Farm Union Head SAYS
Benson Should Resign

DENVER. July 3.-James G.
Patton. president Of the Ma
tional Farmers Union. said today
Secretary Of Agriculture Benson
should resign.
In an open letter to Secretary
Benson, Mr.. Patton charged the
G. o. p. administration had not
lived up to its full parity"
campaign promises. and Mr..
Benson 'had initiated studies"
when he should have taken
definite action"
"You have piled commission
upon commission. and cheerful
pronouncement upon cheerful
announcement while the farm
economy suffered one Of its
sharpest and most terrible set
backs In years." wrote Mr.. Pat
ton. "As Q result, farmers
taks-home pay Is dangerously
= low and many today are actually
losing their faxms."

police authorities told them to
print.
Shortly before being ousted as
chief of the national police, Col.
Rogelio Cruz Wer told news
paper editors and columnists to
support the government. Other
wise. he said, they would be
seized and executed at the mo-
ment the insurgents reached the
capital. (Cruz Wer has found
refuge in Mexico).s PIT
Communists and pro-Commu-
nists scurried for cover in var
ious embassies as soon as PreSi-
dent Arbenz resigned, fully real
izing that the game was up.
GuatemalanS, freed from the
fear of Communists for the first
time in years, look hopefully
toward a future in which their
economy is repaired and Guate-
mala has restored its reputation
in the American family of ma
tons.

Optional lone Added
To School Map for
Wilson and Western
By james G. Deone

Some students may have o
choice between WoOlrow Wilson
and Western High Schools next
September.
An optional zone has been set
up between the two northwest
high schools on the new bound
airy map with which the school
system will begin race desegre-
CATION in the fall.
High school students new to
= the Washington schools will be
able to enter either school If
they live in the in-between area.
!. A similar neutral territory
exists on the boundary map used
during the past school year. The
optional zone on the new map
Is somewhat smaller, but it has
the effect of preserving the pres
ent boundary between the two
high schools almost intact.
Last Minute Decision.
Western and Wilson are the
only high schools with such an
optional zone on the new. inte-
grated boundary map. Officials
at first set up a boundary line
without the zone, but q last
minute decision was made to re-
store it. !
The change in plans was not
disclosed until after q new
boundary map was made avail
able for publication last Thurs
day. The map didn't show the
special zone.
Assistant Supt. Norman ].
Nelson, when asked about the
revision, would not give any
reason.
It was reported, however. that
there was an effort by parents
to have the present Wilson,
Western boundary preserved.
Under the plan first published,
Wilson's territory would have
: been shrpnk slightly.
The optional zone extends west
from Connecticut avenue near
the Zoo to Macarthur boulevard
near Chain Bridge, passing just
north Of Washington Cathedral
and a block south OF American
University. On the top it follows
Macomb street, Nebraska avenue
and Loughboro road. and on the
bottom Klingle and Woodley
roads. a brief stretch Of Massa-
chusetts avenue, Arizona ave-
nue., Fulton street, Chain Bridge
: road, Klingle street and Mac
Arthur boulevard.
New Students Only.
Only students new to the Dis
trict public schools are affected
: by the new non-racial boun-
diaries in September. Last years
boundaries remain in effect for
students already enrolled.
Beginning next February, how
; ever, Junior high graduates are
due to follow the new bc>n-
. DIARIES in entering high schools.
, Present students at Western
and Wilson-and those who en-
ter next fall-will be permitted
to stay in the two schools until
graduation, even If they happen
to live outside the new boun-
= diaries. This is also true of all
other schools, unless this policy
causes overcrowding.
; In September, 1855, old boun-
diaries will go out of use entirely
: for all District schools.

Sizzling Fight Seen
AS Farm Price Bill
Goes Before Senate

Senator Young, Republican,
Of North Dakota said yesterday
that the 228-17O House vote for
q flexible iarm price support
program is bound to hurt the
Republicans in farm states"
But other Senator'S OF both
parties, including some who side
with Senator Young in favoring
rigid high supports for major
field crops. differed sharply.
The issue now goes to the Sem
ate, where a sizzling floor battle
appears certain.
Most partisans in the dispute
between flexible and rigid sup
ports expressed surprise at the
58-vote margin rolled up ii. the
House yesterday for q flexible
support program ranging from
82h to 80 Der cent Of parity.
Chairman Aiken Of the Senate
Agriculture Committee said he
is confident That the Senate will
duplicate that action and send
President Eisenhower a bill he
will approve. The adNinistra-
ton wanted a 1890 per cent
range of fiexibility, but Repub-
lican leaders said the compro-
mise would be acceptable.
Senator Aiken expects most
Republican Senators and q fair
number Of Democrats to reject
the proposed one-year extension
Of present fiat 80 per cent of
parity supports for wheat.
cotton, corn, rice and peanuts.
In the House test, % Repub-
licans voted with lat Democrats
against the compromise plan.
On the winning side were As
Democrats, 1872 Republicans and
one independent.
Senator Mundt, Republican, Of
South Dakota. who wants the
Senate = extend the present 90
per cent supports. disagreed with
Senator Young about the polit-
ical effects among farm belt vot-
erS.
1.-THE farm problem never has
been a clear-cut political issue, I"
Senator Mundt said in an inter-
view. tits more a sectional is
sue that often pits Republican
against Republican. Democrat
against Democrat and even
farmer against farmer"
Senator Young said farm area
Republicans would be hurt '"be-
cause this will mean another
round of lower farm prices on
top Of a general decline of IS
per cent during the past year"
He said these price dips plus a
sharp cutback in acreage for
wheat farmers who get supports
will hurt the country economi-
cally.

numbers Of anti-Reds were

many cases killed.
Apparently Arbenz long identi-
fed the anti Communist move

rected only against the Reds
until the torturing, exiting and
failing reached the point where
the public was convinced that
only a new government could de-
Stroy the Communists.
Many anti Communist Guat-
emalans generally feel that Ar
benz still would be president and
the country In good economic

the abdication Of President ia
cobo Arbenz Guzman and the
formation of a new government
led by anti-Communists.
In a desperate attempt to save
themselves and their Red-in-
huenced government, Guate-
malan Communists and police
unleashed a reign of terror dur
ing the last two weeks In June.
Some 800 Guatemalans whose
only crime was their opposition
to Communism were killed with
out formal charges or trials.
Many suffered brutal torture be-
fore being put to death.
How did a relative handful Of
Communists come close to COM
plete domination of this Central
American country and its three
million inhabitants?
How Communists Succeeded.
The answer lies in the classic
Communist tactics of infiltrating
labor unions and the govern
ment: posing as friends of the
poor and enemies of United
States imperialism: deceiving
fuzzy minded government lead
ers who accepted the Commu-
nists' support and wound up as
their prisoners; finally terroriz-
ing and assassinating anti-C Com
munists.
Guatemalan Communists got
by for long time without arous-
ing too much suspicion. The big
majority Of the inhabitants were
illiterate and poverty stricken:
the per capita income was the
lowest in Central America ($77
in 1949); a few families owned
practically all the tillable land;
i long and harsh dictatorship
had throttled political develop
ment.
The overthrow of the dictator
ship in 1914 ushered in the con-
stitutional regime Of Juan Jose
Arevalo, who set out to correct
the worst abuses in Guatemalan
life. At the same time Commu-
nists began work on a small scale
and without fanfare.
BY 1949 the Communists had
a Marxist indoctrination school
in operation. Their newspaper
Octubre. complete with hammer
and sickle. voiced their propa-
ganda, Red leaders were in Con-
gresS. and the labor movement
was getting q Red tinge.
MOnxon Sensed Danger.
Among those In the Arevalo
cabinet who sensed the Com
munist danger was Col. Elfego
Monzon. Minister of the Interior.
He cracked down on the Com
munists, closing their school and
newspaper. but was left out on q
limb when the Communist-in-
duenced Congress censured him,
and President Arevalo failed to
back him up.
Now Col. Monzon is head of
the government junta which has
displaced the Arbenz regime and
put the Reds on the run. Col
Carlos Castillo Armas, leader OF
the liberation army" which top
pied Arbenz. is another leading
member Of the anti Communist
junta.
An aggressive Communist
campaign for power began after
the ambush assassination of Col
Francisco Javier Arana and the
subsequent election Of Col. Ar.
benz in 1850.
| Col. Arana had the army's
support in his bid for the presi-
dency but Arbenz survived {
bloody military revolt that fol.
lowed the assassination and, with
the support Of the Communists
easily won the presidential cleo,
