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman said Monday he hopes to announce the 1964 price supoprt level for soybeans “within a couple weeks.” But Freeman told a news conference that he had not yet made up his mind whether to maintain the current level of $2.25 per bushel or increase the price support to a higher plateau. Freeman said a » decision would not be made until he completes consultations with soybeans growers and processors. In a speech later at Decatur, before the annual convention of Soybeans Growers of America, Inc., Freeman expanded on this theme. “Let me make clear that the responsibility to set the support level,” he said. “It is a judgment I alone can make. “However, the decision must reflect the interests of all persons involved—those who grow soybeans and those who use them. It must also involve the interests of the consumer and the producer.” Freeman said a temporary office set up in Decatur would handle the consultations needed for his decision to set the 1964 price level. At his Chicago news conference, Freeman denied rumors that he would resign. There is no truth to such reports, the secretary Said. “I have every reason to believe that I will remain through President Johnson’s term,” he said.

Deny Second Ruby Visit To Red Cuba DALLAS (UPD—Jack Ruby’s defense lawyers, searching today for evidence that the killer of Lee Harvey Oswald may not get a fair trial in Dallas, denied a report that Ruby visited Communist Cuba last year. The lawyers said Monday night the FBI had fully checked Ruby’s travels but found he had not left the country since 1959, when he admittedly visited Havana. A Cuban exile in New Orleans said he had received word from an anti-Fidel Castro agent about the alleged second trip. Dallas Times Herald and Dallas Morning News stories about the assassination of President Kennedy and events that followed were to be presented in evidence today by the defense team. The change of venue hearing in criminal Dist. Judge Joe Brown's court Monday featured flare-ups between Dist. Atty. Henry Wade and Melvin Belli. The battle is over a defense move to change the location of Ruby’s trial for killing Oswald last Nov. 24, just two days after Oswald was charged with murdering President Kennedy. Ruby’s murder trial is scheduled to begin in Brown’s courtroom Feb. 17. Belli of San Francisco, heading a team of four defense attorneys, said he hopes to wind up the pre-trial hearing on a change of venue by Wednesday afternoon. He has subpoenaed 175 persons. Seven witnesses, including four newsmen, testified in the stuffy courtroom Monday. Defense attorneys questioned them about the general mood of citizens of Dallas. They attempted to show that the Ruby case has been so thoroughly discussed that he should be tried elsewhere.
