PAGE TWO W Vote on Wheat Plan Causes Concern to JFK WASHINGTON HP) Presi dent Kennedy expressed grave concern yesterday that the wheat limners' emphatic rejection of hi;> control program would harm the growers without helping the con- sumers, He said he didn’t agree with the choice made by the farmers but he would accept it. Sime of those who urged the farmers to reject the wheat plan, he said, may have misled them. The effect of the big “no” vole is unlimited production and no price supports at all next year. The administration has said this could throw the wheat market into chaos and plunge the price as low as $1 a bushel. REPUBLICANS eonfid en 11 y predicted that new wheat leglisla tion would pass before Congress adjourns to prevent such a dis aster. But the President repeated that no such legislation would be of fered, and administration leaders down the line stoutly backed him up. Kennedy said “the farmers have chosen to plant freely without controls and without that high support.” "Even though I didn’t agree with the choice, I recognize and accept it and we hope that it does not have an adverse effect,” he said. The President scoffed at Repub lican suggestions that the useful ness of Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman had come to an end. Freeman had also predicted re- Millions Welcome Astronaut Cooper In New York City NF,W YORK (/!’) - Astronaut Gordon Cooper rode up Broad way yesterday to a roaring, ador ing ticker tape accolade from New York’s millions. Later, at a civic luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria, where 1,900 dignitaries rose to their feet in ovation, and where he received the city's Medal of Honor, Cooper made one of the shortest accept ance speeches in memory. "I DON'T generally say very much," Cooper declared. “I’m so impressed that today I’m going to say even less. On behalf of my self and the entire Mercury team, I want to thank you very much.’' That was it. Cooper sat down. And a delighted audience that in cluded former President Herbert Hoover cheered the taciturn hero to the very ceiling of the ball room. Unofficial police estimates—ad mittedly only a guess—set the crowd turnout for Cooper at 4 to 4Vi million, about par for the course. The noise and color of the demonstration was reminiscent of Charles A. Lindberg’s welcome to New York 36 years ago, after his solo flight across the Atlantic. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK. PENNSYLVANIA jection would mean a chaotic market with wheat selling as low as St a bushel. His plan would have guaranteed $2 a bushel for most wheat, coupled with strict bushel-by-bushel controls of pro duction to cut surpluses. FREEMAN indicated he would hold the fanners to their choice. “The point of view which pre vailed in the referendum is enti tled to a full and fair trial,” he said. Only five states gave the ad ministration plan more than the required two-thirds approval, and these all were in the South. Ten Midwest or Far West wheat states gave it more than 50 per cent, but less than two-thirds. One explanation for the strong support given in the South was that this is an area of very small wheat growers who are used to rigid controls for other area crops such as tobacco, peanuts and cot ton. President Urges Cooperation from People in South WASHINGTON (JP) Presi dent Kennedy said yesterday he “would hope the law-abiding peo ple of Alabama would follow the judgment of the court" and ad mit Negro students to the state university. He said he would be reluctant to invoke use of federal marshals or troops. The first question at a presi dential news conference sought Kennedy's attitude toward the announcement by Gov. George C. Wallace that he personally would bar the entry of any Negro to the university of Alabama. The Pres ident was asked whether in that event U.S. marshals might be brought in, as they were in Mis sissippi. “I hope that would prove un necessary,” the President said. He said he hoped the problem Announces its new members: George A. Barbier, Jr. Robert B. Blakeslee Willis M. Conover 7 Jr. Party-Backed By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The results of Pennsylvania’s primary election show clearly that organization-backed candi dates came out ahead in virtually every place they were challenged. There were some exceptions, but generally, party leaders re joiced that their nominees found voter favor. The turnout, roughly a quarter of the state’s 5V2 million register ed, was one of the smallest in primary history. The big exception to strict or ganization control was in counties where Sen. Joseph S. Clark, a Democrat, supported independ ents. And toting up, Clark won seven of the 11 contests in which he had indicated a choice. This was a small turnout in a city with about 600,000 Democratic voters and where President Ken nedy in 1960 had rolled up a 331,000 majority. Clark said: “The failure of two thirds of the Democratic voters in Philadelphia to respond to Chair man Green's frantic efforts to get would be settled by local au thorities and noted that the uni versity board of trustees had in dicated it would abide by court orders. The Alabama attorney general, Richmond Flowers, a political en emy of Wallace, has said vio lence could well result from ig noring federal court orders, followed by intervention of fed eral troops.

This didn’t too much disturb state Re publican leaders who called the cross-filing a Democratic trick that didn’t fool the voters. Nominated for new 10-year Su perior Court terms were Republi can incumbents Harold Ervin and T. Colvin Wright. They will be opposed again in the fall by Dem ocrats H.
