PAGE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WKDNKSDAV, JULY 7, 19S4 High Farm Price Props SaidHarmfu! WARSAW, Ind. Mt Secretary of Agriculture Benson told a Farm er Day audience Tuesday that farmers, already caught in a cost price squeete, are being hurt fur ther by high support prices. He cited specifically the rigid support on the nation's baslo feed grain, corn, and the encourage ment of wheat and cotton produc tion beyond the country's demands. "ArtMically high supports for the baslo commodities In the face of declining demands," Benson said, "have resulted In continued pro duction at levels far above cur rent market demands. The result is back-breaking surpluses of crops such as wheat and cotton ana me necessity for more stringent pro duction controls than most farm ers will wish to live with, year in and year out." Benson said he has recommend ed that eight million acres of wheat, planted under stimulus of World War II crop needs and maintained under high price sup ports, be returned to grass. He said it costs about $700,000 a day ' to store the present surplus. He explained that under the ad ministration's plan of flexible price supports a farmer could study market prices and determine for himself wnicn crops wou nmfitahln for him. This alternative Is far prefer able, Benson said, than having the government, under a rigid support program, teu ine larmer u if formers keot supplies within manageable proportions," the sec retary said, "allowing for normal carryovers, the level of price sup port would always be at or near 90 per cent under tee flexible sys tem." 1 l-r.A"-v-.ti:5 FROM ALL OVER THE KLAMATH IASIN came entries for the roundup parade July 5, Includ ing group from Fort Klamath led by Lefty Wild Eagle Wilder and hit wife Genie pulling a travois.

Why was he living in a $75-a-month apartment on Chicago's norm siae out or touch with his family when he was found dead june ir ' 4. Why did he change his will caving nail his estate to his fi ancee Maureen Ragen and one quarter to her mother Aleen nine days before his death? S. Was Thome being black mailed? His mother entered the Jammed courtroom with stoic determina tion. Her chalk-white face con trasted with her black crepe dress and the diamond-crusted cross at her throat. Bordering ori collapse as the barrage of questions wore on, she made these points: I. She claimed she "barely knew" her son's 18-year-old fiancee who displaced her as chief heir in his lent will. 3. She openly doubted that the pair meant to marry, saying. "He certainly had a lot of girls for an engaged ooy. 3. She charged that Thome was being blackmailed when he died and didn't come home for that reason. No details of the blackmail were given. 4. She said Thome had come home "drunk" once and she had heard rumors he was taking dope but strongly denied she ever had him arrested, accusing him of alcoholism or narcotics addiction. - At one point in the questioning, Mrs. Thome said: "I was praying for God to send him home. He did, but He sent him to bis real home. For two years I traveled the road to Calvary, and now I am at the foot of the cross, and it is up to you people to take over. "Thank God, I know where he Is now," she said, nervously linger inn a rosary. In sharp contrast with her testi mony, sgt. Mlcnaej Murpny nsa told the court that Thome told him and Detective Walter Binder: "I don't like to say it, but I am living away from home because I don't like my mother." Murphy also quoted Thome as saying that his mother called the school Miss Ragen attended and told officials Thome had syphilis and not to permit any of the girls to go out with him. Thome had been picked up at his mother's request. Murphy tes tified, after a parking ticket issued to Thome was found In a doctor's car. A medical kit containing nar cotics had been stolen from the car. - i REST LEAVE TOKYO m The addition ef another troop ship to the Army rest-leave fleet will make it pos sible for 600 additional men from Korea to have leave in Japan each week, the Army said today.
