WASHINGTON Secretary oi

President Eisenhdwei. 1
Already the Secretary has sur

situation is so critical the' Admin

And the practical thing to do
according to many of Ben
son’s critics j— is to find a way
to give the'farmer a helping
hand before It is too late. This
can be done if Benson woum
announce his support for a land
rental plan, or some other plan
which would bring money to
the farmer next ye«.
Benson, however, has not been
'"inclined to accept proposals to

’ is called, by- government rental
of a farmer’s land. Yet this may
be the least objectionable ot an

Whatever appens in the next

Agriculture is going to make a re
port to the National Agricultural
Advisory Commission concerning
its study of seven ditterent sou
bank plans in December. This re
port may become the basis tor
some sort of G O. u. program
to get the Administration off the
hook and take ihe initiative away

when Congress convenes.

PASSING THE WORD-Sec

Benson emphasizes a point as
he gives reporters a run-down
on the administration’s six
point supplementary farm aid
program. Benson met with the
press at Denver, Colo., follow

dent Eisenhower on plans to
boost 'sagging farm'' prices and
jhandle surplus 'crop problem.
excellent, still, that Congress wm

heavy and government revenue
will probably be higher than-was
estimated.
Government ei p e nditures

Of course, both Democrats arid
Republicans will seek to get me
credit for any tax reduction' Dm
and the final bill will be a Demo
cratic one. The President may
face a ticklish job when his time
to sign or veto that bill arrives.
Mr. Eisenhower, it is said, wiu
not sign a bill that curs revenue
too much, nor will he sign a pure
ly political bill, giving relief to
lower income groups exclusively.
But chances -are good mat lie will
get a bill he can sign, since Dorn

next session of Congress.
Proving that he is still very
much unpredictable, benaie tte
publican Leader William Jfcnow
land surprised some ot his trlenos
recently, only a few days alter
he had lined up solidly behind the
President on thd farm- issue, ny
saying Mr. Eisenhower should say
wether'he is’ goihg to fish or
cut bait and say it quickly.
Knowland said Ike should de- *
cide whether he is in or our oi
politics by late fall or early win- .
ter. That 'would' seem like a
word of advice* to ike to say
something , before congress,
meets in January, or during
that month', af the latest.
Knowland, who could be a tte
publican it ike
doesn’t run, has always been out
spoken on the issues ot the day,
even when he’ disagrees witn tne
President. He said betore ike s
heart attack, that the party warn

Knowland also has blasted IKe s
foreign policy on numerous occa

President, generally, on domestic
policy But he wants IKe to speaic
out on his plans soon, me moica-,
tions are-that Ike will not omige
him.
