that as a signal they want a

Farm Message Awaited
Mr.. Eisenhower viii detail his
farm program recommendations
in q special message to Congress
tomorrow.
In his broad State -of the
Union outline last Thursday, Mr..
Eisenhower urged that farm
problems be kept out Of partisan
politics.
Senator Ellender said he agrees
with the President that efforts
to solve the drop in farm prices
and incomes should be kept out
of this years election campaign.
IT told Secretary Benson this
could be done If the administra-
ton co-operates with my COM
mittee and the Congress"
4-Point Program Asked
Senator Ellender said he asked
Benson to include these four
major points in the program the
President sends to Congress:
l. Effective methods for dis
posal of the more than 81 bill
lion worth OF farm SURPRISES
now piled UP under Government
price support programs.
2. A soil bank" plan that
would give farmers payments
in either commodities or cash IL
they agreed to retire acreages
producing surplus crops.
| 3. A revision of farm price
supports so that high quality
cotton, wheat and other crops
would get top values while lower
grade production would be dis
couraged. Critics say much Of
the surplus wheat and cotton
now in Government hands are
of inferior grades.
