Wheat Control
Voting Opens
BY OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press stan Writer

Wheat farmers in SO States
are voting today on whether to
accept controls in 1856, in q
referendum which could reopen
the whole touchy problem OF
price supports in Congress.
Few farm leaders were willing
to forecast the result, beyond
agreeing that it would be close.
Many contended that congress
sional action on q new wheat
program would be necessary II
controls are rejected, to prevent
a drop in the support price to
$1.19 a bushel.
Under controls, the floor would
be $1.81 a bushel but farmers
could sell only the amount of
wheat they can grow on 55 mil
lion acres. That amount is the
same as this years crop, sup
ported at $2.06 a bushel, but 80
million acres below the post
war peak.
The limitation was proposed
under farm law to prevent in
creasing the crop surplus. The
Government already has $2.5
billion invested In surplus wheat
acquired under price supports,
land available supplies are suf-
ficient for a years needs.
Two Thirds Vote Needed
| Two-thirds Of the farmers vot-
ling must approve the controls
to make them effective for next
year. This years limitation was
approved by a 1873 per cent vote.
Never before have growers re-
ljected controls for wheat, but
this year the program has run
into sharp criticism in some areas
because of farmer dissatisfaction
with the reduction in income
from wheat.
Anticipating possible defeat Of
1.-THE controls, Secretary of Agri-
culture Benson has said that he
would be ready to propose a
substitute program to Congress
to attack the problem of sur
Iplus supplies and reduced grower
returns. He did not say. how
lever, what the substitute would
Ibe.
Officials said that upwards of
one million farmers were eligible
to vote. They forecast that about
half that number would turn out
at polling places established by
state and county farmers COM
mittees. Polls close at 5 o'clock
local time. An unoficial canvass
Of the votes will be made tonight.
There has been speculation
that the administration and Con-
gress would not dare-in the
light Of next years presidential
election-to let price supports
drop to $1.19 q bushel even II
lquotas were turned down.
Alternative Suggested
The American Farm Bureau
Federation has suggested an al
tentative program which would
raise the planting allotment to
SO million acres and put the price
support rate at IS per cent Of
parity or about $1.53 a bushel.
The National Grange is advo-
eating a multiple price plan
under which wheat used for food
in this country would be sup
ported at full parity with re-
maining supplies being allowed
to sell for export and non-food
uses at whatever prices they
might command.
The National Farmers Union
lis the only major farm organi-
zation that has made a fight for
1.-THE quotas. It favors return to
high-level farm price supports
which Congress voted out last
year in favor of flexible supports
recommended by President Eli
lsenhower.
4 The union argued that defeat
lof quotas would undermine the
whole farm price support struc-
ture and undercut efforts in
Congress to restore the high
supports of the postwar era.

Mickey went into a horrendous

and it appeared he was nearing
the end Of the road. He was
supposed to be In line for part
time duty this year and has
been granted occasional rest,
but he has played more games
than any Of his teammates.
Leading in Several Divisions
Vernon merely is leading the
club in times at bat, hits, total
bases, doubles and triples. He's
running second to Roy Sievers

Mickey has boosted his batting

Sievers' single scored Vernon.
Sievers, struck on the left fore
