Before the S pm. closing time,

considerably below the 3,506 who

but the Office remained open to

Today's rush was about 40 per

yesterday. Experts were num-

Benson Opposes
Sales 10 Russia

LAFAYETTE, Ind, April Is
P-Secretary of Agriculture
Benson said last night that trad
ing United States farm products
to Soviet Russia for other COM
modities is neither imminent nor
likely.
Standing in the way of such
trade. he said, is "Russia's lust
for power"
These statements. made by MIR.
Benson in a speech before the
National Institute of Animal
Agriculture, appeared to set at
rest speculation that the United
States might relax restrictions
on trade with Iron Curtain coun-
tries.
Mr.. Benson himself gave rise to
this speculation by saying at a
recent news conference in Wash
ington that he favored trading
with anyone. anywhere, any
time in the good old Yankee
tradition if it was distinctly to
our advantage to do So"
Mr.. Benson also said then that
top administration officials were
reviewing policies with regard to
trading with Communist areas.
Asserting last night that he
wished to clarity the situation,
the Secretary said that what he
told the news conference was "a
general statement in answer to
broad question"
Actually, the entire question
is academic and theoretical" he
said, adding:
ITO clarity further, I do not
think trade with Russia on a
basis advantageous to us is i'm
minent or even likely in the fore
seeable future, so long as the
lust for power and the anti
Christ forces dominate Russia
and SO long as it maintains it's
selfish, one way. street sim-
perialism."
