Religious Leaders Appeal to Benson To Release hnV A Washington U.P' U.S. religious leaders ha- appealed personally to Secrary of Agri culture Ezra T. Benson to re lease more of ,rie government'3 horde of surpus foods for relief snipment3 yto Hungry families overseas. ' Benson promised church spokesmen at an unpublicized meeting here earlies this month that he would take a "good, hard look" at their request. An Agri culture Department spokesman said today it is "still under study." He said it may be neces sary to ask Congress for special legislation. Congress authorized Benson last year to give away some sur plus farm commodities for dis tribution abroad by private re lief agencies. But Agriculture Department attorneys have in terpreted this law to mean that free allocations can be made only when products are in dan ger of spoiling in storage. Under this Interpretation, the only types of food released so far have been dairy products dried milk, butter, and "cheese, and cottonseed oil. About S50,000,000 worth of these foods have been distribut ed to the needy in 20 countries this year by Such organizations as Church World Service, Catho lic War Relief services, the American Friends Service Com mittee, the American-Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, and CARE. Harriman Gets Political Sacking Of Immigration Act Co-Sponsor Friday, November 25, 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Washington U.R) New York Gov. Averell Harriman today gained a congressional supporter in his expected bid for the Democratic presidential nomination. Rep. Francis E. Walter (D- Pa.), who broke with Adlai E. Stevenson in the 1952 campaign over the McCarran-Walter Im migration Act, announced his suDDort for Harriman. Walter said he expects to go to the Democratic national convention next August as a "Harriman delegate." Walter, chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee, said Harriman "is the only candidate" for the Democratic nomination who "has true appreciation of the No. 1 problem confronting the nation today the threat to our security posed by the Rus sians who are intent on world domination." Walter broke with Stevenson in 1952 when the former Illinois governor criticized and called for liberalizing the immigration act which Walter sponsored with the late Sen. Pat McCarran (D Nev.). When Stevenson announced his candidacy for the Demo cratic nomination again next year, Walter denounced him as "the laughing boy of American politics." He said it was "inconceiv able" the Democrats would choose Stevenson, considering the number of "outstanding Americans" available. In other political develop ments Democrats continued their sharp blasts at the admini stration's farm program and the defunct Dixon-Yates power con tract. Farm advisers to the ' Demo cratic National Committee came out for farm price supports at Murder Rules Out In Death of Three Powell River, B. C. (U.R) An autopsy has ruled out the possibility of murder in the deaths of a Portland logger and two other lumber workers 30 miles north of here last Thurs day. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Charles Haines, 34, Portland; Fred Jennings, 40, Vancouver, B. C, and Uno Ny lund, 55, Courtenay, B. C, died of drowning during a raging storm. . The loggers drowned in Gal ley Bay, 30 miles north of Powell River, while rowing their boat across a 40-yard stretch of wa ter. They were employees of the Glen Levitt Logging Co. and were rowing their boat from a logging company dininghouse on a float in the bay to. their bunkhouse on another float. The bodies of Haines and Jen nings were recovered and an au topsy ordered after an unidenti fied ,man told mounted police that he thought he "might have" murdered the trio. not less than 90 per cent of parity. They accused the admini stration's flexible farm support policy of bringing farmers to the, "verge of bankruptcy." Chairman Paul Butler of the Democratic National Commit- j tee called on the administration to pro'secute any officials re sponsible for possible law viola tions in the Dixon-Yates con tract. Butler said in a statement that action to prosecute 'now admitted wrongdoing" in the Dixon-Yates contract will be the "real test" of GOP promises to deal vigorously with any mis conduct in government. Walla Walla Prison Escapee Captured Portland (U.R) William Paul Lee, about 43, one of 10 prison ers who escaped from the Wash ington state penitentiary Nov. 3, was in custody here today. Lee is the last of the escapees to be picked up. He was arrested by FBI agents in northwest Port land last night, according to Joseph A. Santoiana Jr., special agent in charge of the Portland office. . Santoiana said Lee was being held on a warrant charging un lawful flight to avoid prosecu tion and would be turned over to Washington authorities. Lee was picked up in a room ing house where he was staying while hunting a job. He offered no resistance. re You A Slave To Weather?
