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."

CHICAGO The possibility
that Montgomery want Tnome
was poisoned confronted a coro
nor's jury today as It resumed its
investigation of the death of the
20-ycar-old heir to a multimillion-
dollar mail order fortune.
Dr. Harry Leon, coroner's pa'
thologlst, testifying at yesterday's
lnauest. said he thinks Thome may
have been poisoned. ,
This is still a suspicious death,
he said.
Leon read a report to Coroner
Walter T. McCarron by Dr. W. J.
R. Camp, state toxicologist, show
ing an "Insignificant trace quantity
of barbltuate, a trace quantity of
alkaloid giving color reactions in
dicating morphine" were found in
the youth's brain.
A combination of enough alcohols
such as were found in Thome's
body and more dope could have
caused his death. Dr. Leon de
clared. The alcohol, he said, may
have evaporated or been dissipated
in the body before the atuopsy was
performed. -

Hons:
1. What was the relationship of
and a
the dead youth and his nother,
Mrs. Marion Thome?
2 Was Thome a "drunk"
"dope addict?"
3. 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
