President May Veto 90 Per Cent
Crop Prop Sponsored by Democrats
By Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON President
Eisenhower is said to be ready
to veto a bill expected to be pas
sed by the Senate at the coming
session of Congress restoring 90
per cent supports for the basic
crops.
The Democrats, who control
both houses of Congress, have
already pushed the restoration of
rigid supports bill through the
House, and only passage by the
Senate is needed to send the
measure to tne President.
Hottest Issue Ahead
Because of the veto probability,
the farm bill fight is expected
to be the hottest at the second
session of the 84th Congress,
opening early next month. The
Republicans are expected to push
their idea of a soil bank.
Whether they han pass it in a
Democratic .Congress is a good
question even if their effort
comes after it as certain Presi-
Bainbndge, comes another re
cipe, and she adds:
I shall send one of my favor

Democrats To Use Idea
/Because the farm issue is such
Political dynamite at this stage
both the Democrates and Repub
lican might bs tempted to spike
chance of success for the other
party’s farm legislation. If the
farmer gets nothing, at the next
session, the Democrats will take
the stump all over the country
and lash out at the plight of the
farmer. Many Democrats think
this issue oifers them their best
chance of electing a President
and majority in Congress.
If Eisenhower signs the
Democratic high supports bill,
the pressure might be eased on
the Administration, but this
would'be almost an admission of
error in farm programming. If
he refuses to sign and the Demo
crats refuse to pass the Republi
can bill designed to remedy the
present situation, Republicans
will blame the Democrats fon
playing politics with the farmer’s
security.
Benson Offers Answer
The coming farm fight, with
these complications, is expected
to be the hottest farm battle irt
Congress in many years, and to
underway as soon as Con
gress convenes.
Secretary Benson has come up
with what is intended to be an
swer to critics of his farm policy.
The hew Benson proposal would
pay as much as $5,000 a year to
farmers who divert surplus land
from crop-producing acreage to
grass, forage and tree-growing in
a “soil bank” program. _
The proposal is intended to re
duce production of surplus crops
on a long-term basis and help
solve the surplus problem which
has hounded the Eisenhower Ad
ministration and previous ad
ministrations for many years
The new proposal is the mam
feature contained in a new farm
program to be put before Con
gress next year.
Must Sign for Five Years
The new program will also be

taken up at the December meet
ing of the National Agricultural
Advisory Commission, a body
created by President Eisenhow
er two years ago
To be eligible for payments
under the new program, farmers
would have to sign up for five
years and agree to take specified
acreage out of production of sur
plus crops. Farmers co-operating
under the program would be able
to harvest seed or graze live
stock on the acreage taken out
of production, but they could
not harvest crops- ■,
It is estimated they wold be
allowed from $l5 to $2O an acre
for seed in addition to annual
payments amounting to over five
per cent of the appraised value
of the land-
It is though: that Secretary
Benson would take more than 16
million acres out of production
in the-first year of the program.
If this is done, some 800,000
farmers would probably co-oper
ate to reduce acreage this
amount- Over a 15 year penod it
is expected that at least 23 mil
lion acres would be put tn re
serve by more than a million
farmers- " ,
30 Suspected
As Victims of
Para Typhoid
Lancaster County had at least
30 persons, mainly
as definite or possible victiiffirof
para typhoid fever, an illness'
marked by unusually high fever,
and nausea.
Most of the patients were in
hospitals, while some were be
ing treated at home. Greatest
onslaguht appeared to be among
children of six years and
younger.
Haven’t Found Source
Dr. Oscar Davis, county medi
cal director, said the source of
the infection had not' yet been
traced down. It might be spread
by foods such as ice cream or
custard, he ’said, or might also
be spread through the air and
make its entrance through the
mouth or nose. '
Capt. B- F- Chailes, city health
officer, conferred with Dr. Davis
this morning Toe city was
mg orders to milk distributors
who serve cases dither ditmitely
diagnosed or suspected, "to stop
collecting empty bottles from
those homes, and to make deliv
ery to the homes in destroyable
cardboard canons-
May Be Food Contamination
Dr. Davis said that state
health nurses were ✓ checking
with the families of all known
cases today, as part of the effort
to track the source- He said he
felt it was food v contamination,
with children having eaten
something adults did not eat,
but could not say definitely until
more were learned.
Persons who were in close
contact with patients sent to the
lospital are being placed under
seven-day isolation quarantine.
Dr Davis said. Where patients
remain at home, the household
quarantine is to last until the
patient is released from treat
ment
Typhoid Vaccine
Persons who were household
contacts might be protected by
shots-of typhoid vaccine, Dr. Da
\is said, but he noted that the
vaccine does not reach effective
ness until some time after the
inoculation.
