Madden voices disapproval of farm bill

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep. Ray Madden, D-Ind., voiced his disapproval of a Tuesday decision by Rep. Neal Smith, Dlowa, to ask the House to approve a four-year extension of present major farm programs, by charging that the farm pro-

gram has “degenerated into a fat cat operation . . with the bulk of the money going to corporation farms, those who need it least.” Madden was certain to support limitations to the bill if it is not killed by the House. He

would prefer the latter. The bill before the House would extend for one year, through 1970, the government’s major production control and price supports programs for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and wool. The programs are scheduled to die D^p. 31, 1969, and farm belt spokesmen — espedaily from the wheat producing areas—insist farmers need a year’s extension guaranteed now to plan their operations. The Senate earlier this month approved a four-year extension. Now, Smith says he thinks he has enough votes to get the job done in the House. Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman told reporters Smith’s four-year amendment would receive 220

votes, more than enough for passage. Smith was more careful in his assessment of prospects. He said only that he was confident of winning if all who promised him support showed up to vote. Smith’s decision confirms Republicans’ worst fears. The House Republican Policy Committee and two major candidates for the GOP presidential nomination have endorsed the one-year extension. But some Republicans, notably Rep. Page Belcher, Okla., were so fearful that Congress would wind up approving a compromise within the House-Senate range, they were determined to oppose even the House bill. Rep. Paul Findley, R-Ill., who lost out on an early attempt to block consideration of the bill on a technicality, was prepared to ask for a $10,000 limitation on government payments to industrial farms. Smith said he has been working for about three weeks with Rep. Leonor K. Sullivan, D-Mo., on an apparent tit-for-tat agreement; Farm bloc support for her plan to liberalize food programs for the poor for four years, in return for a four-year extension of farm programs. Mrs. Sullivan’s amendment for a four-year, open-ended food stamp program won House approval just before the Farm Bill was taken up.

Sirhan faces court, expect not guilty plea

By JACK V. FOX LOS ANGELES (UPI)—Dozens of persons witnessed the June 5 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and saw a gun wrenched from the hand of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan moments later. TodAy, the slender defendant was appearing in court to answer the charge he murdered Kennedy, and it was anticipated his attorney would plead innocent or innocent by reason of insanity. The 24.year-old Jordanian, born Sirhan was summoned to a mini-fortress courtroom only 50 feet from his cell on the 13th floor of the Hall of Justice where armor plate shields the courtroom windows and the 80 newsmen and spectators are searched for weapons. Sirhan was expected to appear at 9 a.m., PDT, (Noon EDT). Russell, Parsons, the defense attorney, revealed Thursday that a plea had been decided upon and would be entered today. A Asked if Sirhan concurred in the plea, Parsons said: “Oh, yes. I wouldn’t do anything without his approval.” Kennedy was fatally wounded shortly after midnight in a pantry of the Ambassador Hotel moments after a jubilant celebration of his victory in the California Democratic presidential primary. One of the three

bullets penetrated his brain and he died 25 1 £ hours later. Sirhan had the option of pleading guilty, innocent, innocent by reason of insanity— or a double plea of innocent and innocent by reason of insanity. Late Thursday, Parsons filed a legal brief opposing modification of a sweeping court order prohibiting extra-judicial statements by persons connected with the case. At Sirhan’s last court appearanee, Dist. Atty. Evelle Younger said he will seek either revocation or modification of the “order re publicity” issued by Superior Court Judge Arthur L. Alacron the day Sirhan was indicted. The order had the effect of clamping a virtual news blackout on the case. After the plea, Superior Court Judge Richard Schauer was expected to set a trial date. Parsons has said he will seek to have the trial held back until November when the election is over. The attorney said he would not ask a change of venue. “He can get as fair a trial here as in Caribou, Maine,” he said. PROMPT ACTION CHICAGO (UPI) — Motorist Laurance jeffries angrily tore up the parking ticket patrolman Daniel Creamer handed him Tuesday— and was promptly arrested for littering.
