By BENNETT CERF- GEORGE JESSEL, officiating at a banquet, announced proud ly, "And now, one of the greatest heroes of them all, Ad miral Nimitz, master of all our great ships at sea.

In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS President Eisenhower tells the congress in a special mes sage that he doesn't think the agriculture programs under which we have been operat ing since the end of the war are working as they were intended to. He says they unduly favor the big producers. They are EXCESSIVELY e x pensive. Continuation of them in their present form, he adds, would be intolerable. So, he thinks, they ought to be changed, and he asks the congress to change them. IITHAT he really, means is " that the farm programs of the past decade have re sulted in the accumulation of vast surpluses that hang over the markets of the future like a dark thundercloud. He offers wheat as an ex ample. "We already hold such huge stocks of wheat," he says in his message, "that if not one bushel of the oncom ing crop were harvested we would still have more than enough wheat for domestic use, export sales, foreign do nation and needed carryover for an entire year." ' TO THIS Senator Dirksen of Illinois, GOP leader in the senate, adds: "The Presi dent's program makes sense. In following the price sup port course of taking over farm products which the free market will not absorb we will have stacked up surpluses costing 10Vi billion dollars by next year. This is a stag bering sum." Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire, another top GOP leader, adds that "prompt action along the lines recommended by the Presi dent (that is) REDUCING the subsidies and thus removing the incentive to OVER-PRODUCE) would put an end to having to hope for CROP FAILURES in order to keep the budget in balance and would bring most welcome relief to all CONSUMERS." THAT outlines fairly clear ly what apparently has been determined upon as the official Republican position on farm legislation. What is the Democratic pro gram? It hasn't been clearly out lined as yet, but a Washing ton dispatch this morning says: "Key Democrats today are drafting a new farm plan which President Eisenhower has nromised to oppose. "The Democratic plan would enable the government to stop propping market prices for basic crops and would instead TAP THE TREASURY FOR DIRECT PAYMENTS to growers." , niHTr disnatch coes on: J- "The new plan on which influential Democratic sen ators are working is a sharp ly - revised version of tne so called Brannan plan. Back in 1949, Former Secretary of Ag riculture Charles Brannan proposed direct subsidy pay ments for perishable products which can't be stored. "In contrast, the new plan being drafted by the Demo cratic Senators would provide direct subsidies of storable I crops. Backers contend this j w,ould eliminate the piling : up of government-held sur-1 pluses and heavy storage i costs." i HOW would it work? ! Well, presumably the: government would say to the farmer: "How much of such I and such a crop do you plan i to grow?" The farmer would tell the , government what he had in mind to produce. The govern ment would then (presumab ly) say to him: "DON'T GROW IT. Instead, we'll pay you for it in cash now, and you can sit back and take life easy." THAT'S a slightly cynical analysis of the proposal, but it's a reasonable accurate outline of the basic purposes of the Brannan plan.
