Charts Fight
AgainstDrought

DENVER, June 8 (P).-A con-
certed war on drought in IA mil
lion acres Of farm area took
shape as Federal, State and local
officials ended a three-day meet
ing with a detailed long range
agriculture program for 10 Great
Plains States.
But the sessions concluded
with no solution in sight for i'm
mediate relief from two years
Of severe drought and wind.
Meeting as the Great Plains
Agricultural Conference, the ex-
perts released their findings in
a 19-page report whose contents
"are to be considered as guides
only. not as final action. -
The conference includes off,
cials from land grant colleges
and Federal agencies dealing
with agricultural problems. 1t
was called into session here by
Secretary of Agriculture Benson,
who met Wednesday with gov
ernors and representatives of 13
Of the States.
States Represented
States represented at the agri-
cultural hearings yesterday were
Colorado. Wyoming. Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Texas and North and
South Dakota.
AS the first major recommen-
dation toward minimizing the
devastating effect of drought, the
conference urged a classification
study of the Great Plains area
"be completed at the earliest
practicable date"
With this data available, the
conference said agricultural ex-
perts then could conduct re-
search on methods best suited
to farming various types and
qualities of land turned up in
the classification.
Would Educate Farmers
And finally, individual far
mers then would be educated to
apply the lessons taught from
the survey and laboratory re-
search.
Throughout the report, the
group emphasized the need to
encourage farmers to use ap-
proved methods of farming.
1t sidestepped any stand on
special incentives to farmers,
however, or legislation to force
compliance and price support ar
rangements.

President Finds
Seat Easily at
Movie House
By ROBERT X. WALSH


Going to the movies with
President Eisenhower is q pro-
duction full Of quick changes
and surprises.
AS one Of the worlds most
frequently photographed and
widely travelled men, he took
time out from White House
duties late yesterday to fill the
role of film fan. But though he
wasn't on the screen or sound
track, he was very much in the
picture.
The President and some of
his executive Office staff went
over to see This Is Cinerama"
at a private showing in the
Warner Theater. Before the
two-hour presentation ended, he
passed every test of the average
moviegoer and occasionally out
did the traditional script of the
spectator.

members of the Secret Service
which yesterday celebrated its
Goth anniversary.
Later, the President shifted
seats. He went way down front
to get a better look at the ek-
pansive picture and feel its sense
of audience-participation. Before
1t was over he hummed some of
the musical Score-"America The
Beautiful" and Battle Hymn of
the Republic"
While Mr.. Eisenhower was not
late for the show, he apparently
tried out the visual and acousti-
cal effects from a distance before
sitting down. He may have
missed the roller coaster sequence
which, from a political if not pic
torial viewpoint is nothing new
In Washington.
President Inquisitive
Mr.. Thomas did most of the
talking, both on and off the
screen. During an intermission,
although passing UP an orange
drink on the house, the Presi-
dent did not pass up a chance to
ask several questions. He showed
interest in the technical size of
the film and the scope Of future
Cinerama shows after the one in
its 87th week here.
After watching panoramic

From Tuition Rise

CHARLOT TESVILLE. Va,
April 9 tP.-Higher student
fees next year at the University
of Virginia will provide for a
raise in faculty salaries. the uni
versity Board Of Visitors decided
yesterday.
The board gave speedy APP
prevail to a proposal of Uni.
versity President Colgate w.
Darden. jr., who said an in
crease in salaries is necessary
if the university hopes to attract
and hold top-grade faculty
members.
Mr.. Darden told the board
Gov. Stanley had authorized a
modest expenditure of State
funds toward the. salary raises,
This would be augmented by
raising tuition for virginians by
$40 a session in most of the
university's schools and charg-
ing non-Virginians about SITS
extra tuition for each session.
The exact new faculty scale
to become effective. in Septem-
Der was not made public. 1t
was noted. however, the increase
would be approximately % per
cent for instructors, 20 per cent
for assistant professors. Is per
cent for associates and 10 per
cent for the higher-bracketed
full professors.

PHOTO TESTIFIES
FOR PHOTOGRAPHER
IN TRAFFIC COURT

Walter E. Haggerty, a
commercial photographer,
used his camera in an effort
to prove a point yesterday
in Traffic Court.
MI. Haggerty, who lives
at 1910 Sixteenth street
NV, pleaded guilty to park
ing illegally in an alley. He
paid a SO fine imposed by
Judge Frank H. Myers.
Before doing so, however,
Mr.. Haggerty said he felt he
was being Disseminated
against by Pvt. James D.
Sandy of the traffic division.
He produced a photograph
to bolster his point.
The picture showed Mr..
Haggerty's auto with a ticket
on the windshield. In front
of the car also parked in the
alley were two other auto
mobiles without tickets.
"It does look like discrimi-
nation to me- Judge Myers
said. He questioned the po-
liceman. Pvt. Sandy said
he did not ticket the other
vehicles because their driv-
ers were in the process OF
loading or unloading mer-
chandise from a nearby
building.

dictment in a similar case in
volving other alleged gamblers.
That case has not yet been set
for trial.
The Government contended
the conspiracy in which the &C
cused engaged lasted from Oc-
tober 20, 1953-when Capt.
Thoman said Monroe first ape
preached him with a bride prop
osition--to September IA. 1854,
when the accused were arrested.
I Instructed by Rover
During those months Capt.
Thoman posed as police officer
willing to accept brides. At the
same time, he said. he was under
orders to investigate the case
and to find out how many per-
sons were involved. Defense at
tacks on his testimony brought
the frequent reply that he was
acting under instructions from
the Office of United States At.
torney Leo A. Rover.
Winston the man freed Of all
charges, was represented by At
torney William B, Bryant, a
former assistant United States
attorney.

Each of the convicted gam
blers faces a maximum prison
term of five years in each of the
bribery counts on which they
were convicted.
The jury returned the verdict
at exactly pm. yesterday, after
celebrating more than 10 hours
spread over two days.
Rumors buzzed through the
courthouse yesterday that there
might be a hung jury in the case
after the jurors sent four queS-
tons to Judge Matthews.
Shortly before 2 pm. the
jurors asked the judge these
questions:
I'VE have a hung jury. What
should we do?"
IF one is not guilty on con-
spiracy due to entrapment. can
he be found guilty on bribery"
rs is possible to listen to a
replay of one or more of the
recordings?"
IF defendant is entrapped.
can all subsequent charges
against him be eliminated? This
would clear up a problem.
Reads Allen Charge
The judge 'relread earlier in
structions she had given the
jury, and in addition read the
tso-called Allen charge. This tells
the jurors that they should
search their conscience" to de-
Itermine if their present state of
mind is final.
Less than three hours later,
the verdict was in.
Winston's wife, seated in the
courtroom, obviously was over
joyed at the verdict clearing him.
The other defendants were pas
sive in appearance.
During the month-long trial,
the defense had placed heavy
emphasis on the theory that
their clients were trapped into
violation of the law-the EN-
trapment" theme in legal termi-
nology.
Capt. Todd o. Thoman, jr., a
key Government witness. had
testified that more than $4,000
in bride money passed through
his hands in nefarious scheme
to corrupt the Police Depart
ment.
Capt. Thoman met with the
accused, he testified, at Bladens-
burg road and Eastern avenue
NE. At each of the meetings,
he said, he wore vest-pocket
wire recorder and made record
Of his talks with the accused.
There also was evidence that
he recorded telephone talks with
those on trial. A defense wit
ness, an expert in the field of
sound, testified that in his trade,
this was called wire tapping.
Defense attorneys indicated
they would raise the entrapment
theme once more when the APP

question of whether testimony
