Neuberger referred provides

also provides that if no pur

provision tor the conservation

Farm Bill
in House
the House shouldn't waste
time debating or amending
the measure because it would
take many days to revamp it
into acceptable form.
Although most major pro
visions were opposed by the
administration, especially
those revamping price support
programs, the bill contained
administration-backed legisla
tion to extend two programs
which are scheduled to expire
at midnight Monday.
These provide for disposing
of farm surpluses abroad and
for providing subsidized milk
for children in summer camps,
schools and day-care centers.
Republicans said this legis
lation which already has
passed the Senate, could be
called up separately and
rushed through the House to
the White House today or
Friday under a special parli
amentary procedure.
There were indications that
House leaders ; would adopt
this course.
The rejected bill called for
one of the biggest revisions in
farm price support programs
since the New Deal came to
power in 1933. It would have
allowed producers of milk,
corn and grain sorghums to
subject themselves to unprec
edented production controls in
exchange for higher price
guarantees.
It also would have jacked
up sharply the price of wheat
going into cereals, bread and
bakery products. Republicans
denounced this provision as
a "bread tax."
Democratic farm leaders
pleaded in ,vain for floor con
sideration of the measure.

Portland Firm's
Bid on Raising
Dam Is Accepted
The R. A. Heintz Construc
tion company of Portland has
been awarded a $2,635,493
contract to enlarge Emigrant
dam.
Heintz was low bidder. Nine
bids were opened by the bu
reau of reclamation here
June 3. The contract was au
thorized today by Interior
Secretary Fred Seaton, ac
cording to United Press Inter
national. The dam will be raised to
a height of 190 feet. It will
be earth-fill over the present
110-foot concrete dam and
will provide additional "water
in the Talent project. Capacity
will be increased from 8.000
to 40,000 acre feet, according
to bureau of reclamation of
ficials. After Season
Construction at the Emi
grant lake site probably will
Jtart this fall after the irriga
tion season. The reservoir will
not be used for two years.
Water for irrigation purposes
during that period will be
directly from facilities in the
Cascades. " ' -I
Heintz Construction com
pany now is building Howard
Prairie dam, which will be
ready for use later this year.
Included in the Emigrant
dam project are two earth
dikes, tunnel outlet works and
other minor features. High
way 66 at the Klamath Junc
tion will be relocated where
arms of the lake will extend
over' the present highway. A
contract to remove graves
from a cemetery- in the vi
cinity was awarded recently.
Work Progressing
The Emigrant dam contract
brings to about $9,000,000 the
value of contracts awarded
in the Talent project in the
past year. Work has been pro
gressing on contracts worth
more than $5,800,000, which
includes Howard Prairie dam,
delivery canals, tunnels and
the .Green Springs Power
plant.
When completed, the Talent
project will provide irrigation
water for 5,130 acres of new
land and a supplemental sup
ply to about 10,000 acres now
irrigated in the Talent Irriga
tion district. It also will sup
ply supplemental water to
13,200 acres of land in the

In Goldfine Case
Washington (UPI) John Fox told House influence
investigators today that millionaire Bernard Goldfine told
him he had "bought into various ventures" for his friend
Sherman Adams, President Eisenhower's chief assistant.
Fox also swore that Goldfine boasted to him that Adams
would "take care of" his troubles with two federal agencies
and that in at least one instance Adams actually did so.
' Adams branded "virtually' V41II charges against him by
Fox as "deliberate and malicious 'falsehoods."

today that his Democratic

His newspaper was forced

to block - the sale of notes

"whether it was legal or not."
Goldfine once told him
that $550,000 in notes held
by a corporation he controlled
"represented payments made
by him for the most part to
politicians." Fox said he
didn't know whether there
was "any consideration."

scientific nuclear talks at
Geneva Tuesday despite the
Kremlin threet to boycott the

A brief U.S. note was dis
patched with unusual diplo
matic speed and delivered to
the Soviet Foreign Ministry
in Moscow this morning. It
expressed hope that Soviet
scientists will show up for the
talks dealing witb technical
possibilities of detecting nu
clear explosions if a testing
ban agreement is reached.
Agreement Wanted
The Soviet threat to scuttle
the conference came Wednes
day when the Russians de
clared they would not partici
pate unless the U.S. agreed in
advance to end nuclear weap
ons testing.
The U.S. position has been
and continues to be that the
Geneva meeting of scientists
to discuss how to police a pos
sible nuclear test ban does not
commit any of the participat
ing countries to attempt to try
to negotiate such test cuspen
sion. Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles indicated the
U.S. reaction after a White

He said he wanted to give .
the Russians "a final last
