Eisenhower Urges
A Gnod Farm Bill
Continued from first pagel

Meanwhile, Agriculture Gef,art-
ment officials reported they see lit
tie opportunity for the proposed
new soil bank to help farmers this
year.
Accordingly, Ihey are looking
through laws already on the books
to see what they might use to good
effect.
Offiaials who said the soil bank
benefits have a slim chance of OPP
Grating this year based their belief
on the possibility Eisenhower
might veto the farm Dill now in the
making. or there might not be
enough time to put the soil bank
into effect.
The system proposes paying
farmers $1,000, 100000 a year for
taking land out of production of
crops already in surplus. However,
the planting season has already be-
gun.
Meanwhile, on Monday, a House
agriculture subcommittee propOs-
ed that small family-type farms be
given government price supports
at 100 per cent of parity.
Parity is standard calculated
to reflect a fair price to the farm
producer in relation to the cost
of things he must buy
The pending farm bill provides
for a one-year return to a rigid
mandatory system of 80 per cent
supports for basic commodities.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
has predicted Eisenhower will veto
any rigid price support measure.
Benson contends it was high
price support that led, in large
part, to the accumulation of bill
lions of dollars worth of farm sur
pluses. He and Eisenhower are
committed to a flexible support
system, based on supply and de-
mand.
Under the flexible system, how
ever, they. could still move this year
to get higher income in farmers
pockets by raising the supports
now in effect For example, wheat
is now supported at rs per cent of
parity, and could be raised consid-
erably without hitting the 80 per
cent level contained in the pro-
posed new farm bill.
The question of helping farmers
has political as we'll as economic
importance. This is an election
year, and in some sections farmers
have been tagging in the nations
general prosperity parade.
The Senate House committee
which has the job of whipping to-
gether a compromise farm bill re-
sumed its work ON Tuesday.

6. Choose the type of livestock

comes from the "above-average'

use these accounts in planning
your farming program from year

The Santa Fe Railroad gave the
City of Brownfield water tank,
no longer needed in the new age

There was one condition to the
gift-the city was to remove the
cement-anehored tank.
A city crew laboriously dug out
the cement but was baffled by the
task of easing the big tank over
on its side so that it could be
dragged away.
That's when a Texas norther
blew up, and tossed the tank on its
side Just where the crew wanted
it. Saved the city $3.50.

Pay Increases
Proposed for
u. ). Scientists

The Presidents Interdepart-
mental Committee on Scientific
Research and Development has
made an urgent plea to the
White House to ask Congress for
Legislation to set new methods of
fixing the pay of the Govern
Iment's scientists and engineers
The Star learned today.
Alarmed at the Government s
failure to retain and attract key
scientists and engineers, which
lit declared is threatening nation
al security. the committee sent a
special message to the White
House asking that steps be taken
to increase the pay of this type
of personnel.
The committee is composed of
the heads of the Governments
scientific and research agencies
as well as some of the top scien-
fists in the Federal service.
| It urged Mr.. Eisenhower to
ask Congress Immediately for
legislation to remove scientists
and engineers from the CLASH
! flcation Act. Under the proposal
the various Federal agencies
would have the authority to ad-
Just scientific ana engineering
pay to match the salaries paid
in private industry.
In its communication to the
President, the committee de-
Iclared: 1.-The effective planning
direction and conduct of vitality
important Government research
and development programs re-
Iquire the competence and judg-
|ment of well qualified research
scientists and engineering per-
sonnet"
The committee added: "An up
ward spiraling of salaries for
critical specialists in industry is
making Government salaries
fixed by law less and less ade-
Iquate to recruit and retain such
personnel in Government, Great
ing a situation detrimental to
the we'll being and security of
the Nation and requiring prompt
action"
