literal truth that millions Of peo-
pie now living on this earth
would have perished-and other
millions would not have been
born-except for the vast pro-
gram of food distribution under
taken through the years by the
United States"
Much Of the responsibility for
the problem of American farm
SURPRISES. he said, can be charged
to import barriers raised In other
countries against United States
farm products once the emer-
gency needs ended.
Mr.. Benson said 1t was shock

struggle with problems Of album

poverty.
Unless nations learn to trade
upon a mutually profitable basis.
the problem of agricultural sur
pluses in some countries and
shortages in others can never

Leasing Plan Explained
The land leasing plans OBJ
jective was said to be ito plug
a major gap in the Eisenhower
administrations farm program. "
The major objection to the
leasing plan" the Herald Tri-
bune's story said, lis that 1t
marks a step away from the adj
ministration's avowed policy of
seeking increasingly free farm
markets"
The plan was described this

About 40 million acres Of pri-

rented by the Government at an

The Department of Agricul-
ture, at home and abroad, today
was waging with increased vigor
its battle to curb farm over
production and mounting food
SURPRISES.
In Rome. Secretary Benson
has called on other nations to
share with the United States the
task of adjusting farm output
to peacetime marketing require
ments, while at home the de-
partment was reported to be con-
sidering a plan calling for the
Government to restrict commod-
ity production by leasing land
from farmers.
The New York Herald Tribune
said that the new proposal,
which would involve 49, million
acres at q rental cost Of about
$500 million a year, is designed
to strengthen falling farm prices
by cutting top-heavy food pro-
duction and surpluses.
Seeks Outlets for Surplus
Mr.. Benson said American
farmers now are bearing the
brunt of food surplus problems
while producers in some other
countries-aided by import bar
riers against United States prod
ucts-are taking advantage of
the situation by grabbing mar
kets.
He made these remarks in his
Rome speech at a meeting Of
the International Federation OF
Agricultural Producers.
The Secretary is touring Eu-
rope to study possibilities of
opening new outlets for Ameri-
can farm surpluses.
Mr.. Benson said some coun-
tries have been critical of Amer
lean farm policies, particularly
the accumulation of SURPRISES.
He said American production
had been over-expanded during

"Homebuyers and potential

cause of the excellent news

Nathaniel H. Rogg, economist
for the National Association OF
Home Builders, who will outline
the organizations position on the
availability of mortgage money
at a meeting of the Home
Builders Association of Metro
politan, Washington April 20,
pointed out today that housing
production has three major gov
ernors that help keep construc-
ton geared to demand.
Builders are letting the steady
market fix the tempo of their
operations" he said. Some peo-
pie do not realize that the home
building industry has important
inhibitors that tend to keep out
put we'll in line with demand on
a community basis.
I'm the first place." he said,
''locai FILA and VA Offices all
over the country subject applica-
tions for financing to close scru-
tiny in relation to whether the
market will absorb production.
Second, mortgage lenders
make their own decisions on
loans after careful consideration
of local needs and demand.
Third. builders themselves,
likewise. are careful to build only
up to the market. They don't like
to build when demand is not evil
dent.
During the period of postwar
acute shortages, it was not un-
usual for builders to go ahead
with 500 or 1000 houses at a
clip. in full knowledge that long
before the homes were completed
they would be sold.
To-day, builders are more con-
servative, in that many build
model houses and sell from them,
or build in small groups, con-
tinuing closely in line with sales.
1.-THE steadiness of demand is
everywhere evident, and in no
area is there a substantial VOL
ume of unsold houses.
Under the circumstances, 1t
is not surprising that home

Next Saturday is the dead
line for builders to submit en-
tries of houses for listing in
the Directory of Spring
Homes" to be a main feature
of The Evening Stars forth
coming two-section Spring
Homes Review.
Already. more than 100
builders have entered listings
in the directory. 1t will appear
In both of the two expanded
editions of The Stars Home
Section.
Many builders including the
presidents of the three home
builders associations in the
Metropolitan area, have called
public attention to The Stars
program,
The first expanded section
will appear Saturday. April 80,
and the second will appear

concentrate special news COW
erage on aspects Of the Metro

home building activity to open

son.
Both large and small build
ers will be entitled to list
homes in the directory to be
published in the Spring Homes
Review Sections. Homes must
be substantially under way or
completed. There will be no

charge to builders for this
listing.
In statements today. the
president of the three area
home building groups pointed
to the forthcoming Spring
Homes Review sections as Of
fering benefits to the public at
this time of year.
Charles S. Callander. presi-
dent of the Northern virginia
Builders Association, said:
Builders now are ready to
offer their spring and summer
models, and The Star Spring
Homes Review will come at
an appropriate time to kick
off this season.
I'VE are sure that factual
information about houses at
this time of year will be vel
coined not alone by persons
now facing the opportunity to
acquire a home, but by others
who may expect to do SO in
the future.
''Since I am most familiar
with Northern Virginia, ] can
say that in this rapidly de-
veloping area there is a very
active home building program
under way now that is re-
markable both from the
standpoint of the variety of
homes that are being pro-
duced, and Of the price range"

Home building activity during
March failed to come up to Its
usual seasonal rise over the pre-
vious month, the Departments
of Labor and Commerce have
reported.
Despite this failure, residential
building ran up a total of $1.14
billion worth of work during
March to make an all-time rec
ord outlay for that month.
In addition, home construction
figures released by the two de-
partments showed total expendi-
lures of $3.3 billion for the first
three months of the year, setting
an all-time record for the first
quarter. The $3.3 billion spent
was a IS per cent rise over the
outlay during the same period
last year.
And the 1855 first quarter resi-

builders do not share the view
that the country is over-building

"On the contrary, builders feel
that both housing production
