They will buy from grain dealers who in turn will gut supplies, from the government. Last year 'grains were distributed largely through government agencies, including local farmer committees. Complaints Recalled The 1953 program drew complaints that private feed dealers in many areas thereby suffered serious losses of business. Prices which farmers will pay for the drought-relief feed will vary from time to time as well as by areas, just as normal market prices vary. The government will pay 60 cents for 100 pounds toward the cost, regardless of market prices.

Last year, the price farmers paid for the relief feed was the same in all designated areas and at all times. The government has not announced yet whether it will offer to buy beef processed from cattle forced to market from drought areas. Last year it bought more than 300 million pounds of beef in an effort to bolster prices. The beef was donated to the school lunch program and relief agencies, or was shipped abroad to aid the needy. DECISION SPLIT NEW YORK, Aug.

Frankie Fernandez of Honolulu Hawaii, won a ten-round split decision Monday night over Llvlo Mln- elll, Bronx, N. in the televised welterweight feature bout 'at St. Nicholas Arena. By DOROTHY MANNERS (For Louella Parsons) HOLLYWOOD, Aug. Director Robert Wise has acquired 'Man Of The Century," Irving Wallace's film biography of one of thu world's greatest men, Dr.

Albert Schweitzer. And to play the role of the great medical-missionary, he eecks John Forsythe, currently such a sensation as the American officer in Teahouse Of The August Moon" on Broadway. Dr. Schweitzer lives in French Equatorial Africa where he has made great discoveries in tropic medicine. His, perhaps, are the greatest contributions to mankind since Pasteur lived.

He is a medical authority of the highest standing, a leading clergyman, a giant of the literary since 1912 he has lived in the wilds of Africa where he is devoting his life for the good of men. John Huston writes from Ireland: "Greg Peck can stand the pain of having his leg strapped behind him for 'Moby Dick' for just about twenty-minutes at a time. We have a doctor on the set all the time he's strapped up. "It's practically the same situation we had with Jose Ferrer making "Moulin Rouge." How do I get tangled up with these peg-leg characters? Must ask my psychiatrist." The stags who have been calling the beauty contest winners at the Ambassador Hotel arc in for a disappointment. The girls, including winner Miriam Stevenson and runnereup Maria Rocha and Virginia Lee, move to the well-chaperoned Studio Club next week for the duration of their U-I movie contracts.

I hear that Maria Rocha (Miss Brazil) is causing the most comment around the studio just as she was the chief crowd pleascr during the contest in Long Beach. But there is no rivarly between the gals, who are roommates, or will be again when Miriam returns from a short visit with her family in South Carolina. SCHOOLBOARD CONTINUED PROM FIRST PAGE the pay for the condition they do better work In the future. Increase Janitors formerly receiving $187 monthly will receive $200. Helpers who received $161 will receive $175.

Chairman Middleton commented: "I don't think $10 a month will make a good janitor out of a bad one." His words were echoed by Trustee Young. A formal request for the raise, signed by janitors, was read to the board. It pointed, out that the janitor-custodians "pledge renewal of effort" to do better. Much Dlftscuftged Topic Janitor service in the schools has been a much discussed topic at board meetings in recent months. Criticism has come from various sources.

Trustee Maco Stewart suggested I that principals be made the jan-' itors' hiring and firlnc powers. H. E. Smallin, maintenance supervisor, is the director of custodians. A look at the new board policies tentatively adopted, however, showed janitors to be responsible to both the supervisor Snd the principals.

Supt. Norwood reported that Miss Bette Ann Clampitt, who had been awarded a Jim Collins scholarship by the board, had submitted a letter relinquishing her scholarship. It was noted that Miss Jo Anno Allen was the board's next choice but had not received a scholarship due to the limited number awarded. So the trustees voted to award the scholarship to Miss Allen.
