Iowa U.Ri Agncul-iand ture Secretary, Ezra T. Benson and Sen. Sstes Kefauver ex changed oratorial salvoes on the tame platform today. Each said his party was best for the farm ers. Benson criticized "gloomy" agricultural predictions of the Democrats and warned against sacrificing the farmer "on the political auction block." Promisee Said Broken Kefauver, seeking the Demo cratic presidential nomination, charged that President Eisen hower has broken his 1952 cam paign promises. He said the President indicates .he has no intention of carrying out a new farm policy. They spoke at the Corn Belt Tarm Family Fields Day Ex position. Kefauver blasted Benson and "his associates in the Eisenhower Cabinet" for "the reluctant man ner in which the new 1956 farm act is being administered." The Eisenhower administra tion plans to provide less than half of the aid to farmers that was intended by Congress, Ke fauver said. Calls For Crash Program He said "farmers will, not get this aid if the delaying, bung ling policies of the administra tion continue."

Benson said farm prices have increased about 9 per cent in 1956 despite the "gloomy fore casts" of a collapse.

Walker, assistant state forester, said these men and more than 50,000 loggers can be called upon in case fire breaks out anywhere in the 13, 000,000 acres under state pro tection. Five special cadres have been organized this year to take over supervision of fire lines when a major blaze breaks out. For the past three years, Ore gon state units have averaged only 10.000 acres burned annual ly. Walker said it is the first time in state forestry history that three successive favorable years have been recorded.

MDF0RIVrTRIBUrfS SIP(IDMTr Yakima Keeps! Lead; Eugene Keeps Second By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer The Yakima Bears have dis covered that one way to stay ahead in the Northwest League baseball race is just to keep on winning. Accordingly, the Bears turned in 2-1 and 5-4 victories over Tri City last night while their near est challengers, the Eugene Emeralds, were winning over Wenatchee 2-0 and 7-5. Salem topped Spokane 4-1 in the other game. Bob Wilson hit a solo homer and Herm Lewis scored from third when an attempted kickoff went wild in the first inning of the Yakima-Tri-City opener. It was all Yakima needed. In the nightcap, the Bears got their winning run in the seventh when Pete Mikacich singled, moved up on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Eny Wil cox. Eugene did stay VA games behind with its two victories over Wenatchee. Gene Rosen hurled two-hit ball in the opener and was never in trouble. The Emeralds got two runs in the eighth inning of the night cap on Carl Hutzler s single, a double by Jay Dean and another single to take that one. Salem got three runs in the second on singles by Frank Sze- kula, Ray Webster, Harvey Koepf and Ron King plus a throwing error to salt away their game with Spokane. King was in plenty of trouble but managed to space eight Spo kane hits for the decision. Jada Believed Front Yacht Los Angeles (U.R) Bill Sturgis' 56-foot yawl, Jada, has recaptured the lead and was pulling away ahead today in the world's longest yacht race from Los Angeles harbor to Tahiti. Radio reports Thursday night placed the San Marino. Calif., boat 20 miles ahead of its near est rival, the Quest out of New port Beach, Calif. It had been reported earlier that the Quest had pulled even with the Jada in a challenge for the lead in the 3571-mile race. The Quest, only craft in the five-boat fleet plotting positions in the race, sent the report that the Jada held a comfortable lead and was sailing under - good weather conditions about 720 miles out of Los Angeles har bor. The Jada has held the lead since the race got under way last Saturday. John P. Scripps scratch boat, the Nova del Mar, was reported 40 miles behind the leader and the Celebes, from San Fran cisco, was progressing about 80 miles astern of the Jada. The Viveka continued to trail the fleet about 150 miles in back of the Jada. Subscribers To report improper or non-deliv-17 of tha Mail Tribune phone 2-6141 before :4S pjn. daily and 1030 a-m.

Chu, Manager All Time Tennis Men Selected The selection for the first time of an all-time first ten U.S. tennis players by the USLTA Executive Committee has been announced in the official USLTA Diamond Jubilee Cham pionships Program for 1956. William T. Tilden II. 7 times U.S. champion heads the list of all-time U.S. tennis greats. The vote of 35 USLTA officials gave Tilden 324 out of a possible 350 points based on 10 points for the first place vote. 9 points for sec ond place, 8 points for third, etc. J. Donald Budge won the num ber two spot with a score of 283 and John A. Krar.ier is third with 264 points. The other rankings are: Fourth, William "Little Bill" M. Johnston; fifth, H. Ellsworth Vines Jr.; sixth. Richard A. "Pancho" Gonzales; seventh, Maurice E. McLouglv lin; eighth, William A. Lamed; ninth, R. N. Williams II, and tenth, Robert L. Riggs. Lamed and Tilden were seven-tyne winners of the U.S. Singles Championship although neither Tilden nor Lamed was able to equal the record of the first U.S. champion, Richard D. Sears, who won the title seven times in succession beginning with the first championship in 1881. Tilden won the champion ship six successive years, 1920 to 1925 inclusive and again in 1929. Lamed won five times in a row, from 1907 to 1911 in clusive, having won his first title in 1901 which he defended successfully in 1902.

Calhoun on TV Tonight New York (U.R) Unbeaten Rory Calhoun, the world's "hot test" . young .middleweight, risks his 21 straight victories tonight in his first Madison Square Gar den main event against a more skilled ancfj, experienced oppon ent, Willie Vaughn, the Cali fornia stat echampion. Slugger Calhoun of White Plains, N. Y., is favored at 13-5 to beat boxer Vaughn of Los Angeles in the TV-radio . NBC 10-rounder because of his punch and because of the supposition that lanky Vaughn will be off form due to idleness. California Willie, 23, hasn't had a fight in nearly 11 months because of managerial difficul ties. But now he has a new and wealthy pilot, and he has train ed vigorously for this match, which he hopes will start him moving toward a title shot. Meanwhile, 21-year-old Cal houn has been busy. He regis tered five straight victories this year. They included three knock outs, which brought his kayo total to 11 for his 21 fight. His best win were a decision over Jackie Labua and a first-round knockout over Randy Sandy in his last bout on May 14. He is an aggressive, slam-bank hook er who tries to mow his oppon ents down.
