CENTER OF ATTENTION Gypsie, 8-month-old
elephant raised on Albers Calf Manna and
Suckle, drew a crowd of fans of all ages
Tuesday afternoon when she visited the Med
ford Feed and Seed company. The 404-pound
pachyderm stands nearly 40 inches high and
is a native of Bangkok. At the age of two
months Gypsie was purchased by Tony
Gentry's Animal Training company, Thousand
Oaks, Calif., for show purposes. When she
arrived she was unable to eat solids and the
veterinarian said she was going to die. Her
owners then began feeding her the Albers
products. Gypsie is currently on a six-week
tour on the Pacific coast. ' She gets four
gallons of food a day in four feedings. Shown
assisting Gypsie with her meal is George Barr
of the Medford Feed and Seed company.

Benson Criticizes
Rigid Supports
Tucson, Ariz. (U.R) Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson
says Congress had not produced
"a sound and constructive bill
that can relieve the distressed
farm situation this year."
Benson criticized rigid high
price supports last night before
1000 delegates to the National
Hereford Congress at the Uni
versity of Arizona.
"It was under high rigid
price .supports that our present
farm problem developed," Ben
son said. "In every year but one
since 1947, farm income has de
clined." He declared that in all these
years of the farm income loss
until mid-1955, high rigid price
supports were in effect. "If high
rigid price supports were the an
swer to our problem, we would
have no problem," he said.
Benson saic the Senate's farm
bill "bears little resemblance to
President Eisenhower's con
structive, forward-looking work
able program." He said retention
of the President's soil bank pro
vision was good but the Senate's
freezing of price supports for
cotton and grains and other fea
tures of the bill were not satisfactory.
Three Sue Man They Called Father

her two brothers took the stand

The TOree testified yesterday that

mother's death and their subse
quent signing of waivers request
ed by Phillips that they found
out he was not their real father.
The three, Thelma Gordon,
29; Gerald Nelson Phillips, and
Frederick F. Phillips, contend
that the man they had known as
their father, approached them
with a waiver to the estate
immediately following their
mother's death.
The three estimate the estate
value to be between $50,00IJ and
$100,000.
Carl Wilske, who the trio say
is their real father, was located
in Champaign, 111. He came to
Oregon last January for a re
union and yesterday took the
stand to testify that his wife and
three children had left him 27
years ago and that he had
thought them all to be dead until
recently.
The case is being heard with
out a jury in Circuit Court.
