Ike Farm Plan
' WASHINGTON ' Ben.' Aiken
(R-Vt said Monday the con
gressional eoonomic committee
adverse report on the Eisenhower
farm, program should "be given
little weight because the panel on
was loaaea. 1 , v
Aiken, chairman of the Senate
Agriculture Committee, said in an
Interview his criticism was aot
aimed at the 14 senators and repre
sentatives who made the report,
but at the economists who helped
mem irame it.
He has backed proposals of
President Eisenhower and Secre
tary of Agriculture Benson to shift
from present rigid farm price
supports to a flexible plan that
would lower these price .props In
times of furplus, with the aim of
discouraging over-produouon. :
- The Senate-House economic com
mlttee's report Indicated , it. would
be wiser to continue the present
filed level of supports, established
during wartime. They are due to
expire at the end of the 1954 crop
year.
Noting that farm Income had
declined, the report said the Eisen
hower-Benson proposals "may
. actually place the farm family In
a worse position in the short run."
While Aiken was critical of these
conclusions, several other , mem
bers of congress who are not on
the economic committee praised
the report. ;

Gets Quiet
v HERMIT, Tex I A soldier and
the home town and family he once
forsook for communism were
quietly getting reacquatnted today.
Cpl. Claude Batchelor, self
described former leader of 21
other American prisoners who
chose to stay with 'the Reds In
North Korea, got home yesterday.
' He ,was welcomed by his family
at El Paso, where he arrived by
commercial airliner. .
' How - the- approximately (.912
cltisens of Kermit. will ultimately
receive him couldn't be determined
right off.
The town was Sunday quiet when
he drove the family car up to his
parents'- frame house that stands
alone In Its block.
This oil and cattle town on the
west Texas plains Is where Claude,
now 23, grew up, where he played
cornet In the high school band.
Kermit saw him leave as a youth
of 1( to Join the Army. Later it
heard he'd turned "Pro.'' He set
the town to talking again when,
last New Year's Eve, he returned
to the Allied side.
He seemed unworried after his
homecoming. He said he was hap
py, hoped to get out ot the Army
coon, wanted his Japanese wife in
the united States and. planned to
continue his education.
' Lounging in white ' shirt . and
slacks, he told reporters:
"Everyone Is just as friendly as
they can be." Then he added,' "But
I guess -I should admit. I haven't
had much chance yet to talk to the
folks here In Kermit. Some of my
old friends have come around to
say 'hello' already though." -,
