Joe Foss has demanded full prosecution of a band of em bittered farmers who pelted Ag riculture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son with eggs. Benson barely escaped being hit by a half-dozen eggs which showered on the platfrom Thurs day as he made a speech de manding repeal of federal price support floors on corn and oth er major crops. One splattered over his hat and another smeared Foss' suit. Benson was addressing about 7,500 farmers who had gathered for the National Mechanical Corn Picking Contest which be gins today.

Despite the shelling from the group, Benson went on to finish his speech while state troopers picked their way through the crowd and nabbed five men who admitted throwing the eggs.

"The next time they might throw bricks," he said. BAD FIRE YEAR Augusta, Me.
