The grand Jury interrupted Us deliberations1 Tuesday to ask Cir cuit Judge Fred McHenry lor In formation and instructions about that part of the state criminal code which reads: "The a-rand iurv ought to find an indictment when all of the evi dence before them, taken together, is such as in their judgment would, if unexplained or uncontra dicted, warrant a conviction by the trial Jury." Since the grand Jury's delibera tions are secret It was uncertain Just how this section of the code applied to the matters under con sideration, but it appeared to hint at the jury getting toward its de cision. Dist. Atty. William Mollen. wno is conducting the hearing, and Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton, who is aiding him, both were asked to leave the room during testimony by Leo C. Brayton, New port justice of peace. Other witnesses Tuesday were J. E. Hammack, Devils Lake jus tice of the peace, Rnd Capt. Ray Howard, commander of the state police district which includes Lin coln County. Otto Cahill, who formerly held Hammack's job and who is leader of a group critical of law enforce ment practices In the county, was to testify Wednesday Soroprimists (Continued from page 1) early life overseas in the interior of China.' Her two children were born in China. The family was there during the invasion of the Communist" and her memories of the terrors of war are poignant and impressive, She paid deep tribute to General issimo Chlang-Kal-shek. whom sne said' was sold down the river at the Yalta conference.-It has been the Generalissimo, she said, "who was the only representative of the five great cowers. Including the United States who has kept his word on world agreements." Of the 38 years that China has been a republic, 33 years have been spent at war. Mrs. Campbell, based her observance on the pre diction that China may not become a democracy for many years, per haps generations, because of the slow .acceptance of western teach ings. She touched briefly upon the significance of Communist meth ods of brain washings, predicted the recognition of Red China at the Geneva conference this spring, and in closing asked for understanding of the problems of the people of China and India in the crusade for world peace. Mrs. Campbell was Introduced by Mrs. Frank Adams, president. Mrs. Charles Lamm was toast- mistress. Mrs. C. A. Backes was general chairman for the dinner at which iepresentatives of several clubs and organizations were guests.

Weather Benson Sales Plan Backed WASHINGTON Wl Secretary of Agriculture Benson's plan for a better selling Job" to disnose of some of this nation's huge farm surpluses had support Wednesday from senators critical of other Benson proposals. Sens. Young (R-ND) Russell (D-Ga) and Ellender (D-La), in separate interviews, said they ap proved Benson's proposals for mov ing more U, S. wheat, cotton and other farm surpluses into foreign and domestic outlets: All three senators oppose admin istration proposals to Jet present rigid farm price supports on basic crops expire at the end of this year in favor of a flexible price crop system which, at least at the start, would result in lower government-assured prices. Russell suggested at a hearing Tuesday that farmers be allowed to decide what kind of price sup port system they want. Benson. while voicing some reservations, said he was confident farmers would make the correct decision if they had all the facts. The secretary told a Senate Ap propriations Subcommittee the government had 6 billion dollars tied up in farm commodities now and this may Jump to more than 8 billion dollars before this year ends. "We do not Intend to dumn sur. pluses anywhere, either at home or abroad," Benson said, adding that both "commercial sales and relief uses' must provide outlets. Benson said trade missions would leave soon for Europe, Asia and Latin America in an effort to ex pand irorld trade through regular commercial channels.

Douqlas Hike In Fifth Lap Along the.C&O Canal In Western Maryland Wl Talk oi a compro mise on'the question of converting the -scenic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Into a highway accompanied the Douglas hikers today on the llfth lap of their 184-mile walk to Washington. The party of 23 led by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas left the Potomac Fish and Game Club today on the fifth leg of their hike, about 22 miles to tne Conococheague Sportsmen's Club between Shepherdstown, W. Va. and Antietam, Md. Irston Barnes, president of the Audubon .Society of Washington, D. C, said some members of the party who originally favored parkway now agree that many places along the canal should not be touched by the proposed hign-way. Others. Barnes said, who wanted to keep the canal untouched now are beginning to understand it should be made more accessible. Douglas, himself, has said there Is not room for a highway along the canal without spoiling the natural beauty of the area. But his own thoughts on developing the canal as a recreational area which could be used by "tens of thou sands" include more access roads. in order that you all may be come acquainted with the two crafts and also learn of what the classes will consist.

Senate Fight Looms Over Passage of Exise Tax Cut WASHINGTON I The Senate takes up today a bill to slash ex cise taxes by almost a billion dol lars yearly, with- the administra tion facing a light to prevent furth er cuts in revenue. - Both Sen. Mllllkln (R-Colo), floor manager for the measure, and Majority Leader Knowland (R-Callf) predicted the bill would go through without any substantial change. ' - But, unlike the House, the Senate considers tax - legislation under procedure that permits amend ments to be offered freely. ' Thus industries which would get uo tax relief in the excise mea sure as presented to the House by its , Ways and Means Committee will have their first new opportun ity to seek cuts in the Senate. The Senate leadership hopes to get final action on the bill by Fri day. The measure then will have to go to conference with the House to iron out differences.

(A Officials here scratched their heads and tried their best to over come a serious problem. But they found no solution. Gravel had filled in two famous trout pools. When the stymied men were ready to quit, a pair of energetic beavers with know-how did the trick. They built a pair of dams and therby produced two new pools fot the anglers. tax changes would take effect a week from tomorrow,- Attempts will be made in the Senate to knock out the excise cuts in the bill as well as to add new reductions. ;- .. But the major 'administration challenge appears to come from three amendments sponsored by Sen. Douglas (D-Ill) which would cut the automobile excise tax from 10 to i per cent; eliminate the 10 pee cent levy on a wide range of household appliances Including re frigerators, stoves, freezers, iron, ers, dryers, ' dish washers and toasters; and cut the tax on tele vision and radio sets and phono graphs from 10 to -5 per cent. These proposals would boost the tax reductions in the bill by about 530 million dollars. As passed bv the House, the bill cut about 25 excises by 912 million dollars. The Senate Finance Committee, which Mllllkln heads, eliminated a few of the House cuts but added others of its own so th it the total revenue loss would be i58 million a year. The bill would also extend for a year beyond April 1 a series of major excise Increases voted In 1951 after the Korean War began. Items affected 1 n o 1 u d e autos, trucks, cigarettes, liquor, wine, beer and gasoline. Douglas argues that his amend ments would give a needed shot in the arm to consumer purchases in the current business downtown. Ho says the cuts he proposes should reduce prices of autos by $50 and of major appliances by about $25. Mllllkln contends, on the olhir hand, that the Treasury cannot stand the additional loss of more than half a billion in revenue. 8en. George (D-Ga). leadlnir Democratic spokesman on tax matters, said he believes the amendment on household appli ances will be adopted. He said in an Interview manv of these appliances clearly were necessities which get no relief in uie present bill. On the other hand. such items as furs and night club admissions are reduced. "We ought to be . ashamed of ourselves" for cutting luxuries and not necessi ties, George said. AND SIDING $$$ SAVE $$$ Deal with the man whs dees the work W. S.
