Benson said the new flexible farm price support programs, J passed by the Republicans and a opposed by most Democrats, will "help establish a sound farm Income, resting' on con sumer demand and markets, rather than the political whimsy of now-you-have it and now-you-don't legislation."

'Sick' Juror Said Trial's Only Hope Cleveland, O. (U.R) The seemingly stalled first degree wife-killing trial of Dr, Samuel H. Sheppard, brought almost to a halt with revelations, that one juror has a sonvictlon on a morals charge, might be put into high gear again if the panel members should report too sick to serve next week. . Assistant County , Prosecutor John J. Mahon said Saturday "It would be very convenient' if the man was not able to serve because of Illness, otherwise, his presence might jeopardize the conduct of proceedings and offer grounds for a mistrial later. Mahon also said he and his staff considered the identifica tion of the juryman to be "pretty definite." ' Should it be possible to re move him, he might then be replaced by a stlll-unchpsen al ternate. i I MrVH. ttjAlicJlTsYirtf t'ftfH itartW W i aM vys r: t .; --tr- ! .'.
