Food Subsidy System
Termed Shell Game
by Senator BushfieId
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bushfield, Republican, of
South Dakota, has called the ad-
ministration's food subsidy program
"a shell game in our national Gov
ernment" and urged its defeat by a
vote so overwhelming that subsidy
advocates will understand there is
no compromise"
He asked the Senate yesterday to
remove Government controls from
all food, in fresh attack on the
administrations policy of paying
professors cash subsidies to keep
retail prices down.
A group Of Senators is seeking
grounds for compromise In the
subsidy dispute.
For II years the President has
met every problem presented to him
during his administration with one
unfailing formula: Spend more
money" Senator Bushfield said in
a Senate speech. That is his an
swer to every problem. That is his
answer today. -
Discounting administration de-
clarations that imitation will attend
the end of subsidies, Senator Bush
field termed the whole program "a
shell game" in which "the pitchman
is a clever operator"
THE American people in this par
ticular shell game are the suckers"
he said.
There is only one solution to this
confusion and threatened famine"
he said, land that is to remove all
regulation on food production. Let
the age-old law of supply and de-
mand take its course. Hoarding
will cease. Black markets will dis
appear. We will get rid of an un-
wanted and unnecessary army of
Government employees and our sup
ply Of food will be ample for all pur-
poSes."

'N.Year Term Severe
For 'Indiscretion,
Wilkinson Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTA ANA, Calf, June "A
Convicted by Army general court
martial on specifications alleging
statutory assault, three other morals
offenses, bigamy and larceny, Capt.
Morrison j. Wilkinson, jr., today
had this to say to newsmen of his
sentence to 30 years imprisonment
at hard labor:
Pretty severe, think, for a slight
indiscretion."
Capt. Wilkinson also was or
dered dismissed from the service.
He was acquitted on four other
morals counts by the court. panel of
10 superior officers which reached
its verdict last night after deliberat-
ing an hour and IS minutes.
The 28-year-old flyer is confined
to Jail pending review of the
seven-day trials evidence by re-
gional and Washington military
authorities and by the President,
expected to require several weeks.
Hears Verdict Calmly.
Conviction on either of two fore
ible assault charges automatically
would have carried the death penal
ty or life imprisonment, under mill
tary law.
With stony calm, Wilkinson heard
the verdict and, a moment later, the
click of handouts on his wrists. But
he appeared morose after he had
been led from the courtroom.
In closing arguments, Maj. James
D. Garibaldi, trial judge advocate,
pictured Wilkinson as disgrace to
the Army, man who violated his
oath to the Army and his word as
a gentleman"
Maj. Garibaldi then assaiied Will
kinson's background:
From the very start, Wilkinson
showed he had absolutely no regard
for his marital status. He aban-
doned a child by his first marriage
without support. He left his second
wife after one day of marriage, and
after he had married Margaret Con-
zales Zone of the complainants) he
proposed marriage to his second wife
again.
Defense Calls Evidence Flimsy.
while he was still married to
Margaret" Maj. Garibaldi continued,
"he wed Rennie Murphy, the mother
of his child born May 20 of this year.
His claim that he did not know the
meaning of the word interlocutory,
and that he thought he was free to
marry at once when that decree was
granted Ito Margaret Gonzales), Is
absolutely ridiculous"
Maj. Jesse c. Duvall, chief defense
counsel, argued that Wilkinson had
been prosecuted on the "f1imsiest
kind of evidence, some Of 1t given
very reluctantly"
