II seems that Captain Curry OF

Champion Weight-lifter in Florida.
He won this title a few years ago
at the age Of 33-the Oldest con.

exercise involved in taking fishing
parties out every day in the Cactus
hasn't done anything to diminish
Arts strength. For this reason and
because our own muscles consist

Secretary of Agriculture
(Second OLA Two-Part Series)

Any effective solution of today's
farm problem must provide methods
for reducing our hugel stockpile of
agricultural commodities and at the
same time prevent fufther burden

Getting rid of these SURPRISES is
only half of our pBblem. Even If
we were able to bring them down to
manageable proportions, we would
soon acquire new boards of wheat

listing system Of price supports.
We already have approximately
S2.5 billions tied up in loans on farm
commodities, n addition to an equa
amount invested in goods which we
own outrightHs5 billions in all.
Our present program does not en-

are rewnired to meet tie changing
market demands for various com
modities.
OF course, we could destroy some

Proposals To Solve Farm Problems

We can make a real effort to move
SURPRISES oft of warehouses and into

consumption of some commodities.
We can pfsh forward in u research
programs ITO new uses for
farm goods I'VE can throw our entire
weight behind plans for expanding
present foreign markets and finding
new outlets overseas.
Such methods, While they will not
produce results al quickly as dump
ing or destroying food, offer a far
sounder approach to our basic
problems.
Along those hnes, | can report that
our promotiorhl campaign, under.
taken with tie meat industry and
food stores, isproducing real results
We are consuming beef this year al
the rate of Isl pounds per person, the
highest in Out history.
Farm exports have turned upward
since July /, rejecting u emphasis
upon expanding trade. Continued
high employment at home, with ma.
tional income at record levels, means
a strong demand for farm goods IN
the United States,I

BY the Assoeiossd Press

PANAMA, June 15.-Reports
circulated here today that a
dozen parachute troopers landed
on the Pacific coast Of Guate-
mala a few hours after Col.
Carlos Enrique Diaz, the army
chief of staff, tried to leave by
plane for Washington.
This was the latest word to
come from Guatemala. where the
Leftist government has clamped
down a tight censorship on the
grounds that the regime is
threatened by a revolution.
Private advices yesterday said
the army had submitted a Ques-
tionnaire to President Jacobo
Arbenz Guzman regarding Com
munist influences in the country,
asked him to break ties with the
Reds and demanded an answer
by the end of the week.
Ultimatum Denied.
The Guatemalan radio denied
last night in a series of broad
casts that the army had SUBJ
mitted any ultimatum to the
President.
Informants here said the para
chute troops were dropped on the
Pacific coast on Monday night.
BY their account:
A railroad worker at an un-
specified west coast town saw IL
paratroopers leap from a plane.
He telephoned police who noti-
fled authorities in the capital.
Col. Enrique DiaZ tried to get
an airline reservation for Wash
ington. He filled out the proper
papers and made all necessary
arrangements, but the trip was
cancelled without explanation.
Relationship UncIear.
It was not brought out whether
there was a direct relationship
between the two incidents.
Other reports said Ruben
Gonzales Siqui, chief of the ar
my's military police, has been
ousted.
Reports persisted in diplomatic
circles that several Communists
have been killed in the last few
nights in outlying districts in
Guatemala. This would indicate
growing resistance to the Red
tinged government.
