The U. s. Dept. of Agricult-
ure has announced the increase
IN grade loan rates as 'necesS-

Most of the increase is being
placed on the medium and
lower grades. Loan rates for
most top grades remain about
the same as last year.
The 2.4-cent increase in
supports, if translated into
equally higher prices, would
increase the income of growers
by S28.8 million. This figure
is based on 1900 million

The Department determined

named in a $150,000 damage
suit brought by a broker who
was Jailed for an hour after a
dispute over a ballot, has filed
a counter claim for $25,000.
Mrs. Dolores McMurray, who
was sued along with two other
election judges q week after the
November 7 election, said Will
lard Van Valkenburgh "vio-
lently showed" her away from
the ballot box.
The counterclaim was in an
swer to Mr.. Van Valkenburgh's
suit charging that Mrs. Nc
Murray and two other election
judges conspired to deprive him
Of his civil rights under the
Fourteenth Amendment.
Mr.. Van Valkenburgh was
sentenced to one hour in Jail
under a Virginia statute which
requires that ballots be handed
to election officials. He had in
sisted on depositing the ballot
in the box himself.

force against her. He said she
approached him without iden-
tifying herself and their hands
met over the ballot box"
