Farm-To-Store Price Spread Hit In Senate Probe WASHINGTON UP) A sen ate report on food prices says that for most products there Is too big a spread between the farmer's price and the grocery bill. The report Indicated that middle men may be taking too big a cut. Senator Aiken (R-Vt), member of a five-man subcommittee which investigated food prices, said a complete investigation should b e made in Chicago to find out why consumer milk prices are "so high compared to what the farmers and darymen get." "I've heard rumors," he told a reporter, "that some milk route dcilverymen get as much as $15, 000 to $16,000 a year." Aiken ii a former dairy farmer. Most of the price levels used In the subcommittee's report have been outdated by the sharp price boosts since the Korean war be gan. But it noted that a 13 percent dron in farm orices in 1949 re sulted in a reduction of only four percent in the retail price of food. The report recommended that Justice department anti-trust in vestigators "conduct investigations o f possible price agreements among bakers in those markets where Interstate commerce is in volved." Aiken said milk producers serv ing Chicago got $2.12 less for a hundred pounds of milk than those serving Washington. 'And yet Chicago prices to consumers for a quart of home delivered milk is a cent higher than Washington," Aiken added.

S. citizenship he gave up three years ago. The 37-year-ol( Becker, who gives his hometown as Bend, Ore., has been wandering around north ern Germany ever since he gave up his American citizenship. His peculiar crusade Includes wearing a donkey's ears and tail, which he said symbolizes "the spirit of the people." He gave up his citizenship, he said, because in his one man campaign he "intended to do things that might have embar rassed the American government if I had done them as a citizen." The crusade Is to prove that "activities pursued for gain con tribute to conflicts that lead to war." The donkey Is the symbol of the people's spirit because it "pays for everything," and on Its back "all tyrants ride but in the long and slow course of time, nevertheless, conquers and sur vives every Idol." Becker, who said he got the idea of preaching while working in Eu gene, Ore., wants to go back to America now.' He started his hunger strike two weeks ago in an effort to realize his desire. He said he wanted to go back to America, die of hunger or go to jail. Becker says he slipped into Ger many in 1948 after working his way from the U. S. on a Danish freighter to Marseilles. Air Units Quit War Games Plan As Spat Result NEW YORK UP) The New York Times says that navy ma rine air units have withdrawn from the big war games at Fort Bragg, N. C, because of differences with the air force over the system of air control to be used. The story, by Hanson W. Bald win, the Times military expert, says the cancellation represents, "according to informed sources, an indirect by - product of far broader service differences about the control of aviation assigned to the front-line support of g r o u n d troops." The "exercise southern pine1' maneuvers, termed the largest joint training exercise in this country since the end of World War II, is scheduled for the Fort Bragg-Camp Mackall area from Aug. 13 to 28. Taking part will be three army divisions and other ground troops totaling 85,000 men, 400 air force planes and 12,000 air force per sonnel. But, the Times says, navy and marine squadrons totaling more than 100-aircraft have been with drawn. In discussing "the differences be tween the services about air sup port" Baldwin writes: "Fundamental, however. Is the air force belief not shared by the other services that close air support is the least effecltv eand most wasteful way of using air power " "Higher priorities of the tactical air force were defined as the winning of air superiority and the severance far behnd the enemy front of enemy supply lines," the article said. In contraast, Baldwin says, the navy believes In close air support of fighting ground troops. The differing concepts, B a 1 d win concludes, "must be settled at the joint chiefs of staff level, all services agree, and not in the field."

UP) Britain took the wraps off her new rapid firing .280 rifle in impres sive tests yesterday, but she failed to convince western mili tary men that it is the best weapon in its field. The stockless weapon that looks much like a sub-machine gun was put through its paces before some 200 military attaches and SO re porters. The tests showed the new gun can be fired faster than either the United States' semi-automatic .50 caliber Garand or the old British 303 bolt action Enfield, but lacks penetration and shocking power. The new weapon will be thor oughly checked, however, by a committe of the Atlantic Treaty organization.

Saturday night's performance in Ashland of "King Lear," by the Oregon Shakespear ean Festival players, drew attend, ance from all over the continental United States and Hawaii, demon strating once again the popular ity of the Immortal Bard. Perhaps Shakespeare's attrac tion for both actors and audiences can be credited to the simplicity nf his nortravals. which appear only in broad outline through the action and dialogue, lending mem selves to infinite variety of inter pretation. In this respect, the fes tival players are praiseworthy ar tists, with the performances of Richard Graham as "King Lear" and William Oyler as "Edmund,"' outstanding. In the latter role, Oly ler drew applause second only to Graham, athough he was playing an unsympathetic character. Herb Greer's "Fool" was perhaps over played, as was that of John Bren ner's "Poor Tom." Brebner, how ever, as "Edgar of Gloucester," performed with excellent reserve. From Middlesex, England, Bren ner has been at Sanford univer sity on a scholarship this past year. Others of the troupe are drawn predominantly from the Pa cific Northwest. One, John B u chanan, is from our neighboring town of SutherUn. Pathos In Superlative which are supposed to be found In j "King Lear," we didn't find any such implications. Perhaps the psychology of love and trust be trayed is not well understood ex cept by the layman and Shake speare, who know how end less self-questioning can lead to emotional turmoil and nervoue prostration. Add physical exhaus tion, and it is plain that even the young may be temporarily crazed by grief. Lear is indeed a pitiable being when, at his reunion with Cordelia, he dares not trust his recognition of her. No more poig nant lines could be given an ac tor to speak than Lear's, "If you have poison for me, I will drink it." Presented on an outdoor stage within the old Chautauqua shell in Ashland, these plays progress without pause for intermissions between acts. This allows unin terrupted action in rapid tempo, with a cumulative dramatic effect not possible otherwise. Now in its eleventh season, the Oregon Shakespearean Festival is currently presenting "King Lear," "Twelfth Night," "Henry IV, part 2," and "Measure for Measure." The 1952 season will feature per formances of "The Tempest," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," and "Much Ado About Nothing." 500 Escape Death When Passenger Train Plunges FOUR OAKS, N. C. (P) Hun dreds of passengers escaped death or serious injury near here Sun- i day in the wreck of the Atlantis! Coast line's streamline passenger train, the East Coast Champion. According to C. G.
