Benson has been asked by a livestock industry spokesman to institute a bonus plan for emergency siaucbter of range cows for drought stricken areas. Nelson K. Crow', prominent industry spokesman and publish er of the Western Livestock Journal, called for such action Wednesday in telegrams tn Ben son and other governmental agencies. Crow- urged the Agriculture Department to dip into its S 1 1 0 . -nOO.000 fund for market support to relieve conditions in drought disaster areas. He said the gov ernment should pay a S20 per head bonus on all range cows slaughtered. The Agriculture Department has designated 145 counties in Arizona. Colorado. Kansas. New Mexico. Nevada. Oklahoma. Tex as, Washington and Utah as dis aster areas. supporter, was much embar rassed by Stassen's proposal. Stassen quoted Herter as say ing that he "'would do wha' the republican Convention and the President wanted him to do." Supporters Not Identified He aisn said that private polls, to which he previously had referred, had tested the relative strength of eight pos sible vice presidential candi dates and that they showed Nix on giving the least strength to the ticket. The eight included N'ixon, Herter and himself. Stas sen said, but he declined to identify the other five. Stassen also tefuscd to iden tify other Republicans who. he has said, are supporting his pro posal. But he did say that he expects them to identify them selves before the GOP 'conven tion opens Aug. 20. While there may bo a number of Republicans who would like to dump the controversial vice president, few can be expected to declare themselves publicly unless they are convinced thai Mr. Eisenhower does not want Nixon renominated. The President may speak out himself next week. It was an nounced that he probably will hold a news conference, his first since his intestinal operation last month, next Wednesdaw Subic Naval Base. Trie Phil ippines UP' Soviet Russia has concentrated the bulk of its submarine fleet in the Pacific ocean, probably including a i number carrying guided mis- j siles. reliable sources said today. Qualified U. S. naval sources said Russia has "probably two- : thirds" of her steadily-expanding underwater fleet in Pacific ; waters. The Russian submarines are based in Soviet ports on the 5F Embalmers Vote On Proposed Contract San Francisco (L'.Ri Em ; balmers and morticians voted today on a proposed agreement that is expected to end their fi4-day strike-lockout and per I nut burial and cremation of some Rat) bodies. Negotiators for the Profe.s ' sional Embalmers" Union and ! the San Francisco Funeral Di j rectors' Association reached agreement at a secret meet ins Wednesday. They reported "favorably" on the settlement to their memberships. The two-year agreement was not made public. However, it was reported to provide for a j S2. monthly pay raise for tiie , embalmers. who now get S435 a month: and SIR monthly hike next year: a S10 monthly cm- ! plover contribution to a pension plan, and a SO monthly employ - er contribution for health and ! welfare. Agreement also was reached on such major issues as the embalmers' scope of work and pay for embalmers not regu larly employed by morticians. Asian mainland and at bases in Communist China. : No Estimate of Size ; The sources made no estimate of the size of the Soviet sud marine force. However, the 1936- I 1955 edition of the authoritative Janes' Fighting Ships estimated Russia's underwater fleet at i "not less than 400" with at least ; 100 more under construction. i The sources said the Soviet submarines in the Pacific waters are not all big long range un derwater craft. They said the force includes smaller sub- i ! marines apparerftly designed to harass American surface vessels j that might be operating near the j Asian coast in the event of war. U. S. naval quarters believe ! the Russians have submarines equippeo to carry and launch j guided missiles. They assume ' that a number of these would ; 1 be in the Pacific since the, bulk j of the Russian submarine fleet is stationed in these waters. I Building Powerful Subs j The U. S. Navy, according to ; i qualified naval sources, is build- ; ing powerful '"killer subs" which could not only attack surface ; craft but also track down enemy ' submarines and destroy them in underwater battle. The sources said that the U. S. : Navy's new nuclear-powered submarines could be assigned to such tasks. The Navy already lias one nuclear-powered sub marine in operation, the Nau tilus. The sources said that all ; new American submarines will be nuclear-powered. Portland (U.Ri Four dyna mite blasts shook a rifle range in Clackamas county early today.

The court ruled that it was a nuisance, but Rosenau said he appealed and early this vear won his case. Man's Car Stolen But It Turns Out Well Flint, Mich. (U.P M. O.
