Wilson Cabinet Divided; Day Near When Ike Must Be Told By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent "Washington U.R There's serious trouble deep inside the Eisenhower administration. If the President has not yet been informed of it, the day is near when he must be told. The cabinet is divided and a c t i vely dis puting what should be done about the price squeeze on farmers. The farm ers' costs remam hign. At tne same time they are getting less for what they produce and sell. This is notably true of farm ma chinery and of hogs. Corn-hog producers and the great mid -western corn -hog states long have been the bed rock of the Republican political structure. Falling pork and lard prices have jarred foundation and structure with an earth quaie shock. Vice - President Richard M. Nixon, Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. and Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield are among those battling to force Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson's hand in be half of hog raisers. Benson has been . standing pat, confident that President Eisenhower will suppport him and equally sure of the powerful support of Mr. Eisenhower's younger brother, Milton. President Must Act This, all adds up to a political conflict of major proportions which is reaching the point where the President must act if he is to avoid a bruising public row within his own administra tion. If Brownell failed during his week end visit to Denver to lay this one in Mr. Eisenhower's lap, it must have been only be cause the doctors insisted that the bad news be withheld. Benson is being urged to use some of the large and unallocat ed funds at his disposal to bail out the corn-hog producers. Ben son says the time is not yet for that. He has. argued that hog prices must go lower before government can intervene suc cessfully. Benson -is willing to do some thing for hog raisers, but he has preferred to wait whereas Nix on and some of his cabinet col leageus want instant action. The blue chips are down in this dis pute. Benson's opposition landed a haymaker during the recent Republican . governors' confer ence in Des Moines, la. Labor Writer Reports - Willard Shelton,' a discerning reporter who contributes a col umn to the "CIO News," relates it this way: "The GOP governors were greeted with a banner headline in the Des Moines Register, over a copyrighted story by the Reg ister's chief Washington cor respondent, Richard L. Wilson, saying that Nixon's viewpoint was that Benson must act' on the farmers' problems, and that Nixon had an appointment to tell Benson as much. "That was a dagger launched from the shadow," said Shelton. There is no doubt in Washing ton that Nixon gave the story to correspondent Wilson. The vice- president is too alert a politician to underestimate the political implications of his act. Shelton and the CIO, of course are delighted. The CIO is gun ning for Benson and so will be some Republicans around town if things fail to improve on the farm front. The current word is that Benson may act in a matter of days or weeks. - Group Furnishes Glasses To Needy - More than 105,000 men, wom en and children throughout the world have been furnished eye glasses and artificial eyes by New Eyes for the Needy, Inc., a group of 35 - women at Short Hills, N.J.

Use Tribune Werif Ads QUICK and EASYl Stevenson Accused off (Bowing To Pressure Over Farm Dssue Washington (U.R) Repub lican National Chairman Leon ard W. Hall has accused Adlai E. Stevenson of bowing to pres sure from Democratic party boss es by doing a "flip-flop" on the farm -price support issue. Hall in - a statement Sunday blasted Stevenson and New York Gov. Averell Harriman for en dorsing the rigid 80 per cent price props. Hog Buying Program Both Stevenson and Harriman endorsed the rigid supports in statements over the week end to a Democratic farm conference in Des Moines, la. They called for a federal hog-buying program and 90 per cent of parity price supports. Hall said that on Oct 7 in a speech at Green Bay, Wis., Ste venson said that a, 90 per cent program "was not' the answer to the farm problem." But on Friday, he said, Stevenson sent a statement to the 12-state meet ing endorsing 90 per cent sup- ports. Stevenson, when contacted at his farm in suburban Chicago, declined comment on Hall's statement. But an aide, Harry Ashmore, said "I'm not surprised that Mr. Hall is panic-stricken." Following the Des Moines con ference, Iowa's GOP state chair man Don Pierson said, "You can Marjorie Smith Trial Reopens in Yamhill .

Goodwin Knight of Calif ornia said Sunday the GOP has "a score or more" of men who could win the presidency next year but he is for President Eis enhower "first, last and al ways." The: Republican governor said that if Mr. Eisenhower decides not to run he (the President) should pick the candidate he wants if he thinks such a course is wise. Knight declined to discuss the presidential qualifications of Vice-President Richard M. Nix on, a long-time political foe in California politics. He denied he is "fighting with the vice-president or he with me." , Multnomah to Yamhill county on a defense motion; because of the widespread publicity given the case. .."
