with one Republican joining Al
Democrats. Eight Democrats
voted with 80 Republicans
against the measure. 1t now
goes to the House, where a
similar bill has been approved
by the Agriculture Committee
and awaits floor action.
The new program would. be
put to a vote of farmers, with
"a two-thirdS majority needed
for adoption. The main feature
of the bill is higher price sup
ports and substantially reduced
production quotas for wheat,
corn, grain sorghum and barley.
If growers reject the pro-
gram, production would be un-
limited but price supports
would be substantially lower
and the Secretary of Agricul-
ture would be authorized to
dump some Of the present sur
plus stocks on the market,
further depressing prices.
Penalties Increased
Other features of the bill /:
/, Increased penalties for
sale Of excess production OF
these crops.
2. A 25-acre exemption from
production controls for farm
ers raising wheat or feed
grains for their own livestock.
8. Payments to wheat growers
who divert wheat land for three
years.
4. A $10-million pilot pro-
gram for assisting in establish
ment of recreation facilities on
land removed from crop pro-
duction.
Burgeoning farm surpluses
prompted Mr.. Kennedy's plea
for stricter production controls.
He also sought controls on oats
and rye, but the Senate ex-
empted those crops from the
bill.
Administration officials hope
that acceptance of the stricter
controls will lead to eventual
reduction of surplus wheat and
feed grains, now valued at SIS
billion. The bill would set a
minimum on wheat of / billion
bushels instead of the present
program with a minimum of
SIS million acres.
Storage Cut Seen
Senator Ellender, Democrat
Of Louisiana, said the bill also
would mean a sharp cut in the
approximately So billion a year
the Government spends for
storing and handling the sur
plus stocks. Senator Ellander
led the fight for the mandatory
controls after the Senate Agri-
culture Committee, which he
heads, had removed them from
the bill by a 9-8 vote.
Republicans said the bill will
lead to Government regimen

Gets First Biq
Test Monday
Maryland Assembly
To Be Pressed
To Approve Bill
By PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, May 90
Maryland lawmakers searched
their consciences and their
lawbooks today to find an an
swer to the States reappor-
tionment problem.
Amid considerable grumb-
ling, the General Assembly went
home yesterday with a warn
ing that administration leaders
will put on the pressure next
week until a bill to reapportion
membership in the House of
Delegates emerges.
Gov. Tawes' bill to give the
urban areas more House mem
bers will get its first major
test Monday in the House Ju-
dietary Committee.
The committee heard the bill
explained yesterday as one of
the first orders of business
after a special session of the
General Assembly got under
way. Montgomery and Prince
Georges would each get four
more delegates.
Rural Areas Reluctant
Some rural lawmakers were
all for throwing the reappor-
tionment issue back into the
laps of the courts, but they
appeared to be in the minority.
But most OF the legislators
from the rural areas seemed
inclined to give the urban Sec
tionS as little as they could
without incurring further
wrath of the courts.
The General Assembly was
called in special session under
a mandate of the Anne Arun-
del Circuit Court to reappor-
tion the House of Delegates in
time to be effective for the
November elections. 1t appar-
emily will have to be done by
June / if the urban areas are
to be able to elect additional
members this fall.
House Democratic Majority
leader A. Gordon Boone of Bal
timore County warned House
members he is going to hold
their noses to the grindstone
until a bill is produced.
Gov. Tawes' bill would give
the four suburban counties and
Baltimore City a total of 19I
additional delegates as a stop
gap measure. But in the long
run, the city would loose dele
gates under the permanent
plan which would go into effect
four years from now.
Open Grumbling
, The rural legislators were
hoping to capitalize on Balti-
more's ultimate loss to win city
legislators to their side. Many
of the city legislators grumbled
openly about the bill, and sew
eral said they would not go
along with it in its present
form.
In a day in which there was
little agreement on anything,
another sore spot stuck out in
the administrations bill. This
is a provision which would have
the Democratic and Republican
committees nominate candi-
dates for the new seats in the
November election.

A Royal Laotian military

that pro-Communist troops are

1t was the first report of
rebel troop movements since the
Pathet Lao broke the year-old
cease fire two weeks ago and
scored sweeping gains in north

announcement of the rebel
movement in the south came in

from Bangkok that pro-Com-

Two Columns Reported
The Vientiane spokesman,
Col. T'hongphanh Knoksy said
two Pathet Lao columns are
marching in the direction of
Saravane-"one is 36 miles
northeast and the second %
miles to the southeast Of the,
town"
He said government and
rebel Pathet Lao patrols have
clashed, but that the bulk of
the opposing forces had not
made contact.
There was no immediate in
dication Of what effect, if any,
the reported rebel movement
would have on neutralist Prince
5ouvanna Phouma's efforts to
form a coalition government Of
Communists. neutrals and
pro- Communists.
Prince Souvanna arrived at
rebel headquarters at Khang
Khay last night after an ex-
tended stay in Europe and Is
expected to begin negotiations
again next week. The United
States hopes such a coalition
government will end the Lao
tian civil war and eliminate
the need for United States

a rehearing of the above cap
toned case It was signed by
S. W. Tucker, acting for coun

be reached for comment.
Mandanius Denied
| In the petition for a writ of

! that the Virginia Constitution
| placed a mandatory conlpulsion
on supervisors to levy and APP

In denying The petition last

Court said the Constitution vests

/ affirmed its previous holdings of
this discretionary nature of the
right, power or authority of the
board Of supervisors to deter
mine what sums. if any. should
/ be raised by local taxation for
the support Of public schools.
The mandamus petition relied
on Sections l29 and l36 Of the

port, The Supreme Court said Of
Section 100, Whatever may be
the duty imposed under Section
l29 of the Constitution, that sec

A DISARMAMENT CONFER
ENCE Of II nations appointed by

Of hating the nuclear arms race
because of the failure of prelim-

cord. Soviet Froeign Minister
Gromyko held to the usual Sow
let position that Western propo-
sails for inspection are unaccer-

West a chance to spy inside
Russia.
RUSSIA sent a note to UN
Secretary General U Thant this
week outlining its views on nu-
clear disarmament. 1t proposed,
among other things. that the nu-
clear powers should agree not
to give their atomic secrets to
other nations and that nations
which do not have nuclear Wea-
pons should rot try to acquire
Or build them. Although U. S.
officials said they saw little new
in the Soviet note, it has appar-
emily led them to hope that an
agreement may be reached in
Geneva to block the spread of
nuclear weapons to other ma
tons. Some also believe an in
Spection system acceptable to
the Russians may eventually be
worked out through long negot-
