NEW YORK R-You know about
the farmers daughter. But how
about the salesman's wife?
The way she reacts to her hus.
bands irregular hours to those sud-
den calls out Of town, can lead
to tiffs at home. Unhappy home
life can put a salesman in a most
unselling frame of mind.
In this competitive era, perhaps
companies are Understanding the
power of the salesman's wife.
They may train the salesman
carefully, yet undo it by failing
to brief the wife on the nature
Of his work, the reason for irregu-
lar hours, the value of sales con-
ferences ("they're more than just
cocktail parties").
A poll of 1858 salesmen's wives
across the land, made over a two
year period by the Research In.
Stitute Of America, shows them
picking the salesman's job as the
most frustrating. Only 8 per cent
Of them would advise their sons
to follow in their dads footsteps.
Many wives complain about long
separations and say: "Have him
near home at least one week a
month" One adds: 1--WE can't
afford two cars and when he is
on the road, I'm stranded.
Of life with the salesman at
home, the wives offer this COM
mon complaint: "The crush of pa
per work at night takes time that
should be spent with his family. -
A third of the wives ask for
better cooperation and understand
ing Of their husbands work by
his employers.
Some wives want TO go along
on the selling trips. Many ask to
be included in the serious sessions
of 4 sales conference. One notes
that at the home office, "secre-
taries are included in social func-
tons but never the wives"
The wives rate their husbands
job in comparison with other kinds
Of work this way: The greatest
number choose engineering work
as providing the most security and
newspaper reporting as the most
interes ing (but they gave it a Sc.
curity rating of exactly zero).
They credit salesmanship with
paying the most money and CIV
ing the highest rewards in accord
ance with ability and efforts.
More than half of the wives
think statesmen encounter discour-
aging experiences more often than
other employees. Less than half
would like to see their husbands
spend the rest of their lives selling.

Compromise
On Atom Bill
lis Underway
By RUSSELL BRINES

WASHINGTON R-Senate and
House members start hammering
out q compromise version of Pres
ident Eisenhower's new atomic en-
ergy program today, and their ef-
forts may have much to do with
how soon congress adiourns.
The c0nferees arranged to meet
behind closed doors to tackle the
task Of resolving three major diff
ferences, and many more minor
ones, in +he Senate and House
versions OF q bill designed to open
the atomic power field to private
industry and to authorize a limited
exchange of nuclear information
with this nations allies.
The product of their delibera-
tons then will go back to the two
houses for final passage, and
Democratic supporters of some
features the administration has op-
posed have promised 4 new round
Of lengthy Senate debate If their
amendments are jettisoned.
The House is virtually finished
with the work leaders have laid
out for it, except to act on such
things as conference reports on
the atomic and other bills.
But the Senate, currently debat'
ing 4 move by Sen. Flanders (R.
VT aimed at the censure of Sen.
Mccarthy (R-Wis), still has ahead
Of 1t bills on at least four major
issues.
Temporarily sidetracked by the
Flanders move was a bill to auth.
oriEe the foreign aid program for
the current year. The Senate also
must act on 4 seperate foreign
aid appropriations measure.
After the first of these has been
disposed Of, Senate COP Leader
Knowland Of California says he will
call up the controversial farm bill,
expected to touch off days Of de.
bate between supporters of rigid
price supports and hackers of the
administration plan for flexible
props.
Knowland says he win then cal
endar three bills recommended by
Atty. Gen. Brownell as part of his
antisubversive program.
Another major part of Eisenhow-
er's program on which the Senate
has not acted would broaden the
social security program and raise
benefits. The Senate may also be
asked to pass on a proposal to hike
the national debt ceiling.

immigration officials.
During the luncheon, Balbuena
told the guests that he and his par
ty had come to Key West in their
uniforms instead of civilian cloth
es to fight for the United States if
it became necessary during their
stay here.
Freedom in Cuba today was
brought about mainly through the
help of Key Westers during the
early days of revolution planning
and fighting" Balbuena said.
Introduced by Morales
Oscar Morales, Cuban Consul for
Key West, took the lead in intro
ductions at the luncheon. Father
George Ray, minister of the Epis-

Grocery Prices Show No Drop
Despite Cut In Farm Prices
BY D. L. LIVINGSTONE

WASHINGTON VI - The House
: Agriculture Committee formally
reported today what housewives al
ready knew: grocery store prices
remain at nearrecord highs de-
spite a sizable drop in farm
prices.
Making public a statistical study
of the trend in farm prices and
retail food costs, the committee
concluded:
"ThuS far, almost none of the
lower prices received by farmers
since 1851 has been passed on to
consumers in the form Of lower
retail food costs.
Further declines in farm prices
are expected as more livestock
and livestock products come to the
market and (government) price
support levels are lowered.
Consumers can expect little
benefit, however, from these lower
farm prices unless recent tenden-
cies to increase marketing andpro-
cessing charges are curbed."
A somewhat less pessimistic
view, from the housewives stand
point, came yeterday from the
Agriculture Department, which
said major foods will be in plenti-
full supply during the remaining
months of 1854 and that prices
should ease some.
The department forecasts q
heavier output of pork, veal, lard,
turkeys, eggs, processed fruits,
fresh vegetables and some rice,
as compared with the same months
last year. The department said
lamb and mutton are the only ma
jor items which will be scarcer
than last year.
The average person the depart
ment said, probably will eat a lit
tie more during 1854 than he did
in 1853.
The department reported last
Friday a drop in prices received
by farmers during the month end
ing July Is, the second straight
month that farm prices declined.
The price index, based on 1904
averages, stood at 247 compared
with 260 in July last year.
The House committee found that
the farmers share of the consum-
er dollar is steadily dropping
''while retail food prices have re-
mained at 1852 peak levels"
II said that out Of each dollar
spent by the American housewife
for foods, 56 cents goes for pro-
cessing, marketing and transpor-
tation charges.
The farmer receives A cents,
of which 30 cents meets the cost of
producing his crop, the report stat
ed, and concluded:
"Thus, the farmer and his fam
lily have about IA cents out of each
consumer dollar spent for domesti-
cally produced food for their work
and their investment"
Going back to removal in 1S4S Of
war-imposed price controls, the
the committee study said farm
prices advanced % per cent from
then until their peak In 1851, and
that since then, farm prices have
dropped almost back to their 194S
level.
"In contrast" the committee
noted, "retail food prices now hold
within a fraction of their 1852
peak"
The committee said housewives
now are paying the highest
prices on record" for bakery pro-
ducts and cereals, although farm
prices for wheat are down to 1949
levels.
