Thieves Efforts
FruitIeSS When
No Money Found

Three attempted robberies some
time Monday night were to no
avail for those who evidently hop
ed to enrich themselves, according
to the report of London Police
Tuesday morning.
At Barnhart's on West High St,
an unsuccessful attempt was made
to break into the safe. Fooled
there, the cash drawer in the serv-

but nothing was found.
Seeking further, they went west
on High Street and took the trou-
BILE to break the lock on the safe
in the Shaw Elevator that was al
ready unlocked. No money had
been left in the safe. Second at
tempt did not yield anything.
The Tanner-Robison Lumber of
flee on South Oak Street, was the
third place visited and thorough
search of the office was made for
money but nothing was missing,
employees said. Two safes in the
office were not even bothered, the
report concluded.

Ike Farm Program
Doomed Says Rep,
Poage OF Texas

According to an Associated Press
report from Washington, a top
Democrat predicted today that no
more than three of the % MEM
bers of the House Agriculture
Committee would support the Eli
Senhower administration farm
program.
Representative Poage Of Texas,
second-ranking committee demo-
crat, said that the President would
get two, maybe three, votes out
of the committee" to send the adj
ministration bill to the House
floor.
This was in line with private es-
Inmates of some COP members
that the President could count on
no more than three or four mem
berS to back his program of flexi-
BILE farm price supports in COM
mittee.
If true, this could mean sudden
death for the Eisenhower program
in committee, and virtually assure
House extension of the present
program Of mandatory high level
price supports for another year at
least.
Chairman Hope (R-Kas) de-
clined to predict the fate of the
farm bill in the House
But he indicated a belief that
the administration might have to
settle for some compromise, or ac-
cept continuation of government
price supports at 80 per cent of
parity for another year or two.
There is some possibility of
working out something other than
straight continuance of the 80
per cent of parity program" Hope
said. Parity is a formula designed
to assure the farmer a fair re-
turn for his products, in relation to
the prices of the things he must
buy.
Whatever compromise resulted,
Hope said it probably would have
to be worked out in conference be-
tween the Senate and House.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
said last week he probably would
recommend a presidential veto of
any bill continuing price supports
at mandatory high levels.
