MARTIN WASHINGTON Iff) The government made a bid today for broadened export markets for livestock feed grains in an effort to reduce its pile of farm surpluses. oats and rye from government stocks wiil be offered for the time being to private exporters at prices ranging from 10 to 15 cents a bushel below domestic market prices. These discounts are designed to enable exporters to compete with grain being sold by other countries. The Agriculture Department, in announcing this p-ogram, placed no limitations o. countries to which the grain could be sold.

Mexico may buy considerable corn. Others on Cut-Rate Basis The department previously had placed wheat, butter, cheese, dried milk, grain sorghums, cottonseed oil and flaxseed on a cut-rate basis for foreign buyers. Little American feed grain has been moving abroad because U. S. prices, propped up by government farm price support programs, are above world prices.

The same situation applied in the case of dairy products being offered at reduced products being offered at reduced prices. In making sales at such cut-rate prices, the government takes a loss between costs under the support programs and the prices it gets from exporters. In the case of corn, for example, the loss will be about 22 cents a bushel on the basis of current prices. Losses on wheat range from 41 to 51 cents a bushel. Butter is being offered for 35 cents below government cost.

Subject to Changes For the time being, corn, barley and rye will be offered for export at 15 cents below the domestic price and oats at 10 cents below. These price discounts are subject to such changes as may be necessary to keep the export prices in line with world prices. The government now owns about 392 million bushels of corn, 2,600,000 of barley, 3,700,000 of oats and 562,000 of rye. Additional quantities of these grains are stored under price support loans to growers an'd they may eventually wind up in government-hands. front porch, when Mrs.

Greenland, as was her custom, made a U-turn at the end of Gilman, preparatory to parking in front of the home. Apparently the accelerator of the car remained open, or Mrs. Greenland's foot slipped from brake pedal to accelerator, causing the car to plunge forward. It went over the curb amcl through shrubbery at the front of the lawn. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, but it is thought that Mrs.

The car struck the concrete step, shattered a pillar supporting the porch roof and crashed into the brick wall of the home, knocking out bricks and pushing in the wall in a space about eight feet wide, below a dining room window. Plaster was dislodged and laths broken inside the home.

Mr. Lamke, at the rear of the home, heard the crash and thought an explosion had occurred. Between Car and House He found Mrs. Dresser beneath the bumper of the car, between the front wheels of the car and the house. Rickie was lying between Mrs.

Dresser and the house, partly covered by debris. The car had rebounded after striking the house. Lamke lifted the child in his arms and telephoned for a wrecker to extricate Mrs. Dresser. As neighbors arrived, Mr.

Col. Hugh H.

Waggoner, patrol superintendent, said "We are can- celling leav.es and vacations and making plans to use our unmarked patrol cars around the clock during the holiday period. It's Up to the Drivers But, he said, unless the drivers decide that death and injury have no place in a Memorial Day weekend outing or visit, we may expect a dozen or more fatalities and hundreds of injuries to cloud the pleasures of the first major weekend holiday of the year. He suggested that drivers who plan a weekend trip have their cars checked safety-wise before starting--and then drive cautiously and courteously. "We're going to bar no holds in our fiaht. to rid Missouri highways of senseless bloodshed," he said.

Russia Proposes Five-Point Plan for Indochina Peace Indochina Rebels Besieging Three Small Outposts Defenders Battling Fiercely to Hold Off Encircling Vietminh HANOI, Indochina W) Three little defense posts in the southeastern sector of the vital Red River Delta battled fiercely today to hold off encircling Vietminh forces as the of Dien Bien Phu tried to do. French Union aircraft parachuted ammunition, guns, and food to Vietnamese defenders with French noncommissioned officers in the posts of Yen Phu, Anxa, and Coquan. They have been under constant heavy mortar attack and machine- gun fire for nearly a fortnight. Twice Anxa has thrown back big Vietminh assaults.

The defenders are outnumbered about six to one. Attacks Have Failed French fighters and bombers are heavily hitting the besieging Communist-led rebels. Thus far the Vietminh have failed in all attempts to -smash into and capture either of the posts. The mud and wood constructed forts--with blockhouses and ma- chinegun pillboxes but no heavy artillery--are in the heart of rice- fields with limestone hills nearby. From these hills the Vietminh can pump over hundreds of mortar shells to pave the way for infantry charges.

Yen Phu is 6 miles' south of Phuly, which is on a direct highway to Hanoi 30 miles to the north. Anxa is 12 miles northwest of Thai Brnh, which is 50 miles southeast of Hanoi. Coquan is 9 miles northwest of Thai Binh. All Roads Cut Off During the last fortnight the Vietminh have cut off all road communication with the three posts and tightened encirclement. French aircraft lost no time starting an airlift to keep the three posts supplied.

Earlier, the French command said 159 wounded have been brought out of Dien Bien Phu and that it hoped to fly out 100 more today.

McCarthy Rips Administration 'Secrecy Order' Will Take Part in Hearings Monday--But May Walk Out By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON Wt-Sen. McCar- Jiy blasted at the Eisenhower administration's secrecy order, today as "taking the Fifth Amendment," but said "I'll be there Monday" when Senate hearings resume on his row with Army officials. The Wisconsin senator left open, however, how long he might remain. And there were reports he might be trying to lay the basis to block an attempt to subpoena his accused staff aides- as witnesses if he and they decide they should not testify.

McCarthy has repeatedly sai during this weeks recess that he didn't see how the hearings coul go ahead if President Eisenhower kept in force his order banning testimony on talks among government officials about the Army's differences with McCarthy. Claims It Is "Essential" Talking with newsmen, McCarthy referred to this order as "taking the Fifth constitutional provision invoked by many accused subversives when refusing to testify before the McCarthy subcommittee. the provision, a witness may not be compelled to give incriminating testimony against himself. McCarthy contends it is essential his case to get testimony from government officials about their talks and the development of the charges against him. "I don't see why the President should be afraid to let them tell the truth," McCarthy said.

McCarthy's stand led to lation he might walk out on the hearings. He told reporters 'that while he would be there Monday "I make no promises" about how long he would stay. Could Change Mind Sources close to the senator said le had told associates he now planned no walkout of his own but his mind could' be changed. The question of whether McCar- could block subpoenas to his staff aides turns about the status of the Senate Investigations subcommittee as a subsidiary body Committee, headed by McCarthy.
