Senators Propose New Plan
For Dairy Price Supports
WASHINGTON W K. new gov-
eminent price., support system lor
oalry products apparently aimed
at soltenlng the reduction ordered
by Secretary bf Agriculture Ben
sonwas unveiled today by Sen
ators Aiken (R-Vt) and Anderson
(D-NM). - .
Aiken Is chairman ot the Senate
Agriculture Committee and Ander
son Is a former secretary ot, agrl
culture. In an Interview, Aiken
said they had not cleared their
proposals with Benson or the. ad
ministration, but would Introduce
them today In the Senate.
Aiken conceded that the propos
als if adopted should counter much
ft the criticism that has arisen in
dairy areas and Congress because
Benson lowered government dairy
price supports from 90 to 75 per
Butter Price
Said Lowering
WASHINGTON Ml Secretary
of Agriculture Benson said Mon
day some retail outlets have re
ported they will offer butter for as
low as 69 cents a pound Thursday
when the government's dairy price
support program shifts to a lower
basis,
Benson said, however, that most
of the retail prices for butter are
expected to be In the "mid and
upper 60's." Retail prices are now
generally above 78 cents a pound,
mostly around 80 cents.
The government's support rate
will' decline about 8 '4 cents a
pound from about 88 to 67 cents.
The dairy support program, now
at 90 per cent of parity, will be re
duced to 75 per cent for the new
marketing year beginiung April 1.
Benson told a news conference
that msny wholesalers and retail
ersincluding food chains have
informed him that they are will
lng to forego a part of their normal
price markups In an effort to help
the dairy Industry solve Its surplus
situation.
The secretary estimated his de
partment will own about 380 mil
lion, pounds of butter, 420 million
pounds of cheese and 650 million
pounds of non-fat dried milk by
. April 1, acquired under dairy price
support commitments.
Benson said he was not yet
ready to announce plans for dis
posing of the government surplus
stocks.
cent of parity, effective at mid
night tomorrow.
"This would assure dairy pro
ducers about 80 per cent of parity,"
Aiken said. "It should provide, a
long-range stability for all parts of
the Industry, especially farmers
and producers."
Both Aiken and Anderson have
been supporting administra
tion proposals for ending' rigid 90
per cent farm supports on major
neid crops in favor of a flexible
system ranging from 75 to 90 per
cent. Parity Is a standard for farm
prices said by law to be fair to
produoers in relation to prices
they must pay.
Key points in the new dairy pro
posals, as outlined by Aiken, are:
1. For the first time the govern
ment would support fluid milk
prices directly. Instead of Indirect
ly through price floors under but
ter, cheese, dried milk and other
milt products.
2. The price support level for
milk would be tied directly to that
of dairy feeds. Thus, If feedstuffs.
were supported at more than 75
per cent, dairy products would be
too.. Under present law, the secre
tary of agriculture has discretion
to fix supports between 75 and 90
per cent.
3. Price supports could vary on
different dairy products. They
niigm oe relatively Higher on fluid
milk, that sold for drinking and
iiousenoia uses, man on putter ana
cheese.
4. Distributors and processors
would be required to pass on the
benefits of government supports to
producers. Aiken said this had not
always been done In the past.
5. The secretary ot agriculture
would be given broad authority to
dispose of surpluses already ac
cumulated, including millions of
pounds of butter, cheese and dried
milk. He could do this by gifts to
scnool lunch and relief programs,
or by cut-rate prices to low-Income,
aged and. other groups.
Aiken said the program also in
volves 'marketing controls, under
wmch tne secretary could require
producers to hold back part of
weir mux irom mantel during
periods of surplus. -
Benson predicted yesterday that
some retailers will cut prices on
a pound of butter to 89 cents Thurs
day when the government drops
supports from 68 to 67 cents. But
he said most prices will be from
68 to 70 cents.
Sen. -Mundt (R-SD) got into the
aispute over larm price supports
last night with an announcement
that he would ask Congress to let
farmers decide "on crop-by-crop
basis" what kind of government
price supports they want.
Potato Pest
fight Planned
Oregon potato growers are going
"underground" In their .battle
against three; major' pests
that feed on tubers. Oregon State
College Insecticide trials show that
Aldrln, dieldrln, of heptachlor,

spring planting will give almost
complete control of tuber flea bee
tles, Western spotted cucumber
beetles and wlreworms; '
In addition to ridding the soil of
wireworms, ' the new method
vetches winged - beetles under
ground In the larvae stage and
does away with the time-consuming
and less effective job of spot

then dusting potato plants three to
five times during -the growing sea
son to kill adult beetles. .
