Party Leaders Agree
Farm Prices Could
Decide 81 Election
By james {. Roper

Republican and Democratic

day that the trend OF farm
prices could decide the 1854
elections.
Senate Republican Leader
Taft told the Senate that unless
Republicans do better than the
Democrats have done In. check

will lose the next election"
The Republicans hasten to
point out that prices have been
slipping for two years. mostly

Will Question Benson.
The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee decided yesterday to call
In Secretary of Agriculture BEN
son in about 10 days to discuss
his policies. Republicans hope
he can give the public a better
explanation than he has so far;
Democrats hope to demolish him.
The Agriculture Department
today cited the price of hogs to
show that Benson theories are
correct. A regular marketing
survey showed that producer
prices Of hogs in eight major
Midwestern markets have risen
81 per cent since mid-January.
This put them Is per cent above
year ago.
Republicans say this adds
strength to Secretary Benson's
contention that q free market
does not necessarily mean prices
will drop.
Some farm State Democrats,
however, say they already are
getting letters from farmers.
some demanding that Secretary
Benson be fired.
Tension on Senate Floor.
Tension over the issue was re-
flected on the Senate floor yes
terday. Senator Fulbright, Dem
ocrat, of Arkansas came to the
floor with a 3,00O-word speech
sharply critical of Secretary
Benson's utterances. Senator
Taft repeatedly engaged in
heated exchanges with him.
The G. o. P. leader said DEM
ocrats must take responsibility
for falling farm prices of the
last two years. He accused SEN
ator Fulbright of trying to
blame the Republicans" after
the G. o. P. had been in power
less than 80 days.
The ArkanSan retorted that
the sharpest price drops came
after the Republican triumph
last November.
Senator Taft said criticism of
Secretary Benson misses the
point because Congress will set
the policy on supporting farm
prices and the Secretary is
pledged to follow it.
