Farm Measure
By Vote
Administration Men
Blost Bill; Prompt
House Purley Sought
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

A Senate-approved farm bill
that proposes to raise the Fed
eral ante to the depressed agri-
culture industry at least 50 bill
lion in the first year, was on
the way to conference with the
House today, after month-long
struggle,
The omnibus measure, an cleo
ton year must" cleared the
Senate by a roll-call vote of 90
2 at 1890 last night, with high
praise from Democratic leaders
and the little band of Farm Belt
Republicans who collaborated in
passage.
It was denounced with equal
fervor by administration spokes-
men to whom it represented de-
feat in important departures
from the program laid down by
President Eisenhower in his jan
uary farm message, but Senators
Bush, Connecticut, and Flanders,
Vermont, Republicans, cast the
only adverse votes. ..
The bill retained the principle
of flexible price supports for
basic crops-Wheat, cotton, rice,
corn and peanuts-for which the
administration had fought with
the argument that only by keep
ing supports low can overproduc-
ton be curbed.
Parity Formula Revised
However, the parity formula
was rejigged to raise prices all
along the line for field crops and
a boost likewise was written in
for dairy products.
The Senate also needed the de-
mand of the powerful American
Farm Bureau Federation to put
farmer participation in the soil
bank, a key feature of the legis-
lation. on a compulsory rather
than the voluntary basis urged
by the administration. The soil
bank program entails an acreage
cutback in productive land as
the principal means of coping
with price-depressing commodity
SURPRISES. Farmers will be paid
for reducing production in the
program which is expected to
take more than so million acres
of cropland out of cultivation.
The Senate measure must be
harmonized with a bill passed
by the House at the last ses-
sion, which deals solely with the
issue of price supports and pro-
poses to return to the high rigid
scale of 80 per cent of parity for
the basics which was replaced
by the GOP-backed flexible
scale, graded downward, in the
law enacted in 1854. Parity is
the fair return base for the
farmer.
Will Insist on Rigid Props
Agriculture Committee Chair
man Cooley, Democrat, North
Carolina. who will head the
House farm bill conferees, has
said that the House will insist
on retention of the high rigid
scale.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son has promised to recommend
a presidential veto if the legis-
lation. when completed, contains
the rigid support level.
President Eisenhower reviewed
the legislation with Mr.. Benson
and Republican congressional
leaders this morning, but there
was nothing to indicate the
Presidents course.
Representative Martin, the
House minority leader, said he
believed the President would re-
serve a decision until he sees
what emerges from conference.
Hope to Modify Bill
Senator KnoWland of Califor-
mia, the Senate minority leader,
said that it is the hope of every
body, including the President,

Turkish Rioters Loot
Smash Cyprus Shops
Outburst

N1COS1A, cyprus, Mar. ZU
P).-Gangs of Turkish Cypriot
youths stormed through Nicosia
today looting and smashing
Greek shops.
Inflamed by reports of a
Greek attack on Turks IN the
village of Vasilia yesterday.
Turkish mobs started gathering
in the capitals Konak Square
this morning.
Police used tear gas to dis
perse them, but they reformed
and stormed out of the square
toward the neighboring Mosque
of st. Sophia. largest on the
island.
Leaving a trail of debris and
shattered glass in its wake, the
mob eventually was broken up
by police cars and it scattered
into the narrow side streets.
Appeal Is Ignored
Before it was scattered, the
mob, which numbered about 500
at the time, beat up a Greek
Cypriot photographer who was
swapping pictures of the demon
Stration. He was not seriously
injured.
The youths ignored a loud
speaker appeal from Ahmed
Zaim, NicoSia's assistant district
commissioner, to disperse to save
the Turkish quarter from being
placed under curfew.
While Mr.. Zaim was speaking.
the mob stoned a Greek bus
going through the square.
Mr.. Zaim, a lawyer, was a
member of the Cypriot Turkish
delegation that visited London
and New York last year to state
the Turks opposition to Greek
claims on Cyprus.
30 Hurt in Vasilia
| British troops ringed Nicosia's
Turkish quarter today in the
wake of the two-hour clash be-
tween Cypriots of Greek and
Turkish origin yesterday In
Vasilia.
More than 80 villagers were
injured in the first major out
break in years between the two
politically hostile groups. The
minority Turks oppose the Greek
islanders campaign to unite
Cyprus with Greece.
Nicosia's entire Turkish quar-
ter was alive today with patrols
of motorized troops and police
on foot.
Steel-helmeted troops broke up
groups of Turks forming in front
of shops and stores. Police
checked all persons and vehicles
going along Kyrenia street where
the Turkish leader, DR.. FAIL
Kucuk, has offices.
DR.. Kucuk and two aides left
for Vasilia to investigate yester-
days outbreak.
Difficult to Restrain
Until now I have been sue
cessful in preventing the Turkish
community from taking repris-
ais" DR.. Kucuk said. But if
affairs continue like this. it will
be difficult for me to restrain
them from going into action
against the Greeks
Tempers had cooled briefly
after the Vasllia battle under the
calming words of a Turkish po-
.litical leader and Greek express
sions of regret.
Between 5000 and 5000 Turk
Iish Cypriots gathered in Nicosia
last night to demand reprisals
against the Greek Cypriots. They
dispersed when DR.. Kucuk as

been killed and the British gov
.ernment had promised vigorous
action against rioters.

Ensemble. In forming this group,
she has relied on the several sep

to her phenomenal success. Each

not only for vocal qualifications,
but for imagination, originality
and dramatic expression. Each
must provide a distinct color for
the vocal canvas. One is valuable
for ability to project the humorous,
another for deeply religious feel
