Vladimir Petrov,. formerly the top Soviet agent in Australia, told the story in an article in the Sun day newspaper The People.- . Burgess and MacLean were re cruited by the Communist 20 years ago while students at Cam bridge, he said, and neither knew of the other's spy activities until a few weeks before they disap peared together 4'a years ago. Department Head MacLean was bead of the Amer ican Department in the Foreign Office at the time he vanished. Burgess was on leave : from', his past as second secretary of the British Embassy in Washington. Adding to the mystery was the disappearance of MacLean's American-born wife, Melinda, and their three children two years later. They slipped away after going to . Switzerland and presumably went to join him. . 1 Petrov said ; MacLean. now 43. -and Burgess. 44, appealed to the . Russians for asylum .after discov Demos Eye Kefauver as '56 Nominee By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UPl-Sem Estes Kefauver's chance' of winning 'the 1956 Democratic presidential nomi- nation is no more than fair but hei 1 is the man to watch next year, . ; For one solid reason:: Kefauver is a serious obstacle in the path - of Adlai E. Stevenson. The middle ' aged 52) Tennessee senator has no formally announced for the 1956 . contest He is going through the preliminary motions, however, and ! the, odds are long that Stevenson j v must get by Kefauver to win. Sitting back cool, comfortable ana -jnm an ace in the hole is Gov. ' AvereQ Harriman of New York.' The fates of these three men. .who are so unlike, are tied securely together; the political Da vy-Crockett from Tennessee, the polished, easy ; - mannered man from Illinois, and Harriman, who would be the richest president since George Washington. Stevenson's Decision Approaches ' The season is approaching when v Stevenson must say yes or no ,to the question whether he will run .;. a'aini. Democrats will not draft Stevenson again. ' , That's where - Kefauver's coon skin cap will be right in the center of the ring. The senator is a deadly primary opponent He licked Presi dent Truman in New Hampshire's kickofl primary in March, 1952. Kefauver went on to win pri maries in Wisconsin. Nebraska, Il linois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, South Dakota and Cali fornia. Some of these were mere ' courtesy votes which did not bind delegations. He split Ohio and Florida. : Lost at Convention The Tennessee senator orobablv had the largest public following of any Democrat when the national convention assembled in Chicago in -1952. Kefauver was well ahead on the first two ballots, then the pro- ; fessionals, led by Mr. Truman, did aim in. Stevenson was the winner Ketauver win go into the pn m Ties again if he moves at all ' next year, and that puts it up to Stevenson to enter and meet him. A series of primary losses to Ke fauver would be enough to bench Stevenson for life. ; - Then would come the 164,000 question. Would Mr. Truman and the other party leaders whom Ke fauver has offended accept him this time. ;t 0PB3 PARXII mm TV & Appliances YOUR RCA V I GT O R DEALER RCA Victor ... the television that is guaranteed to out-pfform and out-last all others!

WASHINGTON fl Secretary of Agriculture Benson said Sunday it is "perfectly all right" with him if farm problems falling prices and crop surpluses are a major campaign issue next year. Farm ers "are not going to be i stam peded," he said. f j - "I think agriculture - is funda mentally sound," Benson said. "I think there is every indication of that I. think we are going to see some improvement in farm 'prices as we get a better balance between production and consumption id this country." j j - Democrats; have been hammer ing', away at the farm issue for some time. And Republican state chairmen agreed at a recent meet ing here that declining farm prices offered the greatest political threat to the election of a GOP Congress in 1956. ; . , ' ' j There" . have been demands by Democrats, and even some; Repub licans, that President Eisenhower get a new agriculture secretary. Benson, appearing with his I wife and five of his six children. ! in a filmed TV ' interview , on I NBCs Youth Wants To Know, said the farmers don t feel they're tod bad off now. I j ;, Despite lower prices for farm products, the secretary said, there will be record or near record per acre crop yields this year and that. he said, will mean more for the farmers. money He said public opinion polls! tak- en recently indicate "most farm- ers feel their income this year will be as good if not a little better than last year. j j Benson said there were these other indications of ' continuing prosperity for farmers: " (I) jReal estate values are 2 per cent higher than last year; 2 the ratio of debt to total farm assets isi It per cent compared to 19 per pent in 1940; (3) farm machinery j pur chases are up 20 per cent this: year; (4) the per capita income of farmers the past year showed a small increase despite the generaTi decline in farm prices. Benson repeated what the has said several times recently. that the Eisenhower administration will offer new legislation to Congress next year which he expects! will help the farmers. I. j Benson said the administration wants to give farmers greater! free dom in using their own crops to feed their livestock. In the. case of wheat nov he said, "we are under obligation.to prosecute farmers who feedJnore than 25 acres on their ownjarm." I -'I.
