Benson Moves to Beam
Crop-Reducing Plan

cause of the lateness of the sea-
son.
Under the acreage reserve fea-
lture of the soil bank, farmers
will be paid for reducing their
Iacreages of corn. cotton. wheat,
rice, peanuts and some varieties
Iof tobaccos.
Total payments will depend on
the average yield of the crops
reduced. Under the scale an
nounced today. farmers will get
80 cents a bushel for corn cut
back; $1.20 a bushel for wheat
is cents a pound for cotton ano
I$2.25 c.w.t. for rice. This figures
about 60 per cent of the support
price for corn and wheat anc
about so per cent of that foi
cotton and rice.
Peanut and tobacco cut-bacE
prices will be announced later
Secretary Benson said that thu

if the land were put in cultiva.
ton.
Under the conservation re.
serve feature of the program
farmers are to be compensated
for pulling any crop land out
of production. Details of thest
payments are to be worked out
later.
Secretary Benson conceded
that there probably is some jus.
LITIGATION" for the provision ir
the new law which permits farm.
erS to collect payments under
the acreage reserve by "plowinl
under" crops already in the
ground although he does not like
that idea. However, he said the
soil bank program is getting
started late and compliance gen.
orally will be restricted because
so many crops are already in
the ground.
The department still must an

farmers must decide if the!

Finds Farmers Interested
The Secretary said he had nj
idea how much blowing unde

"only time will tell" how man,

He said, however, that on tn
basis of reports in the field, "res

ducers came here ro0ay to open
unprecedented joint contract
negotiations with the United
SteelworkerS Union.
For the first time. the three
companies-United States Steel
Corp, Bethlehem Steel Co. and
Republic Steel Co. - Joined at
the bargaining table. But they
emphasized they were acting
separately.
After David ]. Mcdonald,
president of the USW, had an
nounced the new procedure in
negotiations earlier this week.
Vice President John A. Steph-
ems of United States Steel told
the same news conference the
move is not to be construed as
industry-wide bargaining.

an early settlement" MIR. Steph-
ems said.

about $4,000 of the $4,000

industry whose contracts expire
at midnight June 80.

Three" and the USW will meet
here again tomorrow. The ses-
sions then are expected to recess
until June 6, when they resume
at New York.
Usuallys the contract nego-
tiationS are held in Pittsburgh
Only a few times-when Federal
mediators intervened-have the
negotiations been held outside
the steel capital.
Mr.. Stephens said the shift to
New York is being made because
the city neutral territory and
We will be where the spotlight
is not so focused"
Although Mr.. Mcdonald has
made no secret of his ambitions
to get the steel industry to bar
gain on an industry-wide basis,
he said each of the three major
steel companies will be bar
gaining only for itself"
Extensive Demands Expected
| Meanwhile, negotiations with
iother companies are expected to
be on a standby basis-to see
what happens between the USW
and the Big Three.

United States Steel. Bethlehem
picked its general counsel. John

Republic chose Vice President
Thomas F. Patton.
The USW negotiating team is
made up of Mr.. Mcdonald,

and Arthur Goldberg, general
counsel.
The union has not revealed its
exact demands, but they make
up what is believed to be the
