Cabinet Divided;
Day Near When
Ike Must Be Told
By LYLE C. WILSON
United Press Correspondent
"Washington U.R There's
serious trouble deep inside the
Eisenhower administration. If
the President
has not yet
been informed
of it, the day
is near when
he must be
told.
The cabinet
is divided and
a c t i vely dis
puting what
should be done
about the price
squeeze on farmers. The farm
ers' costs remam hign. At tne
same time they are getting less
for what they produce and sell.
This is notably true of farm ma
chinery and of hogs.
Corn-hog producers and the
great mid -western corn -hog
states long have been the bed
rock of the Republican political
structure. Falling pork and lard
prices have jarred foundation
and structure with an earth
quaie shock.
Vice - President Richard M.
Nixon, Attorney General Herbert
Brownell Jr. and Postmaster
General Arthur Summerfield
are among those battling to
force Agriculture Secretary
Ezra Taft Benson's hand in be
half of hog raisers. Benson has
been . standing pat, confident
that President Eisenhower will
suppport him and equally sure
of the powerful support of Mr.
Eisenhower's younger brother,
Milton.
President Must Act
This, all adds up to a political
conflict of major proportions
which is reaching the point
where the President must act if
he is to avoid a bruising public
row within his own administra
tion. If Brownell failed during
his week end visit to Denver to
lay this one in Mr. Eisenhower's
lap, it must have been only be
cause the doctors insisted that
the bad news be withheld.
Benson is being urged to use
some of the large and unallocat
ed funds at his disposal to bail
out the corn-hog producers. Ben
son says the time is not yet for
that. He has. argued that hog
prices must go lower before
government can intervene suc
cessfully. Benson -is willing to do some
thing for hog raisers, but he has
preferred to wait whereas Nix
on and some of his cabinet col
leageus want instant action. The
blue chips are down in this dis
pute. Benson's opposition landed
a haymaker during the recent
Republican . governors' confer
ence in Des Moines, la.
Labor Writer Reports -
Willard Shelton,' a discerning
reporter who contributes a col
umn to the "CIO News," relates
it this way:
"The GOP governors were
greeted with a banner headline
in the Des Moines Register, over
a copyrighted story by the Reg
ister's chief Washington cor
respondent, Richard L. Wilson,
saying that Nixon's viewpoint
was that Benson must act' on
the farmers' problems, and that
Nixon had an appointment to
tell Benson as much.
"That was a dagger launched
from the shadow," said Shelton.
There is no doubt in Washing
ton that Nixon gave the story to
correspondent Wilson. The vice-
president is too alert a politician
to underestimate the political
implications of his act.
Shelton and the CIO, of course
are delighted. The CIO is gun
ning for Benson and so will be
some Republicans around town if
things fail to improve on the
farm front. The current word is
that Benson may act in a matter
of days or weeks. -

Stevenson Accused off (Bowing
To Pressure Over Farm Dssue
Washington (U.R) Repub
lican National Chairman Leon
ard W. Hall has accused Adlai
E. Stevenson of bowing to pres
sure from Democratic party boss
es by doing a "flip-flop" on the
farm -price support issue.
Hall in - a statement Sunday
blasted Stevenson and New York
Gov. Averell Harriman for en
dorsing the rigid 80 per cent
price props.
Hog Buying Program
Both Stevenson and Harriman
endorsed the rigid supports in
statements over the week end to
a Democratic farm conference
in Des Moines, la. They called
for a federal hog-buying program
and 90 per cent of parity price
supports.
Hall said that on Oct 7 in a
speech at Green Bay, Wis., Ste
venson said that a, 90 per cent
program "was not' the answer
to the farm problem." But on
Friday, he said, Stevenson sent
a statement to the 12-state meet
ing endorsing 90 per cent sup-
ports.
Stevenson, when contacted at
his farm in suburban Chicago,
declined comment on Hall's
statement. But an aide, Harry
Ashmore, said "I'm not surprised
that Mr. Hall is panic-stricken."
Following the Des Moines con
ference, Iowa's GOP state chair
man Don Pierson said, "You can

Knight for Ik
On another political front,
Gov. Goodwin Knight of Calif
ornia said Sunday the GOP has
"a score or more" of men who
could win the presidency next
year but he is for President Eis
enhower "first, last and al
ways." The: Republican governor said
that if Mr. Eisenhower decides
not to run he (the President)
should pick the candidate he
wants if he thinks such a course
is wise.
Knight declined to discuss the
presidential qualifications of
Vice-President Richard M. Nix
on, a long-time political foe in
California politics. He denied he
is "fighting with the vice-president
or he with me." ,
