Biddeford Clerk Trial Sees Deschambault Align With Binette
Deschambault testified in Biddeford court on the third day of the trial of City Clerk Raoul J. Binette charged with larceny of 1292.08 dollars from city funds. He denied going to contractor Lucien Bourque’s home with Binette to receive payment for gravel and described a confrontation over fill from a city pit while recounting a November 1960 meeting with Bourque at a Democratic Social club. Bourque claimed the officials collected 2012 dollars for gravel and that 720 dollars plus 1292.08 in cash were delivered to his desk. Additional witnesses, including other city officials and paper publisher, corroborated the social club gathering and payments with varying recollections.

Plan to subsidize domestic cotton use eyed by advisers
A national cotton advisory committee proposed keeping the export subsidy and adding a domestic-use subsidy to cotton. This shift would raise government costs unless the price support is cut from 33 to about 27 cents per pound, a move unlikely due to grower opposition. The plan also allows growers to sell excess cotton at world prices beyond their allotments.
