Benson ac cused Democratic "presidential hopefuls" today of stirring up a "witch's brew" in an attempt to harvest votes from the farm problem.

In a breakfast meeting speech Wjllsa Walla Warden Suspends Four Guards Walla Walla (U.R) Lawrence Dgpore Jr., warden of the state penitentiary, last night suspend ed four guards on charges of ne glect f duty following the es cape of two Inmates early in the day. The four guards were on duty in (gpven wing Tuesday night where John Russell, 25, and Ed ward Lincoln Burkholder, 23, broke 5tit. Delmore said the guards had five days in which to answer the charge. before the Republican National committee, Benson charged that the Democrats are making Dem onstrably false statements" and offering "quack remedies and discarded nostrums" in a cam paign to make political capital out of falling farm prices.

"When Adlai Stevenson re cently flip-flopped back to rigid, 90 per cent price supports and then threw in his version of the Brannan plan for good measure, I watched with some interest to see if Averell Harriman could top that," Benson told the Re publicans. ' "He did. He even chided Adlai for being too 'moderate'."' Benson's counter-attack on the Democrats was the most fight ing speech so far at the two-day GOP pow pow here. However, Commerce Secre tary Sinclair Weeks and Labor Secretary James Mitchell were still to deliver their defenses of Eisenhower administration pol icies. And GOP National Chair man Leonard W. Hall was sched uled to relay a personal mes sage from the President.

Hopes that President Eisen hower will run for the presi dency again dominated the meet ing and were boosted late yes terday by statements from Hall and Vice-President Richard M. Nixon. Hall said it wouldn't matter if Mr. Eisenhower delays an an nouncement of his political plans until next March, the latest daft yet mentioned for such an an nouncement. Nixon, meanwhile, started the GOP. leaders buzzing with a mes sage that the people in 1956 will choose the same "leadership" that has been provided by Presi dent Eisenhower. Republicans attached significance to the fact that Nixon used the word "lead ership" instead of "policies." Further Praise Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. am bassador to the United Nations, continued the praise of the Ei senhower administration in a speech last night. Lodge said Eisenhower pol icies have raised America's standing in the world to its Farm Bureau Favors Land Ownership For School Bond Voting A study to determine' if the present method of voting school bonds can be declared unconsti tutional is under consideration by Farm Bureaus of Jackson, Josephine, Douglas and Coos counties, according to Dave Blair, Rogue River, president of the Jackson County Farm bur eau. If the proposed study is fav orable to members of the four counties, funds will be solicited and a Portland law firm retain ed to do research, Blair told th county Farm Bureau board of directors recently. Blair said the bureau should know whether or not the study would be conducted after the next meetings of county burH eaus. May Test the Law If legal research indicates there can be a reversal of the present law, the Oregon Farm Bureau will be asked by the county bureaus to test the con stitutionality of the law. The law allows any registered voter to cast a ballot in bond issues. Blair pointed out that the Ore gon Farm Bureau federation's policy is that "property owner ship should be one-of the qual ifications for persons voting on bond issues." . During the"1955 Oregon legis lature, the Farm Bureau urged passage of a bill which provided for a constitutional amendment to prohibit non-property owners from voting on school bonds, Blair said. The bill was defeated in committee, but another bill which would require 15 per cent of the registered voters to cast a ballot in school bond elections before the issue became effective was defeated in the senate, Blair pointed out. Favors Sales Tax The OFBF, Blair said, still favors a retail sales tax. The position, heQsaid, was reaffirmed at the recent convention in Sa lem. A resolution there favored a sales tax with revenue "ear marked for educational purposes and property tax off -set." The bureau also resolved that if such a tax were enacted "that agri culture be defined 0in the sta tutes as manufacturer and or producer, in order to eliminate duplicate or pyramiding taxa tion." The orginial recommendation for the sales tax policy origin ated in Jackson county, Blair said. The federal plan initiative to amend the state constitution to give each county in Oregon a seat in the state senate also is favored y the bureau, Blair said. Blair noted that "under the present population plan of apr portionment, rural Oregon is losing out to the metropolitan areas. We feel that area re sources and wealth as well as population should be considered in the apportionment of legis lative representation." highest point In history. He urged Republicans to keep for eign policy bi-partisan, to take "honest pride" in it, and not to let it become a political issue.
