Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, the two leading candidates for the Bomb Test Halt Urged By Murray WASHINGTON, Apirl-12 ( Atomic Energy Commissioner Thomas E. Murray said today the United States ought to stop test ing big H-bombs, regardless of what Russia does. "We should not. wait for the establishment of an international control agency," he told a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee which is studying various disarm ament proposals. Murray ran into critical ques tions from Sens. Alben W. Bark ley (D-Ky) and John W. Bricker (R-Ohio). The commissioner, an appointee of President Truman who has fre quently been a one-man minority on the five-member Atomic En ergy Commission, called for: i. A limit on the size and num ber of thermonuclear, or hydrogen bombs to be placed in the Ameri can stockpile. - He said he was actuated by both moral principles and the question of military use fulness. 2. More emphasis on a wide range of very small nuclear, or atomic, weapons which wou l d support "a theory of moderate Lnd discriminating use of forces against all aggression, including aggression that may be minor in degree."

STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Democratic presidential nomina tion. • In the Senate, Lyndon Johnson of Texas, the Democratic majority leader, said, "I hope the Presi dent will ignore the pleas of those who are urging him to use the club in the White House closet." But Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson has labeled the bill as "unacceptable," and many administration lieutenants in Con gress predict Eisenhower will veto it. rather than accept its return to high, rigid price supports for basic crops. , The National Farmers Union wired Eisenhower at Augusta, Ga. where he is playing golf between bill and "fire" Benson. The Na tional Grange declared farmers would lose badly needed relief this year unless the bill became law. The third big agricultural group, the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, disagreed. •It said in a statement last night enactment of the measure would mean a "re turn to the discredited programs that contributed to- much of the present glutted market situation." James C. Hagerty, the Presi dent's press secretary, said Eisen hower "still does not think the bill meets the test of a good bill." Hagerty added the President never makes up his mind about legislation until it is on his desk and that he probably will not reach a decision until his return to Washington next week. In a telegram addressed to Ei senhower at the Augusta National Golf Club, James G. Pattan, presi dent of the Farmers Union, said the farm bill would "add nearly three billion dollars to farm in come in 1956."
