Sec. Benson Asks Public for Ideas on
How to Solve Nation’s Farm Problems
(By the Associated Pbkw)
• N
Foreign policy, farm problems,:
the relation „of government to big
business—and plain politics with
out any special label—were fea
tured on today’s political bill of
fare.
The menu:
Farm—Secretary of Agriculture
Benson, under fire from Demo
crats and some others who center
criticism on the administration’s
flexible farm price support policy,
appealed to the public for ideas on
how to solve t'le riddles of over
production, surpluses and falling
grower income.
- In a speech prepared for the
annual convention of the National
Grange in Cleveland, Benson said
anything will be considered—ex
cept a return to the old fixed,
high-level supports. He said the
administration has made progress
toward a solution but conceded
flexible supports alone will not do
the job.
Benson went to Cleveland with
new White House backing in the
form of a statement by Press Sec
retary Hagerty that President Eis
enhower never has entertained
any suggestion to let him out of
the Cabinet.
Big Business— Gov. Averell
Harriman of New York, speaking
in Milwaukie, Ore., yesterday, de
nounced the Eisenhower Admin
istration for what he called a
“partnership with big business.”
The New Yorker, who says he is
not an active candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion, called for the return of Sen.
Morse (D-Ore) to the * Senate to
help break up the relationship.
Harriman said the result of bus
iness - government “partnership”
has been “plowing farmers under
at a time when corporations are
making record profits.”
Foreign—Sen. Clifford P. Case
(R-NJ) in a statement cautioned
Democrats not to destroy biparti
sanship in foreign policy by “neg
ative criticism.”
Sen. Bridges (R-NH), chairman
of the Senate Republican Policy
Comrnittee, disputed Democratic
contentions that the West failed
>
at the Geneva Big Four confer
ence. He contended instead, that
the Russians “failed in , foisting
on the world a phony peace of
fensive.”
Stevenson, Kefauver and Harri
man all have hit at Eisenhower
Administration operations in the
foreign field in recent days.
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
Jr., U.S. delegate to the United
Nations, will speak on “accom
plishments” in foreign policy at a
National Republican Committee
dinner in Chicago Nov. 30.
Just Politics—Kefauver con
ferred with Senate Democratic
leader Johnson of Texas, at John
son’s ranch home near Austin. Ke
fauver said in advance he was go
ing “to talk politics.” He said he
was “not necessarily” seeking the
Texan’s support for the nomina
tion but would “certainly wel
come” it.
PANSY BROWNIES
We Brownies had a Surprise
Party for Mrs. Goins and Mrs.
Baldwin, our leaders, this week.
They liked it very much.

Nung, who is called the “Divine
Healer” and who was supposed to
have lived about 2737 B.C.
