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.

Dulles Tells Reasons
For Recalling Troops
Washington (P Secretary
of State Dulles Tuesday de
scribed the decision to with
draw two United States divi
sions from Korea as due to a
combination of circumstances,
Judge Clark on
Way to Home
Paris M" Suspended Chief
Justice William Clark of the
U. S. Appeals Court in Ger
many said Tuesday an Ameri
can consul general threatened
him with jail if he refused to
surrender his diplomatic pass
port. 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. Schar-
i schmidt, who has moved to
1 Longview, Wash., to accept a
i position as manager of the
i Portland, Longview and North
em Railway, has been associ
: ated with the Long Bell Lum
1 ber company at Grand Ronde
1 for many years.
and listed them under these
headings:
1. 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.

French Discount
Laos Invasion
Paris W) A French foreign
ministry spokesman discount
ed Tuesday the military im
portance of the Vietminh in
vasion of Laos.
He also threw cold water on
a suggestion in the Paris news
paper Le Monde that France
should ask the United States
to send troops to Indochina,
now cut in half by the communist-led
move.
Donald Heath, the U.S. am
bassador in Saigon, Issued a
statement denying newspaper
speculation there that the
United States would send to
Indochina the two divisions
it is withdrawing from Korea.
Heath recalled, however, that
Eisenhower said American
troops would be maintained in
the Far East in sufficient num
bers to provide security.
The foreign ministry spokes
man refuted reports france
was considering asking for
for American troops, saying.
"There is absolutely nothing
in it, and I can deny it com
pletely." 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.

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.

reported.
Collins was ciiscoverra un
conscious on his bunk about
10:30 a.m. when city police
Sgt. 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.

Johnston, president of th.

it as old fashioned. The John

"The code like the Consti
