In the Day's News Br FRANK JENKINS A compromise farm bill has passed bofh houses of the congress and is awaiting Pres- ? laent Eisenhower's signature as this is written. .The new law will permit basic crop price supports to reach their lowest level in 20 years and will cancel sched uled cutbacks in cotton and rice planting allotments next year. (That is to say, it will permit MORE ACRES to be planted to cotton and rice.) The bill is generally re garded as a major victory for Secretary of Agriculture Ben son, and President Eisenhow er, who has consistently backed the policies of Secre tary Benson, is exepected to sign it.
