Cuts Four Cents Off Support Rate
WASHINGTON UP — Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T-\ft Benson Monday lopped four cents off the government price support l ate for the 1958 commercial corn crop.
Benson announced the minimum lf)58 support rate for producers in the commercial corn
area would be $1.36 a bushel. The rate for the 1957 commercial crop was $1.40 a bushel. Because of the abundance of other feed grains and the supply situation of corn, there had been predictions the support rate would be dropped 8 to 10 cents a bushel to reflect 75 percent of parity. In other moves, Benson raised slightly the government support rates for dairy products to reflect a shift in parity prices, and set ihe minimum support rates
for 1958 crop peanuts. The dairy rates for the 195859 marketing year beginning today were increased from 53.03 to $3.06 per hundredweight f >: manufacturing milk and fi :■ 56.2 cents to 56.5 cents a pour, i for butterfat. Each rate refle is
75 percent of parity.

1.300 Taken Off Norwegian Liner
LONDON UP The 7,000-ton British freighter - City of Sydney saved 1,300 persons from death early today when a Norwegian Hirer crowded with German immigrants burned and sank in the Indian Ocean. Skimpy radio reports received it. London, Also and Amsterdam listed only one person dead in the rescue, one of the greatest sea transfers of all time. The burning ship was the 9,-786-ton Norwegian transport Skaubryn. on route to Australia j 1 oping to make a new life “down under.'' It burned 300 miles southeast of the Socotra Islands off the African coast. The rescue ship was a freighter - i of the Ellerman Line. It radioed it was taking the survivors to Aden, one the Ar abian Peninsula. The City of Sydney raced to the scene after Capt. Alf Fae. to. 45, radioed an SOS saying hi-; ship was burning out of control and probably would have to be aban loned. Other ships also picked up tire signal and sped tow; rd the scene
but the City of Sydney arrived lin ing the night and pet forme . -he rescue. The Norwegian owners of the Skaubryn, the odo firm of T. M. Skaugen, said the fire presumably started in the engine room and spread to the oil bunkers. They said the pass; nger accommodations were equipped with modern fhrf.ghting equipment and painted with fireproof paint. The eight-year-old Germanbuilt ship had born operated on the immigrant run between Brcmerhaven, Germany, and Australian ports. It had carried U.oumnds of immigrants from Germany, displaced persons camps and Las tern Europe to Australia. The ship's crew was estimated at about 200.

JURY RETURNS GUILTY VERDICT IN PEAK CASE
INDIANAPOLIS UP —Milan J attorney Robert Peak was found guilty in his second Indiana highway scandal trial Monday night A jury of nine women and three men was out about seven and one-half hours before returning the verdict.
Special Judge Norman Brennan said he would defer sentencing until next Monday because “the lawyers will be out of town.” The maximum ylfttttenee ; on the charge of falsely notariz1 ing a deed would be 1-3 years in prison and a fine up to $1,000.
In closing arguments Monday afternoon Deputy Prosecutor ' William Sharp called Peak the “brains behind he conspiracy" in the embezzlement of more than $22,000 in a series of land transactions in 1955.

| The 46-year-old stoney-faced attorney already was under sen-' tenee for 2-14 years for conspir-j acy to embezzle in the same deals. He and fenner highway chairman Virgil (Red) Smith were convicted on the charge in the first highway scandal trial and were free pending appeal. Two others were acquitted in t ie first trial. But the next two trials have produced two convictions—Peak and Austin housemover Marvin Preble. This Marion Oiminal Court 1 jury deliberated for about three hours before taking an hour for dinner. Then it went back behind closed doors and found Peak guilty of falsely notarizing the signature of “Dean Burton." Testimony showed the signature was used by Smith in a scheme to hide Smith’s ownership of the property. The lots were sold originally for $2,500 and ! then r esold to Smith’s highway department for $25,800. “You know this is part of the road scandals,” Sharp told the jury. "Peak's notarial seal was the axis on which $25,800 was siphoned from the public till.” Defense attorney William F. Hopkins told the jury Peak testified in his own defense as “an innocent man.” Hopkins said Peak believed it was legal when he notar ized th° “Burton" signa- ( ture on a deed tr ansfer r ing two Madison Ave. properties to Peak’s parents. Smith testified dur ing the trial former right-of-way director Nile Teverbaugh threatened him with exposure and forced hinr t j give his director a share of the profits on the deals. Teverbaugh denied the char ge under oath. Preble was convicted of filing a false claim in the second highway sc.rndal trial. More trials seemed to be on the way with seven other persons facing char ges including top offic ials of the Carpenters Union and close associates of former Gov. George N. Craig.
