The export0 sales from gov ernment surplus stocks would be a "gradual start" toward whittling down the govern ment's eight million bale sur plus, Benson said. Any f sales below current U. S. prices will not be "perma iiet policy," Benson added. He teid "competitive price" sales "would be a temporary measure n designed to tep up export UJ until Congress can reduce gov ernment price support levels to "Vut the entire American crop "in a more competitive posi tion," Benson said.

They did not deny that this might be the subject of an even tual accord, and this was widely believed in formal circles to be the pattern of the final solution.

President Signs Bill Authorizing Trinity Project o Washington (U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower signed into law Friday a bill authorizing the $225,000,000 Trinity River Pro ject in California. The project was the only one of a half dozen major water and power proposals to be approved by Congress in the recent ses sion. Construction can start offic ially immediately. Since Con gress included 31,000,000 for it in a public works appropriation bill. However, Rep.' Clair Engle (D-Calif.), the author of the bill, said the speed with which it can be built may be determined by the amount of money the admin istration recommends for it in the next fiscal year. He and other sponsors plan to ask the Interior Department and the Budget Bureau to rec ommend $15,000,000 (or more for fiscal 1957). The project would take five years to complete. The main structure is Trinity dam, about 450 feet high and costing $105, 000,000. The authorization bill, approv ed earlier by the House, went through the Senate three days before the session's end, after bills for five other western rec lamation projects ran into road blocks. . The projects delayed at least until next session include the $1,000,000,000 Upper Colorado, the $500,000,000 Hells canyon, the $156,000,000 Fryingpan-Ar- kansas, the $40,000,000 Washita in Oklahoma and the $27,000, 000 Ventura in California. The Trinity bill leaves for fu ture congressional decision a "partnership development plan proposed by the Pacific Gas and Electric company." The utility offered to build the four power houses involved and to pay the government $3,500,000 a year for the project's power potenital. The bill directs the Interior Department to study the propos al and make a recommendation, to Congress by February of 1957. Trinity would be built and operated as a unit of the larger Central Valley Project. That was started nearly 20 years ago and more . than $400,000,000 has been spent on it so far.
