Benson Has
Ike's Full
Confidence
' By ED CREAGH
WASHINGTON I President
Elsenhower Wednesday voiced full
commence ln secretary of Agri
culture Benson who has come un
der fire from some Congress mem.
bers.
Elsenhower also told a news con
ference he believes the nation's
cattlemen and farmer are taking
tneir current problems in stride
and are not. as upset about them
as some politicians are.
The President said he is not go
ing to be critical of his secretary
of agriculture because Benson has
not yet produced a quick solution
of the farm problem.
ANSWER TO YOUNG
His statements came when he
was asked about assertions by
Sen. Young (R-ND) that Benson
should resign because, Young said,
the Cabinet member had "lost the
confidence of the farmers."
Eisenhower said he thinks It is
up to the President to decide who
should be his principal advisers
In each field of government.
And he declared he has seen no
one more dedicated than Benson
to working out the problem of the
conflict between producers and
consumers.
He said among other things:
NO ELECTION ENTRY
1. He does not plan to take any
part on the state or local level
In next year's congressional elec
tions. ...... . 'i: 1 .' ;'
2. On Uie subject of Opl. Edward
S. . Dickenson, the ' soldier who
changed his mind about remain
ing in Communist hands consid
ering the Intense indoctrination to
which American prisoners were
subjected, he sometimes wonders
there weren't more who elected
to stay behind. ,
. He does not . know whether
lt would be possible to sell the
Tennessee Valley Administration
to private industry without wreck
ing the entire -system. He had been
asked to comment on the state
ment by Clarence Manion, head of
commission studying; federal-
state relations, that TVA never
should have been built and ought
to be sold by tne federal govern
ment.
IN ON ISRAEL .
4. On Israel, he reported with a
firm yes, but did not elaborate,
when asked if he had discussed
with Secretary of State Dulles the
cutting off of economic aid to that
country.
The President did say, ln another
connection, however, that while the
general cost of living has contin
ued to rise It is leveling off to
a considerably greater extent than
in recent years.
Beck Sees Men

waterfront.
Beck Is one of five AFL officials
setting up a new longshoremen s
union rivaling the one expelled by
the federation on grounds of fall
ing to rid Itself of racketeers.
He referred to the danger of the
Job Tuesday in a talk to the Na
tional press Club.
Beck also said the influence of
labor unions with the Eisenhower
administration is weak in com
parison with that of business and
farmers, and that organized la
bor may be "driven" into a polit
ical partv of its own if "the present
trend of conditions continues."

The Day

cated in working out the conflict
between producers and consumers.
When asked what he thought of
North Dakota Sen. Milton Young's
remarks that Benson should re
sign for losing the farmers' confi
dence, Eisenhower said he thinks
it Is up to Uie President to decide
who his principal advisors should
be. The President said also ne
thinks the nation's cattlemen and
farmers aren't nearly as upset
about their problems as some poli
ticians are.
The President declared also
that the cost of living has reached
a peak and that the increase in
the living cost level has been less
than one percentage point so far
this year compared with average

The other cities with their own

Since the department began in

arrest of the kidnapers here and
the recovery of half of the 8600,000
ransom, indicated, however, the
key witness, Lt. Louis 8houlders,
may again postpone his appear
ance. It was Shoulders acting on a tip
from taxi driver John Hager, who
arrested Carl Austin Hall and Mrs.
Bonnie Brown Heady, the con
fessed kldnap-klllers of 6-year-old
Bobby Oreenlease, and recovered
about 8293,000 of the ransom.
Hager was questioned for six
hours by the panel yesterday.
O'Connell said he talked to
Shoulders yesterday and found
h 1 m "still emotionally upset."
Shoulders' physician told news
men the officer suffered a nervous
condition after overworking him
self on the case.
The physician. Dr. Charles M.
Bauman, said he believed Shoul
ders should not be questioned at
this time because of fiis health.
O'Connell also said the inquiry
might move to Kansas City to
question Mrs, Sandra June O'Day,
"if the FBI will let us talk to
her." Mrs. O'Day, held as a mater
ial witness, has admitted staying
with Hall in a St. Louis County mo
tel the night before his arrest Oct. 6.
Tne police inquiry here was or
dered Sunday after published re
ports that FBI agents were inves
tigating possible discrepancies in
the police reports in their search
for the missing 8300,000 ransom.
Hager told newsmen before tes
tifying yesterday that he had been
"hounded so much by this thing
that my wife has become a nerv
ous wreck." He added:
"All this because I decided to tip
off Lt, Shoulders, It's gotten so I
wish I had never called the po
lice. And you can bet your bottom
dollar I won't call them again on
anything."
Hager also reaffirmed to news
men that it was he who registered
for Hall at the Town House apartment-hotel
where Hall later was
nabbed on Hager's tip that he was
armed and on a spending spree.
Mrs. Jean Fletcher, on duty at
the hotel desk at the time, has
said it was neither Hall nor Hager
who registered for the room. She
was a witness yesterday. .
Other witnesses yesterday in
cluded Patrolman Elmer Dolan,
who accompanied Shoulders in
I Hall's arrest. Both have - said
Shoulders left the station ln his
private car after Hall was booked.
Shoulders did not mention his
absence in his written report
Mrs. Heady and Hall are held ln
Kansas City on federal kidnaping
charges. .
Yesterday a lawyer, Harold Hull
of MaryvUUv Mq . conferred-with
Mrs. Heady but said later he had
not decided whether he would rep
resent her. He indicated that if he
took the case he would attempt to
get a federal court order for Mrs.
Heady to undergo a psychiatric
examination before her trial. Hall
has not .had counsel.

The County Court was today put

than to -vacate the dwellings so
that they may be disposed of by

THREE ALTERNATIVES
According to the letter from
Charles E. Slusser, commissioner
of the Public Housing Administra
tion, forwarded to Doyle Edwards
from Cordon's office, the basio leg
islation governing the operation
and disposition of these projects,
which are classified as temporary
housing, provides three alternate
methods of disposition as lonows:
1. Relinquishment to an eligible
local body under certain condi
tions. 2. on-site sale If the local' govern
ing body determines, by resolution,
that the housing - is suuaoie ior
long-term use either with or with

3. Removal from the site ln the

'DELAY OF INEVITABLE'
The second letter, an answer to

Eberlein, written to President El
senhower and referred to M. Car
ter McFarland, director of the
Operations Analysis Staff, Housing
and Home finance nivuvj
Washington, D.C., supports Slus
ser's statements and adds that
"postponement of the eviction no
tice merely means a delay of the
Inevitable as our disposition func
tions are mandatory."
"However," McFarland continues,
"WR shall make every effort to
minimize hardships to tenants in
occupancy." McFarland says that
office finds that usually, after
normal apprehension, there la an
orderly rehousing of affected ten
ants with few cases that require
special attention because of hardship.
