If President Eisenhower has his

Winston which start late this week
will be held in the White House,
with no side excursions.
This would appear to rule out
a quick trip to Camp David for
Saturday and Sunday, unless the
prime minister expresses a desire to
see the President’s farm on the
historic Gettysburg battlefield.

Love Os Patinos
HOME flP> The third love drama to engulf the tin
rich latino family this year broke today, when the moth
er-in-law of divorce-seeking George Ortiz Patino said her
daughter Dagmar could never let him go.
George la the brother of Jaime
Otiis Patino, whose Atoerlcan cov
er girl bride, Joanne Connelley, ran
out on their Roman honeymoon two
week* ago and still is hiding from
him somewhere in Europe.
George and Jaime are cousins
of Isabel Patino, who eloped to
Scotland last winter with English
man Junes Goldsmith despite the
angry opposition of her father. Don
Antenor Patino, heir to Bolivian tin
millions. Isabel died last month in
Paris while giving birth to her first
child.
CHECKING TAPERS
Don Arthur has been striving to
make the Bolivian family into a
patrician line, bat without much
luck.
He flew from Paris' to London
todt week to help Jaime try to

he was doing this, George was get

trial of his Impending divorce suit

Rigid Controls |
Proof Os Need,
Official Says
WASHINGTON (IP) Un
dersecretary of Agriculture
D. Morse said today
the drastic farm production
controls planned by the ad
ministration for next year
demonstrate “the urgent
need for a change” in the
presfent farm price support
law.
In a speech before a national
poultry improvement plan confer
ence. he said the prospective con
trols including a sharp eutback
in wheat acreage will “tend to
slow down” the entire American
But he said Agriculture
Secretary Ezra T. Benson had no
choice , but to impose the controls
to halt growing farm surpluses.
Morse blamed present rigid high
price supports which farm state
congressmen want to extend —for
helping to. “bring about the unbal
anced productlan" that called forth
ttye rigid planting controls. The ad
ministration wants to change to
flexible and generally lower sup
ports at the e nd of this year to dis
courage overproduction.
UNDER PRESSURE
Morse said the prosperity of the
United States “will be put under
further pressure as more" of the
farm business ls\clo6ed down” by
planning controls.
He said limits on cash crop pro
duction will mean "less profits” for
farmers and “less business” for
these who serve farmers.
Benson yesterday anno:meed that
any farmer next year whd violates
a basic crop acreage allotment will
forfeit price supports on all crops.
In addition, he said the nation’s
largest producers will have across,
the-board controls on all crops
they grow.
The House Agriculture Commit
tee meanwhile voted to exempt
farmers in Louisiana, Florida and
the six New England states from
marketing quotas on wheat and to
cut their support price by 25 per
cent.
Rep. Harold D. Cdoley D-NO,
senior Democrat on the committee,
denounced the new planting curbs
and accused Benson of “attempting
to make himself a dictator and
czar over the American fanners.”
