Witness Against Actress
Denied Citizenship Plea
BY the Assoeiassd Press

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 18.-
The citizenship petition Of Nick
Gianaclis. former, restaurant
man on whose testimony actress
Madge Meredith was sentenced
to two years in prison. has been
rejected by the Federal court.
Dismissal of the petition was
requested by the United States
immigration Service on the
ground that Gianaclis, Greek,
had not established proof of
good moral character. Gianaclis
was not in court.
Miss Meredith, who was con-
victed in 1947 of the beating
and kidnapping of Gianaclis, was
released from prison when Gov.
Earl Warren commuted her
sentence after many prominent
Hollywood personalities came to
her defense.
United States Judge William
M. Byrne ordered Monday that
the findings of immigration
officers. including charge that
there was shocking evidence of
false testimony" in Gianaclis'
evidence against Miss Meredith,
be made part Of the record.

Farmers Favor
Price Supports
In Depression

A substantial majority of Iowa
and Illinois farmers would favor
government price supports of cat
tie and hogs in periods of depres-
sion, but under existing economic
conditions they lean away from
such aid, a sampling of opinions in
this livestock producing area, re-
Veals.
On the question of the govern
ment continuing supports of feed
grains at the time the survey was
conducted in April, those inter-
viewed were about evenly divid-
ed, survey tabulations show. Far
mers in the area, however, voiced
strong favor of these supports dur
ing periods of depression.
Farmers in both states want
livestock prices supported when
the government is supporting feed
grain prices.
The opinion data were collected
in personal interviews with 588

Amendment provides that these
bonds shall be secured by a
pledge of moneys derived from
fees, excises or license taxes levied
BY the State of Ohio, relating to
registration, operation, or use of
vehicles on public highways, or to
fuels used for propelling such We
hicles, and a sufficient amount
thereof shall be set aside c h
year, before any other distribu-
ton is made, to pay the interest
on the outstanding debt and prin-
cipal of such debt becoming due
in that year"
Thus in effect the possible con-
fiscating of highway-user revenue
from the counties, municipalities,
and townships to pay for projects
constructed on the State Highway
System.
2. The amendment provides that
all the revenue from the bonds
must be spent on major thorough
fares and reduces the amount of
revenue available for the remain
der of the State Highway Sys-
tenn.
The income derived from the
S5OO,OOO,000 may be spent to pur-
chase rights of way and for con-
struCtion and reconstruction OF
highways on the major thorough
fares portion of the State High
way System and for no other pur-
pose. The cost of surveys, plans,
supervision and inspection must
be borne by the State Highway
Department and paid for out of
other funds, thus reducing the
funds available to the State High
way Department for the regular
functions of construction and
maintenance on the rest OF the
State Highway System. The man.
datory mileage of major thorough
fares under the law must include
the Interstate Highway System
which consists of 1927 miles. This
concentration of the expenditure
of this HALF BILLION DOLLAR
D bond revenue in a few counties
will be at the. expense of the

farmers scientifically selected by
the statistical laboratory of Iowa
State College in the area covering
the entire state of Iowa and the
northern three-fifths of Illinois.
The data represents one phase of
a comprehensive study of farmers
marketing activities conducted by
Iowa State College and the Uni
versity of Illinois, financed by a
grant from the Chicago Union
Stock Yard and Transit Company.
At the time the survey was con-
Quoted in April, SO per cent of
those interviewed said they favor
ed support of cattle prices in times
of unfavorable price levels. At
that time, 35 per cent of farmers
thought cattle prices should be
supported, SIS per cent were oppos-
ed, and 10 per cent were undecid-
ed. Cattle were selling at about so
per cent of parity when the inter-
views were taken.
To the question of government
support of hog prices, SO per cent
said they would favor it should
hog prices drop to unfavorable
levels. On the question of hog sup
ports at the time of the survey, 81
per cent were opposed, 80 per cent
favored, and 9 per cent were un-
decided. Hogs then were selling at
102 per cent of parity, and prices
had been rising steadily for near
ly three months.
p Questioned on supports of feed
grains, 63 per cent look favorably
on government aid when prices
are depressed, with only 30 per
cent opposed, and 7 per cent unde-
cided. Under conditions prevailing
