Referring to the program under which 86 million dollars is being to buy lard and processed pork, Benson said yesterday in a statement: "Our present hog purchase program will be continued. We do not plan any changes. Farmers must adjust their breeding program to market demand." If hog producers "avoid excessive pig farrowing" in the spring, Benson said, they will benefit from higher hog prices. Benson's statement made no mention of a proposal by Sen.

No Threat Peace A leader of the Hoxie segregation committee, Jewell Barnett, testified that he had kept his children out of the integrated schools because of integration.

He joined the others in denying there is any threat to public peace in the dispute. Barnett, in supporting a defense contention that the school board's complaint was inspired by revenge, testified that the board didn't act until after another suit had been filed against it. This action, now pending in state Circuit Court, asks removal from office of the board members on the ground that the board engaged in irregular employment and pur chasing practices. Barnett denied that the segregation forces offered to make "deal" with the board, proposing to withhold filing of the state court suit if segregation was restored in the schools. Board attorney-Bill Penix asked Judge Beeves to include former state Sen.

James Johnson, now acting director of the White Citizens Council, in the injunction if it ts made permanent. Johnson, who also is the defense attorney was a defendant In the original complaint, but Judge Trimble i cused him from the terms of the injunction. The judge gave no reason for the action. Johnson, in a surprise maneuver, didn't call as witnesses two men who have been most active in the effort to restore segregation to the schools. Neither Herbert Brewer, chairman and organizer of the Hoxie committee, or Amis Guthridge, committee attorney and a leader in White America, took the stand.

Both men testified at the previous hearing before Judge Trimble.
