D- WASHINGTON (AP) The say farm expenses have risen so sharply that emergen- a Baptist, a a i Auxiliary and of the Order of Eastern Survivors are one daughter, Mrs. Lily Jane Cowan of Springdale; one son, Jack of Taos, six grandchildren and one great-grandchild. House, working its way through an emergency farm bill, turns to a controversial provision that the Ford administration claims would raise the store price of milk by eight cents a gallon. The bill, as recommended by the House Agriculture Co- mittee, would raise government price supports for milk from 80 per cent of parity to 85 per cent.

The Agriculture Department, which opposes the bill, claims the higher supports also would boost the retail price of butter by 20 cents a pound and the price ot cheese by 10 cents a pound. Backers of the bill, led by Khmer Rouge Pushed Back PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) Government troops pushed back 400 insurgents who penetrated the capital's defense perimeter east of the Mekong diplomatic sources said. The sources said 50 insur gents were killed in the attacl on the government position at Sway Chhrum village, three miles across the river from Phnom Penh. Intelligence sources say the Khmer Rouge has brought about 4,000 men to the area across the river, apparently aiming to launch a major attack against the eastern approach to Phnom Penh. The city was hit by 18 rockets during the night, and police said one of them wounded two guards at President Lon Nol's palace.

Three other persons were reported killed and there were 11 others wounded, the police said. The U.S. airlift of rice, ammunition and fuel continued without interruption. Officials said there were a record 45 flights on Wednesday. About 500 university students held another rally against U.S.

aid to the Lon Nol regime, the second in two days. The stu dents said more aid would only prolong the war and lead the country to collapse. cy action is needed to help prevent financial chaos among farmers. The bill's supporters also contest the Agriculture Department's estimates of retail impact, saying that the figures are misleading and that projected inflation during the coming year would be largely responsible for the expected price increase. Over-all, the bill covers milk, cotton, wheat, corn and other feed grains.

Agriculture Department says it would cost an estimated $882 million this year, mainly in larger benefits for cotton and milk producers. The House struck at the committee-approved bill's cotton section Wednesday, carving off million of the $650 million cost estimated for this feature, nvolving so-called target prices and loan levels. The target price is a government guarantee to the producer. It means that if the free- market price for a commodity falls below the law's fixed target price, then the government will make up the difference by a direct payment to the farmer. The loan level is the amount a farmer can borrow from the government by using his crops as security.

Bill Becker has resigned as vice chairman of the Pulaski County United Way In an apparent disagreement with the agency concerning legislation making mandatory union dues checkoffs in state agencies, Little Rock television station KARK said Wednesday. Becker is president of the state AFL-CIO. A United Way spokesman said if labor withdrew its support from the agency that would have a "devastating effect." Members of organized labor donate about one- third of the $4 million United Way contributions statewide. The United Way and labor both originally had supported a Pryor administration bill that would have required state agencies to deduct union dues and United Way contributions from payroll checks if requested in writing by the employe. However, United Way apparently dropped its support of the administration bill after other legislation was Introduced pertaining to only United Way deductions, the station said.

KARK quoted sources close to labor as saying that because of a lack of United Way support for the administration bill, the measure was defeated. If) PERIOD! SATURDAY, MAR. 22 7:30 p.m. BARNHIU. FIELDHOUSE Gen.
