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

Force in Europe
United Nations, (U.FD

Baruch, in a statement to the

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

West."
Baruch said that "until that
gap i3 overcome" he would con
: tinue to oppose reduction of
Western armed forces.

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

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."
