agricultural Problems

the Government continues to pay an IN
creasing amount for the storage Of corn
while the farmer makes $1,000 or $4,000 or
more, from a corn transaction which Is
illogical from every economic standpoint.
Surplus crops and storage facilities are
growing problem The No. | farm prob
lem, however, is the steadily dropping in
come to the farmers. Undoubtedly, better
coordination and logical loan and storage
programs are needed.
On the other hand until the farmers
income is raised--n line with the trend in
ether income groups-this problem will
remain the No. problem Of the Eisenhow-
ed Administration.
Secretary Of Agriculture Ezra Taft
Benson is attempting to revise many Of the
eountry's agricultural policies but We be-
lieve the President would do we'll to APP
point an independent group Of farm eco
monte experts to study reVisions and bet
ter coordination Of the entire agricultural
program The study should be made and
completed within six months and SuggeS-
tons should be ready for the second session
Of the 8ith Congress.

n interesting article recently appeared
- in the Wall Street Journal concerned
with the amount Of Government partclpa-
ton in the American farmers operations.
The article appeared III connection with
the visit to Iowa Of group Of Soviet
farmers and pointed out that the Soviet
farmers might be surprised at the amount
Of Government regulation found on Amerl-
can farms.
One Of the most interesting features
Of the article was the explanation how
many Corn Belt farmers now take advant-
age of the Governments price support OPP
Grafton To sell their corn to the Government
al a price which is higher than the market
price Of corn. and then purchase the neces-
sary corn at lower market price for their
own feed.
In other words, many farmers are now
building storage sheds for corn, narrowing
the money from the Government at what
ever the Government decides is a faif price,
when that price is higher than the local
price tand it usually is), and therefore
defeating one of the purposes of THE price
support program

However, Mr.. Powers added.
Veterans Administrator H. v.
Higley felt that it would not be
possible to set any specific goal
for further personnel reductions
lin view Of the agency's many re-
Isponsibilities to veterans.
Representative Davis. Demo-
Icrat Of Georgia, chairman Of the

the agency set q specific person
mel reduction goal between now
and next June 80.
When Mr.. Powers said this
could not be done. Mr.. Davis
asked will further progress be
made In reducing personnel"
Mr.. Powers replied that he
was sure that the VA would make
progress in this regard. He
pointed out that the VA for the
lpast few years has had an order
lin effect restricting the filling Of
personnel vacancies that occur
unless the Jobs involved are es-
lsential ones.
Duplication Eliminated
Mr.. Powers also declared that
the agency was using .the engi-
lneered approach" to the reduc-
Ition Of manpower by elimination
lof unnecessary functions and du-
lplication Of efforts.
Mr.. Powers was accompanied
by Aaron Rosenthal. VAS direc-
| tor Of internal audit service.
They pointed out that VA has
been given added responsibilities
by Congress such as increased
hospital benefits to veterans and
Eother activities which have made
reduction Of personnel difficult,
Il Despite this. the VA has man
laged to eliminate 9,206 jobs dur
ling the past two years, the SUBJ

offset somewhat by the addition
iof 6.436 employees in VAS depart
