LXII Packers Prodded by Ezra Wants Costs "Tightened" CHICAGO of Ag- ricullure Benson told meat packers Tuesday "to tighlen up your cosls" because he said Ihe farmer "is bearing more than the full brunt of price decline." Benson said also the Departmenl of Agriculture is stepping up its pork buying program in an effort bolster hog prices, and will do everything possible to help develop new markets abroad. "However," he added in a speech prepared for the National Swine Industry Commitlee of the Farm Bureau Federation, "we do not intend to contribute to Ihe problems of livestock farmers by approving any program for the government to purchase and store vasl quantities, of meal producls for which il has no visible outlet. "We feel that this would do irreparable injury to the industry." Marketing Costs Benson told packer representatives on the Industry Committee, which also includes producer spokesmen, thai-he has been "extremely concerned" because marketing margins have been rising while farm hog prices declined. Saying he realizes that wage scales and freight rates have advanced, Benson said these higher costs have been offset in part by increased volume "and all the farmer has gotten has been low prices and sharply reduced income." "I want to speak very bluntly with you," the secretary said.

"It is essential that marketing margins be kept in line so they do not exceed real costs and that farmers be paid as as possible for their products.

Full Brunt "This is no time to take advantage of the American farmer. As a nation, we simply cannot afford to let him carry the full brunt of increased processing and distribution costs, yes even increased prof- ils, hi other sectors of the meat industry.

"I state emphatically that I will not stand idly by during such times without defending the farmer with every means at my disposal." Benson did not indicate in his prepared remarks what steps he might take if processing profits reach a point he regards as out of line, although he said his department and the farmer "have no desire to interfere with or change the legitimate functions of the industry." "I believe firmly you're entilled lo a fair relurn," he said. The White House Monday rejected congressional demands that the administration instilule a program of buying hogs or agree lo support hog prices at specific levels. Sherman Adams, presidential assistant, said there are lob many difficulties and objections to the proposals.

SAME (White flag means no traffic death In past 24 hours) More Red Ships Seized Off Norway Coast AALESUND, Norway Norwegian naval units Tuesday seized three more Soviet fishing the total to seven trawlers and a factory ship in two days.

The seizures were made after the Soviet vessels violated Norwegian territorial waters by fishing inside the forbidden four-mile limit. A temporary Norwegian naval command was set up at Aalesund to deal with the continuing violations. Norwegian Foreign Minister Kallvard Lange also sped home from Denmark to deal with the growing danger of an international incident. He and his cabinet prepared a formal protest to the Reds. The navy brought up a sub- marine depot ship to haul in the three additional Soviet violators.

Tough Norwegian sailors flourishing pistols and machine guns boarded and captured four Red fishing boats and a factory ship Monday. Torpedo boats again raced out at dawn Tuesday after radioed reports from Norwegian fishermen said "several" Red boats which escaped Monday sneaked back during the night. Heavier warships steamed from north and south to the area, between Stad Foreland and Svinoey lighthouse, on orders radioed from the west coast navy headquarters at Bergen. The commander of one Norwegian boarding party fired two warning shots into the deck of a Russian ship at the feet of its captain when he refused to follow orders to sail into port. The captured ships were 'part of a Russian fishing fleet of 70 to 80 ships spotted taking herring "well within" the four-mile limit of Norwegian waters.

The swift, armored torpedo boats dashed, into the middle of the. fleet, catching it by surprise. Mollet in Quest of Support Gets Backing of Commies rrom Our Wire Services Mollet, secretary general of the Socialist Party, appeared assured of sucess in his bid for the premiership Tuesday when Party Boss Jacques Duclos pledged him Communist support. Duclos' action meant the "republican front" Cabinet Mollet proposes will get the 151 Communists votes in the National Assembly in addition to support from the Socialists, the Radical-Socialists and various small center parties. The Communist leader announced his support for the premier designate despite two planks in the Mollet platform which the Communists call for a stronger North Atlantic Treaty Organization and a new drive for the unuifica- tion of Western Europe.

Appeal for Power Mollet stressed both points in the foreign policy section of his statement, of policy when the National Assembly convened to hear his appeal for power. The Communist tactic was in line with the party's recent strategy and Socialists. Mollet has opposed any link with the Reds. Duclos' move seemed designed to impose such an alliance and to head off the formation of a national union bloc of the left and center parties. In his bid for power, Mollet also called for a new deal for Algeria which would strengthen "the unbreakable union" of that North African territory with France.

Cabinet List His Cabinet list includes Gen. Georges Catroux in the new post of resident minister in Algeria and former Premier Pierre Mendes- France, his political ally, as njin- ister of state without portfolio. Mendes-France during his premiership was responsible for initiating the agreement granting the protectorate of Tunisia, Algeria's eastern neighbor, more self government and reducing anti-French agitation among The 50-year-old Mollet had his troubles almost up to the time for the vote. Two Gaullist cabinet members walked out at the last minute and he had to fill their posts from among his other supporters. Mendes-France, who teamed up with Mollet to form a "republican front," was miffed because Mollet was cool to the idea of making him the foreign minister.

This move was taken to appease the anti- Mendes-France MRP.

He abandoned his earlier plan for financing it with bonds. House Republican Leader Marin (Mass) announced the President's decision.

He said it was made in recognition of a practical situation in of the Democratic leadership to accept the bond program. Martin said after the GOP congressional leaders' weekly conference with Eisenhower that the President decided to yield on tha issue because he wants the highway construction program to get under way. Martin told a news conferenca that believes the new program has a "good chance" of winning approval in Congress. Position Clarified Eisenhower's choice, Martin said, was either to "give" up the roads" or go along with the Democrats' program. The Republican leader a i House Speaker Rayburn and other Democratic members of the House made their position clear at a conference last week.

Martin made it clear that the new program means higher taxes to finance road building. He added it would be up to the House Ways and Means Committee to decide just how to raise the money. Martin had said in advance of the White House conference that he would seek the President's support for the Democratic move to raise taxes on highway users. Martin said he thought there was "a good chance" of getting a road bill through the Congress this session. Martin said frankly after a two- hour White House conference that since the Democrats control Congress, the Republicans, were left with little choice.

Martin promised House Democratic leaders last week he would raise the highway financing problem with Eisenhower.
