No. 13
Con grew reassembles today
iter the Easter recess with most
of it session's work still before
It Since thii ii election year, the
pressures lor early adjournment
will mount and the probable ef
lect will be Jo leave many im
portant measures to die on the
vine. Already Republican are
borrowing the taunt of President
Truman about the "do-nothing"
80th Congress, and taking it to
the S4th.
The conference committee con
sidering farm legislation will
bring its report today. The re
vised bill is expected to contain
provisions for a return to 90 per
eent parity on basic crops, an op
tion for a two-price plan for
wheat and one for rice, and a
dual scheme for figuring parity
"whichever is higher." It may
also direct a higher set-aside on
surplus stocks of farm commod
ities.' This wouldn't dispose of
the surplus but it would mask
' over the eyes and thus encourage
the building of more surpluses.
The bill will contain the soil bank
and soil conservation program
endorsed by President Eisen-
hower. ' ..
The President is reported as
undecided on the bill if it comet
to him with the fixed high par
ity and other features the admin
istration deems objectionable.
Secretary Benson frankly says
he regards it as bad legislation
and "unworkable." Eisenhower
has seemed anxious to set the
soil bank plan to work, has re
gretted the delay; but it is hard
to see how he can swallow the 90
' per cent parity reversion. If the
bill comes to him in the shape
described, it deserves a veto. Th
congressional blacksmiths may.

Mother Leads
Police to Body
Of Daughter
LOS ANGELES IT A distraught
mother Sunday led police to the
body of her four-year-old daugh
ter, hidden in a large suitcase on
a hillside in the near-downtown
area.
Det. Sgt. Harry Hansen said
Mrs. Jean Elizabeth Shaw, 15, di
rected officers to the scene and
Identified the body as that of her
daughter Susan.
Mrs. Shaw said she could only
remember that "Susan was over
come by gas fumes" in their
apartment, Hansen reported.
Mrs. Shaw, formerly of Clinton,
la., has been held in the psycho
pathic ward of Ceneral Hospital
on a technical booking of suspi
cion of murder.
She was arrested 24 hours ear
lier after police learned from an
older daughter, Pamela, 11, that
Susan had been missing since
Wednesday.
The coroner's office said the
child had been dead for several
days. The body was in good con
dition and there were no apparent
marks or bruises. An autopsy will
be performed Monday.
Police Seek
Bomb During
Graham
PRINCETON, N.J. I - Evan
gelist Billy Graham spoke to a
capacity crowd in Princeton Uni
versity's Alexander Hall Sunday
night while police hunted a time
bomb in the building.
The crowd was unaware of the
search and Graham was not in
formed until he had finished
speaking. No bomb was found.
Police said they made the
search after receiving an anon
ymous telephone call which they
believed was made by a crank.
The caller said a time bomb was
planted in the basement of the
building.
Police arrived at the hall after
Graham had started his address.
It was decided not to clear the
hall after a hurried consultation
with Michael Koplincr, head uni
versity proctor. Kopliner suggest
ed that the crowd could not be
cleared out in time and persons
might be injured in the confusion
that might result.

3Ieirs Dormitory
Of Former President of College
By CHARLES IRELAND
Valley Editor. The Statesman
MONMOUTH The first big men's dormitory ever built at Oregon
College of Education was dedicated as Roben J. Maaske Memorial
Hall Sunday.
Some 300 dignitaries and guests overflowed the dining hall of the
sparkling, new building to hear speakers eulogize Dr. Maaske, who as
college president guided plans for
the new dormitory until his un
timely death a year ago.
Official presentation of the hall
was made by Leif Finseth, Dallas,
chairman ef the committee on
buildings for the State Board of
Higher Education.
N'e Tax Money
Dr. R. E. Licuallen, OCE presi
dent, reminded the assemblage
that the $300,000 hall was con
structed at no expense to tax
payers. Room rent paid by stu
dents is expected to amortize the
cost.
The. new 100-bed hall has at least
temporarily eased a tight housing
situation at OCE where enrollment
has zoomed from a wartime low
of 117 to nearly 700.
Previously, male students lived
at Arnold Arms and Westside
House which combined, accom
modate approximately 50 students.
These dormitories now join 135
bed Jessica Todd Hall as women's
dormitories.
Rounding out on-campus living
quarters is "The Village," erected
to house GI students and still
filled to its 44-family capacity by
married students.
Many Commute
Other students live at private
homes here while scores commute
to classes.
In his acceptance remarks,
President Ueuallrn told mem
bers of the State Board of High
er Education that OCE would soon
be asking for a new women's
dormitory, too.
Speakers included Mrs. Roben
J. Maaske, widow of the educator
for whom the hall is named.

Return Home
'Under Threat'
r
NEW YORK I - Five Russian
sajlors who -obtained asylum in
the United States have returned to
Russia, it was disclosed Sunday.
The church world service charged
they were frightened into return
ing by Soviet agents.
Jan Van Hoodstratten, assistant
director of the Church World Serv
ice, an agency of the National
Council of Churches, said the sail
ors were given a hearing by im
migration officials 20 minutes be
fore they left Idlewild airport Sat
urday. They were represented by
Soviet counsel, the church service
said...
The sailors were among a group
of nine who obtained asylum in
the United States when Chinese
nationalists captured a Russian
tanker with a crew of 48 in June,
1954.
Immigration officials in Wash
ington confirmed their departure
but said they had no control over
exit permits. The immigration
agency declined further comment.
In New York, immigration offi
cials were silent on the case. The
State Department and the Justice
Department i n Washington said
they had not heard of the five
returning.
Van Hoodstratten said he had
nc reason to believe Soviet agents
beat or drugged the sailors. "They
have other ways of showing peo
ple they can handle them," he
said. I

out farm fight the first major ord
er of business.
The compromise farm bill
worked out by Senate-House con
ferees goes first to "the House,
with a vote expected Wednesday.
In advance of House action.
President Eisenhower and Repub
lican Congressional leaders met
Monday morning to map admin
istration strategy.
Eisenhower hasn't given his
views on the completed compro
mise but Secretary of Agriculture
Benson said after a White House
conference Saturday that the
measure "is not acceptable to
me la its present form. -
The bill meets Eisenhower's re
quest for a soil bank plan that
would provide payments to farm
ers who take surplus cropland out
of production. But it also calls for
a one-year restoration of the man
datory, high farm price supports
opposed by the administration.
The House fight is expected to
center - around a GOP move to
return the bill to the conferees,
with instructions to make it con
form more closely to White House
wishes.
Under the procedure to be fol
lowed, the House after one hour of
debate will take a single vote on
accepting the compromise or re
turning it to the conference com
mittee.
