Freedoms Given
In Farm Program
Des Moines, Iowa (IP)
Agriculture Secretary Ezra
Taft Benson has told Ameri
can farmers their "four free
doms" are being provided for
by the Administration farm
program.
"The liberties you want are
more freedom to plant, more
freedom to market, more free
dom to meet competition, and
more freedom from govern
ment interference, Benson
said Friday at a meeting of the
20th anual National Farm in
stitute" get-together.
Benson said farmers can
not have "mixed formula cal
culations" and "rigid parity,"
and still have an economically
sound, feasible program.
The key features of the Eis
enhower farm program, Ben
son said, are larger acreage al
lotments for crops and price
supports ranging from 60 to
90 per cent of parity, instead
of 75 to 90 per cent. '

MEDFORD (OREGON)
Explosion Area
For Nuclear Test
Indicated By AEC
Washington The
Atomic Energy Commission
is warning the world that the
danger area for its forthcom
ing Nuclear tests in the Pa
cific will comprise roughly
390,000 square nautical miles
in the vicinity of Eniwetok.
The rectangular area is ap
proximately the same size as
that used in the 1956 tests,
but its east and west bound
aries have been shifted about
120 nautical miles to the west
the AEC said.
The area will be off limits
to unauthorized planes and
ships as of April 5. The AEC
estimated most, if not all, of
it will be reopened some time
during August.
But it said "it is not now
possible to set the exact
date."
It said there will be a sur
vey to check on the dissipa
tion of radio-activity after
the tests.
The area includes Eniew
tok and Bikini Atolls at its
southern boundary and ex
tends northward toward Wake
Island and westward toward
Guam. Neither Wake nor
Guam are in the area, how
ever. Press Must Fight
To Keep Liberties
Eugene (IP) America's
press must constantly fight
to help preserve all the con
stitutional liberties if It
wants to retain its freedom,
Ralph D. Casey,"" director of
the school of journalism at
the University of Minnesota,
said Friday.
Casey attacked growing
government secrecy and urged
greater efforts in assuring the
"people's right to know."
The Minnesota journalism
director sounded this warn
ing in delivering the annual
Eric W. Allen memorial ad
dress before some 200 news
papermen attending the Ore
gon press conference.
"Only as the press aids in
helping to preserve all the
constitutional liberties can it
really assure itself of remain
ing free," Casey said.

Airmen Plan
New Rocket Craft
Washington (IP) The Air
Force hopes to put a man into
orbit around the earth and
bring him back safely in a
rocket craft called the X15B.
The XI 5B would be a new
version of the X15 which is
to be tested early next year.
It was learned Saturday
that the Air Force has pro
posed to undertake the X15B
manned satellite, project some
time after the X15 tests.
The new plane, to built by
North American Aviation,
Inc., will be capable of shoot
ing out well over 100 miles
from the earth, go into orbit,
and then return.
Officials said the X15B
would have a high efficiency
in fuel consumption and a
"far greater kick" than the
three XI 5 models now being
built.
