Firm Newt Roundup
WASHINGTON I TI ' - Ayri
' culture Secretary Kra Tuft Ben
son predicts that Congress will
pass leg'slation to cut the multi-billion-dollar
wheat surplus even
though farm income is expected
to tumble next year.
Benson said that by next July
t. the government will have a'Kiul
$3,500,000,000 invested in surplus
wheat piled up under the present
price support and acreage control
program.
It soon will cost the government
$1.2"i0.00u a day for storage, hand
ling and interest on Die backlog,
he said.
Benson admitted the predicted
drop in liKSO farm income holds
some danger for the administra
tion's proposed slash in wheat
price supports .
But he told a news conference
yesterday:
"1 can t help but feel that Con
gress will take note of this 'sur
plus cost' and pass remedial leg
islation." 1 TENTH BODY IDENTIFIED
MIAMI (CPU National Air
lines today announced positive
identification of another body, the
tenth so far, in the Gulf of Mexi
co crash of a Tampa. Fla.. to
New Orleans flight which killed
42 persons.
The latest victim identified was
Arnold Brooks Bates of Fort
Lauderdale, Fla.
ment, Tass news agency reported
Sunday.
The Agriculture Department ha
ii healed that net farm income
next year will fall to the lowest
level since I!t42.
Benson said the overall farm
income picture is not as gloomy
as reports indicate, partly be
cause of a record-high income
from non-farm jobs and because
I here will be some Improvement
in prices for hogs and dairy and
poultry products.
He said farmers are showing
increasing support for his propo
sal to trim wheat support prices
and eliminate federal planting
controls.
WASHINGTON LPl An Ag
riculture Department report
showed today that the volume of
nio-t grains moving Into federal
price support programs was down
from last year's level.
But it wasn't true for corn and
rice. Through Oct. 31, more than
2.7UO.OOO bushels of corn were un
der support, twice the amount in
the same period last year. For
coin, however, it was still early
in i he price-support season.
Through the same date, nearly
2.k).'xm) hundredweight of rice
were under support, up more
than 23 per cent from last year.
But price support activity (or
wheat was down sharply. About
2li2.575.OO0 bushels of 1959KTOp
w heat were under support through
Oct. 31. This compared with near
ly 434 millions bushels one year
earlier.
There also were substantial de
creases in price supiwrt activity
for barley, oats, and grain sor
ghums, the department reported.
