WASHINGTON, May 2 (JP)
Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra T. Benson said today it
has become virtually impos
sible to control farm produc
tion.
He said crop control and price
supports programs have been out
dated by a “technological explo-;
sion” on the farm, and explained:
“Production per farm worker
[has doubled in the last 15 years.
! This creates a new dimension in
! farm policy and makes it virtually
j impossible to curtail agricultural
j output with the type of controls
! acceptable in our society.”
Benson Letter
Benson made these remarks in
a letter to Chairman Allen J. El
lender (D-La) of the Senate Ag
riculture Committee. ;
Benson wrote that major provi
sions of present farm laws have
[failed. He had criticism for crop!
jcontrol measures enacted under
• Democratic administrations in the
! late 19305, and since amended,
l and also for the flexible price
[support system Congress accepted!
in 1954, at the urging of President
Eisenhower and himself.
Soil Bank Plan
The secretary cautioned, too,
against continuation of the soil
bank reserve plan beyond its ex
piration date in 1956. Both Re
publicans and Democrats have
taken credit for the soil bank
concept. It is designed to reduce
the huge surpluses of farm com
modities held by the govern

WASHINGTON, May 2 (.R)—
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
today gave up on Egypt, Syria
and Jordan as participants at this
time in his military-economic
plan for combatting Middle East
communism.
The President called home his
special ambassador, James P. Ri
chards, choosing not to have him
mark time waiting for invitations
[to visit these three Arab coun
;tries.
The invitations seemed unlike
ly to be forthcoming. All three
nations had made clear they took
a dim view of the Eisenhower
resolution and its 200 million
ready dollars. Each, in its own
way, had cold-shouldered Rich
ards.
It was to get him out of this :
