Paw l ?Z BREAK Farm Program Guess Contest Washington A guessing game involving participants all over the world has developed around the closely guarded drafting of a new farm aid pro gram the Eisenhower adminis tration plans to lay before Con gress next month. The big questions center largely on farm price supports, production control programs, export plans, and methods for dealing with a present four-billion-dollar farm program. The speculation is worldwide because of the possible influ ence the recommendations may have on commodity markets at home and abroad. U. S. price support programs in the past have had far-reaching effects on markets in other countries as well as in this one. Secretary of Agri culture Benson and his close associates are keeping mum on the farm recommendations President Eisenhower will include in his State of the Union message to Congress.

The jurist arrived here Tues day from Spain en route to the United States after American diplomatic officers took the special passport and gave him one-way papers to return home. Clark was suspended by the State Department Dec. 8 when he refused to return to Wash ington. Clark said the jail threat was made two days ago at Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, where he and his wife were va cationing. "I was told that I had to surrender it the passport and that if I didn't the police would be advised," he asserted. "I naturally surrendered.it." The tall, distinguished look ing judge, who claims he was dismissed because he criticized U. S. High Commission poli cies in Germany, said Secre tary of State Dulles sent a sec ond cable "which ordered the chief of police of Las Palmas to pick up the passport." He said he was leaving for New jYork Thursday on the Queen Mary and that he would make no statement on his troubles , with the State Department un til he arrived in America. T. A. Beck Appointed Willamina T. A. Beck has been appointed to fill the un expired term as director of the i Union High School board, made vacant by the resignation of Howard Scharschmidt.

There was a large build up of American strength in Korea immediately prior to the armistice, which was a reason why the Reds agreed to an armistice. The two divisions which will be withdrawn are approximately equivalent to the amount of the build-up. 2. The withdrawal is in ac cord with one of the Important reasons for havihg made an armistice in Korea which was to get away from having Unit ed States forces pinned down on the mainland of Asia. 3. As President Eisenhower has emphasized, there has been a very substantial build up of American sea and air power. Furthermore the Unit ed states has pointed out that if there is a renewal of hos tilities in Korea or If Red China openly intervenes in In dochina the reaction would not necessarily be confined to the theater of operations Indochina or Korea. There would be more reliance on sea and air power which would give this country a greater choice in its military responses.

Nitrogen Taken From the Air Seattle W) Dr. William A. Pearl, head of the Institute of Technology at Washington State College, reported Tues day that nitrogen has been tak en from the air successfully in a fertilizer research project at the institute. He made the report in con nection with his appointment as Bonneville administrator, in commenting on expanding new uses for electric power. He said it is a new process of nitrogen fixation which may prove of great agricultural value. Dr. Pearl said the next step would be the building of a "pi lot" plant for limited produc tion purposes. He said it prob ably would be at Pullman, One of the advantages, he said, would be the opportunity to manufacture nitrates during periods when excess, or inter' ruptible, power is available. He said it could be in any of several forms and engineers are continuing to try to cut the costs of production. NEW ZEALAND QUAKE Auckland.

Bay Slate to RecognizeTexas Boston, W Massachusetts is moving to correct a 108 year-old oversight. The Bay State is planning to recognize Texas as a state in the union While other states acknowl edge Texas as a member of the union since Dec. 29, 1845, Massachusetts has lagged a bit behind. Seems the General Court of Massachusetts state legislature Massachusetts (state legislature to non-Yankees) once resolved not to acknowledge the ad mission of Texas and to use "her utmost exertions ... to defeat its accomplishment." That was in March, 1845, while the union was tearing in two over the slavery-aboli tion controversy. That was settled rather bloodily a few years later but Texas and Massachusetts never did set tle their spat. It wasn't -until a couple of weeks ago that someone prowl ing through the Bay State's cluttered statutes they go back to the early 1600: found that the antl Texas resolve has never been re pealed. Monday night, on the eve of the 108th anniversary of the Lone Star State's admission date in 47 states, that is Masachusetts Gov. Christian Herter initiated action to make it unanimous.

Ersel Mundinger went to his cell to get him for his at torney. When he was unable to arouse Collins, Deputy Sher iff Jack Millard was called and both attempted to awaken him. First aid men were then called and found that he had apparently taken some of the poison solution probably with in the hour before ne was dis covered. He was rushed to Salem Me morial Hospital by Willamette Ambulance service under guard where doctors used a stomach pump to empty the stomach. Although the dose was not enough to be fatal, it would have made him a pret ty sick man, they said. He was returned to the jail a short time later suffering only from a stomach irritated by the poi son and the stomach pump. Collins got the poison into his cell from a trusty whose job it is to clean the jail, po lice said. The city jail is used to house both city and county prisoners until the new court house is completed. He has been threatening sui cide ever since his apprehen sion in Portland last week for Salem police on the charge of stealing about 3540 of cash and items from the cabin of O. L. F. Taylor and Gordy Levy at the Southern Pacific railroad labor camp on November 27, officers learned. He told other prisoners he was going to eat some broken glass and had told detectives who returned him from Portland that "you can't take a dead man to the peni tentiary." Collins was released from jail here only eight days be fore the cabin burglary and about five weeks before his arrest on the charge after serv ing a year's sentence for con tributing to the delinquency of a minor. He appeared in Marion county district court Monday and was granted a continuance of arraignment until he could consult an attorney. He is to reappear Thursday. The trusty who furnished the poison to Collins has been re turned to his cell as a regular prisoner with all trusty privi leges taken away from him and all "good time" toward an ear lier release lost, police said. There will probably be no oth er action taken against him. No One Hurt in Airliner Crash Vancouver, B. C.

Erie Johnston defended today the motion picture lndiMtrv. self imposed production emu as "a living document" and said it has never laid "a dead hand" on creative endeavor Johnston, president of th. Motion Picture Association r America, made the defense of the morality code in a letter addressed to Film Producer Sam Goldwyn who criticized it as old fashioned. The John ston letter was released here by the association which drew up the code in 1930. "The code like the Consti tution of the United States, is a living document for living people," Johnston pointed out to uoiawyn. -mat has been demonstrated, I think, through the amendments and the inter pretations, all within the basic principles of the code, that have been nuuie since th code's adoption." French Attack Incochina Reds Hanoi, Indochina Com m u n i s t - led Vietminh troops which made a lightning drive to cut Indochina in two appar ently have achieved a "prestige and political success," but they are going to have a hard time trying to stay there. The French are pouring re inforcements into central Indo china and already have open ed what might be termed the first phase of a counter-offensive. Pilots flying American-supplied B-28 bombers and Bear cat fighters are hammering Vi etminh concentrations north of the rebel occupied town of Thakhek, on the Mekong Riv er bordering Thailand, and rear supply bases. The Vietminh supplied their swift push from the South China Sea across Laos by using a vast army of coolies carry ing war equipment, ammuni tion and provisions on their backs. These human pack trains, moving through the rugged jungle and mountainous coun try toward Thakhek, are get ting a heavy pounding. i litiTITIWiTil.l HEIDOVW I ENDS TODAY Omi 1:4s III " A. 1 1 rfeism. j A -Alio-ERROLFlYNNf !
