Ag Department Prepares Report On Farm Prices By BERNARD BKEXNETl WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UP)-Agriculture Department economists will begin to collect field reports this week for a national larm price report which help shape the outcome of the Presidential campaign. The department's 1 a.r monthly report on farm prices will, be released at precisely 3 p. est, Oct. 30, a week before election day.

If it shows prices received by farmers down for the fourth straight month, it could bolster the Democratic drive to recapture the farm vote. An upturn in prices, on the other hand, would strengthen GOP claims that the Eisenhower administration has finally braked the farm price skid. Reporters Mail Reports Late this week, officials here said, some 10.000 unpaid volunteer farm price reporters will mail their reports on mid-month prices of farm products to 41 state offices of the Agriculture Department's crop reporting board. Field officials in these offices, falter -reviewing the reports and recommending "adjustments" they think necessary, will mail them to the board here about Oct. 24.

Once the figures reach here, a carefully devised system--Designed to make sure that no individual can release the overall price average before the Oct. 30 deadline--takes effect. Handled in Groups Price reports are handled in commodity groups, explained B.R. Stauber, head of the board's price statistics branch. No individual gets his hands on all the figures necessary to calculate the final price average until the morning of Oct.

30. All the officials and tech- nicials handling (he figures that day will be locked inlo. a suit of offices, cut off from outside world, until the report is released at 3 p. m. The job of calculating price averages is done by career economists with no interference from administration-appointed officials of the Agriculture Department, Stauber said.

Stauber, who has been in charge of the price branch since 1945, said that in all those years "no one above. me has ever challenged or modified a single price." Other Developments Other farm front developments: Traveling secretary Agriculture Secretary Ezra. T. Benson's, aides report that he traveled near-, ly 312,000 miles on official business speeches and inspection tours between late 1952 and last Sept. 26.

The accounting includes a 13,000 mile cross-country trip shortly before Benson took office. Benson has a 20 speeches and other appearances, including a five-state drought tour, scheduled this month. Rural mail the Post Office Department announced this week that its rural delivery service today serves "more Americans than ever before in history." Rural free delivery mail service began Oct. 1, 1896, with three routes at Charleston, W. and two routes at Halltown and Uvilla, rear Charlestown.

The routes were picked, by the then Postmaster General General William L. Wilson, a native of West Virginia. Menon Ends Cairo Talks CAIRO, Oct. 6 (UP) India's V- K. Krishna Menon ended his talks with Egypt's president Saturday and headed for London to try to get 1he West to sit down with Egypt and work out their differences ever the Suez Canal.

Egyptian officials made it clear Egypt would spurn the Western proposal brought before the security council Friday. The proposal calls for the international control of tlie canal a condition Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser has flatly rejected. India's roving ambassador confirmed twice with Nasser Saturday. This is Menon's fourth huddle with the Egyptian president since Nasser nationalized the canal July 26.

Council Group Still Studying Reservoir Plan Councilman E. Parks, chairman of Ihc cily council water committee, said Saturday i i unlikely liis committee will have a recommendation ready by Tuesday night on a proposed multimillion dollar water improvements bond issue.

Parks conferred Saturday with Wyatt B. Hendrick, consulting engineer on the water program, and Mayor C. R. Ellsworth. "We have asked Hendrick to prepare cost estimates on a three million-gallon clearwell to be constructed at the filter plant," Parks said.

"When this estimate is completed, we plan to go over each ilem in the proposal. We want to 'be sure the bond issue provides i i funds to com' plele whatever we slart." A group of Lawton citizens asked the council last Tuesday night to take immediate steps to submit a S6 i i hond issue to the voters for the water program. Parks said estimates have been made on cost of a clam a-rl lak-e lands for a municipal water supply on Cache creek between Elgin and Porter Hill. Estimates have also been made on a 42-inch pumper line from the proposed lake lo Lake Lawtonka. "We want the cost estimates to be as close to reality as possible," Parks explained, "and we must provide a cushion to take care of reasonable rises in costs of steel, concrete and other items.

"If we fail to include enough money lo finish the work which we slart, it would be boiler not to start it." Parks eNplained. During the 15-day period ending Saturday, Lawton and Fort Sill took 153,000,000 gallons of water from Lake Lawtonka, which dropped to this year's record low level of 1316.05 feet above sea level Saturday. The lake level dropped more than four inches last week, as the rate of drop decreased slightly from the previous week's rate of one inch a day.

MUNN I UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Ocl. (UP) The United Nations Security Council may be able lo bring Egypt and the West together for negotiations on. the Suez Canal dispute through secret rather than public sessions, Western diplomats said Saturday. They said that Egypt would have an opportunity for presenting any proposals it might have for settlement at closed-door meetings which were suggested by Britain and endorsed by the United States. Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi said he hoped the proposed secret sessions would "help" towards a solution.

He said he conferred with UN Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjold Saturday afternoon for "a comparison of notes and ideas," and added that he was prepared to meet "everybody I can" to facilitate a solution. As matters stand, both sides are as far apart as ever on a solution to the crisis brought on when Egypt seized the canal July 26. Egyptain government sources and newspapers in Cairo Saturday flatly rejected the Anglo-French proposal put before the council at the start debate Friday which called for council endorsement of the Dulles plan for internationalization of the waterway. Egyptian officials also expressed disappointment that the United States had gone along with the Anglo-French resolution. Sources said Egypt hoped Washington would take a neutral position in council.

With the council itself in recess until Monday, the diplomats turned to private conferences on the issue.
