He said "many internal reve-

Monday 30-day dismissal no

that they will have to up their

Mr.. Lyons said the dismissal

search as an agency Of the Edu-
cation Board.
The resolution recommending

Senaiors Disagree
On Significance Of
Wheat Referendum
By IRE Assoeiotsd prsss

j
Clashing opinions were heard
last night on the meaning Of D
referendum In which wheat
farmers voted for marketing
quota controls on their 1855
crop. though the percentage in
favor was o record low.
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
SON and Senator Aiken Of YER
mont. chairman Of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, said the
vote shows farmers recognize the
serious problems posed by great
wheat SURPRISES.
Mr.. Benson and Senator Aiken
said rigid price supports now in
effect have helped pile up the
surplus by encouraging needed
production. and that farmers
are In q mood to make adjust
ments.
Senator Aiken said the vote
helps set the stage for the fiexi-
BILE system Of price supports
favored by the Eisenhower adj
ministration. Under this system
supports would 60 up in times
Of scarcity to encourage produc-
ton, and decline In times of sur
pluses to spur consumption.
But Senators Clements, Demo-
crat, OF Kentucky and Hum
phrey. Democrat, Of Minnesota,
contended the referendum was
a demonstration OF approval for
the present 80 per cent Of parity
price supports. Senator Hum
phrey called it "a resounding re-
lection Of the oft-repeated adj
ministration claim that farmers
would prefer a free market to
controls"
Senator Aiken scoffed at this
! argument. saying wheat farmers
had "a shotgun" at their backs.
He said that under the law, the
choice was between wheat sup
ports at about 50 a bushel with
controls over planting and mar
keting, or supports at about $1.25
q bushel with no controls.
The q d m inistration has
pledged that. II its flexible pro-
gram is passed, reductions in
price props will be gradual and
not too sharp. Secretary Benson
said yesterday there would be
IAN effective level Of price sup
port"

there will be o reduction in
force"
In Washington. q spokesman
for the revenue-service said coll
lection for delinquent taxes has
been a problem and collectors
have been urged to step up col
lections.
At his home In Richmond, Va,
Mr.. Andrews said II don't know
anything about this particular
order and I doubt such an order
has been issued. However, we
don't think we have yet achieved
the efficiency that the people
have a right to expect Of US.
We've accomplished a great
deal. but we still have quite a way
to go. And to make sure that we
get there, we have told each Of
the, nine regional commissioners
what is expected of him and the
people in his region and in
structed him to get it done with
the least possible delay.
aIf we are going to collect the
peoples money, we think they are
entitled to their moneys worth
as far as the running of the tax
department Is concerned"

We're always saying that this

is some one living and working
today-maybe a woman-who in
the years remaining to the Goth

knockout blow.
Almost the only category

Of science, though Villa Gather

IF a great spiritual leader

Immediately of those four young

and fine as anything history has
to offer.
I thought Ghandi was great.

I'd suggest handling the carv-
