Fort Myers (Fla.) News. Press, Tuesday, Sept. 8, 1959 Morse Slows Senate's Work On Labor Day But Farm Surplus Measure Passes; House Speeds Along (Continued from Page One) senhower vetoed. The new bill, at $1,185,309,093, is smaller than the vetoed one but still contains 67 projects Eisenhower described as objectionable because of their ultimate cost Further, House Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex) indicated there will be action on a third housing bill before adjournment. Eisenhower vetoed the first two as extravagant and inflationary.

Food Stamp Plan The Senate wrote an experimental revival of the depression-era food stamp plan into a bill authorizing a vast extension of the surplus crop disposal program. The bill, going well beyond what the Eisenhower administration had asked and the House had voted, was passed by 68-14 roll call. Senator Holland of Florida voted for the bill, while Smathers was not recorded. A Senate-House conference committee now will attempt to work out a compromise which is virtually certain to include some version of the food stamp plan. Administration spokesmen have argued a food stamp plan.

At Retail Stores Under the stamp plan, needy persons could buy surplus foods at retail grocery stores, paying for the with stamps. obtained through state welfare authorities. This is much the way it was done in the depression. The Senate version order Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson to launch the 15- million-dollar food stamp program experimentally in not fewer than three nor more than six communities.

The House voted to authorize the secretary to experiment with such a plan, stopping short of a order. direct, bill as passed by the senate calls for a three year, 41- billion-dollar program for the sale of surplus farm commodities overseas for payment in foreign rencidiministration had asked for a one year extension and a 1 limit on the foreign currency sales the same figures carried in the House bill.

On a table nearby was the missing trooper's gun, which Knight doggedly insisted he bought from a hitchhiker for $10. Ex-Convict's Story Lt. Howard Whaley, to whom Knight finally broke after 1 28 hours of almost continuious questioning, said the ex-convict told him this story of events: Souden drove to Knight's home Thursday and informed him a 1953 Cadillac believed used in the factory burglary had been traced to that address.

Knight said the car wasn't his, but belonged to his stepfather. 'Souden asked Knight along to the Brighton state police post for questioning. Knight said he'd like to have a spot of coffee and get dressed first. When he went to a bedroom, he got a ,38. pistol concealed beneath the bed and had the drop on Souden when he came downstairs.

At gunpoint Souden was forced into his cruiser, with Knight riding in the rear seat. He directed the trip to the thickety, swampy area where the grave was found today intending to tie the trooper to a tree so he make a getaway. But the trooper bolted and he shot. After abandoning grave-digging, he pulled brush over the shallowly concealed body and fled 150 miles north to the cabin where he was taken. Child Health Day Date Is Shifted WASHINGTON, Sept.
