J t (Sec 2) Statesman, Salem, Orsw Thursw March 11 .1854 Benson Urges 'Showdown Price Suppo on rts Boy Finds Body of Man ROSEBURG (A A boy at play came across the body of Frank Woodard, 58," under the Calapooya River bridge on Highway S3, about 16 miles north of here Tuesday. Police believe he had been hit by a car or fallen off the bridge. There was t deep sash in back of the head.. I WASHINGTON un Secretary gram of graduated price supports of Agriculture Benson said Wed-1 before the House Agriculture Com nesday "it might be just as well mittee. 'to have a. showdown now" in the Earlier, he told the committee controversy over continuing rigid that he "probably would advise high - level farm price supports. President Eisenhower to veto any Benson's statement was made to bill 1 passed 4 by Congress which newsmen at the conclusion of an would extend mandatory high sup- all-day defense of the Eisenhower ports past this. year.. . ms snowaown assertion was made in response to reports that the 1 Senate might' try to attach mandatory high price support re quirements to an administration - approved mil providing subsidy supports for 'wool- Shewdewn' Now "It might be just as well to have a showdown now," he said, but added he would have "no objec tions" if the wool bill were with drawn pending final action on the whole new farm program. Sen. Ellender (I-La) Tuesday introduced in the Senate a bill ex tending present rigid price sup ports on basic crops at 90 per cent of parity for another two years. He was joined by Sen. Young (R ND). among -others.- Parity is price standard fixed by law as fair to farmers in relation, to the cost of basic things they buy. Benson was the lead-off witness before the House committee as it began hearings' on the' administra tion's proposed farm program of flexible price supports. Gradual Transition He assured the committee there would be a "gradual and cautious' transition from the present high- level support program to one flexible supports keyed to supply and demand. He said ! the present law had failed to. maintain farm prices at desirable levels, and that the gov ernment's current support activi ties "may be the most costly in our history. "There are better ways to spend public money than, for the contin ued accumulation of unneeded (surplus) reserves, without equiv alent benefits to farmers or con sumers," he declared. Solons Disagree Benson immediately ran into trouble with House committee members, a majority of whom ap pear committed to present rigid high supports. The political implications of the farm dispute now dividing the White House and Congress were underscored by Rep. Cooley of North Carolina, top committee Democrat, in sharp questioning. Reluctantly, Benson conceded to Cooley that he likely would recom mend a presidential veto of any action taken by Congress to con tinue the present farm support program.
