Satirist Conducts Omaha Symphony Omaha, Neb. (DPD The Omaha Symphony played a sineine commercial the other onight and guess who led the band? Stan Freberg. The same Stan Freberg who has made those silly, satirica.l records. He's making satirical. but legitimate, radio commer cials now and directing an occasional symphony or chestra. Freberg has recently pro duced, a series of commercials for a coffee company which headauarters here. In his long and Knee-slapping commerci als, Freberg features the city of fimaha. It was only rfitural well almost natural that Fre berg would wind up leading the Omaha Symphony in a performance of his latest com mercial, "The Omana suite," at a pops concert. The symphony patrons are still talking about It.

Hu bert H. Humphrey (D-Minn.) today launched an uphill Sen ate battle to rewrite an administrative-backed farm bill and preserve parity as the ba sis of national farm policy. Humphrey charged that trig bill, with administration bless ing, would "openly abandon the objective of seeking to bring farm prices and farm purchasing power into closer relationship with . . . the rest of our economy." In a speech of some 80 pages, prepared for delivery today, Humphrey asserted the measure was "the result of submission to what is virtu ally legislative blackmail giving in to Agriculture Sec retary Ezra T. Benson under the fear of otherwise getting nothing at all." Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) of the Senate Agricul ture committee, leading spokesman for Southern Dem ocrats who favor the bill, warned as debate opened Wednesday night that unless new farm legislation is enact ed this year cotton and rice planting allotments will be cut drastically in 1959 and thousands of farmers may be "driven from the land." Predicts Passage Ellender predicted the meas ure would be approved with out major changes. He said its major provisions would prevent acreage cuts for rice growers, offer cotton growers a choice of relatively high or moderately reduced allot ments, and give corn growers Touring Church Members Killed In Truck Mishap Lone Pine, Calif. (DPD Two members of a touring church group were killed and 12 others were injured in a truck accident Wednesday on the eastern edge of Death Valley, about 20 miles east of here. The California Highway Pa trol said a 1951-model truck, carrying 11 counselors and 17 high school students on a trip sponsored by the Ithaca, N.Y., Westminister Foun d a t i o n, went out of control on a curve and skidded 200 feet. The wooden enclosure on the back was ripped off. Dead Identified The dead were identified as Alfred Lee Klaer Jr., 15, and Charles Darling, both of Ithaca. Medical aid was rushed to the crash scene by air, and ambulances from surrounding communities carried the 12 injured to the Southern Inyo hospital here. Many were in serious condition. The Highway Patrol said the truck was driven by Floyd Leslie Downs, 22, of Schenec tedy, N.Y. A second truck rushed to town to report the accident. House of Lords Admits 4 Women London (DPD The House of Lords today admitted four women to membership, the first in 700 years. The four chosen to join the hitherto all-male upper cham ber of Parliament are: Baron ess Ravensdale, 26, social worker whose maternal grand father was the late L. Z. Lei- ter of Washington, D.

Princess Margaret Tours Fraser Valley Vancouver, B. Cv (DPD The final phase of Princess Margaret's two-week tour of British Columbia begins today with a trip through the Fraser Valley.

A graduate of San Jose State college, Cleland has been a teacher and vice prin cipal at the Butte Valley High school for the past five years. complete planting freedom and "stable" prices. Sen. William Proxmire (D Wis.), however, denounced the bill as a "fatal compromise w i th . the administration's dreadfully wrong policy." He served notice he would join Humphrey and others in seek ing amendments to save the parity principle, and raise dairy and feed grain supports. For cotton, ' rice and corn, the bill abolishes the "fair earning power" parity price as the basis for government price supports. Beginning in 1959 for corn and in 1961 for cotton and rice, the parity principle would be replaced by support based on 90 per cent of the past three-year open market price, Price Floors Set- Permanent price floors un der the new plan would Be 30 cents per pound for middling inch cotton, $1.10 per bushel for corn, 60 per fent of parity for other animal feed grains, and $4 per hundredweight for rice. au ieaerai, planting con-i trols for corn would be drop ped. Sen. Milton R. Young (R N.D.) Wednesday night of fered the first amendment to the bill. He proposed a four year extension of the national wool act, now scheduled to expire next March 31, with price supports under the act to be limited to 85 per cent of parity. Sen Frank Barrett (R-Wyo.), a leading sponsor of the wool legislation, indicated he was prepared to accept the limita tion. Under the act, growers sell their wool in the open market and get direct govern ment supports to cover the difference between market prices and support levels.
