Lattimore spoke out at the out set of hie second consecutive day of testimony before a senate for eign relations subcommittee in vestigating charges by Senator McCarthy (R-Wis.) that the Stale department is infested by Com munists and Red sympathizers. His reference was to a question from Senator Hickenlooper (R Iowa) late yesterday aa to whether Mrs. Lattimore addressed in 1943 a San Francisco labor school, listed as Communist by the Cali fornia Un-American A c t i v i t i es committee. Lattimore said he didn't know. Mrs. Lattimore, sitting with her msband, said she didn t recall. Today, Hickenlooper brought it up again. He inquired whether Lattimore and his wife had re freshed their recollection overnight as to wrether Mrs. Lattimore had lectured at the Tom Mooney school. Lattimore said his .wife recalls that she spoke at what she was told was a trade union school, as she did at various other places to various organizations. Then, in sharp tones, Lattimore said: "With all due respect I think this attempt on me has set many new lows in American political life, and this attempt to attack me through my wife . , . strikes a new low." Smothers Winner Over Sen. Pepper In Florida (Continue'' from page One) vocate of more federal financing, broader public services, increased old age assistance, and a national health program. Smathers urged less deficit spending, a balanced budget, more free enterprise. He opposed what he called "socialized medicine" and sdid the Taft-Hartley act is basically good. Smathers pictured Pepper as having given "comfort" to pro- (ommunist groups. Pepper called Communism "odious" and said the charce was Dart of a ReDub- lican effort to defeat him in a democratic primary. In other primaries yesterday, in complete returns showed: Alabama Rebel states' righters had an inconclusive lead over Democrat regulars in their fight for control of the state party ma chinery. The contest was over 72 places on the state Democratic ex ecutive committee. The national party, led by Sena tors Hill and Sparkman, worked to wrest control of the committee from the group that led the state away from the Truman ticket in 1948 on the civil rights issue. The states' righters were not doing so well otherwise. Hill him self maintained a good lead for Senate renomination over Law rence McNeil, Birmingham busi ness man and states' righter. And in the 15-man race for the Democratic gubernatorial nomina tion, the two leaders were oposed to the states' rights bolt. They are Gordon Persons, head of the State Public Service commission, and Philip J. Hamm, State Revenue commissioner. Persons appeared certain to be in the run-off May 30. Ohio Republicans chose State Treasurer Don H. Ebright as their candidate for Ohio governor. He will face Democratic Gov. Frank J. Lausche in November. Lausche outdistanced two opponents for a third term nomination. Indiana All 11 U S House mem bers apparently were renominated, including Mrs. Cecil Harden, Re publican, and Rep. Charles Hal ieck, who was GOP floor leader in the Republican-controlled 80th Cen gress. Virginia Edward J.

(JPl United nations Secretary-General Trygve Lie announced today he will fly to Moscow May 10 to try to per suade Russia to agree to a meet ing of world leaders with the se curity council aimed et ending the cold war and averting a global catastrophe. In an obvious reference to for mer president Herbert C. Hoov er's proposal to reorganize the U. N., without Russia and her satel lites, Lie denounced any attempt to split the world premanently into two camps. "The most critical situation since 1945 has developed this year," he said, "not only for the United Na tions but for the future of the world itself. We are at the crossroads." The United Nations still is func tioning, he said, "but the fact re mains that there are empty chairs and it remains that the dis pute over China's representation still Is to be settled." Russia has been boycotting U. N. bodies be cause of the continued presence of Chinese nationalist delegates. Higher Social Security Payments Are Favored I Continued from page One) Senate bill, he estimated. They now come to about $2,500,000,000 a year. Thus payments would be in creased about $1,300,000,000 and the taxe. to finance the program would be raised about $500,000,000. George said there is strong senti ment on the committee looking to ward a pay-as-you-go system but he called the committee proposals only "a very limited step" in that direction. Would Double Benefits The benefit formula worked out by the committee would about double the average benefits pay able to persons who retire in the future, compared to the present law. The 2,900,000 persons now re ceiving benefits would have their payments increased an average of about 90 percent, with the increases ranging j-om 60 percent for the highest benefit groups to over 100 percent tor those receiving tne smallest benefits. - The 90 percent average Increase for current beneficiaries compares with the 70 percent increase pro vided in the House bill. The senate committee kept the present maximum wage base of $3,000 a year on which employers and employes make contributions to the system instead of raising it to $3,600 as the House did. Further, the senate group voted to freeze until the start of 1956 the present Vi percent tax contribu tion paid by employer and em ployee alike. The House bill pro vided for increasing the rate to 2 percent next year.

May 3 (JPl The house ways and means com mittee voted today to cut the tax on "economy" brands of cigar ets from 7 cents to 4.9 cents a pack. The action raised above the $1,000,000,000 -nark the total cut ting it has voted in excise taxes. Makers of the cheaper cigarets have said they could sell at 12 cents a pack (excluding state taxes) if the federal tax were cut. The treasury estimated that if the cut was made cigaret smokers would pay $90,000,000 less taxes a year. This, with smaller cuts today, brought the tentatively approved excise cuts to $1,064,500,000 way beyond the $655,000,000 limit Pres ident Truman proposed. The Presi dent made no suggestion whatever for reduction in cigaret and tobac co taxes. Auto Larceny Charged To Jack H.

They said the dairy never officially notified the farmers group of any price cut M the slate minimum, so no pickets were placed there. C. E. Schoenleber, partner in the Roseburg dairy, said no picket lines were established at that dairy, but that Roseburg dairy is backing up Umpqua dairy "as a matter of principle." Milk For Schools, Hospital Meanwhile, eat Umpqua dairy, picketing continued through this morning. Delivery trucks remained at the plant and milk was not be ing received. Ormond Keldkamp, co-partner of Umpqua dairy, said today that schools were supplied with milk but no other deliveries were made. He said miik was available to the dairy but that plant workers re specting the AF of L picket lines would not receive or process the milk. Schoenleber said he intended to fulfill his contract with the Vet erans hospital and possibly deliver to the schools but that otherwise, there would be no deliveries. Diverted For Cheese Farmers said their milk is being accumulated in warehouse facili ties and will be shipped to Grants Pass for manufacture into cheese They said a few farmers, not members of the milk producers association, showed up this morn ing to offer milk to Umpqua dairy but that lack of dairy help neces sitated they be refused. Mayo said a federal conciliator in Seattle has been called to pass judgment on a "no sympathy strike" clause contained in the union agreement with Roseburg dairy. Although Roseburg a. try is accepting milk from farmers under quota to him, this supply is not being processed and delivered to the public. Mayo branded the Roseburg dairy plant shutdown a "collusion deal" in violation of the contract clause. He quoted the contract as specifying "neither the employer nor the union are in favor of sym pathetic strikes and each will do everything within its power to pre vent these strikes during the life of this agreement." Milk producers spokesmen said they were willing to negotiate the dispute in a "democratic, Ameri can way" in an effort to reach a price settlement. . Feldkamp said the distributors met yesterday with a committee of producers and AF of L members and that it was his impression that another meeting would be held Thursday. He said he "wouldn't guess" as to when the situation would be straightened out and that distribu tors have no definite way of know ing when operations will resume. Meanwhile, producers are stand ing pat on their requests that the nrirp naid them before May 1 be I retained. mm Seven Children Orphaned ty Double Tragedy YANKTON, S.
