some to wonder whether the monarch planned to be out of the country if her sister and the 40-year-old divorced air hero decide to marry about that time.

26, (P)- A U.S. Air Force B29 carrying a crew of 10 crashed on land near here after sending a distress signal while over the Irish Sea, police reported early today.

In its message to ships in the area, the Coast Guard said: "Aircraft located. Crashed inland 50 miles northeast of Liverpool. Crew not located but in all probability also inland."

His Comment on they De Chatter to Stevenson Lead WASHINGTON, 25 (P) Ohio's Governor Frank Lausche got a political boost from two Southern Democrats today. Their words indicated a possible Dixie challenge to Adlai E. Stevenson and other potential top contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination. Sen. Russell (D-Ga), who ran unsuccessfully for the nomination Stevenson won in 1952, said he thinks Lausche could become "a very formidable candidate because he represents a middle-of-the-road viewpoint in the Democratic Party."

McClellan (D-Ark) said in kind of deadlock develops at next August's party convention, Lausche might easily attract Southern support. Lausche, five Governor who has not always worked closely with his party's organization, said in New York he was grateful for Russell's praise. "I deeply appreciate the confidence which he has in me," Lausche said. "I am very grateful, but beyond that I have no comment." Lausche has indicated he may bid for 8 "favorite son" designation giving him control of Ohio's 54 presidential nominating votes. The Ohio Governor has been mentioned in the past AS a possible recipient of support from Southern Democrats who rallied behind Russell in 1952.

Russell's praise of Lausche took on added significance in this respect. The Georgia 'Senator said he wasn't committing himself to any candidate. But he said. he regards Lausche to be a "little more conservative than some of these other fellows" who may be seeking the party nomination. Observing that he wasn't attempting to speak for the Souths Russell said: "However, political courage appeals to the people in our part of the country, Governor Lausche has demonstrated political courage.

He doesn't bend his knee every time some organization tries to call the turn." Not Launching "Boom" Russell told a news conference he was not launching any "Lausche boom." He said he had first brought up Lausche's name when he was asked in New York on his return from Europe earlier in the day about possible "dark horse As matter of fact, Russell said he considers Stevenson the leading candidate for next year's Democratic nomination. He noted that in 1952 he had issued a statement urging Georgians to support Stevenson "and they gave him the biggest majority he got in any state." "If Stevenson says he is willing to run and the convention were to be held tomorrow I think he would win," Russell said. "He was a candidate in 1952 and that gives him a bulge. He was a very able candidate. I think everyone agreed on Russell said that if President Eisenhower does not run he is highly optimistic over Democratic chances.

"If we can keep the extremists on both flanks of the party in line, I think we'll win," he said. The Georgia Senator said that he himself isn't going to get in the presidential race again.

TAR 26, 1955 SENATORS GIVEN BOOSTIDEMAND BENSON HIS POST Minnesota Farmer Startles Hearing with Call for Secretary's Ouster LARGE GROUP IS DIVIDED Many Hidit Defender of New Price Supports WORTHINGTON, Oct.

25 (P) Demands for the resignation of Secretary of Agriculture Benson brought cheers today from a farm audience participating in a Senatel Agriculture Committee hearing on farm problems. Later a witness who defended Benson's flexible farm price support policies drew cheers, however. Moments later he got boos from the sharply divided gathering when he criticized the high supports of the Truman administration. Farmers Offer Program Bert Bellig, who said he farms near Sanborn, with his wife and five children, set off the fireworks when he offered a farm program that started with the demand: "Ezra Taft Benson must go." Loud cheers and applause arose from the audience, estimated by committee officials at about 400. Both Democratic and Republican members of the committee, which is touring the country seeking farm views on how to boister the agriculture economy, sat.

stone-faced and silent. Later Wendell Brown, young farmer from nearby Spirit Lake, Iowa, got a cheer when he defended the administration's flexible price support program and its policies designed to limit restrictions on farmers. "We farmers are more to blame for our present problem of low hog prices than the government," Brown declared, "because we over-produced. The government didn't tell us to over-produce." The boos came when Brown, in answer te a committee question, said he believed price supports at the Truman era of 90 per cent of parity were too Administration supports range from 75 to 90 per cent on major crops. (Parity is a standard for measuring farm prices declared by law to be fair to farmers in relation to prices they must pay.) Organizations Take Sides As was the case at its opening hearing at St.

Paul yesterday, farmer who identified themselves as members of the Farmers Union urged full- parity supports, production payments and a so-called "soil fertility bank" program under which farmers would be paid sizable amounts from the Treasury to take surplus lands out: of production. On the other hand, farmers, who identified themselves with the rival Farm Bureau Federation generally endorsed the flexible support system and opposed production payments. Some, however, agreed with the soil bank idea. The hearing was marked also by a defense of city workers by Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn.) after Brown had criticized what he called a "labor monopoly." Referring to wage increases, Brown suggested that perhaps farmers should set up an "open shop" food processing plant and sell food at cheaper DIES IN TAMPA TAMPA, Oct.

Harrington, like Andrews, is an accountant. He is a partner in the accounting firm of Ernst Ernst, with headquarters at Cleveland, Humphrey's home town. Harrington said in a telephone interview earlier today he had previously been only casually acquainted with Humphrey but that his partners knew the secretary better. Harrington is 65.

He said today he had been a partner in Ernst Ernst for 15 years and had been with the Arm for 35 years. He is manager of the firm's Providence, R.I., branch. Harrington is treasurer of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and for the past three years had been vice president. He is a past- president of the Providence Chamber of Humphrey's announcement said that Harrington is severing his business partnership and his other business connections.

During November, between the effective date of Andrews' resignation and Harrington's accession to the post, O. Gordon Delk, deputy commissioner of internal revenue, will be acting commissioner.
