$1.88 Price Support For Wheat In County The basic wheat rate in Tipton County on the current crop will be $1.88 a bushel, a 4-cent increase over the minimum rate announced several weeks ago. Chairman Griffith, of the Comr ty Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee announced today. The basic county rate is for Grade No. 1 wheat. It is further adjusted up or down for grade and quality to determine the support price for an individual farmer.

The national average rate for wheat represents 75 percent of the parity price. The" minimum rate previously announced was based on a determination made in 1957 to assist farmers in planning their 1958 wheat crop. The increase announced today reflects a rise in the wheat parity price. Anyj farmers who have received support at a lower rate will receive the difference. As in previous years, a farmer will be able to obtain price support on wheat either by getting a loan at the support rate for farm-stored or warehouse-stored grain or by entering into a purchase agreement with the -Government.

Terminal rates have-also been raised 4 cents a bushel above the minimum. VUTISHIAOUPATIOlS OFF Britain assembled bet armed forces to aid O. 3.

By FRANK H. BARTHOLOMEW President United Press International Copyright, 1958, by UPI The Iraqi revolt was "born in Bern," Western counter intelligence agents today.

China, and the Middle East. Western' 'intelligence agents have a label for these, "Born in Bern." It is now attached to the Iraqi revolt. Switzerland has clearly become the Communist spy center for the Arab world as well as all of Millions For Spies Bern, the. ancient capital, is again the hub of the wheel as it was in World War II, when Allen C.

Dulles, now head of the Central Intelligence Agency in Washington, directed American counter intelligence frohi that city. The Soviet intelligence operations have largely moved from Prague and elsewhere- to Bern, this reporter was told by responsible observers. Left'behind in Prague, beyond the reach of alert Swiss police, is the elaborate plant and equipment for manufacturing false passports and credentials. "Although the total is hard to ascertain, there is reason to believe that the Communists send out an average of $1,000,000 per week from Switzerland to spies, provocateurs and contraband trai ers for their, work in the Western democracies," Henry J. Taylor, United States ambassador to Switzerland, told United Press International.

Taylor, a trained investigator from years of experience as a hard headed journalist and foreign affairs says that this is one of the basic reasons that the Western powers regard Switzerland with its 70 foreign missions from the worlds of Communism and democracy as "the No. 1 listening post for Europe and the -Middle East." Free World Is Target Zurich, Switzerland's largest city, Geneva, teat of many international conferences, have bacame the phyiical contact points nor Red agents operating in the Middle East, France, Western Germany, Britain, Spain, Portugal and Italy. "Their target is the free world, and they load-up their ammunj- tion in Zurich, Geneva and Bern," Taylor said. Here the agents come to make reports and to receive orders for future activities and faked credentials for implementing them. Transfer of currencies from the issue of one nation to that of another is facilitated, since Switzjer- land has recognized not only the Western powers and Russia but also the letter's satellites" including Red China and Bulgaria.

The United States. jitiUifcr of the latter: Both are heavily represented in Bern. A second reason-the transfer of spy activities was advantageous to the Reds is because of Switzerland's central location as the hub of. a complex.of-modern rail and airlines fanning out in all directions'. Zurich's Kloton -Airport has one of the heaviest year-round traffic loads, in all Europe, with direct daily schedules to.

Moscow via a change of airlines in Prague. Careful Of Laws The secondary route for Soviet exchange, equally fast and regular, is via the Vienna gateway. No Russian airline or aircraft is permitted to fly into Switzerland itself, where national feeling appears to be solidly anti-Communist. Switzerland is the apex of the triangle and equally accessible from all parts of the Arab world, which itself spreads over a dis tance equal to that from Hawaii to Bermuda. Many Arab capitals are closer to Bern than to each other.

"The Communists have operated with a careful eye to the strict Swiss laws against espionage," this reporter was told in Zurich, "even while they secretly abuse the fundamental, laws protecting freedom of the individual. "The gathering place for agents and principals, and the 'cashier's office" for payments is rotated among the various satellite embassies and missions in Bern. "Important gatherings' of Communist agents seldom are held in the large embassy of the U.S.S.R. itself. The Kremlin doesn't want to take a chance on an upset or arrest that will directly reflect on the U.S.S.R.

Damage To Area Transformer Will Soon Be Repaired City' utilities director William Hiatt advised the Tribune today that a storm had "knocked out" a 75 KVA transformer late Tuesday, three miles south of Tipton on state road 19, causing a stoppage of electric power in the area until a switch could be made to another section. The transformer is a large one and is one of two servicing the southern part of the county. The standby service must be continued, according to Hiatt, until the wrecked transformer, sent, to Westinghouse at Indianapolis for repair can be fixed and returned. He expected the transformer to be repaired and returned by Friday with normal service Hiatt explained that "spares" for large transformers are not carried.here because of the expense involved.

Damages listed at $85 to tho Lindeman vehicle and $250 to the Holland car.

Moscow Radio reacted immediately with a charge that the arrival of the red-bereted paratroops in Jordan proved that the U.S.

The demonstrators, mostly youths, shouted "Hands 'Jt on American colonialists." Earlier, an announcement appeared in the Soviet that the Soviet air, land and naval forces in the areas bordering Turkey and Iran will begin training maneuvers Friday. The demonstrators called for U. S.

Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson to come put of the 10-stury embassy building and explain the U.S. "aggression" in Lebanon. First reports said the crowd was orderly. Units of the Black Sea fleet, with bases close to the Turkish coast, will participate in the maneuvers. The announcement said the exercises are being held in accordance with the plan to keep Soviet armed forces "in close combat preparedness." Follows Warning Although the" maneuvers were believed to be part of annual exercises, the timing of the announcement may have been designed to follow Russia's warning Wednesday for the United States to get out of Lebanon.

The announcement said that as of July 18 training of "Soviet land and air forces will be carried out in the Transcaucasus and Turkestan military districts." The Transcaucasus district borders on Turkey and Iran, both members of the pro Western Baghdad Pact, and lies less than 800 miles from Beirut and NATO bases in Turkey.
