"I have been informed that many operators may have to sell their livestock if they don't get ways to buy feed at reduced Crosby said that as long as the federal administration is extending help in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas he thought it should be extended into Nebraska. He said he would like to see this done by portions of counties rather than by entire counties. Crosby said it Is his under standing that -as governor he would have no direct part in asking aid but that he would want to make some recommendations. REPRESENTATIVES of state and federal agencies were set to meet Monday afternoon to de cide whether President Eisenhower should be requested to declare' parts of southwestern Nebraska a drought disaster area.

Present at the meeting were to be the state Production and Marketing Administration committee of Parr Young, chairman, Owen Burton and Frank Reese; State Agriculture Director Ed Hoyt; State Extension Director Ed Janike; Director Ernest 5Jwc.n."n5 Si ajja Jl "TVJL istration; and representatives cj the state Civil Defense orgaruza tion. MEMBERS of the group who had visited the dry areas of Hitchcock. Dundy and Hayes Counties last week felt there was definite need for federal as sistance in the area. At a meeting in Trenton local representa tives from the three counties were unanimous in favoring a request for drought disaster designation.

LIVESTOCK MEN would not all be eligible for the cheaper feed. However, a stockman would be ineligible "only if he has sufficient cash or credit to carry him through the drought emergency period without danger of jeopardizing the successful operation of a livestock business," according to the Department of Agriculture. Determination of individuals to receive assistance rests largely on a county drought committee made up of the county PMA chairman, county agent, county FHA director and a prominent farmer or rancher and a local banker selected by the first three. The program is under the supervision of a state drought committee which has as its chairman the state PMA chairman and consists of the state extension director, the state director of civil defense, state FHA director and a farmer and a banker named by the secretary of agriculture.

'Urg 'Escape' if- orBeTir- Studied U.S. Officials Still Skeptical WASHINGTON Government officials took a highly skeptical attitude toward a report investigation by I Senate agents that Lavrenty Beria, deposed Soviet secret, po- ii V- iitc iTOi, Has escaped irurn asylum in the United States. These were developments in what would be, if true, one of the most sensational cloak-and-dagger incidents of generations: 1.

Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) publicly acknowledged for the time that his Senate investi gations subcommittee has re celved a report that a mysterious figure, in hiding in a non-Communist country, claims to be Beria. He said "I am not convinced" and declined to say what his subcommittee is doing in the matter. 2. A Senate source said a sub-' committee agent who would know whether the man is in fact Beria has gone to contact him! and should make a report in a couple of days.

A person familiar with the Senate group's operations said, however, that investigators are convinced Beria' has escaped from Russia and is hiding, in terror of his life, in a neutral European country, OTHER government sources, also asking not to be quoted by name, were skeptical, saying the chances of Beria's having escaped from behind, the Iron Curtain were "one in a million." The Senate source said that "a new man has gone over who will know him if it is Beria," and that a report 'from this person can be expected within a tew days. This source said, the man who calls himself Beria had been con- I tacted by agents of McCarthy's political asylum in the United States in exchange for disclosure of Russian secrets. a OFFICIALS IN THE executive branch of the government said they -knew nothing which would lead them- to believe that Beria, former head of the Russian se cret police, has managed to get out of Russia. At the same time, it was- made clear this govern ment would be glad to receive any man who knows as many of the Kremlin secrets as Beria does. So far as is- known in the West, Beria was rasr seen rn rtuDiic MoscpwMay l.

Smefr l'reTO Malenkov denounced him as a traitor on July 9 and busted him from his posts as- home minister and first deputy chairman of the Council- of Ministers. His name has not been mentioned in the Russian press or radio in recent weeks, and there has been no recent mention of any trial. This has led to some speculation here that he' may, already have been executed. The Senate source said the man representing himself as Beria said he had escaped with three aides in' an airplane and that, if given refuge in the United States, will talk only with McCarthy or Vice President Nixon. The source said McCarthy's agents have been in touch with him for about a month, j.

THE SOURCE added that, unless the story proves to be a hoax, there is a good chance the man will be brought to this country. In Baltimore, Col? Ulius L. Amoss, head of the International Services of Information, a private espionage outfit, said he had been contacted in Europe this summer by pearsons who said Beria escaped from Russia. who retired after World War II duty with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), said that in Munich he had met a man who described himself as a major of the Russian security police. He said the man asked whether the United States would grant Beria sanctuary.

Fists Used To Beat off Sharks B-29 Survivors Tell of Battle NEW YORK (if) Two Air Force men told of fighting off sharks with their fists during 22 hours in the choppy Atlantic.

They were among six survivors of a B-29 hurricane hunter which caught fire and crashed in the Atlantic last Friday. They arrived here aboard the Home Lines cruise shiD. Nassau. Three other survivors previously reached Charleston, S. C.

Also aboard the Nassau were nine crewmen of an Air Force amphibian rescue plane, damaged and abandoned in the rough water while attempting to pick up the B-29 survivors. The Coast Guard is continuing the search for seven missing B-29 crewmen. SGT. CHARLES Graybill Of Landsdowne, said he and another crewman, James (Henderson of Flushing, floated for 22 -hours jn their inflated Mae West life preservers. had lashed themselves to gether.

Graybill said they developed a neat one-two punch to keep sharks away. But the 21-year- ol sergeant said even so a shark nipped one of his hands. "Something rushed by me," said Graybill, "and then I felt one hand in a mouth- So, I took a poke at him to get loose. Usually, he said, he and Henderson would "kick and splash" -when sharks swarmed around Graybill wore bandages on both hands. HENDERSON said Graybill was "pretty sick' during the night and apparently was delirious for more than an hour.

Henderson's forearms were bandaged. He said he had been stung by Portuguese men-of- war, a poisonous jellyfish. Of Hhe- son said: They'd come up. I remem- you hit them on the snout they take off. It worked." Henderson said he and Gray bill got together in the water as both swam toward a raft.

THERE WERE three rafts we went toward that sank," said Henderson. Graybill said a blast aboard the B-29 hurled him out of the craft: "Number three engine broke loose, hit number four engine, starting a fire, and then there was an explosion I was thrown out" Grcsliam Hit Again By Robbers GRESHAM (W Burglars invaded this eastern Nebraska town for the eighth time In four Sheriff Lewis Ekarts said approximately $1,000 worth of merchandise was stolen.

The Soviet delegate also served notice that Russia was ready to make a vigorous fight to get the assembly to revise its earlier decision barring neutral countries as representatives at the Korean peace conference. The Commu-, nist demands on this, he said, are justified and must be met.

The Soviet proposals on atomic control included hydrogen weapons by name, but otherwise fol lowed closely Soviet disarmament resolutions of previous sessions.

Tie said. The United States has insisted that the armistice restricted the representation in the peace conference to the two sides, but the Russions have sought to make it roundtable affair by inviting India and other so-called neutrals. Vishinsky spoke from notes.

In the past when he has not had prepared text It indicated he had received new instructions too late for inclusion in a written speech. THE SOVIET DELEGATE at-' tacked the position of the United States as "obdurate. He said Secretary of State Dulles had adopted the policy of South Korean President Sygnman Blue and was doing everything pos sible "to thwart consideration of this question at the present session." Dulles listened intently as Vishinsky assailed what he caTW the "intolerant attitude" of the United States in opposing Indian participation in the peace confer, enc. "The United S'ales has proved time and again it will not hesitate to thwart the interests of states who want to alk their own paths," the Soviet delegate said. TURNING TO Dulles appeal last week- for the Communists to show by deeds that lhy really want peace, Vlhtnvky said it was the United States that was preventing a lessening of world teniion.
