closed.
Site Changed
Previously, school officials had
PLANNED to build the new school,
to cost nearly 81 million, on a
site on Mount Olivet road NE.
But the site was changed after
strong pressure from Health
Schools parents and from the
House Appropriations Commit
Itee, which dropped the project
from the city appropriation bill
because of the dispute over the
location.
While the House dropped the
project, members indicated pri-
lvately they would be willing to
restore it if agreement could be
reached quickly.

Hermann Field Returns
After 7-Yeor Absence

NEW YORK, Mar. q R-
Hermann Field. former Cleve-
land architect who spent five
years as Polish prisoner, re-
turned unannounced on the liner
Queen Mary today after an alb
sence of nearly seven years.
He said his brother, Noel,
another principal in the long
mystery of the disappearing

in Budapest, Hungary.
When asked whether Noel still
is a prisoner, Mr.. Field replied,

said he writes to his brother &C.
casionally to keep the lines
open"
Mr.. Field. 46, was accompanied
by his London-born wife, Kate
and two sons, Hugh. IL and Allen,
10.
Disappeared in 1949
Noel Field, former United
States State Department official,
and his wife dropped out of sight
in May, 1949, in Communist
Czechoslovakia. Hermann was
arrested three months later in
Poland while searching for his
brother.
The Poles released Hermann in
October, 1854, after. he said, he
spent five years in a cellar as a
prisoner of the Polish security
police. Noel and his wife, Herta,
were freed by the Hungarians a
month later, but they decided to
stay in Hungary and requested
political asylum.
Hermann Field received $50
900 from the Polish government
as compensation for his impris-
onment, and $500 more for
medical treatment during con-
valescence after his release.

of the Greenbrier Hotel were
Canadian Prime Minister Louis
IS. st. Laurent, Mexican President
Adolfo Ruiz Confines and their
stats.
Mr.. Eisenhower, as host, had
the privilege of guiding the con-
Iversation. At least some of his
guests. however. hoped for a dis
cussion of the boiling Middle
Eastern situation, the Soviet
Unions debunking of Stain and
the Far Eastern outlook as ap-
praised by Secretary of State
Dulles on his recent tour of the
Orient.
"Get-Acquainted" Affair
This tended to widen the hori-
IONS Of the conference, which
Mr.. Eisenhower has billed as q
"get-acquainted" affair.
An Introductory meeting seemed
justified, because never before
have the leaders of the three
governments in North America
held such a conference. And
never before has a Canadian
Prime Minister met a Mexican
President.
But the fact is that the three
governments have a minimum
of interests in common. The
United States has many relations
with Canada and many with
Mexico. but there are few con-
facts between Canada and Mex
leo.
When reporter asked what
common problems Canada and
Mexico have, a Canadian diplo-
mat replied: 1.-THE United
States"
Informality is Keynote
All was properly neighborly
this morning, however, when the
delegates stepped onto the lawn
in front of the Greenbrier to
pose for news photographers
and two hundred camera carry
ing visitors at the elegant resort
hotel.
Secret Service agents kept
most of the tourists at a dis
lance, but a number of persons
with box cameras got among
the news photographers and
snapped away.
Comparatively lax security
regulations around the hotel
and on the golf course where
Mr.. Eisenhower played yester-
day seemed appropriate to the
studied informality of this con-
ference, which the President
likes to compare to a man invit-
ing in two of his neighbors for
dinner.
Ihere are many indications
that members of the Canadian
delegation are not too impressed
with this whole project. Tradi-
tionally. Canada has avoided
intimate involvement with Latin
American countries. It has re.
fused to join the Organization Of
American States.

the other hand. is glorying ir

Benson Plea
limiting Veto
Is Failure
BY JOSEPH A. FOX

The Senate House Farm Bill
Conference Committee today ig-
nored Administration objections
and voted for high level COM
modify support prices that would
add millions of dollars to farm
belt income.
Despite a letter from Secre-
tary of Agriculture Benson
sharply criticizing the pending
legislation and raising the pos
sibility of a veto unless improve
ments were made, the commit
tee voted for a one-year restora-
ton of 80 per cent of parity
supports for the basic commodi-
ties-wheat, cotton, corn, pea
nuts and perhaps rice.
The committee also voted for
a parity base that would nullify
a 5 per cent reduction sched-
uled to go into effect on this
years crops. Parity is a fair
return base for the farming in
dustry.
The parity changes-if accept
ed by Senate and House-would
mean an increase of from $1.81
to 1925 per bushel for wheat and
81 40 to$1 SO for corn this year.
There would be corresponding
increases in other grains.
Freezing" Device Hit
| Senate Agriculture Committee
Chairman Ellender, Democrat Of
Louisiana, who is presiding over
the conference, said one price,
raising device of the Senate bill
had been virtually knocked out.
This would have frozen" huge
IGovernment-held stocks of wheat
and cotton so they might not be
considered as surplus when sup
port prices are calculated by the
Department of Agriculture. The
completed bill, however, may
keep corn stocks segregated.
The conference also decided to
take off the dollar limit which
the Senate bill proposed to apply
to price support payments and
, to the benefits for farmer par
ticipation in the soil bank-a
crop-reduction device designed
to get rid of surplus.
The Senate bill, which the
conferees are seeking to recon-
cile with an earlier bill passed
by the House, proposed a $780,
900 limit on individual support
payments. It also would have
cut to $25, 900 the top benefit
payable to soil bank participants
who cut back major crops, and
$500 for those converting crop
land to a conservation reserve.
! Senator Ellender said the 80
per cent support proposal which
has been foughv by the admins
tratlon as a spur to over-produc-
ton actually represented "a
compromise within the COM
mittee."
Thursday Passage Hoped
The Louisiana Senator also
said that the committee Is
working toward a goal of pre-
senting its report to Congress by
tomorrow night so that the farm
bill might be passed by both the
Senate and House Thursday
before the Easter recess starts.
Earlier today Secretary of Ag-
Iriculture Benson urged Congress
to pass a Sound" bill that can
be signed by the President"
Mr.. Benson's views were con-
tanned in 20-p letter to the
Conference Committee.
Mr.. Benson did not mention
directly the possibility of veto
unless changes are made in the
bill, but the implication of his

to raise the authorized Federal
share to $24 million. or by 81
million more than was voted
earlier by the House. The Senate
figure is 81 million above the
present ceiling.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee sale
he hoped the conferees coulc
meet later in the day and that
q final bill could be sent to the
White House before Congress
starts its Easter recess on Friday
Named as House managers on
the bill were Representative
Smith, Democrat of Virginia,
chairman of the House District
Fiscal Subcommittee, and Repre-
sentatives Harris, Democrat OF
Arkansas, and O'Hara. Repub-
lican of Minnesota.
Voted without Change
The revised measure won Sen
ate approval yesterday with lit
tie difficulty. The Senate Dis
trict Committee plan was adopted
without a change.
Aside from the Senate increase
In the authorized Federal share,
the only other change made was
to exempt rented linens, diapers,
rented uniforms and the like
from a new 2 per cent sales tax
on rented tangible personal
properties.
This had been recommended
by the Senate District Commit
tee and, like the increase in the
Federal share, was adopted with
out a dissent. These changes
sent the bill back to the House.
District officials, worried over
city financing, voiced gratiflca-
ton over the Senate vote for the
higher share and the fact that
only minor other change was
involved.
Senator Morse. Democrat Of
Oregon, who last week organ
lied the revolt against the par
simonious policy" of Congress as
to the Federal share, tried yes
terday to persuade the Senate
to knock out some of the sales
tax increases, but failed.
He denounced the sales taxes
as regressive and unjust and not
based on ability to pay. He
struck out particularly against
the proposal. now approved by
both the House and Senate to
raise 100000 more a year from
the sales tax on meals by lower
ing the exemption from so cents
to Is cents.
Hits Higher Liquor Tax
He also hit proposals to raise
taxes on liquor, wine and beer
because, he said, these were sales
taxes and would be passed along
to the consumer. The increase
in the tax on beer. he suggested
could lead to bootlegging and
home brew. He asked that the
proposed beverage tax increase
be cut in half.
He also moved to strike from
the bill the entire section pro-
posing the 2 per cent sales levy
on rented tangible personal
properties.
All these moves were rejected
