April 5, 193B ii ARGENTINES BATTLE EPIDEMIC Residents in Buenos Aires, Argentina's capital, use fire hose to flush down street in highly infected area of their city, now undergoing one of its worst polio epidemics in history. The people are banding together in all out effort to keep their city clean. The U. S. has snipped iron lungs to help in the fight Ike's Attitude Seen Changed on Farm Bill Now Before Congress LJTZJ By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Correspondent Washinizton (U.R) In the span of a fortnight President Eisenhower has considerably changed his mind about the farm sub sidy bill now Dendine in Congress. The bill doesn't look quite so bad now. He still does not like it- Lyle C Wilson UI II lOOKS a lot better to than it did at his news conference of March 21. It is reasonable to believe that Mr. Eisenhower is now looking at a the farm bill in the bright light . of the Minnesota and Wisconsin presidential primaries. Mr. Eisenhower's comment of March 21 on the farm bill may be summed up like this: He de nounced the bill, which just had been passed by the Senate, as unworkable a measure which would do farmers more harm than good. The President's next news conference was Wednesday. Rinrp he last miblicly discussed the farm bill, conferees repre senting the House and Senate had agreed to junk a good deal of the administration program. The conferees approved high, rigid crop supports, for example, in defiance of the President's in sistence on lower, flexible sub sidies. Soil Bank Accepted They are extending the rigid support principel to feed grains. They did accept the administra tion's soil bank plan. It would put up Sl,200,000,000 to pay farmers for taking acres out of production. The crop planting now is so far advanced, how ever, that the soil bfehk system cannot jingle many dollars into the pockets of farm voters be fore election day this year. Moreover, with all of that running against him, Mr. Eisen hower is aware that the House Senate conference group is load ed against him by a ratio of about 8-to-2. Even so, the bill looked a little belter to him Wednesday than a fortnight ago. Wednesday the President said: "There have been so many amendments, some of them clumsy, others even worse, at tached to them, that whether or not it (the farm bill) would help the farmers would be proble matical." Advised To Sign Bill That is a long way from his earlier criticism that the Bill was unworkable and wjould do farmers more harm than good. The practical politicians are ad vising Mr. Eisenhower to sign the farm bill,, high, rigid sup ports and all. They argue that something must be done for the farmers before Ihis year's elec tion something to make them feel more kindly toward the ad ministration. He could try to amend the program next year. This advice is weighted now with the meaning of the Wiscon sin and Minnesota primaries where Sen. Estes Kefauver (D Tenn.) has been making political hay with a high rolling farm subsidy program. Kefauver swamped Adlai E. Stevenson and far out-polled Mr. Eisen hower in Minnesota on March 20. There was no direct contest in Wisconsin this week. But Kefau ver's unopposed campaign ob tained support of 42 per cent of Wisconsin voters who went to the polls. Mr. Eisenhower got more Republicans to the polls by a good margin. But Kefau ver's showing is accepted by Re publican political realists as foreshadowing trouble in the farm belt. Man Ends Own life With Nail in Heart Arlington, Va. U.P.) A maintenance worker committed suicide yesterday by driving a steel nail through his heart with a power hammer. Country police said Hubert Edgar Miller, 40, was found on his bed by his wife. Police said the two-inch nail passed through a piece of ply weed lying on Miller's chest, through his heart and through the mattress. The power hammer, used to drive steel nails in concrete or metal, is powered by a 22 caliber blank cartridge. The tool was found near Miller's body.

Kefauver flew here from Flor ida today for a one-day campaign visit in Nebraska's May 15 Dem ocratic presidential primary.

'Greatest Show' Opens Despite Labor Trouble New York (U.R) The "great est show on earth" opened its 1956 season at Madison Square Garden last night with sophisti cated theater music and an array of labor trouble. But John Ringling North's circus retained most of the flavor that has made it a favorite spec tacle for adults and children for 86 years. The theater music was intro duced by Frank Loesser, the Broadway and Hollywood song writer, who was hired to com pose three new numbers for this year's circus. His songs were a distinct departure from the tra ditional oomp-pa-pa circus music of former years. The labor trouble developed from a dispute between the cir cus owners and the American Guild of Variety Artists. Anoth er labor dispute involved the International Brotherhood of Teamsters which is attempting to organize truck . drivers and roustabouts.
