Benson said farmers "are not sharing as fully as I would like" in the current "unprecedented" prosperity, but added "I am con vinced there are better days ahead." "There are weak spots in our agricultural economy but funda mentally it is sound and healthy," Benson said. Bumps on Road Ahead "There will be bumps along the road ahead, just as there have been in the past," he said. "But there will be smooth stretches, too." Benson, in a speech prepared for delivery at the Bioomington Pantaeranh's Farm and Soil Day, said the nation has been undergoing a transition "from a war economy to one more closely geared to normal markets and conditions." Research Important Benson stressed the import ance of a step-up in research and education programs as "perhaps the greatest single contribution government can make to Ameri can agriculture." He touched on the possibilities of using "atoms for agriculture." "We have an atom-powered submarine," he said. "Why not an atom-powered tractor some day?" Benson said atomic research also may devise more effective ways of using fertilizers, and find a cheap way to remove salt from sea water for irrigation of desert areas.

Good Soldier But his commanding officer said Green was a "good soldier q . . who jumped his trolley." An Air Force spokesman said that Green had denied stealing the money and that an investiga tion of the charge "was still in progress at the time he went berserk." He said he knew "nothing about the report that Green als was under investigation for an alleged attack on a British girl. The only other casualty that was involved in Green's ram page was only slightly injured and returned to duty today. He was T. Sgt. John M. Gouviea, 35, Sant'a Clara, Calif.

She persuaded the other women of the town to take the romance out of their mar riages until the husbands quit fighting. The plot worked like a charm and the war ended. Mrs. Quigley is putting much the same stratagem to work on the economic front. She has already organized a march of workers' wives on strike head quarters, proclaiming "we're not for either side, but for the weekly paycheck."8 World Fame So far none of the other wives has joined Mrs. Quigley itt show ing a striking husband the door.

Mrs. Quigley, the mother of two small children, said her life with' Quigley was a happy one until 400 UAW workers went out on strike Aug. 16 demand ing a 20-cent pay increase and other benefits. It was then, she said, that she discovered Quigley had broken his promise to stay out of union activities. He had even led a pre-strike work stoppage which, according to the union, caused the company to fire him and prevents him from going back, to work before the strike ends even if he wants to.
