1 TTr ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1953 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 3C THOMAS L. STOKES Anger at Benson's Conservation Policy ART MUSEUM DRAWS AN EXPERT'S PRAISE Seminary Head, Speakers MARQUIS CHILDS Behind the Farm Revolt Radio Panel Agrees Much Van Gogh Show Crowds Well Handled, British Visitor Says. WASHINGTON.

STILL ANOTHER PRAIRIE fire Is licking around the heels of the currently beleaguered figure of Secretary of Agriculture Benson, who is harassed by farmer complaints of falling rices and Inadequate federal drouth relief. WASHINGTON. AS the brickbats descend on him, some of them heaved by members of his own party. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson may be consoled to know that not all the blame is put on him for the defection of farm voters. The politics of low-cost power, over which Secretary Benson has comparatively little jurisdiction, may be just as important a factor as the decline gressional Investigation of his With the change of administration, Dr.

Salter considered leaving the Governme-1 and taking a position he had been offered as president of a southern college. But he told Mr. Coke he would remain if aim was to strengthen the SCS, which he was assured it was. He now knows different. His tenure may not be of long duration because of developing circumstances and previous circumstances, among the latter that last spring Dr.

Salter, because of a matter of health at THE REV. DR. ALFRED O. FUER BRIN ER '(center j. photographed yesterday it Holy Cross Lutheran Church after his installation as fifth president of Concordia Seminary.

Speaker was THE REV. WALTER BAEPLER (left), president of Concordia Seminary, Springfield, and the rite of installation was performed by THE REV, GEORGE WITTMER (right), pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church. Dr. Fuerbringer's father, the late Rev, Dr. Ludwig Fuer-bringer, served as Concordia's president from 1931 to 1945, and his grandfather, the Rev.

Ottmar Fuerbringer, was a founder of the Missouri Synod. in farm prices. In Wisconsin's ninth congres- sional district where a Repub lican was defeated for the first time in history there are 10 rural electric co operatives istrlbuted through the 11 counties com posing the district. Those coops have long discussed the possibility of obtaining low cost power from Fort Ran dall dam in South Dakota Benson. through a grid system which would also tie in the rural electric co-ops in Minnesota.

In both Wisconsin and Minnesota power rates are high. Preference Clause Changed. Built by the Bureau of Reclamation, Fort Randall dam will now dispose of its power under a new ruling issued by the Department of the Interior. This ruling modifies the preference provision under which the low-cost power has gone to co-ops and municipally owned electric systems. With the change surplus power is sold to private utilities through 20-year contracts that are irrevocable.

Furthermore the Bureau of the Budget has cut out most of the rural lines carrying power from Reclamation dams. Up until the Eisenhower Administration, contracts with private utilities were subject to change if preference customers came along needing the power. With the new ruling the co-ops are fearful that they are precluded from further growth. Tudor Makes Decision. While this touches some areas in the Midwest, It Is a vital Issue In the Western states where reclamation is an Important part of the economy.

In Wyoming, for example, about 80 per cent of all power comes from Bureau of Reclamation projects. Under the New Interior Department ruling surplus power from these projects will be sold to private utilities in Denver and Cheyenne. At a recent regional meeting of co-ops in Wyoming, angry protests boiled up over the new policy. At a similar meeting in Billings, a whole series of resolutions was adopted denouncing the power policy of the Administration. Interestingly enough the target of these resolutions was not Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay but Under Secretary Ralph A.

Tudor. To an increasing degree, Tudor is credited with making the basic decisions in the Department while McKay makes speeches. The City Art Mueum's arrangement of the Van Gogh centennial exhibition "is beautifully designed to make clear the artist's stylistic development and to prevent congesti of visitors," Miss Mary Woodall, deputy director of the City Museum and Art Gallery of Birmingham, England, said here yesterday. Her study of the display began Friday. "I had a good opportunity to see what can result at such a showing when the Bimingham museum played host to another outstanding Van Gogh collection six years ago," she said.

"Visitors' enthusiasm was about the same, but we did less well about avoiding congestion." Attendance, rising steadily, totaled 1723 Friday, 3164 Saturday and 6499 yesterday, compared with 4910 the previous Sunday. The show's 181 paintings and drawings are distributed through seven large galleries, with an eighth set aside for lectures, so that visitors' views of the pictures were unobstructed till late afternoon yesterday. About 150 persons yesterday followed Miss Mary Powell, the museum's supervisor of education, on each of her two gallery tours. Because of the hea-y attendance at these lectures. Miss Powell was obliged to cancel her "Masterpiece of the Week" talks.

Miss Woodall is in the United States on a combined lecture tour and an inspection of American museums. "Since yours, like ours, is a truly municipal museum," she said, "I learned much here that will be applicable at home. "Your education program, directed by Miss Powell, is a wonderful model. I plan to incorporate your idea of children's games Into our own offering." The visitor, who holds a doctor of philosophy degree in art history from the University of London, is the author of a life of Thomas Gainsborough published by the Phoenix Press, London, and of "Gainsborough's Landscape Drawings," issued by Faber Faber. She was particularly interested in St.

Louis-owned English landscapes and praised the Museum's Gainsborough landscape as an excellent example of the eighteenth century master's early style. Other weekent visitors Included 36 students from Drury College. Springfield, Mo. To date, about 500 out-of-town visitors have signed the guest register that the museum has provided for the show, which opened Oct. 17.

Because of telephone calls and gallery-goers' requests, the museum yesterday placed on sale 30 color reproductions of famous Van Gogh paintings, Merritt Ilitt. secretary of the museum, reported that heavy buying began at once. The color prints were ob tained from The Netherlands, Germany and importers in this country. They range in price from $4 to $25 and in size from 15x20 inches to 36x29 inches. Included are reproductions of several paintings which are not part of the touring collection.

Among yesterday visitors were many unaccustomed to looking at paintings. A number of these took the reproductions for originals. The display occupies Gallery 14, to the west of the arms and armor room. The museum will be open to- DR, W. H.

CHENERY DEAD; EX-WASHINGTON LIBRARIAN Dr. Winthrop- Holt Chenery, retired Washington University librarian, died Wednesday in Burbank, it was learned here today. He was 81 years old. Dr. Chenery retired in 1938 as head librarian and moved to California.

He came to Washington University in 1905 as an instructor in Spanish and Italian. He was appointed acting librarian in 1911 and head librarian the next year. That same year he was named assistant professor of Spanish and romance philology and elevated to associate professor in 1914. He took leave of absence in 1919, returning in 1927 as head librarian, a post he held until his retirement. U.N.

DAY OF PRAYER HELD -AT ST, LOUIS CATHEDRAL St. Louis Cathedral yesterday held its third annual United Nations Day of Prayer, which began with mass at 5:30 a.m. and continued until 5:30 p.m. Prayers of thanks for a truce in Korea and of hope for world peace in the future were offered in the observance. The Rev.

George J. Willman S.J.. a missionary in the Philippines '-ir 20 years and former prisoner of war of the Japanese, delivered the sermon. FUNERAL OF JOHN MURRAY Funeral services for John E. Murray, father of Associate City Counselor William J.

Murray, will be at 9 a.m. tomorrow at St. Cronan's Catholic Church, 1200 South Boyle avenue, with burial in Resurrection Cemetery. Mr. Murray, 82 years old, died at St.

John's Hospital Saturday following an operation. He was a retired plumber and lived with his son at 4577 Gibson avenue. Surviving are three other sons. James John J. and Edward J.

Murray. activities. The resolution savi that the decision of the President and Secretary McKay to "abandon the Hell's Canyon dam" was based on Tudor's recommendation "despite the fact that Mr. Tudor, as former district engineer of the Corps of Engineers at Portland, had participated in the preparation of the 308 review report which strongly urged the construction of Hell's Canyon dam." Farmers in the Squeeze. In a long list of charges brought against Tudor, he Is accused of pursuing "a policy of wrecking power agencies by firing several thousand people with emphasis on planning personnel, rate and load study experts, power marketing staff and administrative people." The Under Secretary is also charged with advocating "various artificial methods of increasing federal power rates by padding costs by means of higher interest rates on power investment, larger allocation of construction costs to power, allowance for absorbing steam costs of private power corporations and larger subsidies for irrigation." West Holds G.O.P.

Fate. All this may seem pretty abstruse to the Easterner who pushes a button to get his power and never thinks of where it comes from. But in the wide open spaces it is a matter of direct and immediate importance and particularly now that farmers everywhere are caught in the squeeze of rising costs for what they buy and declining costs for what they sell. It is true that voters are few and far between and because population is so thinly distributed the six mountain states send only 13 members to the House of Representatives. Of this total, seven are Republicans and six are Democrats.

In the election last year the Republicans made a net gain of one in these six mountain states. But the House is now divided so narrowly 218 Republicans to 214 Democrats that these seats scattered widely through the geography of the West could actually determine control in the election of 1954. In other words, quite apart from what happens anywhere else, the resentment of farmers and ranchers in the West on the issue of power may seal the fate of the first Republican Administration to hold office in 29 years.

Much progress In Improving inter-group relationships has been made in St. Louis since World War II, leaders of the National Conference of Christians and Jews agreed yesterday on the "operation progress program of Radio Station KWK. However, much remains to be accomplished, particularly in elimination of prejudices ac quired In the home, it was pointed out.

Everett R. Clinchy of New York, president and one of the founders of the conference, said a principal achievement 6ince the conference was established 25 years ago is the "creation of an atmosohere more receptive to ideas of Improved human re lationships. He said he was particularly impressed with steps taken by St. Louis public schools In bring-ine various racial, social and economic groups closer together. Similar progress also has been made in parochial schools, local colleges and universities and industry, he added.

Also participating in me program were Robert H. Mayer, Russell L. Dearmont and Mrs. C. Oscar Lamy, co-chairmen of the N.C.C.J., St.

Louis chapter; Virgil L. Border, director of the conference's central region, and former Mayor Aloys P. Kauf-mann, who served as moderator. Parents' Views Can Warp Children. Priest Says.

Special to the Pot-Dlspteh. CHICAGO, Oct. 26 Children can be warped for life in their attitudes toward racialt religious and ethnic groups by noticing such views in parents, the Rev. Trafford P. Maher, S.J., chairman of St.

Louis University's Department of Education, said here yesterday. Father Maher. sddressing the national executive committee of the American Jewish Committee, said people acquire bigotry and prejudice in many ways. Such attitudes do not come naturally, hut are taught, he emphasieed. "You can do it with words, or simply with gestures," he de-clared.

"A child notices the curl of the lip. the shrug of the shoulders, or the contemptuous phrase on the Hps of Its parenis. As the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined." Father Maher described prog ress at the St. Louts University Human Relations Workshop, of which he has been director for two vears. Declaring the Amer ican dream of equality and justice for all is sometimes badly tarnished in practice, he said: "We are to the best of our modest abilities, to make average human beings aware of the ereat elory of that dream and to give them an understand ing of how they can contribute to its realization in practice.

"What we are aiming at is not more tolerance among various ethnic, racial and religious groups, but a profound understanding of other cultures and religions that will lead to a sincere respect."

Last April he and his top as-listants were removed from Civil Service protection by an order Secretary Benson which was confirmed by the Civil Service Commission in August. Consequently they can be removed at any time, a precarious sort of situation that is not conducive to good morale. Dr. Salter had expected the new Administration to strengthen the SCS, instead of weakening it, on the basis of assurances which, it is learned, he had received last January fnom then Assistant Secretary J.

Coke agreed when he could find a replacement. Technicians Dismissed. If the reorganization plan goes through as drafted, many others will leave the service In the reduction of personnel that is called for, some, like Dr. Salter, after many years in soil conservation work. Dr.

Salter, now 61. came to the department in 1941 after a lone career In agronomy and soil chemistry in various rapacities, including teaching in the University of West Virginia and Ohio State university, where he graduated and did his postgraduate work, and administrative and directorial activities in state extension services of Ohio and North Carolina, among other posts. He is a native of Indiana. All technicians at regional offices would be dismissed with the closing of regional offices. Likewise there would be a reduction of area conservationists from 329 to 236, according to arr analysis just issued in Houston, Texas, by the officers of the National Association of Soil Conservation Districts who met there to draft a report to their membership which is made up of commissioners who are elected by the farmers and operate under state law.

Handicaps Foreseen. In its report, the association, which has been leading the protest against the Benson reorganization proposal, claimed that state extension services are not now equipped to supply the technical services heretofore provided by the regional offices and that, if they do try to do the work, it will cost more than it now does under the regional set-up. The association report also declared that the upstream flood conservation program would be "gravely handicapped" by abandonment of the regional offices and loss of their high-caliber technical services. It is yet possible that the reorganization scheme, which was scheduled originally to take effect around Nov. 1, may be modified.

At least there are indications at the Department that it may be delayed and that, in itself, may forecast alterations. Hv a host-lngontch Photographer. MRS. JAMES M. FRANCISCUS, photographed in 1930.
