Senators Haggle Over hrm Bill WASHINGTON CP The political. ly explosive farm bill, pushed back on the Senate docket again under disputed circumstances, may be the final major business for the adjournment-bound Congress. Ecu. Aiken R-Vt) said today he has no Intention of trying to 'get Senate action on the farm measure until "next midweek, probably Wednesday." Aiken, chairman of the senate Agriculture committee, added in an interview: "All I want to make certain is that if there is no farm legislation at this session that I'm not going to take the rap for it." Aiken smiled away a blistering statement issued last night by Sen ate Democratic leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas which branded as "simply . . . not true" Aiken's assertion that Democrats forced a delay in Senate action on the farm bill. Aiken called reporters to his of fice early yesterday and told them the Democratic leadership had served notice on him not to bring up the farm bill until next Tuesday or Jaler. Aiken said this might prevent any farm legislation because of plana to end the session next Satur day, whether Congress will meet (hat target for adjournment is questionable. Late in the day, Johnson fired back with a statement that Aiken had engaged In "distortions and Inaccuracies." Referring to the all night session the night before, John son said it was "the kind of mis understanding that can arise when senators are too tired and weary to think clearly." If prospects for a farm bill arc "dimming," as Aiken said, John son said this resulted from "the artificially Imposed deadline of July 31st for congressional adjourn ment , . , Imposed by the Repub lican leadership Itself." Johnson added that the "Demo crats are ready to consider farm legislation at any reasonable time.- Johnson said "It is no secret' that Secretary of Agriculture Ben son "would be perfectly happy" If a flexible price support program, enacted in 1948-40 but never put into operation, became law through inaction of congress this session. It will take effect If no new law is enacted. Aiken's committee, by an 8-7 vote, rejected President Elsenhow er's proposal for a flexible price support program and instead urged a oneyear extension of rigid sup ports on live basic crops that have operated since World War II. Aiken Is seeking to overturn this decision by his committee and en act a flexloln price system similar io one already voted by the House. MtlNU'IfAI. COURT Howard A.

J THE CAR OF TOMORROW ..HERE TODAY FOR - B No Action (Continued from page 1) was reported that a special prose cutor might be assigned to Klamath county by the attorney general under orders from the governor. Attorneys here pointed out that without hearing from Judge Van- denberg or District Attorney Alder. son such action would not have been feasible. Neither the Judge nor the district attorney were asked to attend the conference. Alderson refused to say Friday whether he Intends o file addition. al motions for a change of judges. He already has disqualified Judge Vandenberg to try five pending criminal cases. Judge Ralph M. Holman of Oregon City and Judge Charles Foster of Lakeview have been assigned to handle these cases. Attorney Jack, when he was first asked to investigate the court feud here said he believed the statute should be changed so that lawyers would have to show cause when they asked for a change of Judges. At present no reason for a cnangc of Judge Is required. Scientists Launch War On Cancer By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE SAO PAULO. Brazil 11 Scien tists from 54 nations on both sides of the Iron Curtain launched a new Joint assault today against cancer, which kills someone in the world every 10 seconds. The nations include Russia, the United States, Britain, Korea, Po land, Brazil, Chile, Greece. Hun garyIn fact .almost any country you can name. - Nearly 1,000 physicians, chem ists, physicists, biologists and otiier scientists are conferring here ' and exchanging their latest knowl edge to mobilize better answers to the death and suffering from cancer. . Their meeting ground is the Sixth International Cancer Con gress, which opened today in this booming Brazilian metropolis. The congress last met in Paris in 1950. In the next week the delegates will listen to some 500 reports deal ing with treatment, detection, new scientific research and public ed ucation concerning cancer. They also will meet Informally, seeking from or telling to other men and women scientists the find ings which might supply keys to the answers they and the people of, their nations want. The cancer congress was formal ly' opened this morning by Dr. An tonio Prudente, the congress pres ident and head of the Brazilian Cancer Institute: ' About three million persons over the world fall victim to cancer annually, he said in his opening address. Dr. Prudente said new promises from research in various fields of fer great hope, and each new fact learned Is potentially useful in solving the riddle. "I feel sure," he said, "this con zress. which brings together men of all races, religions and political creeds, shall fight for the same Ideal" the ultimate triumph over cancer. Prior to the opening session. Dr. George T, Pack, of New York's Memorial Hospital, told yesterday of a bold new operation to cure cancer of the liver. In some cases he said, the whole tight lobe of the liver 75 tp 80 per cent ot the or ganhad been removed by new surgical techniques. After such operations, Dr. Pack said, the left lobe regenerates and expands un til the liver becomes nearly its nrlcrlnal size. Six of these operations have been performed In the past two vears, he said. The first patient to undergo the new surgery is liv ing and well today.

Ul British Columbia lumbermen . look south below the border and see a great opportunity for business. Rut they're so busy with do mestic and other export commit ments most are forced to pass up the chances of new profits. For five weeks now, striking woodworkers in Washington, Ore gon and Calitornia have cut United States output of softwoods by a crippling one-third. For a month now. orders for B.C. lumber have poured into mills and wholesalers here from the eastern United States. In many cases, however, the urtrentlv-wanted cedar, fir. and hemlock has Just not been avail able. One reason for the short supply on hand is a late start in interior cutting because of prolonged snow run-offs in recent weeks. And much of the lumber that Is cut and boomed is earmarked for earlier overseas orders. Already, increased sales to the eastern U.S. have been estimated nt five per cent and lumbermen here are confident the percentage will go higher yet. Employment in the forests is higher than this time last year. Mills report production now is in full swing and likely to stay. that way with the present firm mar ket. With no early settlement likely in tlx Pacific Northwest, lumber men here say the U.S. wholesalers' position will become increasingly desperate. They point to booming construc tion and a congressional selection with housing one of the big issues. Retail yards are also clamoring for lumber supplies. Some lumbermen are forecast ing B.C.'s best year in the timber business for some time if the U.S. strike drags on much longer. WITHM0BIL POWER COMPOUND Sit iMobilqas , ; whom sustained severe cuts and bruises. Members of the PBY crew were not permitted to describe the rescue. Six of the 12 passengers were Americans Including five mem bers of one family. Singapore headquarters of Cath ay Pacific Airlines, operators of the' four-engine Skymaster, said "all survivors" had been rescued and the search had been called off. Airline Manager Geoffrey. Skel eton said he could not say. whether additional persons had been saved or whether no more could be found. In addition to the survivors picked up by the U. S. flying boat. Cathay said three were rescued by a British Sunderland. There were rescued by a small boat from were reports th three others Hainan. Eyewitnesses aboard two com mercial planes which saw the Sky. master crash land after one en gine caught fire said scores of small boats and sampans put out quickly from Hainan and all aboard the plane probably were rescued unless some were trapped inside. The plane went down within one minute, said British newsman Rus sei Spurr, who was aboard an Air Vietnam plane which circled the scene for 45 minutes. Spurr said he saw a small boat pick up three persons from a life raft. The three presumably are in Communist hands. Cathay Pacific identified Amer icans aboard the Skymaster as Capt. and Mrs. L. L. Parish and their three children of Los An geles, and P. S. Thacker, address unavailable. Three British citizens on the plane were listed as Mrs. P. M. Thorburn, wife of a Hong Kong bank official; Mrs. H. M. Flnlav. wife of the British consul at Medan, Sumatra, and Paul Yong Nam Ying, a student. The Skymaster ' was en route from Singapore to Hong Kong via Bangkok when a port engine caught fire and the pilot ditched at 9 a.m. , The captain flashed an SOS be fore crash landing in the sea and rescue planes and ships converged on the scene from Hong Kong and the Philippines. For a time it was feared that rescue operations would be com plicated by the proximity of Com munist territory. There was no in dication from the U. S.
