With the Courts CIRCUIT IBC11IT (Criminal) State of Arkansas vs. Clarence Warren, grand larceny. FARM (Continued Ptft i) mers the idea that the system would provide a progressive decline in farm prices and Income. After touring farming areas of the country last fall, the House Agriculture Committee reported It found that most farmers dislike the flexible system. On the other hand, the big American Farm Bureau Federation's recent national convention went on record for flexible floors.

The National Grange urged that the government BO slow In reducing price props. The National Farmers Union is campaigning for supports at 100 per cent of parity. One thin? that makes the flexible plan disasteful to some GOP congressmen is that farm prices and income already have dropped sharply during the past two years. Flexible supports, they say, raise the prospect of further declines. MCCARTHY Ohio has no official motto.

It adopted "Imperium in Impcrio" government within a government) In 1866 and repealed it in .868. (Continued from Page 1) July. But "on one point I will be completely will not give an inch." he declared. He said this point is his claim to sole rights to hire and fire staff members. This was the issue on which Sens.

McClellan (D-Ark), Symington (D-Mo) and Henry Jackson (D-Wash) resigned, accusing McCarthy of trying to run "a one-man committee." 60 Are Exomintd At Clinic Hera For Crippled Children A total of to children were n- amlned by a Little Rock orthopedist and pediatrician at Crip. pled Children's Clinic held yesterday at the First Methodist Church.

Swindle forfeited a $19.75 bond on a charge of passing on a yellow line while the case of Bilbo Stolcup, charged with driving while under the- influence of in- beverage, was contin- led until tomorrow with bond set at $120.73.

CONGRESS (Continued from planning for public works, federal reinsurance for health plans, tended unemployment insurance, long-time housing and slum clearance, and federal aid for state school building needs. Confidence Voiced Sen. Duff R-Pa) said the recommendations Indicate "the Presl dent's firm intention to fulfill all his campaign commitments." Sen. Bridges (R-NH) voiced confidence the President's program would have "overwhelming support, not only of all Republicans, but all thoughtful Americans as well." Sen. John Sherman Cooper (R- Ky) said the President "is assurn- ng the leadership that the people want." He predicted enactment of most of the program.

But Sen. Morse (ind-Ore) found the message only "a masterpiece of platitudes, thereby raising false hope." Significantly, perhaps, there was Imost no criticism of the President's discussion of foreign policies, on which Secretary of State Dulles supplied additional details a hour closed session with he Senate Foreign Relations Committee after the message was de- ivered. Dulles told the senators that both he United States and were laving foreign affairs troubles, but added: "As bad as our troubles are, I wouldn't trade our troubles for theirs." Dulles defended the proposal to withdraw two divisions from Ko- ret. ecplatnlac that additional South Korean are being trained. He waa quoted as saying the North AUantlo Treaty Organ- izitlon (NATO) Is "In good shape." Controvert? Brewing Sen.

(D-Ky) said he sees In the President's speech approval of "the foreign policy which the Democrats developed" and he hopes Republicans now would support the President, especially In continuing and expanding the reciprocal trade program. But plenty of controversy was brewing In that field, as it was learned a presidential commission plans to recommend shortly further tariff cuts, carefully safeguarded. Many GOP lawmakers have been urging higher import duties on some items. One administration headace in the field of foreign relations persisted, the controversial amen.d- ment proposed by Sen. Bricker (R- Ohlo) to limit treaty-making powers.

President Elsenhower, Secretary of State Dulles, and other executive and legislative leaders met yesterday with Bricker seeking a compromise acceptable to him and the administration. But the senator said afterwards they "reached no agreement and nothing definite was accomplished." The President's proposal for wip- ng out the citizenship of convicted spies was described by Sen. McCarran (D-Nev) as "half-baked" and Chairman Langer (R-ND) of he Senate Judiciary Committee said he couldn't see where it "adds anything to present law." Press for Action Although the Senate committee gave no signs of doing anything about that request, Langer said he would press for action Jan. 18 on a proposed Constitutional amend- 14 Dtafns In lMt By The AModsM have Muffed out least 14 in Arkanut thli eight of the have been children.

ment to give 18-year-olds the vote. The President's farm proposals -outlined only in objectives, with details to come Monday got frigid reception. Sen. Young (R-ND) called the President's proposals for sliding- scale price supports "the same old story." Sen. Eastland Miss) said "they won't get anywhere." Rep.

Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Armed Services Committee said he is afraid the administration eaning too heavily on new ons in its military program. 'This country can not be adequately defended by air and naval power alone," he declared. "It is essential that we have a strong ground make a balanced defense team." Chairman Daniel A. Reed of the House tax-writing Ways and Means Committee said he was 'encouraged that the President leld out hope for further reductions in taxes. House Speaker Martin (R-Mass) predicted the Republicans would run into trouble on the tax pro- )osals and Rep.

Mason (R-ni) said he is opposed to tile President's proposal to continue the present 52 per cent corporation tax end excise levies which are now scheduled to be reduced nxt april. TAXES (Continued from Page 1) spectacular battle against administration tax policy last year, said he was "delighted" at the President's full support for a tax revision program now being developed by the committee and the Treasury. This program is expected to reduce revenue about $1,300.000,000 through a rewriting of the tax laws to remove alleged inequities. But Reed already has served notice he favors, excise tax cuts and will strongly oppose extending the present top corporation income tax rate of 52 per cent. It Is scheduled to drop to 47 per cent on April 1.

Tersely, Reed said: "Those matters will receive the attention of our committee as soon as its work on the revision program permits." That was expected to be weeks away, perhaps leaving little time to cancel the scheduled cuts before April 1. 10 Per Cent Slash There were Indications Reed would support the excise tax slashes to 10 per cent mentioned by Simpson, who played a bit part in pushing through the administration's tax program last year. Bringing all excises except liquor and tobacco down to 10 per cent reportedly would cost 940 million dollars in revenue.

Chairman Millikln (R-Colo) of the Senate Finance Committee said he was encouraged by Eisenhower's assurance of further tax reductions as finances permit. Sen.

George (Ga), senior Democrat on the Finance Committee, suggested compromise at a 50 per cent corporation income tax idea also widely supported by ways and means members. lit YOUNG KKNDENTC 19M 562 THOSE WHO MUST SUPPORT DEttNDSNTS 1953 90.5 77.3 OLD DEPENDENTS 1MO 9 13.4 uw IMO "1 11 Li IMO GROWTH OF U.
