BY ALAN EMORY
North American Newpapsr Alliance


Secretary Of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson, the storm center
|of the farm problem. offered his
resignation to President Eisen-
hover early this year, but the
President turned 1t down.
Mr.. Benson ct that time won
|staunch support from Mr.. Eisen-
hover. whom he win meet In
Denver today. The Secretary's
fellow cabinet members have also
generally supported his policies.
But some Of them have warned
Mr.. Benson that the farm prob
lem was hurting the q. o. r.
politically.
This Is the background Of
|published reports that three top
administration officials had tried
to oust the Secretary from the
cabinet. While acknowledgine
that one or two cabinet mem-
bers were concerned over the
drop In farm prices, Mr.. Benson
yesterday denied that an attempt
had been made BY his colleagues
TO foreshorten his cabinet career
And the White House added its
own denial.
Mr.. Benson entered Federal
service with q promise to the
President that he would STAY
two years. but no more.
Meeting Held on Schedule
Mr.. Eisenhower replied that
after the two years were up he
and the Secretary would have
Ia visit. This meeting occurred on
schedule. and Benson told Mr..
Eisenhower he would be pleased
to be relieved"
The President answered that
~ the farm Secretary quit, he
would too.
The two men talked at length,
and the President prevailed. Mr..
Benson stayed on the job.
Last month Mr.. Benson told
presidential aide Maxwell M.
Rabb that 1t was time to review
the farm situation In a Cabinet
meeting.
Cabinet Session Described
Here is an authoritative re-
port on what occurred when the
Cabinet did take UP the farm
Question.
Mr.. Benson presented a paper
outlining the current farm prob
lem. the present program and
suggested changes to strengthen
the program. He gave the Cab
linet q 45-minute review, and q
free discussion followed, includ-
ling talk Of the farm probiemt
political implications.
Postmaster General Summer
Held, Attorney General Brown
ell and White House Disarma-
ment Expert Harold e. Stasser
cracked down hard on the polit.
ical angle. although at no time
did they tell Benson they were
against either him or his pro-
gram. They never told him he

possibly admit that in order to
give security to the Soviet Union
they must abandon their own" /"
On the other hand, Western
spokesmen repeated the basic
4 allied argument: that talk Of q
European security system with
out German reunification was
meaningless since "there can be
no security In Europe as long
rs Germany remains divided. /"
The Vests own proposals rep
resent at least some advance
since the general discussion Of
European security at the sum-
NIT conference. Several specific
new measures are suggested, in-
cluding establishment Of ad.
vance radar listening posts in
the other sides territory, agree
ments on limitation and control
of forces in central Europe and
the obligation of all parties to
react against aggression.
81 Whether these new provisions
are likely TO make the Western
plan more palatable TO the Rus
SLAMS Is another question. For
one thing, they are based on the
clearly stated assumption that
q reunited Germany would
promptly become q member Of
NATO. In fact. the most i'm
portant provision Of the treaty
the obligation to react against
an aggressor-would not apply
In the case of Germany until
abe became q member Of the
Western group.
This may be logical enough
since II Germany does not join
NATo the Russians presumably
would have very little 70 worry
about. But stated as bluntly
Is Il is. the Western argument
can hardly be called conciliatory
to the Russian point Of view.
Tor his part, MIR. Molotov has
promptly denounced the plan as
o scheme to force Germany into
NATO without the consent Of
the German people, remilitarize
the country and weld 1t into
the Western military bloc. And
although 1t is always possible
that the Russians may revise
this opinion on q closer study Of
the Western plan. Mr.. Molotoy
didn't sound yesterday like q
man who Is going to change his
mind easily.
Even today there are some who
viii welcome the stalemate which
seems to be developing here.
There is a certain reinsurance
In the fact that lines are once
more firmly drawn with both
sides settling back In their en-
trenched positions. After sew
eral months Of fluid uncertain
ty, it Is almost restful to find
the Russians talking like Rus
SLAMS once again.
In the long view, however.
there Is q great deal less ground
for satisfaction. Today the West
no longer Is In the fortunate
position where it can wrap itself
In righteousness. sit tight and
let the Russians growl outside.
