Democrats Hit GOP's Secrecy Monroney, Kefauver Charge Republicans Giving Public 'Snow Job' WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 Two Democrats tonight accused the Eisenhower, administration of cloaking its legislative discussions in secrecy and of giving the public "A snow job" through press agentry. This criticism came tor Monroney of Oklahoma and Kefauver of Tennessee on the Dumont TV show "Meet Your Congress." Their arguments were disputed by two Republicans, Senators Duff of Pennsylvania and Rep.

Hope of Kansas, who predicted President Eisenhower will preing, constructive" program sent an acceptable lean; month. It was Monroney who said the public was being snowed under through press agentry. And he bitterly assailed the Republicans for excluding the Democrats from last week's White House legislative talks. "We'd like to be in on the takeoff as well as the crash." Monroney declared. "'The advice is all coming from one party." Kefauver complimented Eisenhower for seeking the advice of his party leaders but added: "After all of these meetings, we haven't heard any results.

The people are entitled to know how the administration is going to fulfill its campaign promises that it hasn't done to date." Kefauver said he was "afraid" reactionary elements of the Republican party would make it difficult for Eisenhower to get his legislative program through Congress he takes control himself, which he hasn't done to Both Kefauver and Monroney questioned the wisdom of contemplated heavy cuts in thee nation's military strength during the fiscal year which starts July Duff defended the administration plans for cutting spending, saying "This matter look is infinitely more important than most people understand." He said powerful new atomic weapons have made possible a reduction in the size of the armed forces. Duff said he agreed with Sen. Byrd (D that the nation would bankrupt if it is forced to maintain its present military manpower strength indefinitely. Hope predicted the administration will come up with a "very comprehensive program and one in the good of the country." Hope, who was in on the White House conferences as chairman of the House Agriculture, Committee, said he is the administration will come up with a farm program which will meet the changing situation of agriculture." Pressed by his Democratic colleagues to talk about the program, Hope declined. Wreck Fatal To Pitt Man GREENVILLE, Dec.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (P -In its last report before Christmas on the world crop situation, the Agriculture Department today predieted a bumper harvest of castor beans--the raw material for castor oil. The department offered no comment on the post-holiday consumption outlook. There will be about 90,000 tons of oil to draw on from India alone. A crop of about 546,000 tons of beans is expected, mostly in Brazil and India.

U. S. production should reach 28,000 tons, more than double last year's output, but that would still leave this country a poor third. The oil is also used to lubricate airplane en- gines. To Make Pilgrimage.

Favor Prison Sentences NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (P) Charity racket probers in New York plan legislation calling for prison sentences for use of big shot names in fund drives without permission. As a followup to revelations at hearings last week that the U.S.

public is bilked of 100 million dollars annually charity fakers, Sen. Bernard Tompkins said today the Legislature will be asked to enact this and other controls at its next session. Among disclosures at the hearings were admissions the names of President Eisenhower, former President Truman, leaders and such entertainment ures as Bing Crosby had been used in drives without consent. New York's effort at effecting proper controls is nationally important, said Tompkins because many drives originate here. Tompkins, who was chairman of the joint legislative investigation, estimated that only three per cent of charity collections are fraudulent.

Tompkins made the remarks during an interview on the WCBS radio program "Let's Find Out." wAsked whether, any, prosecutions hearings, Tompkins said the committee was sending, transcripts of testimony attorney general and to the Postoffice Department. 200 Per Cent Interest NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (AP) Five dollars plus 200 per cent interest was on its way today to a Londoner for a spot of snow shoveling he did in New York City 30 years ago. Andrew W. Mulrain, Santitation commissioner, said he recently received a letter from Daniel J.

Davies, who returned to England in 1933, telling him of the fiscal slipup. "Thirty years is a long time, I know," wrote Davies, "but knowAmerica as I do, I wouldn't be surprised to find a letter with that sum of money in the mailbox one morning." He explained that on wintery night in 1924, shortly after landing in the country, he took a job "shoveling snow around Delancey St. for 10 hours at cents hour" because the Wilkes Barre, coal mine where regularly worked was closed by a strike. "I was a bit of a Davies added describing how when he went to get paid, he was accused of not having been on the job. Instead of protesting, he walked away disgusted, he said.

The memory lingered on ever. Davies, who is 60 and described himself as a man who neither smokes nor drinks, now employed by the London Electricity Board. But his English wages, he wrote, mean "nothing but starvation for me. If I was to eat like I used to in America, one meal would cost me my week's wages and Instead of instituting a costly research of department rolls, Mulrain wrote out a personal check based on the current pay scale for sanitation men. It totalled $15.

Recalling that he also had worked on the city streets snow shovel many a bleak night, Mulrain said he hoped the check "will remove any ill feeling you might harbor against Father Knickerbocker for his 1924 slip-up." Pella Meets De Gasperi ROME, Dec. 20 Giuseppe Pella and his old boss, Alcide de Gasperi, met for a long talk today amid reports the were engaged in table political warfare. The talk ended in "grand cordiality," according to semi-official sources. But this did not quiet rumors of a serious split between Pella and the De Gasperi wing of Italy's dominant Christian Democrat party. The rumors began spreading almost as soon as Pella took office as "temporary premier" last August following the post-election downfall of De Gasperi's eighth Cabinet.

They grew in force when Pella stopped speaking of his government as temporary. night a Pella spokesman brought the reports the surface with a statement, outlining three present friction. He said the Premier is studying: 1. statement made the Christian Democrat party, of which De Gasperi now is leader, just before government employes struck last Dec. 11 taking a neutral stand in the strike.

2. A recent speech by De Gasperi's ally and former interior minister, Mario Scelba, calling for a new four-party coalition of the center instead of the government's present dependence upon rightwing monarchists for support. 3. A magazine article by De Gasperi defining Pella's government as friendly government" -not a Christian Democrat government. The spokesman hinted Pella wants to find out whether De Gasperi and his Christian Democrats are behind him or not.

He also said Pella is thinking of "giving a tonic" to his Christian Democrat Cabinet. Most papers interpreted this as meaning Pella is planning to shake up the Cabinet a little. The Christian Democrats themselves have denied they are trying to pull out the rug from under Pella. If a split in Christian Democrat ranks should get serious enough to cost Pella votes in Parliament, it could mean the downfall of his Cabinet. Beware of Tree Notes PHILADELPHIA, Dec.

20 A suburban couple's efforts to provide a merry Christmas for "orphan" girl in Canada have left them in a quandry after a warning from the Better Business Bureau here to beware of notes attached to Christmas trees soliciting funds and gifts.

The Westhoffs promptly enlisted the aid of neighbors in preparing a Christmas for the "orphan."

Gets Out of Bottle. VIENNA, Austria, Dec. 20 (P- Rudolf Schmid today stepped out of a big glass bottle in which he had squatted for the last year and staggered weakly to an ambulance.

He also lost 14 snakes he had taken with him for company, but which couldn't take the climatic changes.

Schmid. 53, told newsmen "There is little difference between life inside and outside the bottle." But, after he smashed the walls of his bottle with a hammer and stepped out, he nearly collapsed and had to be driven away by the Austrian Red Cross. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 (UP)-. A price support plan proposed help organized dairy farmers has met a cool reception from Agriculture Department officials, it was learned today.

One ranking official praised the dairymen for "making an effort." But "gimmicks" in the proposal unveiled recently by National Milk Producers Federation would result in continued heavy government buying of butter, cheese and dried milk, he The government is holding nearly one billion pounds of dairy products purchased in price support operations, including nearly 250 million pounds of butter. The cheapest way to dispose of the butter would be to give it away, said Howard H. Gordon, head of the Agriculture Department's commodity stabilization service. "But we can't find any place to give it to," he added. Distributing government butter free in this country would interfere with normal markets.

Proposals to give it away overseas stumble over such problems as interference with regular markets and the cost of packaging and shipping. Gordon's dairy surplus headaches would be turned over to a presidentially appointed dairy board under the milk producers federation self-help plan. The board would be launched with a 580 million dollar government loan, and draw operating funds later from levied on the "fair earning power" parity level. dairy farmers. It would set up a stabilization pool, buying surplus dairy products to support prices at rates set by the board.

Government officials like this feature of the self plan. They object, however, to two "protection' clauses in the proposed program. One would make the government, instead of the dairy farmers, responsible for price supports on American butter, cheese or dried milk displaced by imports. Whenever imports were permited by the government during dairy surplus periods, the government would be forced to buy one pound of American butter for every, pound imported. The second "protection" clause would make the government responsible for supporting dairy products produced as a result federally -ordered cutbacks in other crops.

When planting of wheat, cotton and corn is reduced by government controls, some of the idled land goes into pasture, leading to increased milk production. The selfhelp plan would call on the gOVernment to buy enough dairy products to offset the additional production. The Agriculture Department has no "official opinion" of the plan yet, a high-ranking official said. Rep. William R.

Williams (R-NY), spokesman for a fluid milk producing district, called the proposal a good "first step" toward turning responsibility for dairy supports over to dairymen. The government is supporting the price of butter, cheese and dried milk this year at 90 per cent of Benefit Bingo. Benefit Bingo.
