FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, April It. 1956 Democratic Leaders Press New Plan for Farm Price Supports Washington (U.R; Demo cratic farm leaders pressed to day for a new price support plan that could give farmers an extra $500,000,000 this year. The direct subsidies would go to producers of five basic crops. They would make up the difference between support prices fixed by the administra tion and the 90 per cent of parity supports which it opposes. The catch-all farm bill already vetoed by President Eisenhower would have raised basic crop supports to the 90 per cent level this year. Ik Opposition Expected The President is almost cer tain to oppose the new plan of direct subsidies. Also there is ' no assurance such a plan can win congressional approval. But Chairman Harold D. Cooley (D-N.C.) said he will ask the House Agriculture Commit tee next week to approve the plan as part of a new catch-all farm bill. He said the bill would include all features of the administra tion's $1,200,000,000 soil bank proposal except for a new pro vision calling for advance pay ments. Will Tost GOP Sincerity Cooley disclosed the new Dem ocratic strategy after a confer ence Wednesday with Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.). Rep. W. R. Poage (D-Tex.), second-ranking Democrat on the agriculture committee, began pushing for the direct subsidy plan imme diately after the farm bill veto message reached Congress. Cooley told newsmen the stand taken by Republicans on the plan will demonstrate "whether they are sincere when they say they want to put money in farmers hands this year." Gloria Swan son's Gambling Discussion Taken Up By Players at Monte Carlo By GLORIA SWANSON Written for United Press Monte Carlo (U.R) Across from the Monte Carlo casino while lunching in the famous Hotel de Paris, I innocently started a discussion on the vir tues and sins of gambling. To make conversation, I mentioned Mrs. Earle. the sweet little Eng lishwoman who boasts of her 82 years, gambling daily with a system her late husband lent her. Graham's Confession Slated as Evidence In Plane Bomb Trial Columbia River Continues Rising At Slower Pace Portland U.R) The Colum bia river continued to rise today but at a slower pace and the weather bureau predicted it would start dropping slightly this weekend. The Columbia was nearly five feet over flood stage at Van couver, Wash., and the Willam ette at Portland was about two feet over the flood mark. Low- lands and dock areas in some lo cations were flooded but the situation was not called serious. The Columbia at Vancouver is expected to crest at 20.3 feet to morrow, 5.3 feet over the flood mark. : Snow Mell Slowed Cooler weather slowed the snow melt in upper river areas, but flood troubles still were re ported in Idaho. Army engineers yesterday sent another 50,000 sandbags to bolster dikes which protect farmlands around St. Maries. Some 700 acres of farm land was flooded in the area Monday and since then about 100 workers have kept a vigil on other dikes along the St. Joe river. At Idaho Falls, workers di verted much of Willow creek's flow into a canal and the flood which had poured through streets and basements of a resi dential area was receding. Rain Brings Relief To Midwest Region By UNITED PRESS Rains brought drought relief to wide Midwest areas and moved into the East today. They ushered in springlike temperatures which have been long overdue in much of the na t'on. Temperatures rose 23 de g -ees to 68 at Paducah, Ky., and If degrees to 45 at Pittsburgh, P-. Most Midwest rains did not get over the half-inch point, but they brought long-waited relief to dust-dry farmlands. In Metamora, 111., a church procession to pray for rain was called off because it was raining too hard. The dust caked onto utility pole insulators at Peoria, 111., caused short circuits when a soaking downpour came and knocked out power to about 50, 000 residents for several hours. GOP Victory Said 'Not in the Bag' Dover, Del. (U.R) The 1956 election is "not in the bag" for the Republican party, according to Sen. Barry Goldwater, (R Ariz.). Goldwater , told the Republi can state convention here yes terday that the GOP was 11,000, 000 votes short of being the ma jority party. '"We cannot afford to let petty differences destroy our efforts in 1954." ne added. "I have found a disturbing feeling of apathy in a tour of 39 states, but if we work hard, we have a 50-50 chance of regaining control of the Senate and a ma jority of the House," he said. Denver U.R) The prose cution mav reach the climax to day of its effort to send John Gilbert Graham to the gas cham ber for allegedly committing history's biggest aerial mass murder. Graham's confession made to FBI agents admitting he con cocted a dynamite bomb plot that caused the airliner to crash, killing 44 persons, is scheduled to be offered for evidence at the 24-year-old defendant's murder trial sometime late today. Big Legal Bat'.le Introduction of the written, signed confession should touch off the biggest legal battle thus far in the 10-day-old trial. District Attorney Bert Keat ing, directing the prosecution, predicted it would cause a "trial within a trial" in which the de fense would challenge the ad missibility of the confession and the iurv hearing the murder trial would be excused until the court could determine that legal question. During that hearing, if it should occur, Graham conceiv ably could testify in his own be half concerning the voluntary nature of the confession. Key Test of Case The admission of the confes sion posed the key test of the prosecution's case. Without it, Keating said, "We don't have enough left to keep us in court." While Graham logically may appear as a witness in any hear ing before the court on the ad missibility of the confession, it does not mean that he need be called to testify in his defense before the jury. Tied in with state attempts to have the confession admitted as direct evidence will be what Keating termed "The criminal agency which caused the death of Mrs. Daisie King." Mrs. King was Graham's moth er, for whose murder he is spe cifically on trial. Mrs. King was among the 44 who died when a United Air Lines DC6B airliner exploded and crashed near Long mont, Colo., the night of last Nov. 1. 'Weather Control' Progress Outlined Washington iV.? It just may be possible, as everybody always is hoping, to do some thing about the weather. But the problems are many and the results, warn government ex perts, could be "catastrophic." So far rain-making has been the big thing, and this has been fairly successful. Now the Weather Bureau is fooling around with hurricanes, hoping to find ways of -getting them stopped before they start. Once they get going, the Weather Bureau has advised Congress, they turn loose the power of 10,000,000 atom bombs, and puny man can't lay a hand on them. Progress in what they call "weather control" was outlined to a House appropriations sub committee, in testimony made public today, by F. W. Reich elderfer. Weather Bureau chief, and other top authorities. Reichelderfer cautioned against "loose talk" about con trolling the weather, although he said research in this field is underway. "There are some possibilities, he said, "btu how great is im possible to say at present." Princeton Students To Hear Alger Hiss Princeton, N.J. (U.R) Con victed perjurer Alger Hiss speaks to a Princeton University campus debating society tonight on "the Meaning of Geneva." Hiss' address to the American Whig-Cliosophic Society marks his first public appearance since he was released from Lewis burg, Pa., federal penitentiary in November, 1954, after serv ing three years and eight months of a five-year sentence. The scheduled speech has been opposed by New Jersey Con gressmen; Princeton alumni and religious leaders. A poll con ducted among the student body and Princeton student body and Princeton residents showed the majority favored the speech by a iop-siaea margin. SIX SOLDIERS KILLED Stuttgart, Germany (U.R) Six American soldiers were kill ed and eight others seriously injured today when their heavy Army truck' left the road and plunged down a 90-foot embank ment near Stuttgart.

GRAPE PH. 3-1971 Fast Time Slated To Start Sunday; Confusion Waited New York 4U.R) Almost half the American people will turn their clocks ahead one hour on Sunday morning. This lengthens the days of summer, confounds some cows and troubles travel ers. It's known as daylight sav ing time. The clocks in the less thickly settled 5-6th of the nation will go right on ticking on the- time to which their cows have become accustomed. Few Complications From Main to Washington, D.C., and as far west as the western edge of Pennsylvania, everybody changes his clock. It causes few complications. In California and Nevada, same thing. In the rest of the country it becomes more complicated. Like heady wine, it's a local option matter in many states. There are islands. Atomic energy men in Richland, Wash., and Los Alamos, N. M., move the clock hands to keep within daytime talking distance of Washington. Nobody else does for miles around. In similar iso lation are the residents of Man dan, N. D., and Dickinson county on Michigan's upper peninsula. Rising Time Nearer Same In effect, farmers in Ohio and city folk in New York will get up at more nearly the same hour than they do in winter. When the city alarm clock rings at 7 p.m. it's really 6 a.m. on the non-daylight saving farm, and the farmer has been up for only one hour, perhaps, instead of two. This does not apply, of course, in areas where farmers and city folk keep time together by state law. And the exceptions caused by cows with regular habits in all areas are too numerous to mention. Many casinos throughout Eu rope know her, but few know she is a sort of modern Robin Hood. She doesn't steal but gam bles instead for the fun of it. Her winnings she happily distri butes to the needy. "Does this make gambling a virtue?" asked the American gentleman on my left. Before I could open my mouth, an Englishman on . my right answered. "Giving money, not lending it, is always a vir tue no matter how one gets it," he said. "You bountiful Ameri cans should know that." I asked an old Hollywood friend, Harry d'Abbadaie d'Ar rast who had directed "Topaz" with Jack Barrymore and many other famous movies, if he thought Mrs. Earle's husband's system was infallible. "Of course not," he replied. Church Officials Visit in Medford Visiting in Medford today are Dr. and Ira D. Black of the board of home missions of the Congregational and Chris tian churches, and Dr. Paul A. Davies, superintendent of the Congregational conferences of Oregon. Dr. Black is chairman of the department of the board of home missions, which has to do with the establishment of new churches and has come to the state to consider with local lead ers possible sites for new churches, and to visit new churches that are already estab lished. He and Dr. Davies will meet with the officers and leaders of the Medford Congregational church this evening and discuss with them its progress and plans for further growth. "Any fool can win. It takes a genius not to lose. But I saw Mrs. Robin Hood walk away from the chemin de fer table yesterday with a million francs ($2800)." Suddenly a faint American fe male voice spoke up from across the table. "I think the world -would be better off without gambling," she said. "All casinos, including our American ones such as Las Vegas, should be closed." "Excuse me madam," said an other gentleman. "You mention closing houses of gambling. Sure ly if you intend to be fair, you'll include the stock exchange." Everyone drew in their breath and turned to look at her un happy husband on my 'left,- all knowing except the poor, devil who made the remark that he was a stockbroker. : 1 To change the focal point, I asked if anyone had ever wit nessed a gambler breaking the bank. Plenty of Hats "Oh yes," said Madame San dra win redecorated part of Prince Rainiers' palace and who is known as well for buying a new hat every time she wins at gambling. (She now has 400). "Mr. X years ago just could n't lose. But now his only pos session is the phrase, 'There goes the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo'." "It must be thrilling to break it," I exclaimed. ,,'BTJOIO 'MOU2 J-9A9U TtlO,, she said, "for none of us has ever seen you play a chip." "That doesn't mean I'm not a heavy gambler," I retorted. "I have, like most businessmen and women, gambled at times, stak ing my whole career and money, too, on my judgment." And then I added, as we . all walked toward the casino, "What in life isn't a gamble?" OT E5 NT!
