1 FRIDAY, JUNE 27. 1958 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON 1 PAGE 7 A Things Look Politically Better For GOP On Farms ; WASHINGTON (UPI) Things political are looking a bit brighter or Republicans on of all places the farms. Not on all of the farms, of course, but on enough of them to give some farm belt Republican candidates something cheerful to think about. Credit for that will be disputed. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson substantially credits his conservative farm policies which tend away from high and Farm Wages Hike Noted WASHINGTON (AP)-The Agri- culture Department reported Fri day that farmers received 9 per cent more money for agricultural i products sold during the first five months of this year than in the like period last year. The receipts this year were re ported at $11,300,000,000. Contributing to this increase were prices that averaged 8 per cent higher than last year and a . slightly larger volume of market - ings. This report of increased farm returns was made as the depart ment prepared to issue in mid-afternoon Friday its regular, month ly report on prices received by farmers as of the middle of the current month. The upturn in farm prices also carried farm prices to 86 per cent of parity compared with 82 per . cent a year earlier. Parity is a . standard for measuring farm prices declared by law to be' fair to farmers in relation to prices charged them. In its farm income report, the department said returns from livestock and livestock products were up 12 per cent from a year earlier and those from crops up 4 per cent.

Dancing will be enjoyed later in the evening. rigid farm price subsidies. A Democratic wheat farmer in western Kansas would be more inclined to credit the almighty and weather conditions which are bringing toward harvest a big wheat crop. However much the weather may have helped, it is obvious that Benson's farm policies did not as predicted prevent the good things which are happening to many farmers in the Midwest. Good things, especially, for the corn-hog, corn-beef farmers. The grain growers who sell for cash instead of feeding stock are not doing so well. That was the report this month of Bernard Brenner, United Press International farm writer, after a swing through the Midwest and into the Texas cotton fields. Bren ner found farmers and their small town merchant suppliers better off now than previously in many Mid west areas. There are other indicators of opinion. In a recent congressional record was reproduced an editor ial from the Boise (Idaho) Daily Statesman which is listed by edi tor and publisher as an independ ent Republican newspaper. The editorial remarked evidence that Benson was emerging from the farmer's dog house by reason of improvement in the agricultural economy. It is coming to be rather com monly remarked now-a-days," the editorial continued, "that there's no recession in agriculture. And it's a matter of record that farm prices as of last April 15 were about 10 per cent above those of April 1957, while most signifi cantlyfarm costs rose only 3 per cent in that period. Thus arithmetic favors the secretary." Benson touched the same theme in an interview with Brenner, Benson replied that rising costs had hurt farmers more than de clining prices. He estimated the cost hike from 1929 to 1952 at 100 per cent compared to only six per cent since 1952. Assistant Agriculture Secretary Marvin L. McClain told senators three weeks ago that agriculture, long the weakest spot .in the U.S. economy, has been a source ot strength in the current recession. Somewhat earlier, the department predicted a hike in egg prices at the - farm during the next few months. That is big political news of it self because egg money usually is a reward of the farm wife. When prices are right she is likely to be happy, perhaps happy enough to vote Republican. Dairy farmers do not have it as good as the corn-hog corn-cattle feeder men and there are otner soft snots. It all adds up, how ever, to some good news for the Republicans, of which they haven't had much lately. Calm Thief Robs Burlinqame Bank BURLINGAME (UPI) -A calm tanned robber in a Panama hat and conservative gray suit robbed the American Trust Company of $883 Thursday and then slipped away in the noontime crowd. Teller Camille Carlson, 26, re ported that the bandit rested a re volver on the counter and ordered her to "give me what you have." Once he had the money, he or dered Miss Carlson to turn around and then he strolled calmly out the door. Bank Manager Andrew McConnell sprinted after him, but couldn't find him on the crowded street. Judge Mack To Attend Meet Klamath County Judge Charles H. Mack has been named one of two Oregon delegates to the In terstate fublic Lands committee s annual meeting July 20-21 at Gla cier National Park, Montana. Mack will accompany Oregon's other delegate, Jackson County Judge Rod Keating. Eleven western states compose the important group all interested mutually in what happens to tea eral public lands. At a recent State Land Commit tee meeting in Portland, state of Oregon officials agreed this state's share of the interstate group's 1958-59 budget would be S3.50O. Most of the other states will put up considerably less to raise a required 18,000, Dut uregon reans about one-half of the income from all the federal lands in the member states. Also at the State Public Land Committee meeting, the group re affirmed a resolution of last No vember that sale of Klamath tribal lands as part of termination should be postponed until a proper study of the complicated problem can be accomplished. FAMILY CUSTOM OGDEN, Utah Ufi - Dennis R. Earl felt right at home when he joined the Naval Reserve here. He was sworn in by his father, Lt. Comdr. Lemuel R. Earl.

COULD BECOME PROVINCE CHICAGO (UPI) Ambassador Abba Eban of Israel said Thurs day night the nations of the Mid dle East are threatened with be coming "provinces" of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's United Arab Republic. Eban spoke before (he Central Conference ot Amer ican Rabbis. He said the Middle East will come out of its present difficulties as either "a region where separate nations can live free from domination by each oth er . . or it will be an area in which Nasser is the source of re gional power and other states are his provinces or protectorates." lb aH-tt ' a J .- yiir- " rJa yMiM J A ' ft o Hopes for scheduled airline serv'- ice between here and Reno got a shot in the arm today when it was learned U.S. Senators Wayne Morse and Richard Neuberger along with Representative Al Un man are backing the project solid ly. The three legislators notified Chamber Manager R. Frank Tuck er by letter they would appear in person before the Civil Aeronautics Board July 30 when oral hearings Reno air service are to be held.

Anderson, director Air Force Research and Development Command, said the attempts will be made with a three-stage rocket using a Thor missile as a booster in August, September and October. Anderson's statement drew a partial denial from Roy A. Johnson, director of Advanced Research Projects Agency, who said "no final de cision" on the date of the first shot had been made. Drawings above by NEA's John Lane show how the flight might be made and what might happen if the rockets hit or miss. If the rockets miss, Anderson said, they may go into a strange, figure-eight orbit, circling both the moon and the earth. State Representatives Back Klamath-Reno Air Service MIDLAND, Pa. (UPI) David J., McDonald, United Steelworker president, charged today the steel industry was telling a barefaced lie" each time it attempted to "alibi" a price increase by blam ing labor costs. McDonald, in a keynote speech at the USW District 20 conference here, said wage rises were earned through increased productivity at no additional cost to the employ er. He said steel production per employe had risen "impressive ly" year after year. The USW chief cited figures which he said demonstrated the FUNERAL SERVICES for Charles Ager, left, who died in this city June 25, will be held in O'Hair's Memorial Chapel Saturday, June 28, at 10:30 a.m. Interment will be in Yreka, California.

Steel Industry Hit By Mogul Work To Start On New Sewer Last official step in getting con struction under way on the South Suburban Sanitary District's sew er system has been taken, it was announced today. A contract for the job was awarded by directors to Lee Hoff man, Inc., Beaverton contractor, who submitted the low bid of $1,615,672 June 18. The firm told directors it ex pects to start work Monday, July 7. The entire job, calling for in stalling some 45 miles of 8- to 36 inch diameter pipe plus disposal facilities, is slated for completion by September, 1959. Concrete sewer pipe will be used and directors declared it would be rigidly inspected and tested both before and after it's laid. The district, with voters' approv al, has previously sold $1.8 million in bonds to pay for construction, administration, etc. Directors opened bids June 18 from nine contractors. Hoffman's was lowest. rise in production during a long period He said a ton of finished steel requires 15 man hours of work. Thirty-eight years ago, Mc Donald said, 70 man hours were needed to produce a ton of fin ished steel. "In recent years the growth in productivity has averaged be tween three and one half and four per cent," McDonald said. "Un- lortunately, this fact is not known by enough people. And steel in dustry management does its best to conceal this fact from its own employes as well as the public. "By concealing it the industry is able to pretend that the slight est increase in hourly wage rates requires a price increase to pay for it. Any attempt to alibi such price increase by pointing to wages is a barefaced lie." He said industry was "convinc ing in its attempts to stir public indignation with the union. He said many industry spokesmen and "politicians" blame "organ ized labor for the condition of our country." McDonald said "explanations for the (economic) downturn seem to add up to one recommendation I just freeze wages and everything will be all right." FOR SALE Aster Plants 3 doi. $1 Snapdragons ....

VERN OWFNS' Cascade Home Furnishings 124 Nortb 4th Phone TU 4-8365 Reds Refuse U.N. Request BUDAPEST (AP)-Commuist Hungary refused Friday to an swer a U. N. request for informa tion on the recent executions of former Premier Imre Nagy and three other leaders of the Hun garian revolt. Government spokesman Laszlo Gyaros said no information would be provided to the five - nation committee which appealed last Saturday for any information U.N members might have on the exe cutions. Gyaros pointed out that Hungary had not cooperated with the com mittee s original investigation of the revolt. The committee con demned Russia for suppressing what it called a spontaneous na tional uprising. "This organ of the U. N. is a willing instrument of certain im- p e r i a 1 i s t powers," Gyaros charged, "and its activities threat en the impartiality of the U. N. "The government of the Hun garian People's Republic has nev er submitted and will never sub mit to those resolutions passed in the (General) Assembly on the so called Hungarian question, which are an interference in its domestic affairs and thus in conflict with the U. N. Charter." The Hungarian Ministry of Jus tice announced -June 17 that Nagy, Gen. Pal Malcter and. two journal ists had been tried and executed on charges of creating a rebellion against the government. The trials reportedly took place a short time before that and the four were be lieved executed early June 16. The U. N. committee said the four "were secretly sent to death in defiance of the judgment and opinion of the United Nations" and in violation of solemn pledges they would not be harmed. Tucker, too, will be in Wash ington, D.C., and present this com munity's arguments to the board. which must consent to the addition al service. A CAB examiner has recommend ed Klamath rails be given air service to Salem and Boise, which it doesn't currently have. But he failed to recommend the Keno flights, which many local persons believe would be a greater asset than the Boise service. All addi lions are still subject to CAB ap proval. Tucker said he has forwarded all the chamber's arguments for the Reno extension to the three legislators, so they can familiarize themselves in detail on why the service is essential. The manager said one of the chief points to be emphasized is that bus service currently is the only public transportation avail able to the Nevada town. (The bus trip takes seven hours, makes only one trip daily from here, at p.m.) In his letter to Tucker. Morse declared: 'By working closely with you and my congressional colleagues, I have great hopes for a successful conclusion to this im portant case." Senator Neuberger said he had checked the office of Senator Bi ble (Nevada) and that it "would appear that Reno and Nevada in terests will also vigorously support tne request. Said Representative Ullman: I have been following this matter closely and I will do everything possible to assure favorable action by the CAB." -1-. Si v BITTEN WHILE SWIMMING SARASOTA. Fla.

Pair Granted Passports NEW YORK (AP)-Singer Paul Robeson and Professor Corliss Lamont Thursday received the passports they have been trying to oDiain lor years. Robeson, a Negro, has been try ing since 1950 to acquire the little green book necessary to go abroad. Lamont, lecturer at Co lumbia University, had been un successful since 1951. They were denied passports be cause ot rclusal to answer ques tions on their passport applica tions about Communist Party membership.
