Farm Bill Gains
Senate Approval
WASHINGTON, May 22 (W)—The Senate accepted a
compromise version of the "Second round" farm bill today,
passing it on a voice vote and sending it to the House, where
legislative action may be completed tomorrow.
The bill is tailored closely
Postal Hike
Approved
By Group
WASHINGTON, May 22 RI
The House Post Office Commit
tee today approved a $432 million
increase in postal rates which Sec
retary of the Treasury George H.
Humphrey says may spell the dif
ference between a balanced and
an unbalanced federal budget.
The committee voted behind
closed doors to boost the present
3-cent letter rate to four cents
and hike the air mail charge from
6 cents an ounce to 7 cents.
Estimates Highei Rafe
Postmaster General Arthur
Summerfield has estimated the
higher letter rate would cost the
average family 10 to 12 cents a
month.
Bigger increases were approved
for second-class mail— chiefly
magazines and newspapers—and
for third-class advertising matter.
Rejected was an Eisenhower ad
ministration proposal that rate
setting authority be transferred
from Congress to a postal rate
commission.
Bill Vote Reported
The committee reportedly voted
13-8 for the postal rate bill, which
apparently has drawn increasing
support since it was advanced by
the administration early in the
session.
However, some Congress mem
bers have held out slight hope for
increased postal rates in this elec
tion year, and the measure has
not been listed by House leaders
as "must" legislation.
Department in Debt
The administration's big argu
ment has been that the boosts are
needed to offset the Post Office
Department's operating deficit,
now running nearly $5OO million
a year.

is a $1.2 billion soil bank system
for paying farmers to cut down i
their production.
The bill was agreed upon by
a Senate-House Conference
Committee earlier in the day.
Prospects appeared bright for a
favorable House vote and for Ei
senhower's acceptance of the
measure as a substitute for the
bill he vetoed April 16.
Top farm spokesmen for both
parties were lukewarm in their
comments on the compromise
during the Senate debate, which
lasted less than an hour.
Sen. Allen E. Ellender, (D-La.),
chairman of the Senate-House
Conference Committee, contented
himself with explaining the pro
visions of the agreement and call
ing them "fair."

Duties Disputes
Stassen View
WASHINGTON, May 22 (.41—
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles refused today to go along
with Harold E. Stassen's state
ment that military manpower
cuts announced by the Russians
are "an initiative we wanted them
to take."
Despite the hopeful face put on
the Soviet move by Stassen, who
is President Dwight D. Eisen
hower's disarmament specialist,
Dulles stuck to his guns.
Dulles repeated his statement
of last week that the Russians, if
sincere in saying they will cut
1,200.000 men from their armed
services, are reaction out of eco
nomic. military and propaganda
consideration—not in any genuine
spirit of disarmament.
Hall Asks for Time
To Answer Democrats
By the Associated Press
GOP Chairman Leonard W.
Hall said Tuesday the Republicans
want equal time on the air to
reply to the Adlai E. Stevenson-
Estes Kefauver debate in Florida
even though it "hardly seems
worth answering!'
"The biggest flop of the year,"
Hall called this meeting of the
two Democrats who are cam
paigning to get the nomination to
run against President Eisenhower.
