But he ruled the payments were unauthorized and said they should be recovered. The challenged transaction oc curred in the spring of 1954 when the government support price on cheese dropped from 37- to 34 cents a pound under dairy price prop reductions ordered by Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson. Dealers Made Profit Agriculture Department of ficials said they feared dealers would dump cheese on the mar ket before the price drop took effect. So, the officials said, they bought 86,600,000 pounds in April at 37 cents a pound and resold it to the former owners the following month at 34 cents. Little, if any, of the cheese left its storage warehouses, it was said, and the dealers pick ed up $2,000,000 profit in a "pa per transaction." True D. Morse, acting secre tary of agriculture, said Camp bell's finding was directly con trary to the opinion of the Ag riculture Department's consel.

However, Alexander has been the object of recent pro test demonstrations among the native, population. No successor was named. Mr. Eisenhower thanked Alex ander for "the many excellent services and said the governor s health condition ft him "no alternative but to accept your resignation as requested." Alexander said in his letter of resignation that further serv ice would be risking a "serious heart impairment." He said only the "urgent admonitions" of his medical advisors "could, have persuaded me to take this re luctant step." L DAY SATURDAY We W5DI He eirvDimg he FoMowiinig .

It also saved the Agricul ture department the expense of unnecessarily moving the cheese to public warehouses and other costs, "thus providing a substantial saving to taxpayers" Morse said.
