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.

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

Klamath County Judge Charles
H. Mack has been named one of
two Oregon delegates to the In

Judge Rod Keating.
Eleven western states compose
the important group all interested
mutually in what happens to tea

At a recent State Land Commit
tee meeting in Portland, state of
Oregon officials agreed this
state's share of the interstate

S3.50O. Most of the other states will
put up considerably less to raise
a required 18,000, Dut uregon

Also at the State Public Land
Committee meeting, the group re

lands as part of termination should
be postponed until a proper study
of the complicated problem can
be accomplished.

Gen. S. E. 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

cision" on the date of the first shot had been made. Drawings above by NEA's John Lane

If the rockets miss, Anderson said, they may go into a strange, figure-eight orbit,

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."

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."

Jets Collide;
Pilots Safe
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) Two
Navy Crusader jets collided 42,-
000 feet above San Francisco Bay
Thursday, with the pilot of one
surving an eight-mile plunge into

wing of Burlingame's Crusader.
Burlineame said afterwards he
jettisoned himself from the spin
ning jet and tumbled at speeas
that nearly blacked him out until
his parachute opened about half
way down. He dropped into the
bay south of Alameda Naval Air
Station and was rescued minutci
later by a crash boat.
