' "As soon as the people understand the Brannan plan," he said, "they will support it." He didn't say when he thought that would be." The House action left the problem exactly where it was when farm state members at the session's start set out to find a solution to the problem of whopping and price-breaking farm surpluses. Repeal Aiken Law The administration claimed one crumb of success from two days of House fighting. It hooked onto the coalition's bill an amendment to repeal outright the Republican-sponsored Aiken .flexible farm support law, due to become effective Jan. 1. - ; The situation is this: ' 1. The House bill, calling for continuation of the present 90 per cent support law for another year, now goes to tbe Senate. 2.

Wreck Delays Duggsr Train,
Auto Tralfii
Traffic on Indiana 54 in Dug-
ger and trains on the Illinois Central Railroad through Dugger was held up for almost three
hours last night because of an accident at the railroad trestle in Dugger. The accident occurred when a Reo semi truck hauling three 1949 Tord pickup trucks and a 1941 Chevrolet coupe hit the underside cf the trestle attempting to go through. The trucks on
the semi became wedged under
the trestle and blocked all traffic. When the truck hit, sparks,
believed to be from a short in
the battery of the truck, set the trestle on fire, and also burned two of the Ford pickups. Control Fire ' Quick action by the Dugger volunteer fire department saved the trestle from being completely destroyed and managed to save one of the Ford pickups and the coupe. However, they could not prevent the other two pickups
from being destroyed.
The semi was being driven by
Ray Sneed, age 21, of Dexter, Missouri, and the truck was
owned by the Sneed and Hall Motor Company, of Dexter. The accident occurred about
9:45 p. m. when Sneed, driving west, came around the curve east of Dugger and started to go
under the trestle. He said he
didn't see that there, wasnt enough clearance for his load until too late'to stop his truck.
-:' ' " Train Halted - T-, ' The truck became firmly
wedged and wrecking crews worked until after 12:30 a. m. this morning before they could get the wreckage out from tinder the trestle. No one was injured. Meanwhile, an I. C. freight train was halted at about 10:15 p. m. at Palestine, 111., so that an inspection could be made as to whether the trestle was safe enough to permit traffic. Early this morning the train proceeded on its way. The accident was investigated by Sheriff Hubert Wagner and
Deputy Sheriff Harold Conner.
By Donald J. Gonzales United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 22. (UP) President Truman, acting on the request of Senate Democratic leaders, today put off until Monday submission to Congress of his $1,450,000,000 military aid program to back up the North Atlantic treaty. I The arms message originally was scheduled to go to the House and Senate today. The White House said the timetable was changed after the President consulted with Senate leaders late yesterday. Press Secretary Charles G. Puoss denied flatly that the delay was caused by a decision to include some reference to atomic energy in the President's 3,000 word message.

KENDALLVILLE, Ind., July 22 (UP) Church women mounted stepladders and strung Christmas lights on a 10-foot) evergreen tree today in preparation for a midsummer yule party. "Christmas is so commercialized in December that we thought a July celebration would be a good thing," said Mrs. Charles Longyear, Sr., president of the Wayne Center Methodist Church women's auxiliary. A program featuring a1 pantomine of the Birth, of Christ and the singing of Christmas carols will be held amid holiday decorations in the church social rooms tonight. The tall tree at the church entrance was decorated to welcome some 85 expected guests, including the group's 33 members and their families.
Inside the church was a sec
ond lighted tree, strung with tinsel and bright colored balls.
With temperatures in the 80's,
the church women perspired and
fanned themselves as they put
the finishing touches on the ap
pointments."
Santa Clauses and Yule logs
were placed at tables where re
freshments of ice cream and
cakewill be served. The idea was suggested by Mrs. Walter Pankop, who thought it would helg raise a fund for Methodist welfare projects. Invitations contained small stockings and an appeal for members to put money in the stockings and bring them to the party.. "The spirit of Christmas should
prevail the year around," said Mrs. Longyear. "December is not
enough."

competition. He made millions
for his owner on the track, and other millions in tie-ups)- personal appearances and testimonals. Included in the show, which features Dennis O'Keefa and Gail Russell, is probably some of the most exciting racetrack tootage ever scened. It was taken by a:i unknown cameraman in 1906.

Mohawk Indian Conducts Revival
President told cabinet
members of the change at their weekly meeting with him this morning. Afterward. Vice-President Alben W. Barkley said he thought not only the authorization! but the appropriation for military aid to the treaty nations would pass both Houses at this session. But it will face roueh eoing in 1 contrast to the overwhelming 82 to 13 ote of ratification givn yesterday by the Senate to the 20 year defense treaty of 12 nations. The House and Senate both will have ta vote on the arms program, but only a simple majority vote is npcessary. Leer Debate Barkley said he did not anticipate that the arms aid program would require as much time' to get throueh the Senate as the oact itpelf did. The Senate debated the part for two weeks after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee held lengthy hearings. Barkley said he still saw no reason why Congress should not eet away by about the first of Seotember. Ross would not say whether the arms to be furnished each nation would be detailed in the President's message. He said the President did not plan to deliver the message in person. . ' Administratis--officials said that when the program does go to Congress. Mr. Truman will appeal in a 3.000-word message for quick action on the arms project as vitally-needed insurance against war. But there were indications that the military aid program faced rough eoine--and possible rejec- , tinn in contrast to the overwhelming 82 to 13 vote of ratjfi-" cation given the 20-year defence treaty by the Senate 'late yester
day. ; Of the total $1,450,000,000 inarms, the President wants $1,130.000.000 to equip pact mem- ' ber! in Western Euron with modern weapons to fight any Russian aggression. The remaining $320,000,000 will be sought for Greece, Turkey, Iran, the Philippines, Korea and other countries where Communist-inspired uprising might occur.
