Foes of the administrations
flexible farm price support pro-
gram claimed yesterday that
bill to require the rigid 80 per
cent of parity will win by
comfortable crop Of votes in the
House this week.
The House battle Tuesday and
Wednesday seems certain to be
even more rugged than a SIM
liar struggle there almost year
ago. A 228-170 House vote at
that time authorized flexible
price supports for corn, wheat.
cotton, rice and peanuts in 1855
at 8212 to 80 per cent Of parity,
and as low as rs per cent in 1856
and thereafter.
But the bill to repeal that
flexible provision and to restore
the mandatory 80 per cent floor
for those basic crops comes to
the House this week under con-
siderably different circuln-
stances. 1t also faces some sig
nificant changes in expected
voting, members declared.
Forsee Hard Fight
Friends of the flexible price
support system do not concede
defeat. They admit, however,
that they have a hard fight on
their hands and cannot count
on any last-minute "compro-
mise" The issue of flexible vs..
rigid supports has become too
sharply drawn and too frankly
political for that, they observed.
A major new factor reported
by opponents of the administra-
tion's farm program is that Or
ganized labor leaders back the
rigid supports idea for the first
time. They recalled that CIO
President Walter Reuther as
serted at a House Agriculture
Committee hearing several weeks
ago that Secretary of Agriculture
Benson waged a campaign of
Misrepresentation" about the
flexible support system.
Tours Drought Areas
Another factor viewed by rigid
price support advocates as likely
to rally additional Democratic
votes for the present bill is a
recent trip of Mr.. Benson. Re-
turning from drought areas in
Western States, the Agriculture
Secretary last week charged that |
''unsound farm programs" con-
tributed to those serious drought |
conditions. He said he was talk
ing about high rigid price sup |
ports"
Still another possible factor
being watched by members of |
Congress on both sides of the |
issue will be an intended move |
by the administration to go
ahead with flexible price sup
ports authorized in the 1854 bill. |
AS yet, no support rate has been |
directly applied under the 80! to
80 per cent of parity authorize |
ton.
Parity is a standard aimed at |
giving farmers a basic crop
price deemed fair in relation to |
prices they pay for goods and
services. 4
Not Less Than 81 Pct.
The Agriculture Department
recently announced that the sup
port rate for this years corn
crop would be not less than 81
per cent. It previously said the
support rate for wheat would be
81! per cent. In general. the sup
port price, under the flexible
program, would be based on the
size of those basic crop supplies
or surpluses.
To a greater extent than In
House debate last year the struge

political. although not entirely
partisan. arguments.

scribed as misleading "blitz sell
ing and crazy giye-awaJs" by
auto dealers.

Of the association, yesterday ap-
pointed a special committee to
take immediate steps to combat
the practice. He asked directors
and State branches Of the or
ganization to provide the asso-
citation with copies of all news
paper, radio and TV advertising
which seems "unethical, mis-
leading or false"
I'VE are not concerned in this
program with aggressive selling
and merchandising" Mr.. YarnalI
said in a statement. THE auto
mobile business has been built on
keen competition at the manu-
featuring and dealer levels and
we have no desire in any way to
curb or restrain this competi-
ton. We are prohibited by law
from price fixing between deal
ers at the national. State and
local levels and have no desire
to fix prices"
Mr.. Yarnall said much auto
advertising today is simply un-
true"

counts, high trade-in allowances,

are. In many instances, come

BONN, Germany, R-Chancel- Tor Adenauer and his cabinet to- day discussed the sensational re- turn to West Germany of former intelligence chief Otto John.
 An Interior Ministry spokesman said John, meanwhile, was still under interrogation here. He said the questioning could last four or five days.
 John is giving information voluntarily" he said, 'There has been nothing revealed so far that would ustify the filing of any charges against him.
 Nothing of what John was tell ing was announced. There was no confirmation of the report by a West German news agency that he had said a West Berlin physician, Dr. Wolfgang Wohlgemuth, had drugged him and kidnapped him from West Berlin.
 Wohlgemut left West Berlin with John and still is in East Germany

Speculation Arises Eisenhower May Support Alaska Statehood if Bill
 Provides for Military Reservations
By FRANK w. VAILLE

WASHINGTON, R,-Speculation arose today that President Eisen- hover may ask Congress to ap- prove statehood for Alaska under a bill permitting him to reserve certain areas for the military
 InaSnuch as the administration has repeatedly endorsed Hawaii's statehood aims, presidential blessing for Alaska would put the two territories on par and there by remove the objection of mem bers of Congress who want state hood for both or neither.
 While endorsement of Alaskan statehood might be considered a reversal of the administration previous position of Hawaii only, right now," it could be viewed more accurately as a continuation of the softening attitude demon strated during the last session. A P1OPOSdI lOl <1IdShctIl SIdLSllOOu with big military reservations drew some administration interest this year.
 The current speculation arose in the wake of meetings of the Pres ident and congressional leaders at which statehood for Alaska and Hawaii was announced as one of the items under discussion.
 Sen. Knwoland, Senate major ity leader, recently told Delegate. Bartlett that statehood for the northern territory was "the first thing" he had discussed with the President at recent meeting in Gettysburg. Knowland, however, declined to comment on what transpired at the meeting.
 A strong supporter of statehood for both Alaska and Hawaii, Sen. Knowland was quoted by the AL askan delegate as reiterating a

Defense Spending g Boost Proposal
 Promises Debate

WASHINGTON, R-President Eisenhower's proposal for a billion dollar boost in defense spending and a possible battle over tax cuts pointed today toward a stormy election year session of Congress.
 The Presidents plan to step up the production of B-52 bOmberS, jet interceptors and development of the guided missile program won general support from Republicans and Democrats.
 But the $3512 billion defense budget he outlined to top Con- gressional leaders at White House briefing yesterday held a threat to tax reductions previous ly proposed by Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, the Senate majority leader, and others.
 Several leaders in both House and Senate said they saw little chance of substantial tax reduc- tions, and House Speaker Rayburn said more taxes may be needed.
 It also cast some doubt on bal ancing the budget in the new fiscal year.
