Benson Blasts
CongressCritics
By the Associated Press

Congress members are acting
to prolong the farm problem
rather than solve it, Secretary
Of Agriculture Benson charged
yesterday.
He issued a statement criti-
Ching the Senate Agriculture
Committee for approving a bill
to hold Government price sup
ports for major crops at no less
than their 1857 levels.
Mr.. Benson also expressed
disappointment at the House
Agriculture Committees action
to block his order reducing
dairy products props from 8:
per cent Of parity to rs pei
cent, the legal minimum
April /.
Unless defeated, this pro.
posed legislation would pro.
long still further the problems
plaguing agriculture" the sec.
Rotary said.
With the support of Presi.
dent Eisenhower, Mr.. Benson
wants authority to lower price
supports generally and ease pro.
duction controls. Their con.
tention is that this will paws
the way for farmers to enlarge
their markets and improve thei'
incomes.
The congressional proposals
Mr.. Benson said, would "inevi.
tably add new costly income.

to be fair to the farmers in re.

Both the House and Senate
Agriculture Committees yester.
day approved bills to give al.
wheat farmers credit for theil
base acreages even If they over.
planted last fall for this years
harvest.
The bills would amend legis-
lation passed last year and pro-
viding that farmer who over

Both delegation chairmen,
however, Blair Lee III and Perry

come-sales tax program In the
vote last night.
Some Montgomery delegates
have said they favor putting
the entire new tax burden on
the income tax.
Ironically Montgomery is one
of the three wealthiest coun-
ties In the Nation in per cap
ita income and by far the
wealthieSt in the State. Fiscal
authorities say the county, with
10 per cent Of the population,
pays IS per cent of the total
income tax in the State.
Mrs. Schweinhaut Speaks
Mrs. Margaret Schweinhaut.
Democrat of MONTGOMERY
County, took the floor last
night to voice opposition to any
tax program not related to
ability to pay. Presumably this
means she cannot accept an
increased income tax rate either
since it provides a fat per-
centage tax on income regard
less Of degree Of wealth.
The final vote on the Nickel
din plan came after the House
had rejected 69-43 a slightly
modified Senate-adopted plan
which adds a 5 per cent surtax
on top of the income tax in
creases and lowers the sales tax
starting point from 81 cents to
80 cents while removing ex-
emptions on restaurant meals.
Strangely enough. the Gov
ernor's plan is being supported
here by Democratic fiscal lead
ers while Republicans are re-
jecting the program. Delegate

Opposes spending Orgy"
Secretary Of Interior Seaton
said in a Chicago speech that q
wild orgy Of public spending"
is not the answer to the m-
employment problem.
you just can't spend your
way to prosperity" Mr.. Seaton
told the Executives Club Of
Chicago.
He said the administration is
ready to take constructive steps,
but he added that the program
would be one placing "the man

Mr.. Seaton said there were
1913 million unemployed in 1888.
and some 10 million still jobless
at the start of World War H.
The present count has sharp

is expected to intensity con-

Gray Is Asked
To Take Action
In Carter Case
The United States Attorneys

The United States Attorneys
ONCE yesterday turned to the
District Corporation Counsel's
office in efforts to place con-
victed rapist Russell E. Carter
in custody.
Faced with a December, 1856.
reversal Of Carter's conviction
for the murder of a 15-year-
old girl in May, 1855. United
States Attorney Oliver Gasch
said he win turn over to Cor
poration Counsel Chester, H.
Gray reports Of two psychiat-
rists from st. Elizabeths Hos
pital.
The reports, made after ex-
aminations Of Carter In De-
cember, show the 2l-year-old
convicted murderer is Of un-
sound mind and should be kept
in custody.
Mr.. Gasch said Mr.. Gray's
office Is the proper agency to
move for o civil commitment Of
Carter to st. Elizabeths
Hospital.
At End Of Rope
This in effect. was an adj
mission by Mr.. Gasch that he
has gone as far as he can go
in trying to prevent Carter's
release TO the community.
Carter was convicted after
pleading innocent by reason Of
insanity when he murdered
Caroline Nelson at her home at
1912 Georgia avenue NV. The
u. 8. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia reversed
his subsequent conviction. bas-
ling its decision on the ground
the Government did not prove
that the crime was not the
product of Carter's mental ILL
ness, as required by q ruling Of
the appellate court.
The court also reversed the
conviction on the ground there
was an unnecessary delay be-
tween the arrest and arraign-
Iment Of Carter-something for
hidden by the Supreme Court
in its Mallory decision Of last
June.
The appellate opinion, which
was not handed down until last
october, also took occasion to
provide an explanation Of the
controversial Durham insanity
rule, handed down by the court
in 1854. It sent Carter's case
back to District Court for a
new trial, but said that, If
prosecutors did not seek a new
trial, they might consider steps
toward a civil commitment Of
Carter.
Rehearing Denied
Mr.. Gasch then moved for a
rehearing by the full nine
Judge bench of the appellate
court, but this was turned down
in November by a 7-to-2 vote
of the court.
The psychiatric examination
of Carter last December 90
by Drs. Mauris Platkin and
j. T. Cody was done at Mr..
Gasch's request,
DR.. Cody in the report re-
leased yesterday said Carter is
suffering from a Sociopathic
personality disturbance and
that he Is Jealous and emo
tionally immature, at the mercy
Of his impulses" The report
SalQ ne is IN nee0 OF nOSplCal
care and treatment "for an in
definite period"
DR.. Platkin agreed with DR..
Cody that the commission of
crime would be- rendered
probable" II Carter were re-
leased from custody.
In turning over the PSYCHE
atric reports to Mr.. Gray, Mr..
Gasch said he is abandoning
"any further criminal pro-
ceedings" against Carter. How
ever. he will not move for dis
missal Of the murder indict-
ment still outstanding.

WHAT ABOUT THIS SAFETY
RITZ

Farm machinery, combined
with carelessness, to kill 1000
farm people in this country last
year, according to William Lar
sen, extension agricultural en-
gineer at the University of Della
ware.
Those 1000 farm people can't
benefit by reading about safety
this year you can.
Looking back on the death of
a child is a very hard way to
learn about the danger of allow
ing children to operate or ride on
tractors, Larsen says.
You may think you are being
kind by letting a youngster drive
or ride a tractor. Actually, you
are giving the child a tool to
MAIN or kill himself. 1t doesn't
always happen to somebody
else" There are 1000 American
farm homes who learned that the
hard way last year.
The week of July 20 has been
declared National Farm Safety

enhower. Larsen says this is a
reminder to the survivors of 1857

comments. After these recon-
mendations are reviewed, the
program will be put in final
form and contracts will be made

follows:
/. The proposed national aver
age annual rental payment to
participating farmers will be
$3.50 per acre as compared with
$40 per acre in previous years
