81 Billion Farm Surplus Plan
Puts Benson on Senate Grill

over the way the Government
might use the proposed 81 billion
worth of crops which Gen.
Eisenhower would send overseas
Ito assist in strengthening the
economies of friendly countries
and otherwise to contribute to
the accomplishment Of our for
eign policy objectives."
THE greatest uncertainty in
world markets today is the dis
turbing factor of what we are
going to do with our surpluses."
said Senator Schoeppel. How
can people go into markets and
buy if they fear we are going to
give away 81 billion worth?"
Senator Schoeppel read from
The Star a news story quoting an
Agriculture Department spokes-
man to the effect that the United
States expected to get little or
no return in cash or kind for the
commodities.
Senator Schoeppel comment
ed: I'm alarmed about that"
Secretary Benson said the
Presidents message on the 81
billion did not indicate that all
of it would be given away.
Some Would BE Sold.
II would expect good part
of that would be sold," Secretary
Benson said. cit may be neces-
sary to give some gifts, but the
statement is somewhat mislead-
ing. No reference has ever been
made to giving away 81 billion.
Senator Schoeppel replied that
1--WE should pursue every avenue
to get value received"
Secretary Benson said the
Government hoped to use some
commodities to finance construc-
ton Of United States bases over
seas.

Bandit SEXES $500;
Police Fire 4 Shots
In 9O-M.P.H. Chase

A smooth working bandit
quietly staged a liquor store
holdup in Northeast Washing
ton last night and roared into
Maryland ahead of two police
men who fired four shots at the
fugitive car.
The chase began as the po-
licemen passed the Columbia
Wine & Liquor Shop, inc, 1851
Bladensburg road NE, just as
the bandit dashed away clutch
ing a cloth bag containing about
5000, and jumped into a waiting
car.
PvtS. j. L. Buch and j. F. Rey-
nolds of the Ninth Precinct got
into a taxicab and ordered the
driver, Joseph Farley. 46, of 1912
Sixteenth street NE, to give
chase.
80 MPH. Chase.
During the zig-zag run. the
fleeing car accelerated to 80 miles
an hour and shook of the taxi
cab at Bladensburg road and
New York avenue NE, but not
before Pvt. Buch fired three shots
and Pvt. Reynolds fired once.
They believed one or more of
the shots hit the car.
The chase was picked up at
Twenty-fourth street and Bla-
densburg road by Motorcycle Po-
liceman Ralph Holder, but he in
turn was outdistanced just over
the Maryland line.
The whole operation appeared
to be that of professionals. The
bandit on entering the liquor
store quietly awaited the de-
parture of several customers and
waited until the store manager
and two clerks were alone.
Holds Up One Clerk.
While the manager. Max Riff
kins, AZ. of 1924 Washington ave-
nue., Silver Spring, talked on the
telephone and the ether clerk was
busy, the robber pointed gun at
Saul j. Matesky. 40, of c414 Han
non street, Hyattsville. the other
clerk.
The gun was carefully screened
from view in an opening Of the
counter and the other two store
employees were not aware the
bandit had ordered Mr.. Matesky
to hand over the money. He
even supplied cloth bag to put
it in.
The gunman was described as
about S feet Z inches, fair COM
plexioned and weighing about
140 pounds. He wore a long
black coat, gray trousers and a
blue cap with earmuffs.
One report said the person
driving the getaway car might
have been a woman.

told police a colored man en-
tered his store at 1901 S street
NV. and, holding his hand in
his pocket as if he had a gun,
ordered him to hand over his
money.
The bandit, he said, then ran
behind the counter. knocked him
to the floor and took the money
from his wallet. He fled with
out opening the cash register.
Police said the holdup man,
who escaped in a cab, was about

Anxious members of the Sen
ate Agriculture. Committee today
closely questioned Agriculture
Secretary Benson on an admin
iStration proposal to dispose Of
an extra 81 billion worth Of
Government-owned farm prod
uctS overseas.
Senator Schoeppel, Republic
can. of Kansas. said he would
be alarmed" about any plan to
give away the commodities.
Secretary Benson said that
while; the administration sought
authority to give away the crops.
he hoped that a large amount
could be sold.
Senator Clements, Democrat.
Of Kentucky, and Senator Will
liams. Republican, Of Delaware,
also asked about administration
intentions. Senator Young. Re-
publican. of North Dakota, Sug-
gested that the United States
often could get more good will
by giving away food instead of
arms, and Secretary Benson
agreed.
The questioning came during
Mr., Benson's second consecutive
day of testimony before the
committee in support Of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's farm program
submitted eight days ago.
Butter Supports May Drop.
Secretary Benson also:
/. Indicated he would reduce
Government supports on butter,
beginning April /.
