Senator Challenges Benson's Figures Washington (W Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt.), admin istration farm leader in the Sen ate, has accused Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson of using "misleading figures," to justify cutting dairy support prices. Aiken, top Republican on the Senate Agriculture Committee, questioned Benson's estimate that the government lost 379 million dollars on the dairy sup port program in the year ended last June 30. Aiken said the loss was less than 200 million dol lars. ' Benson Wednesday ordered dairy supports cut to 75 per cent of parity beginning April 1. But terfat has been supported at 80 per cent of parity and milk at 83. "The reduction of supports for d'iry products at this time is a mistake," the Vermont senator said. Sen. William Proxmire (D- Wis.), termed Benson's order a terrible and outdated philoso phy" of depression days. Proxmire said he intended to sponsor legislation that would make sure Americans "can not be deprived of the food they need" by Benson's policies. Bloodhounds Hunt Nan Near Helvetia Hillsboro, Ore.

Europe Will Get Missiles in Time To Assure Defense Paris (IT) U.S. Air Force Genera Lauris Norstad said to day that NATO will get medium range ballistic missiles in ample time to assure continuous pro tection against a Soviet attack. Norstad, supreme Allied com mander in Europe, was asked at a news conference how soon Europe would get the IRBMs. The timing is "well within the safe period," he said. . Norstad did not elaborate nor did he offer any estimate on when Russia will have an opera tional intercontinental missile that could smash Chicago or Pittsburgh. The Allies have none of the 1,500-mile intermediate range missiles in Europe now and de pend on the U.S. strategic air force to act as a deterrent. Allied military planners say manned aircraft will have retal iatory capacities for years to come. Norstad was asked if he and his planning staff have made sufficient allowances for Soviet developments in rocketry. "We've made assumptions for our studies (SHAPE military needs for 1958-1963) on the in troduction of the entire family of missiles into the Soviet arse nal," Norstad said. "I am sure that if the Soviets could translate our assumptions into realities, they would settle for it and be happy." Failure Reported For Red Satellite Washington (IP) Erik Ber gaust, editor of Missiles and Rockets magazine, said Saturday that Russia tried and failed to launch its third space satellite during the NATO conference this week. Bergaust made the statement in an interview with the Nation al Broadcasting Co. He credited private "intelli gence sources" for the informa tion. Russia tried to put a satellite of just over 1,000 pounds about the size of dog-carrying Sputnik II into orbit early this week from its rocket launching center north of the Caspian Sea, he said. The rocket blew up just off the ground, much like the first U.S. attempt to launch a small satellite early this month, ac cording to the magazine editor. Moscow A 40-minute docu mentary on Russia's two Sput niks shown to foreign correspon dents did not show the actual launching of the artificial earth satellites on Oct. 4 and Nov. 3.

The best and the worst results came outside the groups which make up the averages. There were good gains in the aircrafts with the exception of Boeing. There were wide losses in some of the non-average issue oils. The special issues furnished a range from a 7 s, 4 point gain in Coca-Cola International to a loss of nearly three points in Lib-bey-Owens-Ford Glass. The rise in aircrafts stemmed from reports the government was stepping up its spending on aircraft and missiles. Boeing's fall reflected loss of a contract for a chemical bomber.

United Aircraft 52 UAL 22 U S Rubber 30 U S Steel 50 Youngstown S & T 67 Injury Suit Filed For Loss of Eye Dunmuir A 550,000 personal injury suit was filed against the school district here last week in superior court as a result of a classroom argument which re sulted in one youth losing the sight in one eye. Mrs. Winifred Sherman, guar dian of the injured student, Gary Todd of Dunsmuir, has charged the youth's eye was injured on Dec. 19, 1956, in a Dunsmuir elementary school classroom. She charges the youth was "con fined" in the room with another pupil without proper supervis ion and safeguards 'while re maining away for a considerable time. ; Mrs. Sherman alleges the youth's eye was injured while the teacher was out of the room after an argument arose between two boys. She also alleges school officials failed to seek medical aid for the injury and ordered the youth to return to his home with the advice medical atten tion should be secured. The youth's guardian main tains she did not find the extent of the injury until Feb. 6 when loss of vision in the eye was confirmed. In addition to the $50,000 asked for personal injuries, the suit also asks for $256.88 in spe cial damages. Morse in Manila For Brief Stopover Manila ttriXJ. S. Sen.

They said kiln-dried hemlock has gone up about SI in price but comparable rises have not appeared elsewhere. Prices on most other items remained about the same as last week, they said. Mostly because of the long holi day shutdowns mills have been more inclined to ask high prices but the volume of demand is not high. Expresg Hope Producers have expressed hope firmer prices will result after the first of the year be cause of the curtailed produc tion during the holidays. Many mills plan to return to operation after the first of the year but a substantial number had set no definite date. The length of closure for the plants will be de termined by market conditions, according to the reports. Mills shipping mixed cars of green and dry lumber reported a slight increase in sales with prices generally established on the basis of individual negotia tion. Pine producers are. also re fusing to go below certain prices and pillowed the lumber to stock pile in hopes of higher prices after the first of the year, it was reported. Plywood producers are pin ning hopes for better prices on impending cuts in production and are currently holding to present prices after a recent drop. One report said 27 per cent of fir production and 29 per cent of pine production will be shut down for more than a month over the holiday period.

Barnom Trio" Ewald Likes Camera Shots In TV's '7 Lively Arts' By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York W) Sunday, NBC-TV's "Assignment Asia" and CBS-TV's "Seven Lively Arts" overlapped, so I gave 45 minutes to each. The Southeast Asia show was earnest and well-intentioned but pictorially shopworn women washing clothes in the river, rice paddies, temples, interviews-in-shallow with political leaders, a wedding, adults learning to read. Inevitably, this sort of thing winds up as a superior kind of travelogue long on faces, short on ideas. Over at CBS-TV, "Arts' was doing "The Nutcracker Suite" with the New York City ballet. I must admit that the dance, along with ice hockey and So phie Tucker, are my cultural blind spots. The human body is a pretty limited vehicle of ex pression and the sight of a male dancer poised in an arabesque has always struck me as fairly ludicrous. Too, the dance and TV always seem at odds with each other. Like other spatial diversions baseball, the grand canyon, fash- Births ADAMS To Mr. and Mrs. Elmer, route 2, box 788, Cen tral Point, Dec. 21, 1957, a girl, 6 pounds, at Rogue Valley hos pital. n lt; ENDS TONIGHT lUrMIH'IMI'HU'lil MERRY CHRISTMAS u I T3 PLUS SIX GUN ACTION mccrea jfTpff iJJFJ!
