MtDrORD (OKSaOH MAE. T1UBTBIX HXX8 Farm Price Fall May Cost GOP Chance To Regain Congress, Jenner Says o Tuesday, September IS. 1SSS . G 0 Indiana Senator Sees Situation in Midwest Critical Washington U.PJ Sen. Wil liam E. Jenner (R.-Ill.) said to day that falling farm prices may cost the ReDublicans their chance to regain control of Con Kress next year, even with Presi dent Eisenhower heading the ticket. The Indiana Republican back from a grass roots survey of his state, said in an interview that "it's going to be hard for the Republicans to carry congres sional elections in the Midwest u tne larm picture aeienoraies much more. Program Needed "Some farm program has got to be evolved," Jenner said He said the four-year fall of farm prices, coupled with the rise in cost of the goods farmers buy, has hurt not only Midwest ern farmers, but the smau dusi- nessmen whose customers are chiefly farmers. Unless their troubles are solv ed, or at least eased, he said, the Republicans in 1956 may not only fail to win new congres sional seats but may lose some which they now hold by narrow margins. Jenner's analysis was gloom ier than that of most GOP lead ers, who have conceded that the farm vote now appears to be fithcir biggest trouble spot. Re publican state Chairmen, meet ing here last week, marked down the , farm problems .as a special area of concern. Refute To Vote Jenner said talks with local and district GOP leaders con vinced him that if the farm de gression continues, the 1956 election In the Midwest may be "another 1948," a year of Demo cratic victory. In his state, he said, many farmers who normal ly vote Republican would stay away from the polls. ' He said farm dissatisfaction probably would not cost Presi dent Eisenhower the vote of any mid-western state, assuming that the chief executive is again a candidate. But he predicted that tiOP congressmen from predom inantly rural districts would be in trouble and not even Mr Eisenhower may be able to bail jthem out. . Baruch Warns on Need (or Defense Force in Europe United Nations, (U.FD ( Th& West entered its third week of secret disarmament talks with Russia today with a firm warn ing from elder statesman Ber nard M. Baruch that "peace can not be made and kept" without a strong Allied defense force in Western Europe. Disarmament experts of the United States, Russia, . Britain, France and Canada meet for their ninth session after a week end recess. They were expected to give their attention to British Prime Minister Anthony Eden's plan for a mutual inspection of the armed forces confronting each other across Europe's Iron Ctfr tain. Should Maintain Fore Baruch, in a statement to the New York Herald Tribune, warned that the West should not reduce its armed forces until the gap between Western and So viet military strength is closed. "When World War H ended we and our Allies recklessly and foolishly dismantled our armed forces," he said. "The Soviet Union did not. "I have always felt that one of the main causes for the fail ure of the peace" has been the fact tJiat we permitted this tragic gap to develop between the armed strength of the So viets and the defenses of the West." Baruch said that "until that gap i3 overcome" he would con : tinue to oppose reduction of Western armed forces. St?

Four Found Guilty of Hiding Fugitive Reds in Sierra Resort Cabin Request Court To Set Aside Conviction San Francisco u.R) Four Communist party functionaries found guilty of harboring two fugitive Reds in a remote Sierra resort cabin have asked the U.S. Ninth Court of Appeals to set aside their conviction. The court took their appeal under submission yesterday aft er hearing arguments by defense and government attorneys. The four, Sidney Steinberg, Carl Edwin Ross, Samuel Cole man and Mrs. Shirley Kremen, were arrested Aug. 27, 1953 in a resort cabin at Twain Hart, Calif., along with Robert Thom as, top Communist official who was a fugitive from a Smith Act conviction in New York. Steinberg also was wanted at the time on a Smith Act indict ment. Defense attorney Norman Leonard argued yesterday that the Federal Bureau of Investiga tion acted illegally when its agents swooped down on the cabin because it didn't know that Mrs. Kremen. Coleman and Ross "were different from any other vacationists in the area.'' He called the raid illegal search and seizure and said "there was no showing that the others knew the identity of Thompson and Steinberg, Assistant U. S. attorney Rob ert Schancke told the court that Leonard "started with a false premise and arrived at a false Youth Activities Group Adopts Constitution Ashland A constitution in corporating the Ashland-Talent Youth Activities council has been adopted at a meeting held here. Purpose of the new constitu tion is promotion and perpetua tion of the growth of character building - organizations in the Ashland and Talent areas, ac cording to Ken Jones, president. Gordon C. Hays, is chairman of this year's drive. . . East Pakistan has an area of about 54,500 square miles. conclusion." He said there was no doubt the three knew who the fugitives were and why they were hiding. Schancke said the FBI had warrants for the two Commu nist leaders, had the cabin under surveilance for a long period of time and "there was a probabil ity that they were giving aid, shelter and assistance to the fugitives." He added that the agents "would have been remiss in their duty if they had not ar rested the others as well." Suphur is an important ingre dient that helps give the skunk's secretion its evil odor.
