PORTLAND (AP) A former
Agriculture Department official

Mexico Arrests
Commie 'Voice1
MF.XICO CITY (AP) The Mex
ican government has clamped
down on communism s loudest
voice in the country, world-famed
muralist David Alfaro Mqueiros.
The artist, who was elected
secretary-general of the Mexican
Communist party three months
ago, was arrested Tuesday nignt
while police were beating down
another leftist-led demonstration
by 800 teachers" college students
and others in downtown Mexico
Citv.
Police said Siqueiros spoke at
the college lust before the dem
onstration, which had been banned
by the police. An unofficial source
said officers tried to arrest him
earlier in the day but he eluded
them.
He was finally found at the
home of a leftist friend, art col
lector Dr. Alvar Carillo Gil, who
was arrested with him.
Newsmen first learned of the
arrest when the artist's wife, An
gelina Arenal, also a militant
Communist, called a local news
paper. She said she did not know
where her husband had been
taken.
Police then confirmed Siqueiros
was at headquarters "for ques
tioning." He can be detained thus

Record Wool
Crop Looms
WASHINGTON (AP) A new
record wool production was pre
dicted by the Agriculture Depart
ment Wednesday for the 1960-61
marketing year.
It estimated production would
total 5.625,000,000 pounds, grease
basis (3,210,000,000 pounds, clean
content;. This would be one per
cent more than last year and 38
per cent more than in 1951-52.
The rate of increase in produc
tion of "wool in Communist coun
ties has greatly exceeded that of
the free world nations in the last
decade, the department said.
It reported that production in
the Communist bloc countries
jumped 88 per cent, due primar
ily to the doubling of output in
uie u.s.s.K.
During the same period free-
world production increased 30 per
cent, due mainly to a 36 per cent
increase in the five major produc
ing countries of the southern hem
isphere. These countries produced 70 per
cent of the free-world total and 56
per cent of the world total. '
The estimated U.S. production
of shorn wool for I960 is 205,300,-
000 pounds, 3 per cent more than
in 1959 and the Highest since 1946.
World wool prices, the depart
ment said, are expected to contin
ue at present levels until the
opening of the 1960-61 marketing
season in Australia late this
month.
Trade sources expect a slightly
easier tone to prevail then, with
the rale of mill activity in the
chief manufacturing countries
slowing up.

downed over the Soviet Union
May 1.
The Soviet news agency Tass
Tuesday distributed the text of an
indictment quoting the puot as
saying he had in effect pleaded
guilty to flying over Soviet terri
tory "with the aim of collecting
intelligence information about the
Soviet Union."
The State Department in turn
noted that Powers, 30, had been
in "exclusive control" of Soviet
authorities for 101 days. It added
"anything he says" should be
judged in this light.
Mrs. Powers' travel plans for

Rogers of Roanoke, another attor-

tainly speak out.
Kisenhower added that he
thinks that when Nixon talks, the
vice president will be saying the
same thing the President does ex
cept for minute details.
Eisenhower was asked whether
his recent moves to strengthen
the U.S. military posture repre
sented an about face on his part.
The President replied with
some vehemence that they did
not. He said he wasn't influenced
by anybody except his advisers
and his own judgment.
The different atmosphere the
Soviets have been creating made
some chances necessary, he said,
CIVIL RIGHTS It is just a
little bit silly for Democrats to
contend that he is bringing up
new matter in what they propose
to make a brief session of Con
gress. Eisenhower said he had
first proposed in January as part
of a general program the two
point civil rights bill killed by the
Senate Tuesday.
CUBA If any Latin Ameriean
government should come under
the dominance of international
communism and become a satel
lite, Eisenhower said this would
call for very definite action. He
added however that if someone
might believe in a different form
of government than we have and
establish it freely, that would be
a different matter.

think Vice President Nixon was
