SIOUX FALLS. S. Oak, Aug. 90.
--MidweStern Democratic lead
ers meet here today to start a
drive for the farm vote in Mo-
vember, but uncertain as to
whether they stand united on an
agricultural issue.
The uncertainty was supplied
mainly by Adlai Stevenson, the
party's titular leader and the
principal speaker at a conclave
drawing many candidates for
Congress from Is States, from
Indiana to Wyoming and North
Dakota and Minnesota to Okla
homa.
Many of the leaders wanted
the party to go all out in making
the Eisenhower administrations
farm program the big issue in a
fall campaign in which Demo-
Gratis hope to regain control of
Congress.
They propose to make the par
tvs main attack-in farming
areas-on flexible farm price
supports which the G. o. P.-con-
trolled Congress recently passed
at the behest of President Eisen-
hover.
Big Question of Talks.
But was Mr.. Stevenson ready
and willing to go along with
them on this particular issue2
That was a big question which
the party leaders asked one an
other. Particularly active at the
meeting were many former Agri-
culture Department officials un-
der the Roosevelt and Truman
administrations. Included were
former Secretaries of Agriculture
Claude Wickard and Charles F..
Brannan, and several former Off
Gals in the now defunct Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration.
These men made no secret of
the fact they were hoping that
Mr.. Stevenson, in speech to be
given at a dinner tonight, would
use his choicest words in de-
nouncing flexible supports and
indorsing high price floors,
scheduled to expire at the end
of this year.

The United States will put the
first of four jet airliners in the
air late this summer and touch
off an out-and-out race with
the British jet Comets, the
magazine Aero Digest said today.
The four jets are ready for
production at Boeing. Douglas,
Fairchild and Lockheed, the
monthly aeronautical engineer
ing publication says, with
Boeing's TOT slated for first tests.
It is designed to carry 100
passengers at 500 miles an hour
at $4,000 feet cruising altitude
and weighs nearly 100 tons. It
is powered by four Pratt &

units would just about keep their
present strength. A number of
Commerce units. however. had
their requests for additional
personnel denied. The Business
and Defense Services Admins
tration, the National Bureau of
Standards and the Census
Bureau had asked money to hire
more employees, but they were
turned down.
For the first time in a num-
Der of years. the State Depart
ment received enough funds
from the committee to retain its

SALARY ATTACHMENTS
The provision in the House Ways
and Means Committees tax bill
allowing the seizure of Govern
ment employe salaries for delin-
quent tax payments does not
apply to private debts owed by
Federal workers. The House
group was concerned only with
delinquent tax payments. The
legislation would not change the
law which prohibits the garnish-
eeing of Federal salaries for
unpaid bills in stores and the
like.

Benson Report Says
Sound Farm PROGRAM
Has Been Developed
By the Assoeio.od Pres,

Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son, in his first annual report to
the President, said today 1853
was a year in which a long de-
cline in farm prices had been
halted and a sound permanent"
farm program had been devel-
oped.
It also was year, the Sec
rotary said. in which steps were
taken, to adjust production to
peacetime needs.
Mr.. Benson said the Eisen-
hover Administration had in
herited problems Of surplus, over
production and declining farm
prices from the Truman Admini-
stration. Much of the Admini-
STATIONS first year in Office. he
said, was to deal with these
problems so that 1t could move
"constructively" toward putting
agriculture on a sound basis.
1.-THE problem was made more
difficult because the tools avail
able were not fully adequate to
the needs of the 1885," Mr..
Benson said. The present farm
programs were basically devel-
oped durin gthe 1905.
Situation Different.
"They were amended during
the 194Os. but the, age we now
live in is different. The demand
situation is different than it was
in either the great depression
OF the great war"
The administration. in Janu-
airy laid a proposed new farm
program before Congress. 1t
would lay much less stress on
flexible price supports as a
measure for stabilizing farm in
come and on efforts to expand
farm markets.
Mr. Benson said one Of the
thornieSt difficulties farmers
faced last year was the cost
price squeeze" and the decline in
farm prices and income.
The secretary's report attrib-
uted strengthened farm prices in
part to Stabilizing activities UNI
dertaken by the Government.
Heavier Demands Ahead.
Looking ahead. Mr.. Benson
said the demands on agriculture
will grow heavier. By 1875, he
said, the Nation probably will
need the production equivalent
of an additional lis million acres
of improved cropland to keep
pace with the demands of a
growing population.
Present estimates" he said.
ARE; that We will fall short of
that requirement by as much as
20 million acres
