Kefauver as
'56 Nominee
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON (UPl-Sem Estes
Kefauver's chance' of winning 'the
1956 Democratic presidential nomi-
nation is no more than fair but hei
1 is the man to watch next year,
. ; For one solid reason:: Kefauver
is a serious obstacle in the path
- of Adlai E. Stevenson. The middle
' aged 52) Tennessee senator has no
formally announced for the 1956
. contest He is going through the
preliminary motions, however, and !
the, odds are long that Stevenson j
v must get by Kefauver to win.
Sitting back cool, comfortable
ana -jnm an ace in the hole is
Gov. ' AvereQ Harriman of New
York.' The fates of these three
men. .who are so unlike, are tied
securely together; the political Da
vy-Crockett from Tennessee, the
polished, easy ; - mannered man
from Illinois, and Harriman, who
would be the richest president
since George Washington.
Stevenson's Decision Approaches
' The season is approaching when
v Stevenson must say yes or no
,to the question whether he will run

Stevenson again.
' , That's where - Kefauver's coon
skin cap will be right in the center
of the ring. The senator is a deadly

Lost at Convention
The Tennessee senator orobablv
had the largest public following of
any Democrat when the national
convention assembled in Chicago in
-1952. Kefauver was well ahead on
the first two ballots, then the pro-

A series of primary losses to Ke

Campaign on
Farm Issues !!
. ' j.
WASHINGTON fl Secretary
of Agriculture Benson said Sunday
it is "perfectly all right" with him
if farm problems falling prices
and crop surpluses are a major
campaign issue next year. Farm
ers "are not going to be i stam
peded," he said. f j
- "I think agriculture - is funda
mentally sound," Benson said. "I
think there is every indication of
that I. think we are going to see
some improvement in farm 'prices
as we get a better balance between
production and consumption id this
country." j j -
Democrats; have been hammer
ing', away at the farm issue for
some time. And Republican state
chairmen agreed at a recent meet
ing here that declining farm prices
offered the greatest political threat
to the election of a GOP Congress
in 1956. ; . , ' ' j
There" . have been demands by
Democrats, and even some; Repub
licans, that President Eisenhower
get a new agriculture secretary.
Benson, appearing with his I wife
and five of his six children. ! in a
filmed TV ' interview , on I NBCs
Youth Wants To Know, said the
farmers don t feel they're tod bad
off now. I j
;, Despite lower prices for farm
products, the secretary said, there
will be record or near record per
acre crop yields this year and that.
he said, will mean more
for the farmers.

He said public opinion polls! tak-
en recently indicate "most farm-
ers feel their income this year will
be as good if not a little better
than last year. j j
Benson said there were these
other indications of ' continuing
prosperity for farmers: " (I) jReal
estate values are 2 per cent higher
than last year; 2 the ratio of
debt to total farm assets isi It per
cent compared to 19 per pent in
1940; (3) farm machinery j pur
chases are up 20 per cent this:
year; (4) the per capita income of
farmers the past year showed a
small increase despite the generaTi
decline in farm prices.
Benson repeated what the

the Eisenhower administration will
offer new legislation to Congress
next year which he expects! will
help the farmers. I. j
Benson said the administration
wants to give farmers greater! free

WASHINGTON (f) The Air

day that the nation be told exactly
where and how any Air Force
budget cuts might be applied.
The privately supported organi
zation of airpower . supporters,
which frequently acts as an un
official mouthpiece for the Air
Force, also voiced strong opposi
tion to ' ' any further delays - or
stretchouts in the buildup to 137
combat-ready .wings. .
"The Congress : and the people
of the United States are entitled
to know the areas which will be
affected if these cuts are made,
and the effects of these reductions
on the nation's ability to defend
itself," ' AFA President GUI Robb
Wilson said in a statement
"Balancing the national budget
must ever be an objective of the
administration x x x However, we
must seriously question any pro
posal which would reduce the com
bat effectiveness of our Air Force
at this point in world affairs." ,
Wilson, a New York magazine
publisher, said there are no ap
parent areas where proposed cuts
could be made without serious ef
fects on the present 137-wing pro
