Thursday, August 14, 1958 Final Edition Number 253 COMPROMISE FARM MEASURE PASSE McGovern Files $250,000 Libel Suit Against Newsletter Writer WASHINGTON (0 Rep. George McGovern (D-SD) Thursday sued the editor of a Washington Farm Newsletter for $250,000, saying the editor accused McGovern falsely of sponsoring a Communist-f group. McGovern, describing the accusation as a political smear, filed the suit in district court against Glen Martz. McGovern said Martz has charged in print that McGov sponsored "a Communist front known as the American Peace Crusade" and that Martz had mailed this charge to citizens of South Dakota.

McGovern said he has never au- thori2ed the use of his name by any sticft'group and added "I am taking "this extreme legal action In the interest of protecting my family from the distress of slander. "I am getting sick and tired of being forced to prove that I am a loyal American every time an election comes around," he said. McGovern "Martz himself is a very small potato, but I have reason to believe he is the tool of others." McGovern said Martz based his charges on -a news report from the Dally Worker (Communist, newspaper now defunct) that was reprinted in a committee report of the House Un-American Affairs Committee in 1951. The committee report, McGovern said, carried a clear warning that many of the names used on the rolls of front organizations were used without the knowledge of those involved. The committee chairj man and members, McGovern said, affirmed that McGovern's name had been placed on American Peace Crusade petitions without his knowledge.

Robert Ellsworth, district sales manager, said this did not rule out the possibility that there might be travelers from this area on the plane.

"But it is extremely doubtful," he said. "None of the names given by people who have called our office match those on the passenger list." The first list available at the district office here carried no addresses. None of the names were listed in local booking records Pen Inmates' Tax Refund Scheme Probed SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) State and federal officers are vestigating a scheme throug! which six Folsom Prison inmate are reported to have received nonexistent 1957 earn- ngs. Richard A.

McGee, state director of corrections, said at least one of the convicts had been in prison since 1952. Tentative, estimates are that the fraudulent refunds totaled $1,600. The convicts' names were not released. Warden Robert A. Heinze of Folsom said federal internal revenue agents will check all refunds made to prisoners this year.

The scheme involved filling in a W2 form, used by employers to report earnings and withholding tax, and reporting earnings up to $300. The phony forms were attached to regular income tax returns and forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service. The refund claims were based on statements (hat income tax was deducted for the first few months of the year, and the come stopped when the man went to prison, thus entitling the convict to a refund of money takei out for taxes.

The United States is hopeful that this force President Eisenhower called it "a great surge" can be persuaded to provide the energy for a stable community of Arab nations. To this end, the United States has pledged support to whatever feasible economic goals the Arabs may feel suit their needs. The Soviet Union, moving cautiously in a dangerous situation, says it too is in favor of econom ic betterment of a long-neglected backward area. But many of its policies have left'little doubt that communism would prefer to keep the area in ferment and off bal ance. The third contestant is Gama Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic.

The major effect of new farm legislation will be to forestall sharp cuts due next year In planting allowances for cotton and rice farmers. It would peg cotton acreage at 16,000,000 acres, and rice at this year's level. The compromise also extends the Wool Subsidy Act for another three years, and approximately doubles the amount of money available for price-support payments.

Muilenburg Senate Approves Broad Measure To Aid Education By JOHN CHADWiCK WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has passed a broad federal aid to education bill designed to ielp meet the challenge flashed by Soviet scientific advances. The bill was passed 62-26 last night after a session lasting 14 hours. While generally similar to a measure passed by the House last week, there are differences that remain to be compromised, Cost of the Senate bill was estimated at about $1,300,000,000.

The House measure would cost about 910 million dollars. A feature of the Senate bill is provision for the award of about college scholarships annual- to outstanding students, particularly in the fields of science, mathematics and foreign langu ages, The House eliminated competitive scholarships, voting instead to earmark the money for a studen 1 loan program.

A. M. Derr, who wants to legalize gambling in Idaho but says he's not a gambler himself, holds a slim margin for the Democratic lubernatorial nomination. Unofficial returns from all but 8 of the 898 precincts reporting in Tuesday's primary election give Derr 25,598 votes and his nearest contender, State Sen. Max Hanson of Fail-field, 25,434.

Neither concedes and the winner will not be determined until the official canvass Aug. 23. Even then there may be a recount because it's so close. The Republican candidate is Gov. Robert E.

Smylie. He was unopposed. But he opposes gambling. Derr said during the campaign that he had been told he was favored to win in betting circles by odds of 6-1. Did he take any of that "No," Derr replied.
