Rodent Control
Starts Nov. 5

This is the season for rats and
mice to migrate from the fields
into farm buildings, according to
John Moore, County Agricultural
Agent. All farmers are asked to
cooperate in the Countrywide rod
ent control program, starting No
vember 5.
If warfarin bait is used, it should
be made available to the rats for
at least two weeks following No
vember 5th. Rats migrate from
farm to farm so it is important
that all farmers and village dwell
lers bait at the same time.
The rat population in the United
States is about the same as hum
an population. However, rats differ
from people in their choice be-
tween urban and farm residence.
Three-fourths of the rats live on
the farms. Although nearly all
farms have some rodents, farmers
may not suspect it because rats
come out of hiding to eat only at
night.
Female rats bear from 6 to %
in a litter and has six litters a
year. 1t is estimated that one rat
will destroy $500 worth of feed.
This magnifies the Importance of
cooperating in the rat campaign.

denied that he is simply carrying

Further, Mr.. Hartman spoke
out strongly for the civil rights

Concerning the steel crisis, he
said, THANK God we had a man

steel mills running"
He had no compunctions against
Gen. Eisenhower for the presi-
dency, Mr.. Hartman said, even if
their viewpoints on the United
States role in world affairs is
much the same.
MY fear is that Gen. Eisen-
hover has people around him who
believe in a little America and
have not much faith in our future, "
he said.

JACKSON, Mich, May 5.-As-

Fox's hotly debated speech con-
graduating convicts on ending a
flve-day rebellion at Southern
Michigan prison was dictated by
the mutineers themselves. This
dramatically came to light last
night.
DR.. Fox was pledged to deliver
the. speech and to keep it's source
a secret. That was part of a
trade through which the mu-
tineers freed eight hostage guards
and surrendered April "a, instead
of April Is. as they had agreed
previously.
Mutiny Leader Earl Ward re-
leased DR.. Fox, since relieved as
assistant deputy warden and
prison psychologist. of his pledge
OF secrecy yesterday.
DR.. Fox confirmed Wards die
tation, his demand for delivery of
it over the prisons loudspeaker
system and q pledge of secrecy.
He said: God, I wouldn't con-

Prepared to Storm Block.
The 36-year -old psychologist
said he bowed to Wards demands
in return for the convict moving

that State troopers were prepar-

Democrats Hopeful
Of Barring New Aid
SIashes in Senate
By J. A. O'Leor

Democratic leaders believe they
will be able to block further cuts
in the $6.9 billion foreign aid bill
in the Senate this week.
What will happen in the House
and later in the Appropriations
Committees Of both houses is less
certain.
Chairman Connally of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
will make the opening speech to-
day in what may be his last major
battle for administration foreign
policy. Senator Connally an
nounced recently he will retire at
the end Of this session.
AS the floor debate started the
committee made public testimony
in which Gen. Eisenhower was
represented as believing it would
not be economically feasible for
the Western powers to match
Russia division for division.
Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, Chief
OF Staff to the NATO COM
mander, testified that Gen. Eisen-
hower's philosophy for deterring
Russian aggression into Western
Europe is to have a small active
force, with an effective reserve.
In the hearings released today
Senator Lodge, Republican of
Massachusetts. made the point
that the United States gets more
defense for the military aid money
it spends in Europe than the same
amount would give in this country.
The Senator asked if it is not
true that by spending Sc billion
in Europe I'VE are getting about
the same number of men as we
would pay more than $50 billion
for in the United States"
Gen. Gruenther said he did not
know the figures, but agreed the
ratio is about that wide.
Although the Foreign Relations
Committee cut ST. billion from the
bill before reporting it, Republi-
cans are expected to propose fur
ther reductions on the floor today
or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the House Foreign
Affairs Committee may decide
early this week how much it will
trim from the Presidents original
request for $7.9 billion.

Support Of Kefauver
By Pepper Becomes
Key Factorin Florida
By the Assoeiafed Press

MIAMI. Fla, May 5.-The po-
litical influence Of former Sena-
tor Pepper became the great un-
known factor today in the out
come of the Democratic presiden-
tial popularity contest tomorrow
between Senator Kefauver of Ten
nessee and Senator Russell of
Georgia.
Mr.. Pepper-a one-time New
Deal and Fair Deal key man
threw his support to Senator Ke-
fauver yesterday in a last-round
move that brought bitter criticism
from the Russell camp.
Senator Russell accused Mr..
Pepper Of working both sides of
the street" by supporting Senator
Kefauver in the preferential pri-
mary while backing Russell dele
gate candidates for the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
The Pepper maneuver came in
the closing hours of the Kevauver-
Russell campaign when both cam
didates were moving into Dade
(MiamD County to make their
final bids for votes.
Russell Is FavOrite.
Senator Russell was the favor
ite in Florida's first presidential
preferential primary in 20 years.
But Kefauver hackers were hope
full Mr.. Peppers support might
tip the scales on the side of the
TenneSSean. @
Both candidates scheduled last
minute speaking tours in the
Miami area today and they were
slated to meet tonight at 10 pm.

A record vote was predicted to-
morrow because of high interest
in the presidential race and local
contests. The polls will open at
Is am. and close at 8 pm.

Pepper Influence Conceded.
MIR. Pepper was defeated for re-
nomination to the Senate two
years ago by Senator Smathers.
But Floridians concede he still

He's Backing Taft at
Urging Of Macarthur

1t. Gen. Albert c. Wedemeyer

role in the presidential campaign

The retired officer told a news

he was not authorized to state

understood, adding that he was

by proper authority but that he
left voluntarily without bitterness
He said the questions put him ir
an embarrassing position and that

Kefauver Could Offset
Possible Florida Loss
With Victory in Ohio
BY fhe Associafed Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May s.
Senator Kefauver of Tennessee,
an entrant in three primaries this
week, may be making one of his
most important bids for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination in
tomorrow's Ohio balloting.
On the success of Senator Ke-
fauver'S efforts to win 81 of Ohio's
81 convention votes-he already
has one by default-may hinge
control of this States powerful
delegation to the Chicago conven-
ton.
He hasn't entered a full dele
gate slate against the party Or
ganization, which seeks to elect
q 53-vote group pledged for hold
ing purposes to former Senator
Bulkley of Ohio.
If he could put Ohio in his vest
pocket, the crime-busting Ten
neSSeean could shrug off a pos
Sible loss to Senator Russell of
Georgia in the Florida popularity
primary.
Ia Million to Vote.
Ohio's balloting is expected to
attract about 100000 Republicans
and 100000 Democrats to the
polls.
Senator Taft of Ohio appears
assured of most of the States Sc
Republican nominating votes in
a strictly delegate-selecting affair
where there is no popularity con-
test and where write-inS are
barred.
Former Gov. Harold E. Stassen
Of Minnesota, Intellectual in most
other primaries, is contesting for
47 delegates places. He might get
support from some hackers of
Gen. Eisenhower but figures to
elect few delegates.
Two candidates who have said
unoficially they will back Gen.
Eisenhower are running in district
races, where As delegates will be
chosen. Ten will be named at
large in a Statewide race.
Party Fight Is Possible.
Senator Kefauver's largely alb
sentee battle for Democratic dele
gates may involve control of the
party machinery in Ohio with a
possibility that a substantial ma
jority of the States vote might
60 to him at the Chicago con-
Vention.
Any such bloc would make it
more difficult for some national
party leaders who are working
against him to stop the Tennes-
scans drive for the nomination.
Election of a substantial num-
ber of delegates apparently would
put Senator Kefauver in a posi-
ton to deal either with Gov. Frank
J. Lausche or Ray T. Miller, Cleve-
land Democratic leader, to set up
q new party alignment favorable
to the Senator's presidential can
didacy.
Mr.. Miller, who doesn't get along
too well politically with the Gov
ernor, is credited with an active
effort in putting the Bulkley slate
into the field, partly to forestall
any "favorite son" movement to-
ward Gov. Lausche.
The Bulkley slate has some
well-known Democrats running on
it. including Secretary of Com
merce Sawyer, Mayor Thomas A.
Burke Of Cleveland, former SEN
ator James w. Huffman, Jacob
Kroll Of the CIO Political Action
Committee. Philip P. Hannah of
