Definite Opposition To
Sliding Scale Supports
Voiced in South Dakota
Brookings, S.D. (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.
