repercussions in agriculture
States.
Some of the Republicans from
the Midwest admitted they wert
disturbed but they quickly added
that opinion on the farm bill
veto was divided and that they
would make the best of the
situation.
Republican State Chairman
Morton H. Hollingsworth of Il
linoiS said that he did not be-
live the Presidents veto would
interfere at all with Republican
prospects in his State and that
President Eisenhower would GER
tainly carry it in November. The
recent Illinois primary, accord
ing to Mr.. Hollingsworth was
satisfactory because of the strong
downstate Republican vote
President Eisenhower ran about
$4,000 votes ahead of the Dem
ocratic hopeful, Adlai Steven
son.
Republican State Chairman
Ray Bliss of Ohio was. another
Midwest chairman who declared
that Mr.. Eisenhower would carry
his State. He admitted that
there was some division among
the Ohio farmers over the farm
bill but pointed out that the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton. which has supported the
President in the controversy
over rigid 80 per cent of parity
farm price supports, was very
strong in the State.
Serious Fight in Kansas
Senator Schoeppel said the
Republicans in his section of the
country would have a serious
fight on their hands, due to the
low farm prices. A presidential
veto of the farm bill, he COM
mented before the veto was an
nounced, would make the situa-
ton even more difficult. He said
that the Republicans faced q
major battle in at least 10 OF
these Midwest States.
Senator Schoeppel's conten-
ton was that the Republicans
would have to pull up their boot
straps and wade into the fight to
carry those states for Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
Former Gov. Ralph F. Gates
of Indiana. now Republican Ma
tional Committeeman. said that
the farmers in his state would
4 in the main stick to Mr.. Eisen-
hover but that some Of them
might go over to the Democrats
II believe that the President
will carry Indiana" he said.
Mr.. Gates was asked how In

ton Of Vice President Nixon.

Committee Chairman Hall gave
an indication of G. o. P. offen-

ference with an attack on the

dent Truman.

Jewish state born in the fires of
war with four Arab neighbors-
Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Leha-
non.
Twelve French-type Ouragan
jet planes spearheaded an air
parade in Haifa.
Highly placed Israeli military
sources had reported yesterday
that a newer jet plane. the
French Mystere. would make its
appearance. But no MYSTERIES
were on display and there was no
official confirmation of the re-
port that IL of these planes ac-
tually had been delivered to Is
rael to somewhat balance Egypt's
acquisition of Soviet MIG-15
jets from Czechoslovakia.
Top officials on Hand
The Ouragans, never dis
played publicly in Israel before,
along with British-made Meteor
jets. took part in the aviation
section of the two-hour military
parade reviewed by top Israeli
officials and thousands of spec
tatorS.
The parade fell on the eve of
Dag Hammarskjold's arrival on a
United Nations mission to stamp
out the new flames of conflict
between Arab and Israeli.
Mr.. Hammarskjold talked
nearly two hours in Beirut today
with Lebanese Premier AbdulIah
AL Yaf1 and Foreign Minister
Salim Lahoud. A Lebanese
spokesman said Mr.. Hammar-
skiold was told Lebanon was
ready to accept all proposals to
reduce tension in the Middle
East"
The only qualification to Leb-
anon's stand, the spokesman
said, was that the proposals
would not prejudice a final Just
settlement of the Palestine ques-
ton and must not violate the
sovereignty of any Arab state"
The border area was COM
paratively quiet but uneasy in
the wake of the U. N. secretary
generals first week of on-the-
scene persuasion.
Egypt Charges Violations
An Egyptian spokes m a n
charged that Israel had violated
Mr.. Hammarskjold's newly in
voked cease-f1re eight times in
the past 48 hours. The spokes-
man said Israelis fired into the
Egyptian-held GAIA strip five
times yesterday and two Israeli
planes had flown over the strip
for five minutes Saturday.
I'VE kept our word to U. N.
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold and refused to re-
turn one single shot," he said.
Premier David Ben-Gurion set
the theme of the somber OBJ
Iservance in a broadcast last
night to the nation. He warned
that if war breaks out, "our
enemies will meet the power and
heroism of our defense forces
which will give back to the ag-
gressor two blows for one"
"A heavy responsibility to-
ward the history of humanity
has been assumed by powers
that are supplying aggressive
arms to the Egyptian dictator
premier Canal Abdel Nasser)
and also by those powers that
deny defensive arms to Israel"
Mr.. Ben-Gurion charged.
President Izhak Ben-Zvi urged
1srael's youth to prepare for
defense against any attack by
the enemy who threatens to
destroy U.S."

couple. When they finally drove
up some SO Monaco police in
plain clothes moved in on pho
tographers waiting beside the
entrance. AS Grace and Rainier
sped for cover fists started to
fly. Before it was over a num-
Der of cameras were smashed
and their owners thoroughly
roughed up.
A few minutes later an order
came from the Prince that pho
tographers we're to be cleared
from the entrance. For the rest
of the evening until nearly 2

in an open pen across the street.
Appeal Is Made
BY the time the couple re-
emerged, the mood outside was
far from cordial.
Look at us. Grace" the cry
went up. do you think this is
fair?"
Miss Kelly standing in her
beautiful white dress with the
Prince beside her looked over
unsmilingly. AS the Princes lin
CUISINE drew away behind its po-
lice escort the square suddenly
rang with whistles and boos ir
which a good part Of the wait
ing crowd seemed to join.
Today there is talk of new
restrictions to be taken against
unruly photographers by Monaco
authorities. There is also talk OF
meeting of all the national
press associations here to protest
against the way things are going
All of which strikes a rather

separate soil bank bill and an
nounced a three-point program
of administrative action de-
signed to boost farmers income
this year.
In lengthy message to Con-
gress, the President said in eff
feet that the bill it passed last
Wednesday night would cause
more trouble for farmers rather
than solve their problems.
He scheduled a half-hour tele-
viSion-radio speech for 10
o'clock tonight to explain his
veto action. The address will
be carried on WMAL, WTOP
and WRC radio and WMAL-TV
CD, The Stars station. WRC-
TV "a will present a kinescope
of the address at 1880 pm.
Points Up Issue
The Presidents action thrusts
the farm situation into towering
prominence in this years polit-
Iical campaigns. 1t becomes an
issue on which Democrats can
fire directly at the President.
Republican leaders assembled
here were frank in their uneasi-
ness over political repercussions.
In his veto message, Mr.. Eli
senhower assailed especially a
provision of the measure calling
for return this year to rigid 80
per cent of parity price supports
for basic crops, declaring this
would encourage the building up
of more price-depressing sur
pluses.
/ He praised the non-controver-
Isial soil bank provision in the
bill, asserting that it would pro-
vide an income incentive to
farmers to reduce production
temporarily so as to cut down
surplus stocks.
Calls for Soil Bank Bill
Urging that Congress now pass
a straight soil bank bill as
promptly as possible" Mr.. Eisen-
hover said it is vital" that this
be done during this session of
Congress.
Failure to enact the soil bank
plan before spring planting time.
he said, makes administrative
action imperative" to help i'm
prove farm income now.
Under the Administration
flexible price support system in
the .~@ law, he announced in
creases over previously an
nounced levels for this year on
wheat. corn and rice. He prom
ised that price supports on cot
ton and peanuts, the other two
of the five basic supported crops.>
will be set at least 82.5 per cent
of parity.
The President said the planned
minimum support level will re-
suit in average prices this year
of So bushel for wheat. $1.50
for corn and $3.50 per hundred
pounds for rice. This is an in
crease over present levels of
about 10 cents for wheat. 10 cents
for corn and as cents for rice.
Backs Support Rise
Mr.. hover also an
nounced plans to:
/. Increase the 1856 support
price 'of manufacturing milk to
1925 per hundred pounds, and of
butter fat to 58.6 cents a pound.
2. Use Agriculture Depart
ment funds-of which more than
$500 million will be available
starting July Ito strengthen
prices of perishable farm COM
modities.
The new support levels for
wheat. corn and rice represent a
compromise between those pre-
viously announced for this year
and the 80 per cent of parity
called for in the vetoed bill.
officials said wheat will be
supported at "a per cent of
parity as compared to 76 per

Borchers' Fears
For Life Related

PASADENA. Calf, Oct. Is
R).-A private detective says
Walter G. Borchers, former
Washington ID. c. minister,
charged with murder in the
death of his sweetheart. Dorothy
McCully, feared he was going to
be killed himself in a plot to
collect on his life insurance.
The weird twist to the case
was reported yesterday by Dep
uty District Attorney John M,
Loucks. who said he got the in
formation from Jack Fagg, a
private investigator hired by
Borchers to spy on Miss Nc
Gully.
Mr.. Loucks said Borcher's
fear was based on the presence
in Pasadena of two men he be-
lieved were members of the
Texas underworld. The men
were former associates of Miss
McCully's ex-husband, Louis
Chicken Louie) Ferrantello, a
Dallas gambling figure, Mr..
Loucks said, and were frequent
visitors at Miss McCully's apart
ment.
Mr.. Fagg told the district at
torney's Office that Borchers had
taken out an insurance policy for
an undisclosed amount, naming
Miss McCully as beneficiary and
thought the two men we're plot
ting his death so she would
collect.
Police are searching for the
pair.
Mr.. Loucks said Mr.. Fagg also
told him Borchers admitted
shooting Miss McCully and then
hitting her on the head with
the gun Ito keep her from
moaning"

night as a routine precaution,

Honolulu were examining the

One particular puzzle was
what caused No. l propeller to
