Benson Report Lists
Ways 10 Stabilize
Prices Of Milk
Zap wirephoto.
sy Inc Assoeiotsd Press

Secretary of Agriculture Ben.
son yesterday outlined in a re-
port to Congress three general
methods which he said the Gov
ernment might use to stabilize
producer prices Of milk and
dairy products.
Although he outlined in detail
each proposal. the Secretary
made no recommendations as to
which he believed should be en-
ployed.
The three general methods set
forth in Mr.. Benson's 1l3-page
report are:
/. Use Of controls to prevent
productions Of price depressing
surpluses.
2. Purchase by the Govern
ment or some other agency Of q
portion Of the supply which
would be withheld from the
market for the purpose Of bol-
stering prices. go
3. Use Of Government SUBJ
Sidies To assure dairymen de.
sired returns. Ma
The Government now employs
the second method.
Mr.. Benson said use. Of SUBJ
sidies-a major feature Of q
controversial farm plan ad.
vanced in 1949 by former Secre.
tary Of Agriculture Brannan-
would cost the Government con.
siderably more than the present
program, but the cost to the
Nation as a whole would be nc
greater.
The report said the subsidy
method, by allowing consumer
prices to drop. would permit the
whole production to move into
consumption.
The Secretary estimated q
subsidy program would cost the
Government about $3.50 million
a year, with prices supported al
the present rate Of Is per cent
of parity and $1.225,000 II al
90 per cent of parity.
