The United States has consulted tee Soviets and other U.N. dele- Rations about the chance of con- vening the 24-nation space com-; mittee before the end of January. The Soviets reportedly balked at, giving a definite answer until they set instructions from Moscow. The General Assembly unar.i- measly approved formation of the permanent space committee last month after the United States and the Soviet Unicn broke a long- standing deadlock over how many Communists and non-Communists should serve cn the body. Agreement was reached after the United States consented to have seven Communist and five neutral nations appointed to the 24-naticn committee along with 12 Western nations.

MARTIN WASHINGTON AP 1 The Eisenhower administration has no plans to send Congress any new-proposals on wheat or other major farm surplus problems, says Sen. George D. Aiken R-Vt Aiken quoted Secretary of Agriculture E.ra Tafl Benson as taking that stolid Friday when Benson met with six members of the Senate Agriculture Committee. Aiken is the committee's senior GOP member.

Aiken said Benson's view was that administration proposals on farm surpluses recommended last year, but rejected by Congress, still stands. Sen. Karl E. Mundt iR-SDi said after the unannounced meeting that "there was no meeting of minds." The House Agriculture Committee has invited Benson to appear next Thursday to present farm legislation proposals. Chairman Harold I).

Cooley D-NC said he hoped Benson would suggest "something other than his repeated recommendations of former years that farm prices be reduced. and that restraints on production be removed. This negative policy already has pressed agriculture to the edge of disaster." Chairman Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) of the Senate Agriculture Committee Friday introduced his own proposed solution to the wheat surplus problem. His bill was taken largely from a Senate-House compromise farm bill that President Eisenhower vetoed last year.

The measure proposes to link a graduated reduction in wheat price stipports with a cutback of up to 25 per cent in planting allotments. It also would tighten present penalties for cver-procluction Eisenhower, in his State of the Union Message Thursday, referred to farm overproduction and surpluses. lie blamed them on old farm laws and called for a program that would give farmers greater freedom to make production plans.

'AP If concert pianist Rudolf Firkusny has an artistic headache today, he can certainly blame it on what happened Friday night in the high school auditorium here. About 700 persons gathered to rear Firkusny in a program sponsored by the Community Concert Assn. The pianLst started playing Beethoven's "Variation on a Theme" and everybody was enjoying it.

Then Firkusny fingered an E-flat. It rattled. The pianist stopped playing, gesturing helplessly. A member cf the concert committee rushed onstage and inspected the piano innards. She triumphantly came up with a match book cover.

Firkusny continued, this time with a Schubert number. All went well until the piano began buzzing when certain keys were struck. Another piano inspection followed. On the strings, under the metal plate cf the instrument, was found a metal New York State auto license tab. How the "foreign objects" got in the piano was a mystery to the concert committee.

Firkusny, Czech-born American citizen, went on to complete his program and added several encores to make up for the interruption Pastor Must Face Illicit Sex Charge KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) The Rev. Clinton Bell must face trial on charges of having illicit sex relations with girls in his congregation, but the case w-on't be heard in Howard County. Judge Burchasd Davidson Fni-day overruled a defense motion for dismissal of the charge but upheld a motion for a change of venue and sent the case to Cass Circuit Court at Logansport. The defense asked the change on the ground that there was prejudice against Bell in Howard County.

He is charged with assault and battery with intent to gratify sexual desires. The affidavit was filed after a 17-ycar-old girl told of intimacies with the minister. She said the relationship started when she was 15 years old. The Howard County grand jury investigated but returned no indictment against Bell. Seven key witnesses, all women and girls in Bell's congregation, report 1 left town and did not appear before the grand jury.

The minister's church, the Assembly, dismissed him as pastor recently. on Pac 4 LOCAL WEATHER -J Man Killed by Car On U.S. 40 Saturday RICHMOND. Ind. AP A man who wore an identification bracelet bearing the name Martin A.
