charge from the witness stand.
She told the court the pretty
child fell from her crib at break
fast time and that, later in the
day, Magdalena was accidentally
crushed when her mother fell
on her.
Third Child to Die.
In his opening statement,
States Attorney Robert T. Bar

"the third child in a family of
eight to meet death at a tender
age"
Mrs. Orencia, in 1914, was &C
quilted by District Court jury
Of fatally beating q 3-year-old
daughter, Aurora. After the
verdict, she was committed to St.
Elizabeths Hospital, where she
remained for seven years. Her
flrst-born son, Ronald, died in

stantio r. Orencia, So, a chef in
Waldorf restaurant, moved to
Charles County in 1852. Their
five other children are in the
care of the local Welfare Board.
A son, Douglas Wainwright
Orencia, II, was on the witness
stand briefly yesterday.
Husband to Testify.
A. Gwynn Bowie and William
B. Bowie of Upper Marlboro,
counsel for Mrs. Orencia, said
the husband would testify today

and Ronald. told the court yes
terday that, in his opinion, Mag
dalena's injuries were caused by
a blow to the abdomen by a
relatively small object, such as
an iron bar. a club or q fist.
Two Prince Georges County
Medical Examiners, Drs. James
I. Boyd and John T. Maloney,
supported the defense contention
that Magdalena was fatally hurt
by a fall from her crib or by
the impact Of her mothers fall
ing body.

At his press conference yes
terday he told reporters he had
no apologies for the makeup
OF the commission. He said he
had chosen the 80 members with
an eye to seeing that the entire
State was represented and there
was mo particular reason" why
State Senator Ted Dalton of
Radford or Delegate Armistead
Boothe were omitted.
Mr.. Dalton and Mr.. Boothe
had suggested during the winter
term of the General Assembly

before the court decision came
down.

Mr.. Stanley commended
Mr.. Boothe for the latter's state.
ment that the commission should
solicit opinions from moderates

The Governor, meantime, said
he planned to confer with Mr..
Almond and the attorney for
Prince Edward County's School

date the commission holds it's
organizational meeting in Rich

This is the caliber of program

House Will Approve
oO96 Farm Price
5upports, Hope. Says

Chairman Hope Of the House
Agriculture Committee today
predicted the House will pass the
one-year extension of high-level
price supports on basic crops ap-
proved by the committee yeSter-
day over administration opposi-
ton.
Senate Republican leaders have
not given up the fight for the
flexible supports favored by
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary Of Agriculture Benson,
but farm bloc Senators are con-
fident the Senate also will ap-
prove retention of the 90 per
cent level of parity on the basic
crops, like cotton. wheat, corn,
tobacco and peanuts.
President Still Can Win.
If the loses in Congress PreSi-
dent Eisenhower can still win
his fight for support levels rang
ing from IS to 80 per cent by
vetoing the high-level bill, be-
cause if no farm bill is enacted
this year flexible supports will
take effect on January /. They
were voted by Congress in 1949,
but have been postponed from
time to time by temporary laws.
Vetoing high-level farm bill
might involve a serious political
gamble for the Republicans in
their efforts to hold control of
Congress in the Fall elections.
Many of the Republicans in
Congress come from the Mid
west farm States.
The vote in the House Com
mittee for keeping the 80 per
cent parity level another year
was 81 to 8.
Benson Not Surprised.
Commenting on the House
committees action, Secretary
Benson told a news conference
he was disappointed but not
surprised"
1T was about what we antic-
ipated," he said. Sometimes
there are reverSalS of committee
actions. The final decision will
be made by Congress-"
Mr.. Benson said he saw no
compromise in sight on the con-
troversy. Asked if he would rec
ommend that Gen. Eisenhower
accept a one-year extension, Mr..
Benson replied:
Il don't think the President
would need any recommended
tionS on that score"
