Flexible Farm Supports Face Test in Senate
Washington—(U.P.) President Eisenhower's plan to shift from high level farm price supports to a "flexible" system came up today for a major test in the Senate.
The upper chamber scheduled a vote this afternoon on the administration's wool support bill which farm bloc Senators hope to use as a vehicle for extending high level price props on basic farm products.
The crucial test was expected to come on an amendment proposed by Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La) to continue for two more years the 90 per cent of parity price guarantees on wheat, cotton, tobacco, rice, corn and peanuts. The supports are scheduled to die at the end of this year.
The administration wants the "rigid" 90 per cent supports on all except tobacco to expire on schedule and to place the other five basics" under a flexible price prop plan. Under this system the secretary of agriculture could vary the support level between 75 and 90 per cent of "fair price" parity in line with supply and demand
Senate approval of Sen. Ellender's amendment would be a serious setback for Mr. Eisenhower's farm proposals.
Chairman George D. Aiken (R-Vt.) of the Senate agriculture committee predicted the Senate would approve the wool bill without "damaging amendments." Some supporters of Sen. Ellender's proposal were privately concerned about the outcome. Mr. Ellender himself said he had never before seen so much White House pressure.

San Francisco, Calif—(U.P.)—A federal court jury has convicted three men and one woman on charges of harboring Robert Thompson, fugitive "first string" Communist leader, in a California mountain cabin.
Court Convicts Communist Head
Convicted were Sidney Steinberg, 38, former assistant national secretary of the Communist party; Carl Edwin Ross, 41, former Minnesota state secretary of the party; Samuel Coleman, 43, New York and Buffalo party leader; and Shirley Keith Kremen, 21, a former student leader in Los Angeles.
Communist documents seized by the FBI in its raid on the Sierra underground hideout last August referred to the United States government as "the enemy" and admitted the party had been hard hit by Smith act convictions.
All four were charged with two felony counts of being accessories to Thompson's crime of conspiring to barber a fugitive and conspiring to barber a fugitive.
Judge Goodman immediately remanded all four defendants to custody of the U.S. marshal pending sentence and arguments on motions for a new trial Monday morning.
A fifth original defendant, Mrs Patricia Blau, 43, former Communist organized in Colorado, was acquitted by the court last week for lack of evidence.
Thompson, former New York state Communist chairman, now is serving a three-year term at Atlanta penitentiary on his Smith act conviction, plus an additional four-year term for contempt of court in fleeing while out on bail.

Hosmer Says U.S. Leads In World Atomic Race
Washington (U.P.)-Rep. Craig Hosner (R.-Calif.) said today that America is "out in front" in the world atomic race.
He denied implying in a recent statement that "we copied our H-bomb from the Russians." Rep. W. Sterling Cole (R.-N.Y.) took sharp exception to this idea in a statement Sunday night.
Rep. Cole, chairman of the Senate- House Atomic Energy committee, said then it is "simply not correct" that the U.S. H-bombs tested recently in the Pacific "are copies of
Governors Meet In Washington
Washington — (U.P.)— State governors gathered here today for a first-hand briefing by administration officials on problems facing the nation, including the touchy international situation caused by the gloomy outlook in Indiachina.
Cabinet members and other leading federal officials were scheduled to speak to the governors during two days of closed door sessions on such subjects as to reign policy, current state defender, federal-state relations, tax and fiscal problems and the national economy.
It was the second such White House governors conference called by President Eisenhower since he took office. The first was held here last May.
The governors and their wives were entertained by Mr. Eisenhower last night at a dinner which White House said was a social affair.
Vice President Richard M. Nixon who said recently he would support a decision to send troops into Indochina if the French pull out, presided and was first speaker at this morning's opening business session.

the Russian test of last August.
Rep. Cole aimed his statement at reports from former government officials and other congressional sources that the Russians somehow had got the jump on American scientists in developing the hydrogen bomb.
One of the reports he had in mind was a statement Rep. Hosmer made in Long Beach, April 19. Rep. Hosmer said then that the Russian test proved that a principle discarded by U.S. scientists was workable.
"We then proceeded immediately to build our H-bombs along these new simplified lines and are now testing them in the Pacific," he said.
The statement created considerable interest because Hosmer is a former counsel of the Atomic Energy commission who once worked at the atomic laboratory at Los Alamos, N.M.
Rep. Cole, in a letter to Rep. Hosmer dated yesterday, said "it is not difficult to understand how such false impressions can be created, especially in the minds of the public generally which is denied so much information concerning the development programs of Russia and ourselves."
In his remarks today, Rep. Hosmer said his earlier statement "apparently was interpreted to mean we copied their bomb instead of that both nations were independently following the same nuclear theories."
After the Russian hydrogen test last August, there were unofficial reports the Communists had found a new material or triggering method which American scientists had not yet developed. These reports received new currency after the March U.S. test blast in which, according to reliable sources, materials in new forms and proportions were used.
