Congress 10 Continue
Price Support Plan,
Patton Predicts
BY the Asseeioted Press

DENVER, Aug. flames Pat
ton, president Of the National
Farmers Union, predicted yes
terday that support prices equal
to at least 80 per cent of parity
will be continued and extended
by Congress next year.
He said in a radio interview
that alternative programs being
discussed would tend to develop
scarcity policy toward food, at
a time when full supplies can
we'll be used both in this nation
and abroad.
His organization favors 100
per cent price supports. Parity
is a price determined by law to
be fair to farmers in relation to
the cost of things they must buy.
Faced with a sharp drop in
their net income, Mr.. Patton
said farmers have cut down on
their buying and are expressing
growing concern over the agri-
cultural outlook.
He said Congress should es-
tablish a permanent farm pro-
gram with support prices for all
major crops based on 100 per
cent of parity. They should be
extended also to livestock rais-
ing, which he said is trying
to maintain stable production
in a very unstable market"
The Nation should work
toward an abundant food policy,
he said, both to eliminate hun
ger and malnutrition in this
country and to provide food
Surpluses for shipment abroad.
Shipments of food to Ger
many, Korea and India show
that its use can be made an i'm
portant part of foreign policy,
Mr.. Patton said.
The Government should seek
also, he said, to assure that
more of the money spent for
food goes to the farmers. The
farmers share of the food dol
lar has dropped from SIS to "A
per cent, he said, because Of
growing costs of marketing and
distribution.

Reply promptly to the queries

EXEC UTIVE DEVELOP
MENT PROGRAMS - The Gov
ernment's executive development
programs, which never have
been adequate enough to train
sufficient numbers of promising
Federal employees for executive
jobs, has been curtailed still
further by budget cuts this year.
The Civil Service Commission
and the various agencies never
have had enough money to op-
crate the executive development
programs on the scale they
would like. And this year, sharp
budget cuts have curtailed the
programs.

Rhee Is Confident
i. ). Will Resume
Fighting in Korea
BY The Asseeiaied Press

President Syngman Rhee of
South Korea said today he be-
lieves that if the Korean peace
talks fail "the United States will
resume the fight to accomplish
the common objective" of unity
ing his embattled country.
His statement, made in a
copyrighted interview with the
magazine U. S. News and World
Report, came in the wake of
one by Walter S. Robertson that
the United States has not
mapped out a specific course of
action if it becomes necessary
for the Americans to walk. out
of the peace talks.
Mr.. Robertson is the Assistant
Secretary of State, who. as per-
sonal representative of President
Eisenhower, persuaded Mr.. Rhee
not to obstruct the truce. He
agreed that this Government
will quit the peace talks in 90
days if it appears the Reds are
not negotiating in good faith.
Mr.. Robertson, in an NBC
television interview yesterday,
said the United States has not
agreed with Mr.. Rhee to help
him in resuning battle unless
the Communists break the peace
first.
Rhee Lists Demands.
Mr.. Rhee, in the magazine
interview. declared:
/. II believe the United States
will resume the fight in order
to accomplish the common OBJ
jective (of a unified Korea) be-
cause the United States honor
and future security will be at
stake. You know the United
States is honor bound to re-
unity Korea"
2. South Korea may leave the
peace talks in less time than 80
days ''if it is apparent the Com
munists have no intention of
agreeing to the fundamental re-
Quirement and merely intend to
use the conference for vicious
SANDER and propaganda"
3. IT have informed President
Eisenhower that under no cir
cumstances will we accept any
naturalization of Korea. All this
would mean would be that we
would have to lay down our
arms and see our friendly allies
withdraw, giving the Commu-
nists the chance to strike against
us at any time of their choice"

PeIIa and Cabinet
Take Over, End Italy, S
Crisis Temporarily
BY the Asseeiated Press

ROME, Aug. TIA new
cabinet of Christian Democrats
led by Giuseppe Pella was sworn
in today, giving Italy a breather
from political crisis.
President Luigi Einaudi ad-
ministered the oath to the ST.
year-old Premier, a financial
expert, in the presidential Office.
Other cabinet members were
sworn in in the neighboring Hall
Of the Madonna.
Missing from the lineup was
the dominant figure of postwar
Italian politics. eight-time Pre-
mier Alcide de Gasperi. Anx-
ious for a rest and also to avoid
controversy, he turned down the
foreign minister's portfolio in a
government which is committed
to make only an administrative
housecleaning and push no
major policy measures.
The new cabinet will go be-
fore the Chamber of Deputies
Wednesday. It seems certain to
win a vote of confidence. The
only parties pledged to vote
against it are the Communists
and Pietro Nenni's party-line
Socialists, who between them
control only 218 of 500 seats.
Mr.. Pella's new cabinet is
made up of veteran administra-
tors, all members of his own pro-
Western and middle of the road
Christian Democrat Party.
Mr.. Pella is known as a firm
friend of the United States and
a believer in the Atlantic AL
lance.
Casting a shadow over today's
ceremony was the fact Mr.. Pella
is taking the helm of govern
ment only temporarily and can
push no major policy measures.
Italy's pickering center parties
agreed to accept him on condi-
ton he remain Prime Minister
only long enough to pass a
budget and straighten out the
government.
Since Italian voters reduced
the center party majority in
Parliament to 16 votes last June,
Italy has had a cabinet for just
one 13-day period.
Mr.. Pella and his cabinet of
technicians are expected to gov
ern for about two months.
In the interim, political lead
ers will decide whether a per-
manent coalition government
can be formed or whether a new
general election is necessary.

Greek Islands Shaken
By New Tremors
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

ARGOSTOLION, Greece, Aug.
17-NeW earth tremors, includ-
ing one rated as a strong earth
quake, shook the stricken Ionian
Sea islands today as officials
estimated the toll from the
weeks devastation at some 600
dead and TOO seriously injured.
Fifteen new tremors were re-
corded during a 12-hour period
last night and today. They
heightened the islanders near
panieky desire to flee their
holmeiands, but otherwise could
make little difference on the
three islands practically leveled
by the past week of upheavals.
The new casualty estimates
came from the Argostolion head
quarters of Gen. Dimitrios Istri-
des, who is directing the Greek
rescue. work. Previously it was
feared more than 1000 persons
had been killed.
The new figures were based on
complete reports from the Island
of Ithaca and nearly complete
reports from the other two
stricken isles, Zante and Cepha-
lonia.
Three hundred of the badly
injured have been moved by
boat and plane to Athens. The
others have been hospitalized
in Patrai.
Fears of a typhoid outbreak
still hung over the devastated
area today, and one case of
smallpox had been found.
Naval ships of five nations
continued to pour in thousands
of tons of emergency supplies in
an effort to feed nearly 10000
hungry and mostly homeless is
landers. Sailors, soldiers and
marines from Greece, the United
States, Britain, Italy and New
Zealand worked side by side in
the gigantic rescue and relief
operation.

French Troops Keep
Uneasy Watch in
Riot-Torn Morocco
By the Assoeioted Press

CASABLANCA, Morocco, Aug.
17.-French soldiers and police
kept an uneasy watch over the
main cities of Morocco today,
seeking to avoid new outbreaks
of violence over religious lead
ership of the North African pro-
tectorate. Thirty-flve persons
died in bloody riots over the
week end.
The fighting followed a proc
lamation Saturday by some 800
Berber chieftains and the Pasha
of Marrakech, THANH ell Glaoui,
that the Sultan of Morocco, Sidi
Mohammed ben Youssef, no
longer was the religious leader
of the Moslem country.
They named as Iman-'leader
of the faithful"-the Sultan's
uncle. Moulay Moharnmed ben
Arafa. They backed down, how
ever, from a previous decision to
install him as the new Sultan.
The Sultans previously have
been considered both the tenn
poral and spiritual rulers of the
country.
The move against Sidi Mo-
hammed touched off riots in
Malrakech Saturday night which
claimed seven lives.
Sixteen more deaths were re-
ported from Oujda, Eastern Mo-
rocco. yesterday and IL from
Casablanca. A curfew was in
stalled in Oujda, and communi-
cation by telephone and tele-
graph was cut off.
All the demonstrations ap-
parently were set off by sup
porters of the Nationalist
minded Sultan. Trouble de-
veloped when the police tried to
intervene.
The Sultan lashed back at Ell
Glaoui yesterday. In a COM
munique, he proclaimed himself
the "only Sovereign of Morocco
and its only spiritual chief"
He claimed separation of tenn
poral and spiritual power was
contrary to ISlamic law.

Wide Gains Claimed
Under COP. Rule by
Senator knowIand

Senate Majority Leader Know
land today issued a formal re-
view of Republican achievements
during the first session of the
Eighty-Third Congress. 1t began
like this:
"In a little more than seven
months, the Republican admin
istration ended the fighting in
Korea, reversed the 20-year trend
toward Capitalization of power in
the Federal Government, abol-
iShed unnecessary economic con-
trolls. cut nearly $13 billion from
the Truman 1854 budget esti-
mates, and justified the peoples
confidence by restoring honesty
in Government"
Senator Knowland's review ap-
peared in an appendix to the
Congressional Record. It was
quite different from a Demo-
cratic review of the Republican
progra missued several weeks ago
by House Democratic Leader
Rayburn Of Texas.
According to Senator Know
land, who has frequently op-
posed administration actions in
Korea in his capacity as indi-
vidual Senator, "the aggressor
has been blocked, collective Sc
curity has taken its first al
though feeble steps; the flag of
free government still flies in
Korea, lives will be spared, and
the truce transfers a settlement
from the battlefield to the coun-
Gil table. These are positive
gains although they are not all
the free world has hoped for"
In foreign aid. Senator Know
land promised that Americans
can look to an end of this drain
on their pocketbooks." He said
Congress made the programs
more effective. less costly, and
planned for their termination.
He hailed extension of the trade
agreements program and the
international wheat agreement.
He noted that Congress made
food available to East Germany
and Pakistan and expanded i'm
migration quotas to permit entry
Of more refugees from behind the
Iron Curtain. And he praised
Congressional action in going on
record in favor of the unification
of Germany and against the ad-
mission of Red China to the
United Nations.
Domestically, the California
Republican said, the Republican
Congress acted decisively to pre-
vent the huge military budget
from conquering the treasury
and bankrupting the Nation"
New methods were urgently
needed to get more real defense
for less dollars" he asserted.
Congress, in cooperation with
the President, provided them.
New men of proved business ex-
perience and courage were placed
in top posts. New chiefs of staff
were picked to plan and CO.
ordinate our global operations.
The Defense Department was
reorganized. Policies were
changed to guarantee a sus-
tained buildup of real strength
in place of paper quotas, phan-
tom guns, illusory target dates
or fancied crises"
Fat Trimmed, He Says.
The Senator said "only the
fat, the waste and the plush in
the huge military budget were
lost in the squeeze" when Con-
gress trimmed $6.8 billion from
the original defense appropria-
tion proposed by outgoing Presi-
dent Truman last January.
