The restoration bill was worked
out in conferences between the
House subcommittee and j. A. B.

Mr.. Harris said Mr.. Broadwater

bill is satisfactory to him ana
that he would recommend APP

Harris said the subcommittee
would take the title of one Of the

portation system or systems to
serve the District of Columbia
and its environs: to create and

purposes" and substitute after
the enacting clause the language
of the franchise restoration bill.

This would leave the measure
within the jurisdiction OF the

year.
At that time, when the pro-
posal came from Senator Hum.
phrey. Democrat of Minnesota,
the Agriculture Department
turned thumbs down. Undersec-
rotary True D. Morse, it was re-
called today, said that the Amer
lean. people would not be willing
to pay farmers for cutting pro-
duction.
1t is argued. too. that soil
conservation legislation now on
the books actually makes a soil
bank plan unnecessary, but this
has been disputed by Agriculture
Secretary Benson.
This position probably is WE'LL
taken in view of the Presidents
new proposal for an advance
payment soil bank program.
Republican leaders who held
their weekly conference with
President Eisenhower this morn
ing said afterward that they
proposed to do all within their
power to put the soil-bank pro-
gram across and hoped the DEM
ocrats would cooperate.
Senator Knowland of CAL
ifornia, Senate minority leader
was hopeful that after this tenn
porary furry has passed." the
Democrats would line up behind
the program. He added that
farmers would be disappointed
if there were no action.
Pointing out that Congress
will be in session until at least
mid-July. Senator Knowland
saw no reason why the soil bank
program should not be adopted
IF there really is desire to
help farmers" He recalled that
this feature was not in contro-
versy in either House or Senate,
Representative Martin oil
Massachusetts, said the veto
will be sustained in the House,
and that his purpose is to call a

fort to obtain unanimous agree
ment on the "bank" program,

by a simple provision he
said, 1.-The Congress can author
izc the Government TO begin
making payments to a maximum
of so per cent after a farmer
signs a contract"
The new Eisenhower proposal
would mean that, Immediately
after July l. farmers who signed
up under the plan would be eli
gible to collect half the Federal
benefit payment they would be
due. rather than wait for all of
it next year. The final half
payment would be made upon
compliance.
Two other farm aid moves, not
covered in the veto message he
sent to Congress at noon yester-
day. were announced by the
President in his talk to the Ma
ton last night.
He said he shortly will ask
Congress for increased authori-
cation to continue our successful
movement of farm SURPRISES into
constructive uses overseas" Such
action, he added will further
bolster domestic markets"
He also called on Congress to
pass promptly the liberalizing
farm credit legislation which he
recommended previously, espe-
cially, to help meet credit needs
of young farmers with special
problems"

President Eisenhower and Re-
publican leaders from all parts
of the country, here for a cam
Ipaign strategy conference. today
began the battle to overcome re-
sentiment in the farm States
against low prices-a battle they
hope to win before the November
elections.

While the veto of the farm bill
lett some of the Midwest Repub-
lican leaders dissatisfied and APP
prehensive, there was general
agreement that the President s
program, contained in his veto
message to Congress. lightened
the situation for the farmers and
frightened it for the G.. o. P. In
any event, the Republicans are
expected to rally solidly back of
the President now-as the best
asset of the party and almost
certain to win reelection.
Some Dissatisfaction
Evidences of Republican dis
satisfaction with the farm bill
veto came from a conference of
party leaders from farm States
with committee of seven set UP
to hear their campaign problems
and advise with them. Some of
the confereeS. among them

situation in Kansas and South
Dakota for the G. o. P. was not
favorable. Both these States
have been strongly Republican
in the past. and while the going
in them may be rougher, the
party leaders still insist that
Eisenhower can carry them.

group that the Democrats may

Mr.. Dulles concluded that If it

Presidents appeal and that there

of course. be welcomed by the
United States.
Mr.. Dulles said that war can
be avoided.
Asked if war would be avoided,
he replied that the chances are
that there will not be war, but
it would be very rash indeed to
say that there is no possibility

they were delighted with the

have been of no benefit to the
Wisconsin dairy farmers.
Mrs. Elizabeth E. Heffelfinger.
national committeeman for
Minnesota, declared the Presi-
dent had acted in character when
he vetoed the farm bill. a mea-
sure which he did not believe was
in the interest of the farmers
and the entire American people.
Republican State Chairman
Clarence Baldwin OF Connecti-
cut and other Republicans from
the East said they believed the
President had been right III his
veto of the farm bill. Mr.. Bald
win added that the veto would
help the Republicans in his State.
Charges Politics
Chairman Hall told reporters
it was apparent the Democrats
in Congress have been playing
politics with the farmers pre-
dicament; that they determined
to send the President a farm
bill he could not sign. hoping
thus to aroIGn-Still further anti
Republican feeling among the
farmers. He said. too, that the
Democratic controlled Congress
had deliberately stalled" the
farm bill. which the President
sent to Congress last January .
and did not pass, in greatly
amended form. until few days
ago.
Mr. Hall predicted that the
American people would sustain
President Eisenhower in his veto
of the bill. He added that the
President indicated he would in
crease the support prices for
wheat and other basic crops;
that wheat would move from 76
to 81 per cent parity price ssup]
ports: corn from 81 TO So per
cent, and rice from IS to SO per
cent.
While admitting that the
farmers in agricultural States
are not satisfied they are getting
a fair share of the country's
prosperity. Mi Hall predicted:
The veto won't cost us any
States" He said he believed that
the President by administrative
action could help the farmers
lot, and that if the Congress
now passes a soil bank bill as
demanded by the President. the
economic situation of the farm
ers would improve materially.

main answer to the farm prob
lens he says the controversial
bill he vetoed yesterday would
make worse.
Mr.. Eisenhower carried argu-
ments for what he called his
sound" program to the coun-
try last night in a television-
radio speech explaining why he
defied political pressure" to veto
the farm bill passed by Congress
last week.
Had No Choice"
II had no choice" he asserted
II could not sign this bill into
law because it was bad bill
In the months ahead. it would
hurt more farmers than it would
help. In the long run it would
hurt all farmers
The Presidents speech was
carried on radio by all four ma :
jor networks, and on television
by NBC and ABC. The Columbia
Broadcasting System offered the
Democratic Party equal radio
time to reply to the President
CHS officials said the reply was
set for 10 pm. next Monday
Democratic National Chairman
Paul Butler was seeking equal
time from the other networks,
NBC officials said they expect to
meet his request. but the details
have not yet been worked out.
Taking cognizance of the
fears of some Republicans that
his veto will hurt the G. o. P. in
the November elections, the
President insisted that the farm
problem should not be "a polit-
ical football"
He said he was warned that
his veto was a risky thing" in
an election year. But. he de-
clared. his aim was and is tic
do the right thing as I see it
regardless of political pressure. >
Mr.. Eisenhower's principal OBJ
lection to the bill he vetoed was
its provision for a return this
year to rigid 80 per cent of parity
price supports.
| Fears Further Drop
He charged that such "un-
balanced price support legisla-
ton of the past many years has
distorted production and mar
kets. and piled up price-depres-
sing SURPRISES" These Surpluses
he added, ARE the primary cause
of the farm troubles today" de-
pressing farm income by many
hundreds of millions of dollars
last year"
Going back to the rigid price
prop system would encourage
production of even more shock
ing SURPRISES. which would
further depress farm prices in
the market" he argued.
This and other awkward and
clumsy provisions, he said
would have made almost use
less" the administrations backed

tanned.
THE fact is that we got q
hodgepodge in which the bao
provisions more than Cancelled
out the good" the President as
serted.
Furthermore. he said the LONG
delay in congressional action
made it too late for the original
soil bank plan Ito do much good
this year" The double barrelleo
aim of that plan is to bolster
current farm income and cut
down surpluses.
Under the original plan, farm
ers who signed UP to take lano
out OF production OF surplus
commodities and put it in

ton reserve" would get benefit
payments at the end of the crop
