New Farm Bill
Gets Qualified
OK. byBenson
Sees Improvements,
But Says Measure
Needs More Study
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

0kudlllleQ dppIUVdl NOl d new
farm bill passed by the Senate
came from Agriculture Secretary
Benson today as the prolonged
farm bill fight shifted back to
the House.
Mr.. Benson said the bill is
rather complicated" and that
he had not had an opportunity
to study in detail a number OF
amendments.
However" he added in a
statement. "a quick check of the
bill indicates that, overall, it has
been much improved from the
standpoint of the Department Of
Agriculture" Many of the things
approved by the Senate, Mr.
Benson said. were highly con-
tstructive," among them the sol
bank plan.
Measure Studied
Department experts were
studying item by item the meas
ure approved by the Senate last
night.
The bill was returned to the
House which had passed post
veto bill May 3 differing from
the Senate's version.
The job of adjusting the
bills will be tackled Monday
and wearied legislators are in
hopes that this will not take toe
long.
The Senate went to extreme
lengths to facilitate action on the
House side, even reversing itself
on one vote on the measure in
the hopes Of avoiding a confer
ence from whence it might
never return" as Senator Aiken
Republican of Vermont, put it.
Largely Same Bill
Other Senators also warned OF
the danger of delay if the House
refuses to accept Senate changes
and insisted on sending the
measure to conference.

Ousted County Official
Accepts Reoppointment

TOWNSVILLE. Va, July 10 (Pl.
Harry B. Rowlett has ac-
cepted reappointment as Lee
County commemorative attorney
at the urging of Republican
hackers who termed his custer
by a special three-judge court
last week the most fragrant
abuse of power since the days of
Pontius PLATE"
Mr.. RoWlett was exhorted to
return to Office and the court
was angrily attacked in a reso-
luton adopted last night by some
600 Republicans who met at the
county courthouse here.
Mr. Rowlett, who said the
people have been subjected to
a very bitter experience, then
announced he would stay on
with great sense of duty and
responsibility to the citizens of
this county. -
Last week a special three
Judge court ousted Mr.. Rowlett
and three other Republican Of
flceholders in Lee after the tri-
bunal found the G.. o. P. had il
legally engaged in the bloc pay
ment of poll taxes.
Along with Mr.. Rowlett, the
court tossed out Sheriff Robert
Belcher, Treasurer c. H. Evans
and Commissioner of Revenue
Peter c. Chance.
Last Saturday Judge George
Morton named Mr.. Rowlett and
three Democrats as replace
ments. j. K. Newman was APP
pointed treasurer, Joel w. Rob-
inson, Commissioner of Revenue,
and Greed Chadwell, sheriff.
In last nights resolution, the
Republicans accused the three
Democratic judges of disre-
earding the will of the people.
They called on Mr.. Rowlett to
return to Office because the
county is lin need of a temper
ate and just man to blunt the
sharp edge OF oppression and
persecution.
Mr.. Rowlett, Jonesville at
tolney, declared, that fraud in
elections must cease and / am
now advising the people of Lee
County, regardless Of party, that
l will seek out and expose any
and all attempts to manipulate
elections in the future.
Il feel" he continued. that
this bitter experience which the
citizens Of Lee County have I'M
dergone has taught us and made
us realize, along with the rest
of the State, that we must have
changes in the election laws.
Mr.. Rowlett mentioned no spe-
cific changes but said. I'VE are
looking to Richmond for these
changes at the next session OF
the general assembly"
