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terrible and outdated philoso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.

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.

Most Aircrafts Up;
Wide Losses in Oils
New York (W Average-wise
the stock market did just about
nothing today.
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.

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.

Lumber Market
Shows Signs of
Rise in Buying
Portland Lumber market
news agencies said Friday some
signs of a rise in lumber buying
was reported last week but did
not continue during the last few
days of the week.
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.
Railroads to Petition
To Discontinue Lines
San Francisco The Southern
Pacific and the Northwestern Pa
cific railroads were to petition
the California State Public Utili
ties commission today for per
mission to discontinue what they
called "money losing trips."
Southern Pacific announced
that it would ask for discontinu
ance of the West Coast, operat
ing between Sacramento and Los
Angeles at a reported annual
loss of $850,000. The railroad
first considered dropping the
service last "year but agreed to
continue on a trial basis after
Central Valley customers pro
tested. Northwestern Pacific Is seek
ing to eliminate the San Rafael
to Willits service, which oper
ates thrice weekly from San
Rafael to Eureka.

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.
