C02P. SPA?ER SSCriON , GEN.REF.AND DOCUMEJiTS DIV. tuoEjiE.oaeo. la The- Day's lews r fr rt i i 5 t ' i f I V " I By FRANK JENKINS President Eisenhower tells the congress in a special message that he doesn't think the agriculture programs under which we have been operating since the end of the war are working as they were Intended to. He says they unduly favor the big producers. They are EXCES SIVELY expensive. Continuation of them in their present form, he adds, would be intolerable. So, he thinks, they ought to be changed, and he asks the congress 10 cnange tnem. What he really means is that the (arm programs of the past dec ade have resulted in the accumu lation of vast surpluses that hang over the markets of the future like a dark thundercloud. He offers wheat as an example. "We already hold such huge stocks of wheat," he says in his mes sage, "that if not one bushel of the oncoming crop were harvested we would still have more than enough wheat for domestic use. export sales, foreign donation and neeaea carryover for an entire year. To this Senator Dirksen of Illi nois, GOP leader in the senate. adds: "The President's program makes sense. In following the price support course of taking over farm products which the free mar ket will not absorb we have stacked up surpluses costing 10'i billion dollars by next year. That is a staggering sum. - To this. Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, another top GOP leader, adds that "prompt action along the lines recommend ed by the President (that is, RE DUCING the subsidies and thus removing the incentive to OVER PRODUCE) would put an end to having to hope for CROP FAIL URES in order to keep the budget in balance and would bring most welcome relief to all CONSUM - That outlines fairly clearly what apparently has been determined upon as the official Republican po sition on farm legislation. What it , the Democratic pro gram? It hasn't been clearly outlined as yet, but a Washington disptach this morning says: "Key Demo crats today are drafting a new farm plan which President Eisen hower has promised to oppose. "The Democratic plan would en able the government to stop prop ping market prices for basic crops and would instead TAP THE TREASURY FOR DIRECT PAY MENTS to growers." The dispatch goes on: "The new plan on which Influen tial Democrats senators are working is a sharply revised version of the so-called Brannan plan. Back in 1949, Former Secre tary of Agriculture Charles Bran- nan proposed direct subsidy pay ments fan perishable products which can t be stored. . "In contrast, the new plan being drafted by the Democratic sena- tors would provide direct subsi I dies of storable crops. Backers contend this would eliminate the piling up of government-held sur pluses and heary storage costs How would it work? - Well, presumably the govern ment would say to the farmer: "How much of such and such a .crop do you plan to grow? The farmer would tell the gov- (Anient what he had it in mind to produce. The government would then (presumably! say to him: i DON T GROW IT. Instead, we'll pay you for it in cash now and you can sit back and take life easy. That's a slightly cynical analy sis of the proposal, but it's reason ably accurate outline of the basic purpose of the Brannan plan TO ENTER FAIR LUXEMBOURG (UP1) - The European coal and steel commu nity's high authority has decided to participate in the New York International Trade r air May - 19. It was also announced that the six-nation European groups Euromarket and Euratom also would participate.

Hmw snows fell along the Up per Mississippi Valley and extend ed into the Great Lakes region, Wisconsin and Michigan, three inches of new snow hit Lone Rock Wis., and Grand Rapids, Mich., Thursday night and drifted over a wide area under high winas. Temperatures dropped more than 20 degrees in such widely separated communities as Trini day, Colo., Grand Island, Neb., and Sioux City, lowa, ranging from 10 above zero to 10 below. Meanwhile, gulf air on the oth er side of the front to the east sent readings into the 50s and 60s in Pennsylvania ana wesi Virgin ia. Above-freezing' temperatures were reported as far north as New England. IGNORE ANNIVERSARY FRANKFURT. Germany (UPI) Twenty-six , years ago today Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany and the Third Reich was born. The anniversary was ignored by the German people. HAVANA (AP) Further trials of Batista officers are under way in Santiago de Cuba, capital of easternmost Oriente Province. Army Lt. Vicente Ruiz was sen tenced to death there Thursday. War crimes trials resume in Havana today after a three-day break. The names of those to face the military courts in Havana have not been disclosed, but they were believed to be lesser offenders. Two tribunals were planned in the capital, one at La Cabana mil itary fortress where most of those under arrest are confined, and the other at the Camp Columbia army headquarters. The Supreme Revolutionary Tribunal also meets late today to rule on the appeal of former army Capt. Pedro Morejon from the death sentence given him at Camp Columbia earlier this week. The appeal of former Maj. Jesus Sosa Blanco, condemned to death last week in a showcase trial In Havana's Sports Palace, is still pending before the tribunal. The government announced that it had not completed the case against ex-Lt. Col. Kicardo Luis Grao, former commander at Ba yamo in Oriente Province who was to have been" tried after Sosa Blanco and Morejon as a major war criminal. Trials also were resumed Thurs day at Matanzas, capital of Mat- anzas Province. A Roman Calno- lic priest, Father Domingo Loren zo, is acting as defense attorney there for three noncommissioned officers accused of murder and torture. Smog Clouds Roll Across Great Britain LONDON (API Choking clouds of frightening smog lifted slightly from London today but still rolled their poisonous way across the rest of Britain. Londoners hoped that the break meant there would be no repeti tion of the "yellow death" smog that killed 12,000 persons in Bri tain in 1952. Enough fog was left, however. to slow all road and rail trail ic The capital's airport, 20 miles from the city center, waa com pletely closed in. Dense smog settled on niancnes- ter, metropolis of the north. But a quick break in the Western ap proaches gave ships the chance to run tor Welsh ports. Government scientists warned that the concentration of smoke and poisonous fumes in the fog already is worse than on the first day of the killer smog in Decem ber. 1952. Weather experts predicted no early break in the fog belt stretch ing from the Yorkshire moors to the south coast. Hourly readings on automatic measuring devices tended to get worse. The poison content of the fog gradually built up as the black shroud trapped smoke and other fumes which normally would rise away from the public s breath space. Householders were asked to cut down on coal fires to re duce the smoke. The peak of the 1952 smog was reached after four days. In Lon don alone 4.000 persons died, mostly because of sulphur fumes from factory chimneys. Ninety per cent of the victims then were older than 45 and al ready had heart or chest ail ments. Generally, healthy people suffered only minor throat irrita tions. Doctors warned today that old persons and patients should -re main indoors. If you do go out. wear a mask or cover your mouth with a scarf, one advised. Deadend Seen For Ike Slate Evidence Proves Guilt, Says SF Sedition Judge SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) - A federal judge said Thursday that evidence to date was "sufficient to sustain a verdict of guilty un der the treason statute" against three Americans charged with se dition. But Judge Louis Goodman said evidence of treason "is simply not admissible" because the- defen dants were not charged with treason. The defendants are John W. Powell, 39; his wife, Sylvia, 38; and Julian Schuman, 38, who was associate editor on the Powell's China Monthly Review, which was published in Shanghai during the Korean War. . Goodman upheld defense objec tions to testimony from former American priosoners about distri bution and the use of the Powell magazine in Communist prison camps. ' U. S. Attorney Robert H. Sch nacke argued that "treasonous acts bear on the intent" of the defendants. Conviction of treason carries the death Denallv.

Klamath Falls, on April 1. 1959. "This unit will be equipped with F-I01 aircraft and will have a strength of 210 personnel," the message stated. The senator's office Indicated lis assumption that the new squadron will be in addition to the 408th Fighter Group at Kingsley Field.

The defendants were charged with publishing seditious lies in their magazine which aided the Communists and hampered the Americans during the Korean struggle. During Thursdays session, the prosecution called Lt. Col. Carl E. Kopischkie, Chippewa Falls. Wis. Although a former prisoner of war, Kopischkie was called a troop commander for his opinion on the effects of the magazine on troops within the U. S. Kopischkie said the magazine, by publishing false germ warfare reports and "belittling everything the United States stood for since its beginning." was extremely harmful to troop morale. M.Sgt. Frank Wambeke. an Ar my recruiter from Oakland, was called by the prosecution to sup port its charge that lies printed in the Powell magazine hampered the recruiting program in the U. S. Wambeke said he was certain many parents would have refused In let their sons enlist if they be lieved tales ptinted In the magazine. WASHINGTON (AP) Presi dent Eisenhower's program to curb farm surpluses and reduce tax-supported agricultural subsid ies faced today a seeming dead end future in Congress. This was the consensus of con gressional reaction to the Presi dent's special farm message Thursday. It presaged two more years of bitter congressional in fighting over farm policy. It also raised tne possiDiniy that Democrats, now in tophcavy control of Congress, would invite another presidential veto with a far stronger program than would be acceptable to the administration. Secretary of Agriculture Benson told a news conference the ad ministration will not send Con gress a bill to carry out its rec ommendations but would be ready to help Congress draft legislation. That nut the burden of deciding on changes pretty much up to congress useii. The President s message, in the most general terms, laid its chief emphasis on the point that the fjve - billion-dollar-a-year agricul tural program has not worked Outage Slows Local Clocks Residents of Klamath Falls who live on the Main Street No. 1 cir cuit of California- Oregon Power Company awoke this morning to find their clocks 30 minutes slow. At 11:27 p.m. yesterday, Copco crews were completing the switch over schedule to do the last part of the river crossing work re quired for Ihe west side bypass This, according to Truman Run- yan, assistant manager here for Copco, required just about one minute. While the crews were still on the job, a "dead end" broke on the Main Street No. 1 circuit. There was a direct ground and a flash as the big porcelain disc on a pole down near Link River shattered. A Copco crewman was standing near the pole when it happened so the cause of the trouble was known and repairs could be started at once. Runyan explained that the 30 minute outage, which affected the Main Street circuit, was in no way related to the switchover work being done for the bypass. The trouble was on a 12.000-volt circuit and it is assumed that the storm and freezing weather had produced a minute crack in the disc. Atmospheric conditions be came just right at that moment lor it to burst into pieces.

Mexico Ired By Guatemala Border Foray MEXICO CITY (AP) Hostility toward neighboring Guatemala mounted in Mexico today, fired by a report that Guatemalan demon strators had destroyed a border bridge and Guatemalan planes had flown over a Mexican city in the southern area. Guatemalan police in (urn charged that 20 armed Mexicans had crossed the border Thursday and plundered the village of Santa Ana. Mexico's government Party of Revolutionary Institutions called on half a million persons to as semble in Mexico City Sunday be fore the Presidential Palace to demonstrate support for President Adolfo Lopez Matcos. Lopez Mateos broke diplomatic relations with Guatemala last week after President Miguel Ydi- goras ruenles had rejected a Mex ican protest against the strafing of Mexican fishing boats. Three lishcrmcn were killed. Guatemala claimed they were trespassing. Several thousand residents held a meeting to back Lopez Mateos Thursday night in Acapulco, a major fishing port as well as re sort on the west coast. Reports from Tapachula, largest Mexican city on the 500 mile border and military head quarters for the district, said a spontaneous demonstration on the Guatemalan side of the Suchiate River had got out of control Thursday. It resulted in destruc tion of the bridge linking Ayiitla, Guatemala, with Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico, the reports said. Tapachula also reported that a squadron of Guatemalan air force planes had flown overhead several times Thursday. Guatemala has complained to the United Nations and two inter- American organizations that Mex ico is concentrating troops in the coastal border area, "threatening the peace and security of this region.

The National Safety Council, re porting today on motor vehicle accidents said it estimates that 1,300,000 persons suffered crip pling traffic injuries. The cost, including property de struction. wage loss, medical ex pense and overhead cost of insur ance. was put at S5.400.000.0O0. "When you think of the price we are still paying for highway accidents in life and limb and money," the council commented "there is little cause for compla cency or satisfaction over the re duction of the death toll. Red Moonshot Was Success WASHINGTON (API-Directors of the nation's civilian space ef forts said today the Soviet Lunik, or moonshot, was a success. Three experts of the National Aeronautic and Space Agency tes tified the moon shot showed pow erfui thrust and a good system of guidance. Dr. Homer Stewart, a nasa planner, said the same guidance system could direct an intercon tinental ballistic missile more than 5.000 miles to a target with an error of less than 5 to 20 miles. Questions by the Senate space and preparedness groups inquir ing into military might indicated that the Soviets remain ahead in the race for outer space. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson D- Tex), chairman of both the space and preparedness group, recount ed the series of spectacular So viet successes with satellites and (hen said: "This committee wants to know where we now stand. When can the American people expect to catch up with the Kus sians?" Dr. T. Keith Glennan. adminis trator. of NASA, accompanied by Stewart and Dr. William H. Pick ering. director of NASA's jet propulsion laboratory, answered questions about the Soviet moon shot. Glennan said it proved that the Russians have substantially more thrust or power for satellites and missiles than this country had developed. Integration Cases Begin BALTIMORE AP)-"We've got! a doublchcader today, smiled Judge Simon E. Sobeloff to report ers as he prepared to tackle two school integration cases. To those who didn't know the neat, precise, professorial looking federal jurist, the gentle wise crack might have been an eye-opener. The remark, which he made prior to hearing the Charlottes ville and Arlington, Va. school cases Thursday was indicative of a strong, subtle stream of humor which Sobeloff reveals off the bench. But the tanned, dark-cyed judge brings a studious approach to the school integration cases which have come before him and other jurists of the U.S. 4th Dist. Court of Appeals. . . His ruling in favor of a longer breathing spell before Charlottes ville schools are integrated was indicative of his philosophy that the spirit of the law is not to be subordinated to the letter of the law. The school board, he concluded "should be assisted in its determ ination to move within the frame and spirit of the court's decree. Science Asks Space 'Scope PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) A space telescope, orbiting in a 350- pound satellite package, could pro duce a four color map of the en tire sky as it appears beyond the blindfold of the earth's atmos phere. .Three Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory scientists, detailing today their telescope satellite pro posal, declared: "There is no limit to the pos sible discoveries to be made through studies of the celestial ultraviolet spectrum if we could bring it within reach of our lab oratories. "Two or' three years from now," they predicted, -"such a telescope will give us our first good set of utraviolet maps of the sky." The project drafters are K. J. Davis, C. A.- Whitney, and Dr. F. L. Whipple, director of the ob servatory at Cambridge, Mass. They published the plan in the first issue of the Astronautical Sci ence Review, launched here as the scientific journal of the American Astronautical Society. Norman V.

McClellan (D-Ark), said (estimony of other witnesses would hi heard anyhow, with Johson to be given a chance to reply later Comm ttee Counsel Robert r . Kennedy said the inquiry would center upon two points: 1. Testimony last year that Johnson had received $30,000 from the Yonkers, N.Y. Raceway, trotting horse race track, as Drice for labor peace. 2. Johnson's alleged business re lations with Phil Weiss, whom Kennedy has described in hearings as a notorious New York labor racketeer. Red Congress Plans Purge MOSCOW (UPI)-The 21st con gress of the Soviet Communist Party appeared ready today to crack down on the former gov ernment leaders accused of plot ting against the policies of Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev. The so-called "anti-party group" are former Premiers Vyacheslav M. Molotov, Nikolai Bulganin and Gcorgi Malenkov, former Foreign Minister Dmitri Shepilov and La- zar Kaganovich, former Presidi um member. In addition, the congress was expected to take up the so-called "Leningrad case" which involved party intrigue and executions of several party leaders in 1949. Mal enkov has been linked with this group. The "ami party group de nounced originally by Khrushchev has been under heavy fire in the Soviet press for days. Thursday the head of the Leningrad Com munist party demanded they be brought in for an accounting. Elder Solon Plans To Quit WASHINGTON (AP) - Ninety- one-year-old Sen. Theodore Fran cis Green (D-RI) today submitted his resignation as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relationi Commit tee. He gave failing eyesight and hearing as his reason. Green wrote Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon Johnson of Texas that "while I have the physical stamina to carry on as chairman, 1 am forced to conclude that it will, be a long while before my eyesight has been fully restored and this handicap removed." The Providence (R.I.) Journal had called editorially Thursday for Green to step down. The edi torial said it believed Green lacked the physical strength and was too old to hold the important post at this time. Green s letter to Johnson said 'as we both well know, my deci sion to resign is not based upon misleading newspaper articles or slanted editorials by a few callous newspaper writers. Green underwent an eye opera tion at Lankenau Hospital in Phil adelphia last fall for the removal of a cataract.
