U.S. May Decrease
Prices for Cotton
3 Washington (U.P.) Secre-
-otary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben-
son Saturday served notice the
United States "may try to re-
,-r, claim some of its lost cotton
export markets by cutting ex-
" port prices on up to a million
bales of low quality cotton after
next Jan. 1.
The export0 sales from gov
ernment surplus stocks would
be a "gradual start" toward
whittling down the govern
ment's eight million bale sur
plus, Benson said.
Any f sales below current U.
S. prices will not be "perma
iiet policy," Benson added. He
teid "competitive price" sales
"would be a temporary measure
n designed to tep up export
UJ until Congress can reduce gov
ernment price support levels to
"Vut the entire American crop
"in a more competitive posi
tion," Benson said.
Orlando, Fla. (U.R) The

jaunt through a super-secret
guided missile base.
The student, Johnny Willis
Dukminier, a sophomore at Ok
lahoma State college at Edmond,
Okla., was jailed by the FBI af
tef his boastful report of his
stunt. An attorney said he
should "get a medal" and call
ed for public donations to help
bail him out.
Writes To President
Dukeminier wrote letters to
President Eisenhower, defense
officials and newspapers telling
of his unchallenged stroll thru
the Air Force guided missile test
center at Cape Canaveral, Fla.,
to prove that lax security would
permit an enemy agent to do the
same thing.
Authorities at Patrick Air
Force Base at Cocoa, Fla.,

investigations. showed that Duke
minier "had no access to any
classified information," during
his all-night "spying."
Wants Government Job
Dukeminier said he chose the
Canaveral center for his stunt
because he wants to get a gov
ernment job there after he com
pletes his studies.
The spokesman said Duke
minier "has a job with the gov
ernment right now he's in
the hands of the FBI and anyone
else who tries a similar stunt
will get the same kind of job
with the government."
Bail was set at $500 when

the federal code against "un
lawful entrance onto military
property."

Negotiators Fail
To Gain Agreement
On Repatriation
Geneva (U.R) American
and Chinese Communist negoti
ators failed again to reach an
agreement on repatriating U.S.
civilians today when the Reds
refused to give ironclad assur
ances about liberating the de
tained Americans. .
Informed sources said the Un
ited States was not in a position
to make any bargains until the
41 American nationals are pro
mised their freedom.
Deny Reports
American circles threw cold
water on reports from New Del
hi and Washington that agree
ment in principle had been
reached for a third power, In
dia, to check on Chinese stu
dents in the United States who
want to return to the mainland.
They did not deny that this
might be the subject of an even
tual accord, and this was widely
believed in formal circles to be
the pattern of the final solution.
But as of now, the reports were
labeled "premature."
Not Accurate Statement
"This is not an accurate state
ment of the facts as of now," an
American official said.
Dispatches from New Delhi
Saturday said India will not
agree to act as a third party un
less both the United States and
Red China ask for her good of
fices. But the New Delhi dispatch
es, quoting diplomatic report
from Geneva, hinted strongly
the two nations were expected
to reach agreement by Monday
or Tuesday.

AFL-CIO Merger
Given Go Ahead
Chicago (U.R) American
Federation of Labor leaders
have agreed to let the AFL
merger with the Congress of
Industrial Organizations go
ahead on schedule, but not with
out some misgivings.
AFL President George Meany
said at the end of an AFL con
ference Friday night that no
serious matters "which could
"block" the merger had come
up.
But some AFL presidents In
dicated a wary attitude towards
the union with the CIO.
Harry Lundberg, president of
the AFL Sailors' Union, said
"There's no brotherly love left
in the maritime industry." He
added, "I don't want Joe Curran
head of the CIO National Mari
time Union speaking for us."
President Signs Bill Authorizing Trinity Project
o
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower signed into
law Friday a bill authorizing the
$225,000,000 Trinity River Pro
ject in California.
The project was the only one
of a half dozen major water and
power proposals to be approved
by Congress in the recent ses
sion. Construction can start offic
ially immediately. Since Con
gress included 31,000,000 for it
in a public works appropriation
bill.
However, Rep.' Clair Engle
(D-Calif.), the author of the bill,
said the speed with which it can
be built may be determined by
the amount of money the admin
istration recommends for it in
the next fiscal year.
He and other sponsors plan
to ask the Interior Department
and the Budget Bureau to rec
ommend $15,000,000 (or more
for fiscal 1957).
The project would take five
years to complete. The main
structure is Trinity dam, about
450 feet high and costing $105,
000,000. The authorization bill, approv
ed earlier by the House, went
through the Senate three days
before the session's end, after
bills for five other western rec
lamation projects ran into road
blocks. .
The projects delayed at least
until next session include the
$1,000,000,000 Upper Colorado,
the $500,000,000 Hells canyon,
the $156,000,000 Fryingpan-Ar-
kansas, the $40,000,000 Washita
in Oklahoma and the $27,000,
000 Ventura in California.
The Trinity bill leaves for fu
ture congressional decision a
"partnership development plan
proposed by the Pacific Gas and
Electric company." The utility
offered to build the four power
houses involved and to pay the
government $3,500,000 a year
for the project's power potenital.
The bill directs the Interior
Department to study the propos
al and make a recommendation,
to Congress by February of 1957.
Trinity would be built and
operated as a unit of the larger
Central Valley Project. That was
started nearly 20 years ago and
more . than $400,000,000 has
been spent on it so far.
