Eisenhower Defeats Farm Bloc
Pressure From White House Gives President Victory
In Preliminary Battle on Flexible vs. Rigid Supports

the farm bill instead of having
a Senate version forced on
them. This is what happened
in the closing days of the ses-
sion in 1948 when the flexible
price supports the President
now wants were written into
law in the Senate and the
House conferees had to take
them. Members of the House
still contend it helped beat
the Republicans that year.
In this very rivalry, however,
between Senate and House
there are the makings of an
Eisenhower triumph. If the
situation becomes complicated
and confused, the President
may feel strong enough to veto
the end result.
In that case he would auto
matically get the flexible sup
ports he prefers, as the 1948
law is still on the books. Only
its enforcement has been post
poned from year to year; it
has not been repealed or a
substitute approved.
There is a well-founded sus-
picion that if the two cham
bers got in a coil and found
themselves unable to agree.
the President would ne Just
as happy. He would get his
flexible supports then, too.
Coming up: One. maybe two.

Doris FIeeson-

President Eisenhower has
won by a good margin the first
battle in the congressional
farm bloc's campaign to force
high mandatory farm price
supports on his administration.
He is spon din gly
strengthened and the farm
bloc is rather grimly regroup-
ing it's own forces.
This first test came in the
Senate on an amendment to
the wool subsidy bill and the
farm bloc's own estimate is
that unremitting White House
pressure cost them eight to 10
votes. Not all Senators had
approved of the amendment
tactic but they had not eX-
pected the amendment to go
down by more than two or
three votes. It lost by eight.
The principal White House
weapon was an implied threat
that the President would veto
the wool subsidy if the amend
ment were attached to it.
For the first time really,
Senators are now convinced
that the President means to
back Secretary Benson all the
way. The corollary to this
is that he has accepted as a
calculated risk the harm it
may do his party in the farm
States next fall.
A check of the Senate con-
tests there indicates that in
the upper house at least that
risk is not too great. Repub-

Conant Sees Hope
For Early Approval
Of European Army

The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee had an optimistic
prediction before it today from
DR.. James B. Conant, United
States High Commissioner to
Germany, of early approval of
the European Defense Com
munity Treaty.
The treaty. under which six
European nations would set up
an integrated army, including
German troops. has been ap-
proved by all parties except
France and Italy.
Chairman Wiley Of the Foreign
Relations Committee, told re-
porters that DR.. Conant also re-
minded his committee of the
serious consequences that would
follow failure of the EDO treaty.

GENEVA, April 29.-Real-
ism came into its own here at
the Geneva Conference when
Secretary of State Dulles pre-
sented the facts Of inter-
national life to the assembled
delegates in a speech that will
live long in the history Of
free men.
For the story of the aggres-
sion in Korea - too often
CLOSED over or forgotten in an
age of materialiSm, as high
principles and idealism are
sometimes brushed aside-waS
told in unequivocal phrases by
the American Secretary OF
State. He brought back into
the picture the mandate of the
United Nations and reminded
the world that all nations. in
cluding India, had branded
North Korea an aggresSor and
that later the United Nations
had by resolution declared
Communist China an aggres-
sor, too. No more pointed les
son to appeasers could have
been uttered than in these
words of Mr.. Dulles aimed at
those governments which now,
in order to get a makeShift
peace, would ignore the acts of
the aggreSsots:
Peace is always easy to
achieve-by surrender. Unity
is also easy to achieve-by sur
render. The hard task. the
task that confronts us, is to
combine peace and unity with
freedom"
Mr.. Dulles reminded the
delegates that the Korean
war provided the first example
in history of "a collective Sc
curity organization in actual
operation" He added: IF this
conference is disloyal to the
United Nations and its de-
cisions. then each Of us will
bear a share of the response
bility for destroying what pro-
tects us ALL"

but it. Is being said his cabinet
may fall. Maybe such an event
is necessary to awaken the
French people to the fact that
partisans in their midst may
be unwittingly repeating the
catastrophe Of 1910. when a
fifth column permitted France
to be conquered from within.
Maybe French pride and pa
triotism will be aroused against
the prospect of reducing
France to a third-rate power
if she surrenders to "parti-
ton" of ndo-China or any of
the insidious schemes being
advanced here for liquidating
French influence in Southeast
Asia.

allies needed a hypodermic of

ident Of the United States who

Church, ]. Paul Touchton, has
chosen the topic 1.-THE Thankful
Fellowship" for the communion
meditation at the morning wor-
ship at the Old Stone Church. There
will be emphasis first of all on the
grateful spirit Of the Lord Jesus.
When he healed the sick, when he
fed the multitudeS, and when the
blind received their sight he was
deeply grateful to God. Even when
he gave his followers the bread
and the fruit of the vine which
ItYpified- his broken body and shed
blood he gave thanks TO God.
Though his life was set in the
midst of suffering and poverty
there was constantly a well Of
thanksgiving puring forth from his
heart. True followers of Jesus have
always been grateful.
Mr.. T0uchton's message at the
evening worship hour will be en-
titled. High Time to Awake" The
holy communion will be admins
tered not only at the morning wor-
ship service but will be available
in the evening for those not pre-
