adinst a $6,500 a year U.S
Sttl Corp. millworker who
jumped into the national spot-
light last fall to protest an in-
ease in union dues from $3 to
Sj a month.
(Rarick, who has spent 19 of
his 37 i ears inthe union, re-
Osards McDonald's handling of
the USW as "autocratic." He
charged the union president
"railroaded" the dues increase
through an international conven
tion in Los Angeles last Sep
tember. McDonald became secretary
to Murray in 1953 before the
USW's founding. He has ac
cused Rarick of attempting to
organize a rump faction within
the unioft and formenting "dual
unionism," the cardinal sin of
the labor movement.

has hiked the basic hourly pay

Bens Jewish Soldiers
Washington (U.R) The Eisen

to get Saudi Arabia to relax its
ban against the stationing of
American Jewish servicemen at
the U.S.-leased Dhahran Air

President Eisenhower, Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles
and other American officials

agreement reached last week
while King Saud was in Wash

Administration's
Price Support
Cutback Attacked
Benson Accused of
Giving Anesthetic
Washington (U.R) Repub
licans and Democrats alike at
tacked the administration today
for cutting farm price supports.
Sen. Francis Case (S-S.D.)
told the Senate that the cuts,
announced Saturday, "will bring
the country into a depression
that will not only 'curl your
hair' but singe every segment
of our national anatomy."
He accused Secretary of Agri
culture Ezra T. Benson of hav
ing "a so-called farm program
which becomes only an anesthe
tic to lessen the pain of going
broke."
Democratic Drive Spurred
Benson's reduction also spur
red a Democratic drive in Con
gress to provide more farmers
with . subsidies for taking acres
out of production.
Democrats also stepped up
their continuing attacks on Ben
son in light of his latest action.
Rep. George S. McGovern (D
S.D.) told the House that the ad
ministrationapparently has de
cided that the farmer should
be cut to provide funds to pay
for President Eisenhower's new
Middle East program.
"This is one more indication
the administration is not inter
ested in the farmer except dur
ing election year," he said.
Rep. Ed Edmondson (D-Okla.)
said the farmer already is caught
in "a general depression" and
is "struck a body blow" by Ben
son's action.
No Intervention Seen
Several Democratic farm lead
ers said they believe there is no
chance Congress will intervene
and jack 1957 support prices up
again. But they hope to persuade
Congress to send the White
House a farm bill that conceiv
ably could increase by as much
as $500 million the subsidy pay
ments to farmers under the soil
bank program.

Nasser Pledge May
Be Among Demands
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)

today to be drafting a stern
warning to Israel against the
consequences of its refusal to
quit the Gaza and Aqaba strips.

administration officials felt that
failure of the Israelis to with
draw from the former Egyptian-
held areas soon would increase)
dangerously the risk of a near
Middle East war.
