TEN MEDFORD (ORE GO If) MAIL TRIBUNE Thuriday, April U, 1958 To Whom Will Farmers Owe Notes Of Thanks for Farm Subsidy Bill? By LYLE C. WILSON Unhed Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) What the farm subsidy , dispute has been all about is whether farm- mmmk ,shai1 r Z t j ' for some quick ; election year money to re publicans or to Democrats. If President E i s e n h o wer vetoes the farm bill now short- Lyle t mUsoo iy J go iu "c White House, the farmers prob ably won't be writing any thank you notes at all this year. The bill might not pass again. If he signs the bill, the farmers will owe a thank-you to a combina tion of congressional Democrats and Republicans. That is because the only quick money in the bill for 1956 got there against the will of Mr. Eisenhower and his cabinet associates. Up to now, the Democrats have gotten the best of the farm bill skirmishing for presidential election year votes. A great many Republicans in and out of Congress believe a veto would destroy any chance the party may have to regain control of the House this year. Veto May Hurt Ike . Some professional pulse feel ers will tell you that Mr. Eisen hower's own chances in the farm states would be damaged con siderably if that quick money fails to jingle in farm pockets mighty soon. Everybody loves the farmer,' especially in an election year. The Republican quick-money plan was a soil bank proposi tion. Farmers would be paid a profitable sum to take acres en tirely out of production. There would have been, in addition, a price support .system which could be adjusted to discourage over-production. By chance or, maybe, by de sign, the Democratic Congress was not able to enact farm sub sidy legislation until late in the planting season too late to permit much quick money dis tribution under the soil bank program. The Democrats, with some Republican help, jacked up the price support structure to high and rigid levels earnest ly condemned by Mr. Eisen hower and his agriculture sec retary, Ezra Taft Benson. Double-Barrelled Affair The bill is a double-barrelled affair. The soil bank is intended to reduce production of surplus crops. The high and rigid price supports likely will tend to en courage production. Benson says the bill is "unacceptable," which suggests he might resign rather than attempt to administer it. Mr. Eisenhower calls the bill unfair, not in the interest cf the farmers, not a good bill. But he hasn't said yet whether he will sign or veto. Whether the bill is good or bad is not the only question pending. There are other big ones which go like this: Would a veto give the Demo cratic Party a firmer control of Congress after the November election? Would acceptance of the bill give the Republicans a leg up toward regaining congressional control? Nat King Cole Plans To Resume Southern Tour Friday Night Chicago (U.R) Negro singer Nat King Cole said today he plans to resume his Southern singing tour tomorrow night despite an unprovoked attack on him by three white men in Bir mingham, Ala. Cole cancelled plans to fly to Los Angeles to visit his family on the advice of his physician. Cole flew to Chicago from Bir mingham late yesterday and Dr. James M. Scott treated him for back and arm injuries suffered in the melee. He advised him to stick close to his hotel room and take it easy before returning to the South tomorrow. Plotted Five Days Ago Meanwhile, there were these developments in the wake of the Tuesday night attack upon Cole: 1. Detectives in Birmingham said the assault on Cole Tuesday night was plotted five days ago and was to have been a mass at tack by 100 men. All but three of the plotters either backed out or missed their cue, however, and the three were "left holding the bag." Three others were charged with conspiracy. 2. Asa E. Carter, Birmingham White Citizens Council chief, said he understood one of the attackers, Kenneth Adams, was "enraged" because a Negro had knocked a camera out of his hand as he tried to photograph Cole. Carter also said the men might have been trying to make a "citizens arrest" of Cole for violating segregation ordinances. Action Rapped Editorially ' 3. The Anniston (Ala.) Star ed itorially denounced the five An niston men involved and said oth er Annistonians were "ashemed" of the incident. Although he received back and arm injuries in the assault, in Chicago Cole said he was "not mad at a soul" and was anxious to resume his Southern tour. He said "The people of Bir mingham were wonderful." They insisted "don't leave Birming ham off your agenda on your next trip." Cole said he didn't think the attack was directed against him personally but was the result of racial tensions in the South. He said, however, that he believes race relations have improved greatly in recent years. Portland Council Accepts City Transit Application Portland (U.R) The city council yesterday accepted an application of . the Rose City Transit company for a 30-day operating permit which runs to May 10. It replaces a 60-day per mit which expired Tuesday midnight. DOUBLE TROUBLE , Chicago (U.R) Troubles mounted fast for Joseph La Bar bera Wednesday. First he lost an Illinois primary race for a Dem ocratic . congressional nomina tion. Then Internal Revenue agents seized his home for fail ure to pay taxes. - Public Hearing Asked on Building At Medical School Eugene ' (U.R) Dr. John Richards, chancellor of the state system of higher education, to day called for the State Board of Health to hold a public hearing on the Oregon Medical School's application for federal funds for expansion and renovation of its out-patient clinic. Dr. Richards also invited Dr. Erickson, state health officer, to join him in requesting an at torney general's opinion to de termine if the state board must abide by recommendations for Hill-Burton funds made by the Oregon Medical Society. Dr. Richard's expressed hope, though, that the Oregon State Medical society's house of dele gates will disregard its councils' recommendation and will vote approval to the Medical school's application for federal funds for remodeling and expanding out patient facilities at the school." The Medical Society's council voted not to recommend ap proval of the school's request for $57,000 in federal Hill-Burton funds in action Saturday. Average milk contains about 87 per cent water.

U.R Three men left their Jeep and continued on snowshoes today in their climb to rescue Elijah, the problematical pack horse strand ed on a mountain ledge. The three, a sportsman, and two Denver television men, set off on snowshoes after driving part way up the North Cotton wood Trail in a Jeep. They hoped to reach Elijah this after noon and planned to remain on the lofty perch overnight if it ap peared they couldn't make it down the mountain before dark. Les Bertschy, 44, president of the Buena Vista Sportsmen's Club, and Tom Carlisle and Glen Nock, both 28-year-old staffers for KVTV at Denver, were driv en up the trail by Gilbert E. Gregg, 44. Gregg said the altimeter on his Jeep registered 9323 feet when he let the three men out to continue to the 12,000 to 14,-000-foot level on snowshoes. Stranded All Winter Elijah has been stranded, pos sibly all winter, on a snowbound pasture on the Continental Di vide between Mount Harvard and Mount Yale, a pair of 14,-000-foot peaks. But Gregg said he doesn't think the horse is as bad off as most people believe. "I think the horse has wised up to the fact that he has a good deal . . . with people dropping hay to him from airplanes and doesn't want to come down," Gregg said. Since mid-February, two pri vate pilots have been making risky flights two or three times a week to drop Elijah bales of hay. Mayor Ben Jorgenson of Gunnison at first paid for the deliveries, at $12 per bale, but money is pouring in now from all around the nation. The fesd fund is big enough to include oats the horse equivalent of Mobsters Questioned In 'One Way Ride' Los Angeles ttJ.R) Police questioned former racketeers and mobsters today about the brutal gangland "one way ride" slaying of a gambler and one time associate of now-dead underworld, figures Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel and Tony Stralla Cornero. The body of Elmer Perry, 60 was found Wednesday in the front seat of a parked car be- mind the plush Park La Brea apartments in the Wilshire dis trict. Three bullets had ripped through his neck. Authorities immediately began a roundup of all known under world figures in the area and issued a teletype "want" for the arrest of Ted Lewin, a nightclub owner who also was associated with Siegel and Cornero. Later police learned that Lewin, who also financed night clubs in Manila and Tokyo, had sent a telegram to a friend from New Zealand Wednesday. An unidentified woman had told police Lewin had a hand in the murder. Use Tribune Want Ads!

He killed one with a well-directed shotgun blast and the other took cover among the rocks. More Animals Seen Warren flew back Wednesday, and saw four animals resembling wolves. Dean Coleman, superin tendent of fur resources for the Colorado Game and Fish Depart ment! said they more likely were large coyotes or wild dogs, since there hasn't been a wolf re ported in Colorado for-15 years. There has been talk of the Army sending a detachment of ski troops to rescue Elijah. But at Fort Carson, Colo., a spokes man said - Wednesday that such an expedition was being studied "very cautiously." "There is no sense in throwing away the life of a man to save a horse," the Army spokesman said.' New Rules for Livestock Entering State Are Listed Salem The state depart ment of agriculture has announc ed regulations governing inspec tion of livestock brought into Oregon which became effective Tuesday, according to J. 'F. Short, director of agriculture, and M. E. Knickerbocker, ani mal division chief.

Negroes Urged To Pick Northern States Washington U.R) A Mis--sissippi congressman has sug gested that Southern Negroes migrate north "would do well to give preference to the states" of congressmen "who hold them selves out as civil rights lead ers." , Rep. Thomas G. Abernathy CD Miss.) said yesterday "In a news letter to constituents that "al most every day a New York sen ator or congressman utters a pro integration statement." He said the "same applies to certain senators and congress men from Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, California and Oregon." Oregon is "ideal" for Negroes wio prefer the West," he said. California has "strong congres sional support for Integration," he added.
