U. S. May Have To
Make Sacrifice
PORTLAND tJPi The United
States may have to make more
sacrifices to meet the Communist
challenge in science, education,

"President Lincoln said that his

earth," Neuberger said in a

"Such a warning applies to our

Neuberger said his MXM'i'h was
a reply to former Utah Onv. J.
Bracken Lee. who last month told
the club the federal income tax
law should he repealed and for
eign aid slashed.
"Abandonment of foreign aid
could Jpad to Communist domi
nation or such vital areas of the
world as South Korea, Turkey and
icinam, ncuDcrgcr said.
tf the taxes were abandoned.
Neuberger said, "how, then, would
we pay for our atomic weapons
which have held the Soviet colos
sus at bay for more than' a
decade."

Boeing To Make
Short-Range
Commercial jet
SEATTLE lfl The Boeing Air
plane Co. announced Wednesday
development of an advanced type
short-to-mediuin range commer
cial jet airliner to he known as
the Boeing 720. It will replace the
previously announced 717.
Boeing said the 720 will have
an improved airframe design and
will use new higher-thrust versions
of Pratt 4 -Whitney JT.1 jet en
gines, giving the plane a top speed
of more than 600 miles an hour.
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."
The 720 will closely resemble
the long-range 707, now being pro
duced in quantities for more than
a dozen United States and foreign
airlines.

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. "

WASHINGTON vtl The Tariff

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

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.
