Salem, Oregon, Thursday, March 28, 1957 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL" RflxswiMiglit Adk Leeway in Setting Props WASHINGTON m Secretary Agriculture Benson may ask Congre:s this year to give the gov ernment greater leeway in setting (uture farm price supports. He told newsmen yesterday that euch authority will be necessary if agriculture is tti avoid a new buildup of costly farm surpluses once the present oversupply is dis posed of through give-away, ex port subsidy and temporary land retiremenl programs. Benson said the administration would have the support o( its 18 member national agricultural ad visory commission in making a request for such legislation. The commission, which is composed of IS farm leaders and educators, discussed the long-range farm out look at a closed two-day confer ence which ended Tuesday. The present administration sponsored flexible price support law carries a formulafor deter mining price support levels for such major crops as cotton, corn, wheat, rice and peanuts. Supports must be increased as surpluses decline. Likewise, they may be lowered as surpluses increase. But they may not go lower than 75 per cent of parity, nor higher than 90 per cent. Section 2 Page 5 Bermuda Conference Fails by Long Way to Heal Anglo-U.S. Rift Welfare Chief Would Ferret Out Alcoholics CHICAGO im A welfare offi cial proposed Thursday that a system be worked out for finding and treating budding alcoholics before they lose their jobs and break up their homes. Henry L. McCarthy, New York City's commissioner of welfare, said there is a "whole unexplored area of possible service and treat ment for the alcoholic who is headed for but hasn't yet reached bottom." He told the National Council on Alcoholism that a program for finding these "hidden alcoholics" Is a "proper area of exploration by public authorities as well as by private agencies." McCarthy suggested that one method of automatic case-finding would be to create organized fa cilities to which the alcoholic's friends, relatives, physician or clergy could refer them if their efforts failed. McCarthy said in a speech pre pared for the council that suffi cient success can be assured with present knowledge to justify the cost of special facilities. He added: "If only one family is saved from long term dependency say a family ot a young man with sev eral small children the saving in relief dollars will reach many By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Staff Correipongent The Bermuda conference un doubtedly has strengthened the al liance between the "United States and Great Britain. President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Harold Macmillan met as old friends. Reports of the conference reflected an atmos here of cordiality. The two leaders announced agreement on a num ber of big issues. But it is likely that Britain un der Macmillan's leadership will show a considerable degree of in dependence in its relations with the United States. The breach1 in the alliance which resulted from the British-French invasion ot the Suez Canal Zone was a serious one. Breach Influenced Eden It certainly had a great deal to do with the resignation of Sir Anthony Eden. Eden pleaded ill health when he stepped down. He really is in bad health. But his condition was aggravated by strain. Eden's resignation, and. Mac millan's succession to the prime ministry, constituted an important turning point in British politics. Eden had succeeded Sir Winston Churchill after having been his po litical heir for many years. He carried on where Churchill left oft, But Macmillan's succession to the prime ministry last Jan. 10 marked a distinct break in the continuity of British policy toward the United States. Resentment is still strong in Britain over the attitude Presi dent Eisenhower and Secretary ot State John Foster Dulles took to ward the Suez invasion. Aimed At Ike, Dulle There seems 10 be feeling among many Britons that the President and Dulles went out ot their way to humiliate Eden, aside from the fact that they made no '.Itempt to conceal their anger over the British-French action. Britons seem to feel also that lor a long time their country had acted as a sort of junior partner in the Anglo-American alliance. The immediate effect of the Suez dispute was to take Britain closer to France. Another was to weaken the reluctance of Britain 'o tie its economy more closely to lununemai Europe It will be necessary for Macmil lan to make sure that nothing he does can be criticized, either in side his own Conservative Party or outside of it, as permitting Britain to be a tail dragged along by an American political kite. The Bermuda communique Is sued after the Eisenhower-Mac-raillan talks spoke of agreements oil Middle Eastern polify. But there remains wide difcernce on some aspects of it. Britain still feels that the right course in the Suez dispute is to get tough with President Gamal Abdcl Nasser of Egypt. It would be surprising it Macmillan am not feel that the United States let Bri tain down on that issue. It is unlikely that President Eisenhower approves of Macmil lan's determination to reduce the strength of British forces assigned to the North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization as an economy meaS' ure. Events in the next few months probably will show that though the Anglo-American alliance has been strengthened it has not been re stored fully Food Costlier At Wholesale NEW YORK W Wholesale food prices, as measured by the Dun tc Bradstreet food Index, were slightly higher this week.
