year unless marketing quotas
are put on farmer sales was ap
proved by the house today. The
vote was 150 to 66.
Prompt senate action may
send the measure to the White
House by tomorrow night.
The bill also expands the po
tato give-away program in an
effort to deal with the surplus
that has piled up under the gov
ernment's program of buying
potatoes to maintain the price.
Before the house voted, big
city members cried that consum
ers are "rising up" against the
high cost of food. One city
member shouted that the "farm
lobby is going full steam ahead."
Rep. Poage (D., Tex.) told the
house, in reply, that farm prices
have dropped 23 percent in re
cent months, but no other prices
have suffered such a decline.

An old-fashioned "town meet-
rn hn nnnnrf iinitv tn 11tn in
and question candidates for pub -
lie office, has been suggested for
Marion county.
The idea is a brain-child of
Gene Malecki, a candidate for
state representative.
He suggests that all candidates
for Marion county offices and
for state offices in this area, ap
pear in a public forum for the
purpose of airing their plat
forms before the citizens
At the proposed forum, all
candidates from both parties
would be given a chance to
speak their piece and tell what
they represented and what they
intended to do if elected.
The public would be invited
to ask questions from the floor,
directing each question to any
candidate they might designate.
An impartial person would serve
as chairman of the meeting.
Malecki is anxious to hear
fiom other candidates to see
whether or not they would be
interested in participating
such a meeting

German Police
rL n iuj.
Berlin, March 18 UP) Ameri
can-controlled German police
seized 27 young communists
early today in a drive to stamp
out Red demonstrations in West
Berlin.
U. S. public safety officials
announced the arrests started
about midnight and continued
until 6 a.m. in three boroughs
of the American sector.
The previous night, 18 mem
bers of the communist "Free
German Youth" were jailed for
marching in an American sector
and singing communist songs
Officials indicated the police
action was part of a "get tough"
campaign to discourage 500,000
young communists from at
tempting disorders in their
"march on Berlin" May 27-30.
Twenty-five of those seized
early today were residents of
Soviet-occupied East Berlin. Po
lice accused them of trying to
post communist placards and
paint communist slogans on
walls. '
The East Berlin communist
press has strongly urged young
communists to litter the Ameri
can sector with "go home" signs.

Bridges today.
Bridges, west coast longshore

obtaining United States citizen
ship. The government charges
he swore falsely that he had not
been a communist.
Five times in the first half
hour, James Maclnnis of defense
counsel, leaped up with objec
tions to Oonohuc's arguments.
Each lime he was overruled.
Donohue recalled that when
the trial started about four
months ago, Vincent Hallinan,
chief defense attorney, had spo
ken of Bridges as "our hero."
"God help America," said
Donohue, "if Bridges is the
standard of heroism in this coun
try he would destroy."

friends at the Chemawa school.
The three girls were in the group
from Washington
At Chemawa one of their
friends reported he had keys to

Unemployment
Nears 5 Million
Washington, March 16 UP)
Government economists showed
concern today over how to
clamp a- lid on unemployment,
now inching" toward the five mil
lion mark.
By 1960, they said, the nation
will have to provide jobs for
some 70,000,000 workers, in
stead of the 60,000,000 consid
ered the top goal for the imme
diate postwar era.
But the increase in the labor
force apparently has brought no
corresponding rise in job op
enings in recent months.
Census takers counted 4,
700,000 jobless on Feb. 11. Stat
isticians say the number may
pass the 5,000,000 point this
year, for the first time since
1941.
Already a dozen areas have
been stricken with unemploy
ment described as equal to that
of 1933. While most of these are
small, scattered places with spe
cial problems, 43 areas are class
ed as having "substantial" sur
pluses in manpower meaning
that more than 12 per cent of
their workers are walking the
streets.
Truman Says
'Trip Was Fine'
Key West, Fla., March 16 UP)
President Truman arrived at
this vacation retreat today say
ing he had a fine trip "but lost
four pounds."
Mr. Truman was on the bridge
a" tne presidential yacht Wil-
liamsburg docked at 7 a.m. He
descended to a deck and joked
with welcomers ashore.
"It was a fine trip," he said.
"The first night and day were
pretty rough, then it was smooth
as a mill pond.
"I lots four pounds," he said
with a hearty laugh. "I couldn't
eat."
He was asked if he would
come by ship again.
"Yes, it was a very nice trip.
I think everybody enjoyed it."
Mr. Truman, who had just
waved for photographers on the
dock, in high humor then order
ed the photographers to wave
for a navy cameraman aboard
the ship.

Housing Bill
Up to House
Washington, March 16 UP' A
bitter senate defeat left the fate
of President Truman's middle
income housing program square
in the hands of the house today.
The senate chopped the en
tire program out of a catch-all
housing bill late yesterday on a
tight 43, to 38 vote. Its senate
backers promptly began rooting
for a house victory which might
give them another chance.
"If that happens," said Sen
ator Sparkman (D-Ala.), "we
need only change three votes
or get some more democrats on
the floor to win."
A combination of 30 republi
cans and 13 democrats, mostly
from the south, administered
the death blow in the senate.
Frantic last-minute efforts by
Senator Maybank (D-S.C.).to
peg interest rates at 4 per cent,
instead of a lower figure, failed
to pick up enough votes for vic
tory. The rest of the bill, carrying
more than $3,000,000,000 in
government loans and mortgage
insurance for various other pro
grams was approved.
Navy Planes
Zoom Over Hue
Saigon, Vietnam, Indochina,
March 16 UP) U.S. navy carrier
planes zoomed over the Indo
Chinese coast today in a demon
stration of American air strength
and support for the new French
sponsored state of Vietnam.
The aircraft carrier Boxer,
standing about 60 miles off Cape
St. Jacques, launched 42 planes
for a flight over Hue, the capital
of central Vietnam (Annam),
and the nearby port of Tourane.
Simultaneously, the American
destroyers Stickwell and Ander
son, with a French escort, sped
50 miles up river to Saigon, with
a band playing aboard the Stick
Well and white-clad sailors man
ning the rails. .
As it came within sight of Sai
gon the Stickwell, leading, fired
21-gun salutes to the French
union and the state of Vietnam.

ed. Vice-Adm. Russell S. Berkey,
commander of the U.S. Seventh

and went aboard the Stickwell,
his flagship during the navy's
five-day visit. This afternoon
he will be visited aboard the
destroyer by former Emperor
Bao Dai, Vietnam's chief of
state, and Prime Minister Nguy
en Phan Long.
Psychiatric Hospital
Asked for Offenders
Addition of a psychiatric hos
Dital at the stafp
sex offenders could be classified
and treated was suggested by H.
M. Randall, director of parole
and Drobatinn riurin? a riicrtic-

Randall said that while the in

dealt with immediately he said
thev should be handler! canal v
and intelligently. They do not
an lonow tne same pattern and
that is one reason why Governor
Douglas McKav's recommenda

Double Murder,
Suicide Listed
Gary, Ind., March 16 UP) The
slaying of three men at a farm
east of Gary was listed as a
double murder and suicide to
day, but officers still were trying
to fill in a number of missing ae
tails. Two fragmentary notes, one
written partly in Russian, and a
statement from a farmhand were
all they had to work with. The
motive still was not apparent,
and the identity of the killer was
not determined.
The dead were Paul Shuman,
about 55, owner of the farm; his
nephew, Ignace Gerashenek,
about 50, and a farmhand known
only as Fred.
Deputv Coroner L. M. Fried-
rich said, "It looks like double
murder and suicide." At first
he had called the case a triple
murder.
Dr. Friedrich said a note writ
ten partly in Russian, found near
Shuman's body, said, "Been go
ing crazy for the past year."
Town Marshal Lon Daugherty
said a second note, signed
"GAR," said, "Please don't both
er Saganovich. He not guilty
with this." The reference was
to Michael Saganovich, one of
Shuman's farmhands. He was
held without charge for ques
tioning. Dale Carnegie

Navy Tender
Pearl Harbor, March 16 UP
Search centered today 400 miles
north of Kwajalein island for a
missing navy tender bearing 33
men enroute to Eniwetok island.
The craft, the Elder comman
ded by Lt. William F Adams of
San Diego, was due in Eniwetok
Monday with a cargo of naviga
tional buoys for the atomic prov
ing grounds. She was last sight
ed 700 miles from Eniwetok by
the transport A. W Brewster.
The tender was in nq apparent
trouble then.
A spokesman for the Hawaii
an sea frontier said it was pos
sible the tender might have
struck a floating mine and been
sunk. The general feeling here
was that her diesel motor had
gone dead, silencing her radio.
Six planes from Kwajalein
searched the area today for tra
ces of the small craft Eight
planes dispatched from Oahu
island yesterday to search the
Johnston island area have been
recalled.
No surface craft have been as
signed to the search as yet.
France Accepts
American Arms
Paris, March 16 (P) France's
national assembly today voted
to accept American arms for use
against the spread of communf
ism.
With only communist deputies
opposing, the assembly voted
416 to 181 to authorize ratifica
tion of the arms aid agreement
reached by France and the U.S.
Nov. 27.
The measure still must be con
sidered by other parliamentary
house, the council of the repub
lic, which has only advisory and
delaying powers.
The assembly vote followed a
long but unexpectedly quiet de
bate. There was no repetition of
filibusters and violence which
the communists used vainly last
week in trying to prevent adop
tion of an anti-sabotage bill to
block Red-led interference with
the shipment and unloading of
arms cargoes.
The National Geographic So
ciety says the Scottish Highlands
have been nearly depopulated
for 200 years.
