Dulles says reports indicate Reds offer arms to Mid-Eust

WASHINGTON (P) Secre- tany of state Dulles said today there have been reliable rel ports that Russia has offered arms to some countries in the Middle East.
 Such an action by Russia the supply of arms to nations in a troubled area - would not contribute to the relaxing of world tensions, Dulles said.
 The secretary made clear to a news conference that he had no official information on the reported Russian offers of arms.
 Reports of the offers have circulated for several weeks in diplomatic quarters here.
 Dulles declined to name amy country as the target of the Soviet offers.
 But he responded to ques- ton about whether he knew of offers to Egypt or other states in the middle east, and said simply that there are indica- tions that such offers may have been made.
 Dulles said there was no ev- idence that he knew of that Soviet equipment was actually already in Arab hands. Those countries have been getting their military supplies from noncommunist sources, he said
 On other subjects, Dulles told his news conference:

Turkey Prospects
Confused, Growers
Advised To Go Easy

Go easy on turkey production
during 1855, growers were advised
this week. We may have a large
crop like last year, which means
low prices for the farmer.
The turkey prospects for 1856
have changed recently, says w. T.
McAllister, marketing specialist for
the Agricultural Extension Service
at the University, of Delaware.
Early reports from turkey grow
ers and hatcheries indicated a size
able reduction in the 1855 turkey
crop. But now it seems these re-
ductions will be much less than
expected and turkey crop as large
as last year is possible. This could
mean unsatisfactory prices for the
grower, McAllister points out.
In January there were about 5%
more heavy breed turkey hens on
farms than last year. Marketing of
turkey hens were above average in
January and February but the DO
tential supply of Matching eggs
still remains large. According to a
U. S. Department of Agriculture
survey, turkey breeders are not
forcing breeder hens into early
production this year which sug
gests the bulk of the turkey hatch
will be later than usual. If this is
the case, fewer turkeys will be
