I am very well S leased that it is one of the major isues in the campaign, for the administration stands to gain." Benson, stopping briefly in Spo kane en route from Seattle to Brainard, Minn., d e c 1 a r ed he found the outlook favorable for the Eisenhower administration and stronger than a year ago. He reneated denials made in Everett and Bremerton Saturday that flexible price supports, as provided i the new law, would bring about sharp reductions in farm prices and income.
