The Bulletin, Monday, January 13, 1964 Estimate made of return to wheat farmers in new plan proposed for U.S. ' WASHINGTON (UPI)-Agri- cimure Lieparment omcials es timated todav that the Admin istration's proposed new wheat program would give fanners an average return o ?1.75 a bush el in 1964. Under the proposal made last ween by Agriculture Sec retary Orville L. Freeman. wheat millers would pay about $2 a bushel for wheat used in the domestic food market. Freeman ureed quick approv al of the program. A House subcommittee is scheduled to begin closed sessions Tuesday to draft new legislation aimed at heading oft what Freeman estimates would be a $600 mil lion drop in farmers' income under the present wheat pro gram. Freeman uraed the subcom mittee to draft a new program under which farmers who vol untarily comply with govern ment planting controls would get price supports including 8 children, mother die in hi a ze PORT NORMS, N.J. (UPI) -Eight small children and their mother were killed Sunday when an overloaded space heat er set their shack in this fishing community on fire. Firemen said Mrs. Virginia Johnson, 26, and her children "never had a chance." The father, David Johnson, 34, a commercial fisherman, was at tea when his family was wiped out. Six of the children, ranging In age from 4 to 11 years were found in a pile inside the front door. Another child, 2, and one 10 months, were found in their beds. "It went up so fast we couldn't get near it because of the intense heat," said Fire Chief Henry Taylor. He said an overloaded wood space heater in the living room started the fire. The heater was raised about six inches above the floor but the heat ap parently set the wooden floor of the shack on fire. "We found them all in the front room. There were two beds, one on either side of the room and a large crib against the door," Taylor said. He said It looked as if Mrs. 'Johnson had tried to pull the ierib away from the front door. Firemen found the shack completely ablaze when they arrived, Taylor said. No one could enter until the flames were brought under control. "These small places go up awfully fast," he said. "They just didn't make it before they all suffocated." The shack was located on Port Norris Road in this Cum berland County community. New outburst noted in India CALCUTTA (UPI) -Roving bands of riotous Hindus and Moslems defied army and po lice bullets today and stormed through the streets of this city in new outbreaks of arson and looting. More than 60 persons have been killed since the religious rioting started last Thursday. Home Minister Gulzarilal Nanda told army paratroop com manders controllinB five city districts to "show no mercy" toward the rioters, aoicuers anu police were posted at strategic street Intersections in an effort to stop the riots. The government radio report ed several shooting incidents early today. An around-the-clock curfew was ignored. The rioting was triggered by the theft of a sacred hair, said to have come from the beard of the Moslem prophet Moham med. It was taken from a shrine in Srinagar, but later recovered. Jury returns guilty verdict SHELTON, Wash. (UPI) - A Mason County Superior Court jury late Saturday night re turned a verdict of guilty in first degree murder trial of Robert Booth, 43, who was ac cused of slaying his former wife, Novella, with a .22 cali ber rifle last September. The jury did not recommend the Ceath penalty. Booth testified Saturday that he accidentally shot his former wife when he tripped while car rying the rifle. Booth admitted the shooting took place after an evening ot annmng anu quai reUng. both traditional price support loans and redeemable market ing certificates. He gave no further details leaving these for the legisla tors to work out. But other Agriculture Department offi cials, queried on how the plan could be drafted to meet ad ministration demands that it maintain farm income and cut surpluses without "excessive" government cost, furnished this tentative blueprint: Farmers who wanted to get price support would have to plant within their Individual shares of the 1964 national acreage allotment of 49.5 mil lion acres, down 10 per cent irom last year. Producers who complied would become eligible for gov ernment price support loans at $1.25 per bushel. Some backers of the new program want to set the rate at $1.30 but many administration officials favor the $1.25 rate. In addition growers under the proposed new plan would get "domestic marketing c e r t i f i cates" worth about 75 cents a bushel on about 45 per cent of their normal production from the farm allotment. This would give the complying farmer about $2 a bushel on his indi vidual share of the domestic wheat market. For practically all of the rest of his normal production, the farmer taking part in the pro gram would get "export mar keting certificates" worth 25 or 30 cents apiece. This would raise his return on wheat cov ered by the export certificates to $1.50-$1.55 per bushel. Some proponents of the new program favor use of one mar keting certificate instead of the two domestic and export certifi cates. Most Agriculture Depart ment officials lean toward the dual system, however. Farmers who get the certifi cates could sell them for cash for eventual purchase by proc essors and exporters who would be required by law to acquire certificates covering all wheat they handle. Critics of the certificate plan already have attacked it as a "bread tax." The attack is based on the ground that a sub stantial part of the cost of wheat would be In the certifi cate price, which would be passed on to consumers, rather than in the price of the grain itself. Wage increase proposal eyed SALEM (UPI) Recommend ed increased wages in p u b 1 i c housekeeping occupations will bo aired at a meeting of the Oregon Wage and Hour Com mission in Portland Thursday. Recently recommended was a wage floor of $1 an hour for women and 85 cents for minors employed in hotels, motels, res taurants, taverns, clubs and similar workplaces.

The present provision for a half day's pay when an em ploye is required to report for work that does not materialize also received commission en dorsement. Labor Commissioner Norman O.

(UPI)-Paul Amos Sandblom, who a court-appointed receiver said owes at least $27 million to "solid people from California to the East Coast," sat in jail today and waited for his law yers to post $25,000 bond.

Sandblom's lawyers said their clients' cause might not be hopeless. Oscar Spite, one of Sand blom's attorneys, said the securities tycoon could save much of his fading fortune by suing some of his creditors for charging too much interest.

Asked Sunday if the United States could afford to give up tne zone or its miutary base, Rusk said: "The answer is no, and I have not heard any re sponsible person take any other viewpoint." In a television interview Rusk said all parties involved in ne gotiations started after the bloody noting in Panama are agreed that "the first order of business is the restoration of peace." Panamanian President Ro berto F. Chiari has demanded renegotiation of the 1903 treaty that give the United States per petual control of the Canal Zone and Panamanian Ambas sador Aquilino Boyd has told the United Nations that the United States must give up the canal. Rusk indicated that Chiari was in agreement with U. S. representatives in Panama that peaceful negotiations could iron Rare show of Arab unify is displayed CAIRO (UPI)-Leaders of 13 Arab states gathered today in a rare show of unity to plan ways of preventing Israel from diverting the waters of the Riv er Jordan. United Arab Republic Presi dent Gamal Abdel Nasser called the three-day meeting of the Arab League amid talk of a "march on Palestine," but ob servers said there was little chance the Arab nations would decide to attack Israel. Israel plans to divert the Jor dan waters before they reach the territory of its Arab neigh bor, Jordan, by pumping water from the Sea of Galilee, from which the Jordan flows. It will be used to irrigate the Negev, Israel's undeveloped desert, by means of a 100-mile pipeline. The sea is on Israel's border with Syria, a short distance from Jordanian territory. The Arab states fear the proj ect could mean increases for Israel's population and resourc es and a consequent rise in military power. Jordan s King Hussein told his countrymen in a broadcast Sun day that he hopes the other Arab nations will agree here "upon one flag for a unified army which will march toward Palestine." Hussein, who arrived here Sunday, said Jordan Is ready "to spearhead any Arab deci sion toward restoring Palestine, which must be discussed as a whole and not only about the Jordan waters." The Arab state of Jordan and the Jewish state of Israel now share the former territory of Palestine. Although Israel's shooting war with the Arab states ended in 1948. it is still technically at war with Jordan, But observers here said that instead of war, the summit was likely to produce plans for Arab development of the Jordan, an intensified boycott campaign against Israel, and increased publicity for Arab rights In Pal estine.
