Five Illinois farmers are un-
happy about a colleague who
grandly wheeled into town in
a Cadillac to thumb his nose
at farm support programs.
And they have arrived to file
a protest, in a 1859 Chevrolet
bearing a sign that says: We're
five Illinois farmers who could
not afford a Cadillac with our
Federal grain program produc-
ton payments. However, this
paid some current expenses"
We've been mad ever since

Harmon, H., speaking for the
group.
That man" Mr.. Miller re-

who boasted he made the down
payment on a $6,100 Cadillac
with money he got from the
Government for not planting
l04 acres with corn. And he
promised he would pay off the
car with money he expected to
get in the fall for not planting
grain.

erners-Mr. Miller, Russell

Bob Crosby's Daughter
Tilted on Wedding Day

SAN FRANCISCO, July Is
(AP) .-Bandleader Bob Cros-
by'S 27-year-old daughter, Eliz-
abeth Ann, was still a Miss
today and she appeared to be
as much in the dark as anyone
about what happened to her
bridegroom.
Yesterday afternoon the pref
ty brunette, wearing a navy
blue suit, a little flower wreath
hat and a four and a half
carat diamond engagement
ring, arrived at City Hall to
meet H. Frank Jones, 80, q
San Francisco writer. They
were to be married in a civil
ceremony.
She waited with her mother
and stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Van Hook. The ap-
pointed hour Of 3 pm. arrived
but Mr.. Jones did not. She
had called him at 2::30 pm.
"He said that he was just
through with his shower and
that he would take Gao over"
she said.
At $3.50 pm. Miss Crosby
calmly commented, Hes nerv-
ous, like all bridegrooms."
Time passed and the Univer-
sity Of California Journalism
School graduate called Mr..
Jones' flat. No answer. She
called a few friends, too. But
no one was able to locate Jones.
Finally, at 4:25 pm, her
stepfather suggested the we'd
ding party leave City Hall.
AS they walked to the car,
Mr.. Van Hook said to a report
er, She's such a sweet, swell
girl. What are you going to
do with a guy like that?"
The romance has a turbulent
history. Their original engage
ment broke off last February
after what he had termed a
spat with his fiance's family.

They got a sympathetic re-
ception from Senator Douglas.
Democrat of Illinois, and Sec
retary of Agriculture Freeman.
The Illinois group expressed
doubt that Mr.. Smith was a
real farmer" and some aston
iShment at the size Of Mr..
Smiths subsidy. They said
their subsidies we're much
smaller. Mr.. Smith has more
than 1000 acres.
Senator Dougles said the
avearge farm income in Illinois
whose farmers, he said, are
as efficient as farmers in any
other State-amounts to So
240 farm. Only about $4,000
of this is in cash, Senator
Douglas added.
The Illinois men also dropped
in on Mr.. Freeman to tell him
they resented Mr.. Smiths ac-
tions. Mr.. Freeman told them
he appreciated what you men
are doing to try to set the facts
right about the feed grain pro-
gram"
They also tried to see Sen
ator Heating, Republican Of
New York, who has been citing
Mr.. Smiths Cadillac as proof

This job of slicing up. the
city for all elections-presum-
ably for the presidential cleo
ton in 1854, too-would fall to
the Board of Elections.
Accompanying the Presi-
dents bill was a letter from
Walter N. Tobriner, president
of the Board Of Commissioners
strongly urging approval.
Not only would home rule
relieve Congress of the time
consuming burden of legislat-
ing on local matters, Mr.. Tobri-
ner said. but also "inhereni
justice requires that District
residents be given the right tc

Pugach was quoted as telling
the girl:
I'm going to give you three
alternatives. If you sleep with
me one night, I'll forget every
thing, and I won't see you any
more. Or marry me.
IF you don't do either, I'm
going to blind you by acid"
Miss Ross spurned the ulti-
matum.
On June Is. 1859, Miss Riss
answered the door of her moth
er's Bronx apartment. A Negro
caller announced he had a pres
ent to deliver to her. He opened
a dress box. took out a glass
jar filled with lye and hurled
the contents into Miss Kiss
face.
A month investigation,
utilizing court-authorized tele-
phone wiretaps, led to the ar
rest Of Pugach and three Ne
groes-Harden, AL Smith New
kirk and Walter Mcmillan.
Newkirk, described as the
go-between, has pleaded guilty
and awaits sentencing. Nc

A special task force appointed
by President Kennedy to ad-

ment relations in the Federal
Government has launched a
program, says its chairman.
Secretary of Labor Goldberg.
The task force had its first
meeting yesterday. Afterward
Mr.. Goldberg said:
I'VE have adopted q program
and agenda which We believe
will lead to the objective sought
by the President-the partic-
ipation of Federal employees
in the formulation and imple-
mentation of employe policies
and procedures affecting them
in a manner that will contrib
ute positively to the effective
conduct Of public business"
Mr.. Goldberg said the pro-

Public hearings will be held in
the course Of the study. he
said.

climax to one of the weirdest
cases in this city's court an
nails.
The 34-year-old former at
torney, who was judged legally
insane at one point after his
arrest in 1859, has acted the
part throughout. He has
ranted. slashed his wrists and
carried on in court in an un-
precedented fashion at one
time attempting to arrest the
Judge who was trying his case.
Even at the end of his IA
week trial. as Judge Joseph A..
Martins delivered his charge
to the all-male jury, Pugach
acted in eccentric fashion. He
took off his shoes, inspected
them gravely and then put
them back on.

Farm Bill Gets
81 Billion OK
BY the Associated Press

Senate and House conferees
have reached agreement on q
compromise money bill to pro-
vide approximately 81 billion
to run the Agriculture Depart
ment and farm programs in the
year which started July /.
The Senate and House had
passed different versions Of the
bill, and the conferees were
charged with working out a
compromise.
Representative Written,
Democrat of Mississippi, head
of the House delegation, told
reporters both sides had agreed
not to give out details of the
compromise until Monday,
when they will report formally.
From other sources it was
learned that the House con-
ferees had agreed to accept
more than half of about SIC
million in Senate increases in
new cash for farm-program
financing. The House group
also was reported to have ac-
cepted most of a $95-million
Senate increase in loan funds
to bring electric power and
telephone service to rural areas
and to aid tenant and low in
come farmers.
There was less progress on
proposed new general farm
legislation. The House Agri-
culture Committee met behind
closed doors to discuss a bill
pending before it, but members
said afterward they still are a
long way from final action.
A companion bill was ap-
proved two days ago by the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
but Senate debate on it is not
expected to begin until week
after next. The Senate bill
and the House one, too, in it's
present form-omit a key Ken
nedy administration proposal
to allow farmer committees to
draw up price support and con-
troll programs for each COM

Jefferson Place

Another Christmas show
has opened at the Jefferson
Place Gallery, which has
decked its walls with paper
work" by artist members.
The show as a whole is
rather dreary. an effect
which, as the season rolls on,
may be a welcome change
from the commercial gaiety
Of the downtown area. Paper,
here. means collages, water
colors, drawings and prints
having in common only their
common use Of paper in one
way or another. The unity of
the shows idea is therefore
the same unity as a show Of
framed paintings or one of
unframed paintings.
All the same there are a few
nice things present. Robert
Gates has two excellent in
taglio prints and Jacob Kahn

Effect of Kress Gift

The effect on the National
Gallery has been immense,
for the initial gift there came
just as the institution was on
the point of opening with
only its original gift from
Andrew Mellon, superb paint
ings, but only 152 of them. or
about "a works to the acre of
exhibition space. a very low
ratio indeed. The original
Kress gift of 4l6 paintings
and 35 sculptures raised the
ratio appreciably, but it did
more than that. With the ar
rival of the Kress gift the
National Gallery became.
right at its beginning. not a
memorial to the collection Of
a single manS Mr.. Mellon. but
a truly national institution,
open TO the gl1tS OF 0ther COL
lectors.
Outside Of Washington the
effects Of the Kress beni-
ficience have probably been
proportionately even greater.
In many cities the Kress gifts
were the first direct expert
ence of the visual arts of the
great periods. To accept the
gifts, some cities found it
necessary to build additions
to existing museums or even
to build new museum build
ings. Such civic involvement
with art produces a sense of
proprietorship in art for
which there is no substitute.

The emphasis on skill and

gree, tend to move readily into
the white collar jobs which are
opening up," the Labor De-
partment specialists said. But
THE school dropouts swell the
ranks of the unemployed"
Looking ahead. the report
said:
Even if the unemployment
rate should turn downward in
the fourth quarter of 1861 (as
it has done), there is some un-
certainty about when, or if, it
will be reduced to pre-recession
levels. So far, however, it
is clear that q substantial in
crease in gross national prod
uct during the second and third
quarters of 1861 has made no
significant reduction in the rate
Of unemployment"

The Double Gift

The Kress double gift was
so set up that its two parts
the National Gallery and the
regional museums - worked
together at every step. The
foundation worked very
closely with the National, ex-
panding the original Kress
interest in Italian pictures to
to include German, French
Spanish, Dutch and Flemish.
One aim was to fill gaps in
the Nationals collection. AS
new pictures were acquired
for the National. however.
that institution gave back
previous gifts, on a one for
one basis, to the foundation.
The exchanged pictures be-
came available for the re-
gional museums.
The double result has been
a steady strengthening and
refinement Of the Kress COL
lection in the National and,
simultaneously, the enrich
ment TO the regional centers.
Under the circumstances,
1t, is hardly surprising that
the special exhibition does
not compare in quality with
the KresS pictures in the
Nationals permanent COL
lection.

Most Of the material is very

ryman are gay and charming
and Richard Martin has a
single but good drawing Of an
old shack. The main burden
of the show falls on Mar
shall Davis and David
Komuro.
Mr.. Davis operates several
steps above the local interest
illustrator in scenes of Paris
and the New York area

sically the same thing in

shifts to people. Thus, his fine

really a composition Of hu-
man repose and alertness.

not the place, but the place
draws certain people and he
