Emergency HaYIift

being made but would not be
carried out unless ordered by
President Eisenhower.

Senator Symington. Democrat,
of Missouri, and former Secre-
tary of the Air Force, and Repre-
sentative Short, Republican, of
Missouri, and chairman of the
House Armed Services Commit
tee. advanced the plan to the
Air Department.
1t was not known whether
they had taken it up with the
President but no orders have yet
been received from the White
House.
The hay would be hauled from
Minnesota and South Dakota.
Although some other areas are
equally hard hit, the Air Force
is not making any plans for
carrying hay elsewhere for the
simple reason that the Missouri
lawmakers are the only ones who
have requested it, it was said.
1t would not be the first time
the air arm has been involved
in such an operation.
In February, 1949, the Ali
Force conducted Operation Hay

On the immediate program,
the Governors unanimously

extent of their ability, should
participate in the program for
procurement and distribution of
hay for emergency relief" The
extent of this participation is to
be determined by the individual

Gov. Thornton said in this
connection that some of the
States are in good shape for a
Joint plan. Others are not. 1t

Merl Young Slated
To Testify Today
AT Perjury Trial

E. Merl Young was scheduled
to take the witness stand today
in the U. s. District Court for
the District Of Columbia to de-
fend himself from charges he
perjured himself in testimony
before a Senate Banking sub
committee and a Federal grand
jury.
The Government rested its
case yesterday. and the defense
tookover.
Harvey j. Gunderson, a former
member of the Reconstruction
Finance Corps board of di-
rectors. was called as defense
witness. He testified that, so
far as he knew, Young never
had anything to do with loan
applications made by Lustron,
a prefabricated housing cor
poration and a heavy RFC bor-
rover.
One of the charges against
Young is that he lied when he
told the subcommittee he never
had anything to do with Lustron
loan applications.
Signed Review Report.
But Mr.. Gunderson did say
Young was among signers Of
an RFC review board report on
a Lustron loan application, which
was forwarded to the board of
directors.
The witness said that. while
1t was unusual for examiners to
sign loan review reports, the sug-
gestlon was made that Morton
Mccartney, then chief of the of
nee OF loan personnel, and Young
be asked to sign.
Mr.. GunderSon testified the
board Of directors had agreed
informally to grant the loan but
ne said he could not say whether
this was done before or after
Young had signed.
Earlier, three character wit
neSSes testified Young had a good
reputation for truth and veracity.
$4,000 Debt Cited.
One Of the witnesses. William
Sottlle, a Homestead ella }
farmer, testified Young owes
$4,000 to a Homestead bank, of
which Mr.. Sottile is a director.
He said the loan was secured by
property valued at $15O,OOO. The
defendant owes $4,000 to an
other savings institution, he
said. Young now operates a
motel in Florida.
Defense Counsel James r
Reilly earlier had asked Judge
Matthew F. Mcguire to dismiss
one count of the four-count in
dictment on the grounds that it
stemmed from testimony given
by Young to a Senate subcom-
mittee while the Senate was in
session.
Senate rules provide, Mr.,
Reilly said, that no standing
committee shall sit while the
Senate is in session, normally
after noon. For this reason, he
said, the subcommittee session
at that point was not a valid
one.

fore noon and that its com

No novice golfer should expert
ment with his grip, but when
your scores testify as to your
progress there are a couple OF
slight changes you can make in
your grip which will enable you
to hook or slice at will. You will
find an ability to purpoSely pro-

cause you will then be able to
play around some of the obstacles
which may confront you on the
golf course.
Remember, however, that
these tips are for the more ad-

should not experiment until he
has the fundamentals down pat.
He should wait until he can hit
the ball straight consistently be-
fore he starts fooling around
with his grip.
If you want to hook a ball turn
both hands toward the right side
on the grip or shaft. This posi-

but it will enable you to hook the
