The changes made in the ad vanced model were based on con sultation with leading airlines and experience gained in 3 1-3 years or flight testing the Boeing 707 prototype, a spokesman said. It described the cabin of the 720 as renlly offered in any jet transport "more spacious tha any cur in this range category."

Can't Widen Export Wheat Sales Without Wrecking Prices Negro Discrimination Higher In 'White Collar' Areas, Committee Says WASHINGTON i Job dis crimination against Negroes by government contactors is greater in white-collar areas than in pro duction tasks and skilled trades, a presidential committee says. In its fourth annual report to President Eisenhower, the Com mittee on Government Contracts Tuesday said such "discrimina tory situations" may be on the way out. The committee, headed by Vice President Nixon, seeks to elimi nate job discrimination because of color, race, religion or national origin in work done under govern ment contract. The committee said a survey of 508 plants doing government work show that Negroes "held nearly 9 per cent of the jobs in plants surveyed in detail," but "their representation in the white-collar work was strikingly lower." It said Negroes had the best representation in white - collar work in Chicago, Detroit, Phila delphia and the New York City Northern New Jersey area. Nixon said he believed the com mittee has developed "new and effective tools for identifying and correcting discriminatory situa tions where work is being per formed under government contract." Nutritionists Argue Whether Fats Harm Heart i WASHINGTON OK Two Agri culture Department nutritionists got into the general debate Tues day on the question of whether ! food fats cause heart diseases and I hardening of the arteries. Some medical experts point ac- ! cusing fingers at fats. But Ruth M. Leverton and Faith Clark, ! nutrition and home economics ; authorities for the department's ; Agricultural Research Adminis-i I tration, said in a report Tuesday I that such claims are "still in need I of many supporting facts from scientifically conducted re ! search." "In general, we can say that at this time the evidence does not i justify a radical change in the kind or amount of fat in the American diet in the hope that by such means the incidence of coronary or cerebral artery dis ease will be lowered." Some farm officials have ex pressed concern that persistent connection of fats with heart dis eases by some medical authorities might in time have an adverse market and price effect on such agricultural products as butter, margarine, pork and fatty beef. The two experts did offer this advice: Avoid overeating for your level of physical activity and thus avoid overweight. Future Of ReciprocalTrade ' Agreement May Hinge Upon Lead-Zinc Tariff Plan COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ii Secretary of Agriculture Benson said Wednesday the United States cannot now widen export markets for wheat without breaking world prices. This country, he said, is already j maKing us wneai competitive in world markets and as a conse-1 quence is getting a big share of the market. I Benson made the statements in a speech prepared for the annual convention of the national Grange. What he said was an apparent reference to Grange proposals that the government adopt a mul tiple price plan for wheat, cotton and other export crops as a means of broadening markets. Under this plan, that portion of the export crops consumed in this country should be supported at a relatively high level to hold them on a par with industrial wages and profits. , But' production in excess of domestic needs would be allowed to drop to whatever levels were necessary to find markets. Benson made no specitic refer ence to the Grange proposals, but did outline what he called basic factors the administration used in considering various farm program proposals. With an obvious refer ence to the Grange position, the secretary said: "In view of the current size of world wheat stocks, and since we are competitive in price, export markets could not immediately bp widened except bv breaking world j n-i.i ...... .1.1 ....n,- n-rn... 1 international problems." Benson told the convention that much of agriculture's current economic troubles grow out of rising costs of farm machinery, supplies and materials used in farm production. "It is not for me to say what labor and industry should do at lllic iiiiw-hirp " hp said "Rut as a spokesman for agriculture in the federal government, 1 win say that I am deeply disturbed by any nii,.n .,liih aHilc mM nun nfnnv to the Droduction costs of farmers at this lime. " Rev. L. Odiorne Heads Portland Presbytery PORTLAND i The Rev. Leonard Odiorne, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church here, Tuesday was elected presi dent of the Portland Presbytery.

Henry Green, an executive of the synod jof Oregon for nearly a decade, to Los Angeles: and the Rev. Monte B. Brown, a field assistant in Oregon for the board of national j missions, to San Francisco. WASHINGTON vtl The Tariff Commission was told. Wednesday that the future of the reciprocal trade agreements program may hinge upon the outcome of lead zinc tariff hearings now under way. Testifying in support of an ap plication for increases in lead and zinc import duties to the full extent allowed by the Trade Agreements Act. Rep. Edmondson (D-Okla) said, "I believe the en tire future of the reciprocal trade agreements program is in the bal ance as these hearings proceed." Edmondson said the icad-zinc industry, hard hit by depressed prices, is looking to the tariff com mission as its "last hope."

Governor Lops 27 Years Off Touhy's Sentence SPRINGFIELD, 111. I Gov. William G. Stratton lopped 27 years off Roger Touhy s kidnap ing sentence Wednesday making the prohibition era gangster eli gible for parole in August, 1959. It marked another successful step in Touhy's long fight for free dom since lie was sentenced for kidnaping on what he called a bum rap. Four months ago. the governor reduced lo 1 rears a 199-year prison break sentence whichTouhy was serving consecu tively. Touhy, once known as "The Ter rible." originally was sentenced to 99 years in 1934 for the kidnaping of John (Jake the Barber) Factor a charge he has maintained through the years was a frame up. Nine years later Touhy had an additional 199 years piled on his sentence as the result of a prison break in which he participated. 1. 1-16 cents a pound to 2 55 cents, and for zinc from .7 to 2 1 cents a pound. These are the maximums allow able under the trade act. Some industry spokesmen at the tariff hearings, which opened Tuesday, also have proposed import quotas. Among those advocating higher lead-zinc tariffs Wednesday was John D. Bradley, representing the Bunker Hill Co., of the Couer D'Alene mining district of Idaho. Bradley said his company is the second largest producer of lead in the United States but that its operations are seriously threat ened by the decline in metal prices. Since 1956, he said, the company profits have gone down by 85.1 per cent. "The cause of this critical in jury is the lack of adequate pro tection against foreign imports of lead and zinc," he said. Edward H. Snyder, who present ed the import quota plan Tuesday, said the committee did not rec ommend it, but gave it to the commission ior lis consiueranon. j Geese With OSC Colors !
