Farm Bill OK Seen By Tonight WASHINGTON, Oct. It IJPt Con gresslonal leaders called for swift action today on a newly put to gether farm bill giving the govern ment broad power to support crop prices near present high levels In' definitely. With the house due to vote first. passage of the bllterly-won com-1 promise measure seemed certain before the windup of this session I of congress, expected tonight. Reductions The bill would permit reductions In price supports lor all but a tew major commodities next year. How ever, it gives tne agriculture de partment a choke between such ac tion and maintenance ol present support standards. In some cases, the actual supports would be higher than they are now. The measure apparently i pells defeat or at least a long delay for Secretary ol Agriculture Bran nana plans to give consumers the benefit of unsupported larm prices with the government paying subsi dies to farmers to assure them a pre -determined "lair" price lor their proa uc is. The administration Is not expect ed to give up Its fight for the Brannan pun, however. The Issue may prove to be an Important one In the 1BS0 congressional campaigns which Involve the enure nouse and one-third of the seats in the senate. If the administration chooses to continue present support levels un der the new program aa It la ex pected to no substantial reduction In food costs can be expected, with the possible exception ot beef, lamb, and eggs. federal Deficit $75 Billion In 7950?

Not Bluffing' Answering questions. Vishinsky said V. M. Molotov (then Soviet foreign minister) was "not bluffing' when he said hi 1M7 that Uie Ameri can monopoly on the A-bomb no longer exists. It waa the most con crete official statement on the A-bomb since President Truman an nounced last month that an aloenia WHAT, NO NICKELS? Porking meters on the northwest side of Esplanade, between Main and Wall, stand out like scarecrows in a wheat field. Normally at 10 o'clock in the morn ing when this picture was snapped vehicles fill up this block between The Herald and News ond Barney's Chot 'n' Nibble bn the corner of-Esplanade .and Wall. Here one "ve hicle sticks out, the only car on the block. The empty space seems to howl defiance of the city fathers' order for parking meter installation. Anticipated revenue from these odded meters is for below expectations. P 4 h, . yii ,..SJt t mm f mm i ,n mm ST. BERNARD TRIES OUT FIRST SNOW Hansel, huge mas cot of Timberline lodge high on Mt.

Air Chief Claims B-36's Curb Red's Offensive Efforts WASHINGTON. Oct. It OPn-Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg said today Meter Blues' and the stretch of road la virtually desolate. The reason: money-hungry clock era recently installed as the result of city council action. Backfire The over-all result of the addition al meters haa boomeranged. An ticipated extra revenue la not forth coming because drivers simply do not park or. If they do, neglect to feed the kitty. The empty lot between The Her ald and News building and Barney's Chat 'n' Nibble on the Esplanade Wall corner la getting a big park ing play from drivers escaping the parking toll. One Customer C. H. Barnstable. Chat n' Nibble proprietor, told a Herald and News reporter that a check one morning this week showed only one car park ing from about I In the morning until noon. "The city certainly Isn't making money on the added meters and my empty lot Is getting a lot of traffic play." Barnstable said. Employes of KFLW were particu larly vociferous In arguments against the dockers. "At the rate they're being used the meters won't be paid .for In four years." KFLW Advertising Sales man Aaron Boe stated. rioyd Wynne, KFLW sportscast er, cut In with, "around six states have already outlawed parking me ters because the supreme court ruled that a municipality can't ex tract revenue from frontage where taxes are already being levied." "And as a means of traffic con trol," Wynne added, the meters are useless because there la no drastic traffic problem existing on this stretch." In the meantime, where the block used to be lined with cars, parking meters stand out. bleak and bare crying for nickels and pennies that ar not forthcoming. Cushing Believed Cardinal Choice ROME, Oct. It (Pi At least one American Is expected to be named to the Roman Catholic college ot cardinals at a secret consistory to be held before Christmas, opening of the holy year. Vatican sources place Archbishop Richard J. Cushing ot Boston high among the likely candidates for appointment aa cardinal. then Russia wiU be free to concentrate on developing offensive power, Vandenberg, the air force chief of staff, was before the house armed services committee defending the air force policy of building up a B-3S bomber fleet against navy criticism. The navy, in hearings last week, had argued that the air force should spend less time and money on stra tegic bombers ana more on tactical air power to support ground opera tions. Effects Such a policy shut as this. Van denberg said, would mean: 1. "We would give up the deter rent value of this nation's atomic weapons and we would place our selves In disagreement with all ot those people who, on both sides of the ocean, believe that Soviet ag gression la in tact now being de terred. 7. "We would Inform the Rus sians that they need now take no defensive measures against a pos sible atomic attack on their heart land. B-36. B-37S and B-50s by merely existing can and do force the Soviet union to channel Its In dustrial power, technological skill, manpower and money into purely defensive measures and thus cut down resources which would other wise be devoted to offensive pur poses." ' 3. "If war Is forced on us. this proposal deprives us of the oppor tunity of choking off enemy war making power at Its source." Hearing Jammed The hearing room was Jammed with spectators when Vandenberg. his blouse front agleam with rib bons, took the stand at the direc tion of Chairman Vinson iD-Oa). He was accompanied to the hear ing by Air Secretary Symington, who testified yesterday, and by top air force generals. Vandenberg denied, as Secretary Symington did yesterday, that the air force Is "putting all Its eggs in one basket" the B-38. The navy so charged last week. He dismissed as "nothing but a series of assertions" navy claims that the B-36 could not do the stra tegic bombing Job the air force says It can. REV. O. P. KF.TTF.I.L ROCHESTER, N. Y Oct.

It ijrV-Senator Cain 'R-Wash I tried against odds today to delay senate action until next year on President Tru man's appointment of Mon C. Wail gren to the federal power commis- aton. Cain conceded he had little chance to duplicate his teal of ear lier this year in starting the bon fire which blocked Wallgren'a nom ination aa chairman of the national security resources board. OK Sees Administration leaders predicted that before congress quits prob ably tonight tiM senate will give overwhelming approval to Wall' gren's new appointment.

Survey Shows Fewer Duck Hunt Visitors An unofficial survey shows that the number ot out-of-state duck hunters this season will be "off more than 50 per cent."
