How many hats did Abraham
Lincoln leave?
Nobody knows for certain. but
a question over one. or possibly
two, is about to be reopened.
A court case over one Lincoln
Ihat-or maybe 1t was two--in
1896 did not shed much light on
the situation.
A Washington family said
there was just one hat. which
had been worn by the Great
Emancipation at his Second In
augural, sent to them by Mrs.
Lincoln and lent by them to
the Patent Office for a Lincoln
exhibit and never returned.
The Government. however,
maintained that there were two
hats, and that the hat in court
had been worn by Mr.. Lincoln
on the night of his assassination.
and had been in continuous pos
session of the Government ever
since.
The Gurley family lost the suit
and the hat because, according
to family tradition, the letter.
covering the hat could not be
found.
Now the letter is available but
the hat seems to be missing.

Bitter Fight Seen
When Bill Reaches
Floor Of Chamber
Rr the Assoclated Press

The Senate Agricultural Com
mittee approved the administra-
tons billion-dollar soil bank
program last night but tackled
ON amendments certain to cause
"a political battle in the Senate
later.
The committee, in an unusual
might session. tentatively APP
proved by an 81 vote a directive
to restore rigid mandatory price
supports on cotton, wheat. corn,
rice and peanuts.
This would sink the flexible
and lower price supports which
President Eisenhower won from
Congress in 1854 after a long
battle.
That year. the Senate re-
versed a similar 81 vote for
rigid supports but this time

Aiken Sees Floor Fight
Senator Aiken, Republican OF
Vermont, who led the successful
1854 fight for flexible controls,
said the same battle will be
fought out again this election
year.
II doubt that many decisions
reached today will stand as
Anal" he added.
In a closed session that lasted
more than IL hours, the COM
Imittee tentatively approved the
omnibus farm bill.
Senator Ellender said farm
leaders and others can offer
criticism Tuesday and Wednes-
day with a final vote on major
details set for Thursday.
In ADDITION to approving the
voluntary soil bank program
pretty much along the lines re-
Iquested by the President and
Secretary of Agriculture Benson,
the Senate committee added
these features in addition TO
high level supports:
Perishable Products
/. A special $3.50 million fund
that could be used in special
price support operations for
.perishable farm products such as
pork, beef and other commod-
titles. This would be in addition
Ito present multi-million dollar
funds.
2. Directed that some $2.5
billion worth of surplus cotton,
wheat and corn be frozen in
"a national security reserve" for
use only in case of war or other
emergency. This would replace
an earlier set aside" program
Iof 1854. 1t would include four
million bales of cotton. 500 mil
lion bushels of wheat and $50
million bushels of corn.
3. Accepted a two-price plan
for rice so that special pay
Iments would go to rice growers
for that part of their crop used
for domestic food. The rest
would sell at market or export
prices.
Administration proposals to
put extra millions of dollars in
farmers pockets this year won
quick committee approval earlier.
