Benson Pleased Farm Plan
Is Major Election Issue
ByTHI ASSOCIATED PRESS
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
said in Spokane Sunday he was
glad the adminitration's farm
plan is one of the major issues
in the fall elections.
Winding up a northwest tour that
also took bim to Western Wash
ington's rich dairy country, the
secretary said:
"The farm program of the ad
ministration is a sound program
and it is well received by farmers
everywhere. 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. Benton
added that most farm products are
not supported at all or are al
ready on a flexible basis
In the State of Washington, only
34 per cent of farm cash market
ing receipts come from the five
basic commodities receiving flex
ible supports, he explained.

paralyzed communications la the

The TI.S Air Force said the

"We bave a two-year supply of
wheat on hand," the secretary add
ed. "We must bring this record
breaking surplus down to man
ageable proportions. When that
happens, wheat growers will also
get a higher support price under
Hie flexible program."
At Bellingham Saturday, Benson
told a Republican hind-raising din
ner that he didn't think "the farm
vote of this nation is for sale to
the highest bidder."
"I don't believe the farmers of
America will swallow the line that
to be a friend of the farmer one
must favor high and rigid price
supports and be ready to hand out
a government dollar as soon as
some political presure group asks
lor it."
In his Everett address, before
the Washington State Council of
Farm Cooperatives, the secretary
said that the idea of lower support
prices has been accepted by farm
ers, dairymen and consumers
alike, and they have "successfully
adjusted to it." .
Benson's northwest visit carried
him through Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. He said he found the
outlook in those three states fa
vorable for the Eisenhower ad
ministration Red Threat Is Aired

Pacific and reafirming our at
votion to certain policies. "
He added:
"These are,' of course, to defend
the vital interests of the U. S
wherever they may arise, to maka
better partners of old friends, and
to get new friends wherever we
can.
"And of course, where our vital
interests demand it, to support
them in their security and in their
own Interests."
The President said Sunday's se
ourity council meeting the first
ever held outside of Washington
"was unprecedented, but H was
also very natural."
He went on to say that he had
not met with the council for more
than two weeks, and that Dulles'
return from the Orient provided
an cpportiWM'ty for the council to
review the situation in the Far
East.
"We met In order that all of us
together could have the benefit of
hts observations and me details
of his report," Eisenhowrr de
clared. .
Dulles arrived back In Washing
ton Monday morning and said
there it is American policy to keep
the Chinese Communist guessing
as to whether the United States
will defend Ouemov.
Eisenhower's statement Monday
was made before -newsreel and tel
evision camera in a .conference
room in Vh administration build
ing at Lowry Air Force Base, his
vacation headquarters.
Before Sunday's council session,
Eisenhower conferred with FBI
chief J. Edgar Hoover and Atty.
Gen. Brewnell on the Red threat
on the home front. After that con
ference. Hoover and Brownell de
clared the administration's goal is
to "utterly destroy the Communist
Party" in the United States.

he had known in February that

that he had no knowledge of any
