as compared to q. year and two
years ago, have caused unhappi-
ness on the farms here as they
have in other States. The Illi-
nois Farm Bureau Federation,
however. has sstrongly supported
the Eisenhower farm program of
flexible price supports and 1t
has been effective In educating
its members regarding the pro-
gram. The federation has 200, 900
members. The Farmers Union,
which has tried for a couple of
years to get itself established in
Illinois. has had little success.
It may have 1000 members. ac-
cording to some reports. The
federation. however. has adopted
a neutral stand in the senatorial
race. saying that it could work
with either Mr.. Meek or Senator
Douglas.
Senator Douglas has the ad-
vantage OF having campaigned
throughout the State in the
past. This is Mr.. Meek's first
attempt to win public office. He
started from scratch with the
farmers, and he has been as
siduously plowing that ground.

DR.. Harry Leon, a coroner's
physician. noted puncture marks
on the arms and said death was
the result of a combination of
alcohol, barbiturates and an
alkaloid-posSibly morphine and
possibly administered by some
one else.
DR.. Icons findings were ques-
toned, and the special group Of
pathologists named to double
check will report that DR.. Leon
should have arrived at the right
answer "a hours after the body
was found" according to DR.,
Saphir.
The panel said the quantities
of those substances found in the
tissues were too small to cause
death.
Young Thorne died nine days
after revising his will to leave
half his estate to Miss Ragen.

were to have been married next
