The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee decided today to dispense
with hearings on the House-ap-
proved farm bill, and will meet
Wednesday morning to begin
whipping the measure into final
shape.
Formal discussion indicated
some sentiment among the men,
bers for changes in the measure
that they may run counter to
White House ideas.
II don't think this committee
ought to bow down to just what
the President wants." said
Chairman Ellender, Democrat of
Louisiana. The new bill is large
ly the same as that which Presi-
dent Eisenhower vetoed, minus
the principal price raising fea-
lures to which he objected.
The committee will call in Ag-
riculture Department experts in
an advisory capacity, but agreed
that the whole subject of farm
aid had been canvassed so thor
oughly in previous hearings that

John Gilbert Graham were ready
today for consideration by Dis
trict Judge Joseph M. Mcdonald.
One is a signed affidavit in
which Graham. "a, states he
wants to die in Colorado's gas
chamber as soon as possible.
The other is a motion for q new
trial, filed by Graham's court
appointed lawyers. There has
been no indication when Judge
Mcdonald may act on either.
: A District Court jury con-
victed Graham Friday night Of
numbering his mother, Mrs.

Suspended Attorney Sees
Attempt at BIockmoiI
BY MARY McGRORY

A suspended career attorney of
the Tax Division of the Depart
ment of Justice today accused
an "over-zealous' special as
sistant to the Attorney-General
OF attempted blackmail."
Ellis N. Slack, suspended chief
of the Appellate Section of the
Tax Division, told a press con-
ference that on December 10,
1855. the Departments director
of tax investigations, WHY'S S.
Newcomb, conveyed through a
mutual friend a message which
Mr.. Slack regarded as threaten
ing.
The message was delivered two
weeks after Mr.. Slack was named
as a "co-conspirator" in a tax
fixing indictment.
Matthew j. Connolly, former
President Humans appointment
secretary; T, Lamar Caudle,
former assistant Attorney Cen
eral. and Harry I. Schwimmer,
Kansas City lawyer were named
as defendants. They were charged
with an attempt to "defraud''
the Government in connection
with the income tax of Irving
Sachs and Shu-StileS. Inc. The
three defendants went on trial
today in st. Louis.
Threat Charged
The message was to the effect
Mr.. Slack said. that unless Mr.
Slack came forward and told Mr.
NeWcomb what his instructions
had been in regard to white
washing" the tax-flxing case, he
would be named as a defendant
mot merely co-conspirator-
In a bigger indictment" involv-
ing the same people.
Mr., Stacks attorney, Joseph A
Fanelli. declined to identify the
mutual friend beyond saying he
was "practicing attorney" not
with the Government. Mr.. Fan
ELI said that he did not wish
to name the man but was pre-
pared to do so if Mr.. Newcomt
denied the charge. The man
gave Mr.. Slack a memorandum
of his conversation with Mr.
Newcomb. According to Mr.
Fanelli, the man was told tc
convey" the message to Mr.
Slack. The man will. If neces-
sary, swear to the memorandum
Mr.. Fanelli added.
Mr.. Slack said he did not think
Mi. Newcombs conduct was
motivated by personal animos-
ity," but rather by "overzealous-
ness"
Mr.. Slack also made public the
Justice Department charges
against him and his answer to
them. He pointed out that while
the indictment of November 80
called him a "co-conspirator" in
the Sachs case, it alleged no
illegal acts against him.
Press Release Hit
He further charged that a Jus
tice Department press release,
issued December /, was fraud

understood TO mean that a
charge Of conspiracy to obstruct
justice in the Sachs matter was
being preferred against me &c

Police Chief
Gives Tips For
Safe Vacation

Words Of wisdom from Chief
of Police H. S. Weaver on vaca-
ton safety tips are keyed to the
August motorist >.
On the way
/. Speed kills, take it easy. Start
a little earlier and don't try to
cover too great a distance in one
day.
2. Long drives at constant speed
make you drowsy. Vary your speed
and stop occasionally to stretch
your legs.
3. Be sure you understand driv-
ing techniques in different locali-
ties, such as in the mountains or on
superhighways.
4. Don't be impatient to make
time. It's unsafe, and it's not rest
full driving. Watch your passing.
5. Signs and signals are not
uniform in all states. Read them
carefully when in strange terri
tory.
6. Scenery can be taken in small
doses from moving car, but if
you want to drink deeply of ma
ture's beauty, pull off the road
and stop.
7. If you leave children alone in
the back seat, be sure the doors
are locked.
After you arrive
/. Relax! Don't try to crowd
years exercise into two weeks.
2. Take the sun in easy doses.
Don't nap in the sun. Wear sun
glasses.
3. Stay out Of the water for at
least an hour after eating, and
swim in the sight of others. BE
sure water is deep enough and
free Of obstructions before diving.
Don't try to swim too far.
a. Distribute the load evenly in
boats. Don't stand up. If you fall
out and the boat stays on an even
keel, climb in over the stern. Most
boats won't sink, so stay with it
until help comes, if it should cap
size. Check the weather before 60
ing far on a large lake.
5. Don't sample berries, touch
unfamiliar plants, or drink i'm
pure water.
6. Be sure Of your footing when
climbing.
z. Stay away from high ground
and single trees in a lightning
storm.
