(U.R) The Senate Agriculture committee was greeted today by a new blast' at the Eisenhower admin istration's farm program from a Republican farmer-legislator. . State Sen. Harold Golseth of Erwin, S.D., who is .also vice president of th state Farmer's Union, told the committee in a prepared statement, "We are definitely opposed to any type of sliding scale price supports." That was a reference to the administration's flexible farm program under which five major crops are supported this year be tween 82 k and 90 per cent of the "fair income" parity level. The range next year will be 75 90 per cent. Slap at Benson Golseth also delivered what his friends conceded was intend ed as a slap at. GOP Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson. He said the administration of any farm program is as important as the program itself. The GOP legislator testifed at the fourth of a series of "grass roots" hearings mapped by the committee to gather advice from farmers before writing a new farm bill next year. Another session is scheduled tomorrow at Minot,. N.D. Golseth urged the senators to approve a House-passed bill re storing the old Democratic pro gram of rigid "90 oer cent of parity for the family farm or ranch." . ' Golseth. like nearly all of 150 farmer witnesses interviewed by the committee in three previous Midwest hearings this, week, also endorsed a government land rental program. Such a program would provide federal "rent" subsidies to farmers who put surplus-producing crop land into grasses or other conservation crops, under contract with the government. Spokesmen for the Farmers Union and the more- conserva tive Farm Bureau Federation, two of the nation's "big three" farm organizations, seldom agree on farm policy. But Golseth's endorsement of the land-rental program followed an urgent plea for the same "new approach" at the committee's hearings at Des Moines. Ia., Wednesday by two influential Midwest state Farm Bureau presidents Howard Hill of Iowa and H. E. Slusher of Missouri. . Slusher said the current farm program "isn't working" and urged the committee to "take every opportunity to encourage the efficient farmer and discour age the inefficient." E. M. Young, white-haired farmer from McLaughlin, S.D., today offered the touring sena tors his own price support pro gram for wheat. . Young, describing himself to reporters as a "self - appointed committee of one" representing farmers who grow bread -type wheat said that tyoe of. grain should be supported separately from wheat raised for animal feed. Financing of New Traffic Signals Discussed at Meet The Medford citizens budget committee last night discussed financing installation of addi tional traffic signal lights near Medford, and the county bud get's general road fund tax. The meeting had been post poned two previous weeks for j lack of a quorum. ' The committee discussed fi nancing installation of a traffic light at the corner of Stewart and Oakdale aves. City Manager Robert Duff pointed out that one traffic light at Holly st. and Stewart ave. has been installed, but upon completion of opening Oakdale ave. south to the Jef ferson school site, anther light will be necessary i State Will Aid Also discussed was a traffic light at the intersection of Stew art and Riverside aves. The state will pay half the cost, the county and city will finance the remainder on a 50-50 basis. Total cost is estimated to be about $10,000 because the light will have to work in conjunction with the railroad crossing sig nal, Duff said. Medford's arterial street pro gram also was discussed. Duff pointed out that modifications are being made to the over-all proposed street project to bring it within the city's financial ability. The committee discussed the county budget in relation to the county road fund, and how cities might share in road funds for street improvements under Ore gon law. Jury at Newport Jeered for Verdict ' Newport (U.P.) An innocent verdict in a criminal assault case drew jibes and insults from a crowd of some 40 persons here yesterday. The crowd "verbally abused" the jury as it filed by outside the courtroom after acquiting Leslie Lee Henry, 23, of Sweet Home and Toledo, on a charge of criminal assault on a 17-year-old girl, according to Deputy Sheriff Jack Waterman. - Judge Fred McHenry said he talked to the Rev. George Virgil Dexter, pastor of the Free Meth odist church. 4 He said that the pastor "became quite apologetic, and as far as I am concerned the matter is closed now." The Rev. Dexter explained the girl was a member of his con gregation and was of "outstand ing character." He said "we felt quite badly about it ... " but added that he bore no animosity toward the judge and he thought the jury, did what it thought was right 28 New Candidates To French Academy Seek Immortality Paris (U.R) The French Academy, created 320 years ago just to write a dictionary, has resumed work with a busy au tumn ahead. The "immortals" are just on the letter "B," but of the fourth edition: ADart from" word-hunting and every one has to be simon nure French the members also have to replenish their ranks for the task ahead. Forty academic ians are allowed under xne ruies laid down by the founder, Card inal Richelieu.. There are four vacancies and at least 28 candi dates so far for the highest of highbrow titles in literary cir cles. '' O For those who jeer that they aren't getting through that dic tionary very fast, with 24 letters to go, the cocked-hatted and bottle-ereen-coated "iMmortals" point out that they're on their fourth edition. The last appeared in the 1930's. " Busy Candidates The date of the Academy's; election is Nov. 17. Before then, however, the Academy will install the "enfant terrible" of French literature, Jean Cocteau, who was elected last spring to the .seat of Jerome Tharaud. Cocteau will be formal ly received by Andre Maurois on Oct. 20. The business of being elected to the Academy represents a great deal of work on the part of the would-be candidates and the members of the Academy who -do the electing. From now until election day the hopeful candidates will spend many an afternoon visiting academicians trying to convince them they are worthy of "immortality." ' . Each candidate who really wants to be elected must go through the social duty of calling at least once on each of the most influential members of the Acad emy. They also must invite mem bers to lavish luncheons and dinners. The List The 28 candidates, whose ranks probably will be increased in coming weeks, are: For the seat of the late Paul Claudel: Robert Kemp, Vladimir d'Ormesso, Jacques Madaule, Paul Fort and Jean Fortuny. To replace the late Andre Chaumeix: Gustave Choen, Ed mond See, Marcel Achard, Jer ome Carcopino, Pierre Missoffe, and Emile Moussate. . . For the seat of the late Baron Seilleres: Henri Massis, Andre Chamsoc, Gaetan Bernoville, Ren Gillouin, Joseph Peyre, Gen eral Chambre, Vicomte de VeneL Jean Savant, Albert Mousset, and Francois Grech. For the seat of the late Ad miral Lacaze: Paul Vialar, Mario Meunier, Prof. Leon Binet, Jean Lavarande, Jacques Chastenet, Roger Vercel and Rene Renai-tour.
