Newspaper Page TextSIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. February 15. 1956 Kansas Solon Breaks With Administration On Wheat Support Washington (U.R) Sen. Frank Carlson, usually one of President Eisenhower's staunch est supporters in Congress, broke with the administration today on the farm issue. The Kansas Republican told the United Press that he favors price supports at 90 per cent of parity for wheat this year and a two-price system for the crop starting next year. Mr. Eisenhower and Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson oppose both proposals. Backed Flexible Supports Carlson voted for the administration-sponsored flexible price supports ranging from 75 to 90 per cent of parity when they squeaked through the Senate by a 49-44 vote in 1954. But he said that there must be "90 per1 cent supports to do wheat farmers any good this year." Carlson said he and other sen ators, both Democrats and Re publicans, from wheat-growing states first will make a deter mined effort on the Senate floor to put a two-price provision for wheat in an omnibus farm bill recently approved by the Senate Agriculture Committee. He predicted a "substantial" vote for the proposal but con ceded its defeat. He added that then "I assume I will" vote for the committee legislation, which would provide for 90 per cent price supports for millable wheat. Authorizes Soil Bank The committee bill also would autuorize the administration's $1,100,000,000 soil bank, a two price system for rice and high rigid price supports for corn, cotton and peanuts. A two-price system would guarantee farmers from 90 to 100 per cent of parity for that part of their crop consumed do mestically by humans. The re mainder would sell for world market prices, with possibly government supports at about that level. ... Stevenson Charges Administration With Dual Foreign Policy Seattle. (U.R) Adlai Stev enson's campaign for the Demo cratic presidential nomination moved into Central Washington today following a verbal' attack on the administration's foreign policy. Stevenson accused the admin istration of trying to "conduct one foreign policy for the na tion, another for the Republican party and at the same time fail ing to honestly inform the peo ple about the uneasy state of the world." Unpreparednesi Seen ' "Our government is unpre pared for the new Communist offensive which has been in the making since Korea and the death of Stalin," Stevenson said. Stevenson made it plain he and the Democrats would make foreign policy a key issue in the 1956 election campaign.

Raps Domestic Policy -.-' Stevenson also took a verbal swing at the administration's do mestic policy, particularly its farm policy. "The farmer needs help from the government today but if he doesn't get it, and soon, the busi ness community may need help tomorrow," he said. "Main street has never been prosperous when the back country was in trouble." .. . - Rossman Appointed Secretary-Manager ' Gene " W. Rossman, ex-secretary-manager of the.

( SAFEWAY STORE Benson Seeks Backing Of Midwest Farmers St. Paul, Minn. U.P.) - Agri culture Secretary Ezra T. Ben son tried today to rally Midwest farmers for a fight against Dem ocratic amendments to the Presi dent's agriculture program.

Continuing his campaign to day, Benson held a breakfast meeting with a group of farmers and visited dairy farms in the area. He was to leave later for California and another farm speech. 'Benson's main target was the farm bill recently approved by tfie Democratic controlled Sen ate Agriculture committee.
