THE EVENING STAR AS
Washington, D. c. ~
TUESDAY, OCTOBER l6, 1856

ELKO, New. Oct. is (R.-
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
claims that the Republican adj
ministration checked five long
years Of farm price declines
when we got rid of rigid price
supports in 1854"
In a speech last night at this
livestock center's high school,
Mr. Benson charged that "S5 per
cent Of the farm price decline
following the Korean war infia-
ton came while rigid price sup-
ports were in effect"
He added that everybody is
happy with the farm economy
but the cheap demagogues.
Agricultural exports today are
at their highest point in 80 years
and farm income is now six per
cent above its level at the first
|of this year." he said.
Mr.. Benson said the admins
|tration's soil bank program is one
of the "maior tools for a nros-
porous, expanding and free econ
|omy." He said price supports
can help you, but price supports
ARE far from a whole answer"
Earlier. at Reno, he replied to
Democratic criticism. He said
their programs amounted to.
''strict controls, rigid war time
price supports. piled-up surplus
and the socialistic Brannan
plan"

the Republicans at any time.
1T is basically Democratic in
its politics. Mr.. Eisenhower's
victory four years ago was by
a narrow margin in a State
which cast approximately 1.9
million votes. Going back to
and including the election of
1912. the Republicans have
carried Missouri only four times
to seven for the Democrats.
G. o. P. Wins Recalled
The Republican victories came
in 1920, right after World War /:
lin 1924, when the Democratic
Party had torn itself apart al
its Madison Square Garden con-
Ivention: in 1923. when the Dem
ocratic candidate was the late
Alfred E. Smith of New York,
and four years ago in the Eisen-
hover sweep. 1t seems apparent
that If Mr.. Eisenhower is able
to carry Missouri now he will
Ibe victorious in almost, if not
all, the States he won in 1852.
Mr.. Eisenhower's handicaps in
Missouri seem to be a lack of
the fighting spirit among his
supporters which was so strongly
in evidence four years ago; the
resentment of the farmers over
loss of income, the strenuous
efforts of organized labor in be-
half of Mr.. Stevenson, and a
swing back by Democratic voters
to their old party loyalties. La
Dor organizations fear an at
tempt to put through fright

of the other States now have
They have gone all out in this
campaign. therefore, to line up
their members for Democratic
candidates from Mr.. Stevenson
on down the line.
Republicans Woo Negroes
4 Republicans have made a
strong effort to win over the
Negro voters to the Eisenhower
cause. The Negro vote in this
State is material, particularly
in st. Louis and Kansas City. It
is said to be somewhere between
is and 20 per cent of the total in
these cities. Obviously a major
shift in this vote could be effec-
tive.
Ever since the days of the
Franklin D. Roosevelt admins
tration, this vote has been Dem
ocratic. At least 80 per cent, and
probably 80 per cent, OF the
Negro votes have been cast for
the Democratic candidates. Even
in 1852, the Negroes stuck in the
main to Mr.. Stevenson. Republic
can leaders say they have had
some success in convincing Me-
gro voters they should now line
up for Mr.. Eisenhower, but It
is a limited success.
The Democrats appear to be
better organized than the Re-
publicans, who still have fac
tional troubles. The Barak Mat

NEW YORK. Oct. is R.-
Representative Adam Clayton

says President Eisenhower told
him he favored failing anyone
who disobeyed the Supreme
Court decision to desegregate
schools.
In Washington. the White
House withheld comment. James
c. Hagerty, Mr.. Eisenhower's
press secretary, said there would
be no comment until he had a
chance to see the fun text of
Mr.. Powell's remarks.
Mr.. Powell, a Negro from
Harlem, visited the President at
the White House last week, and
afterward Endorsed the President
for reelection.
He told of his visit at an
Eisenhower rally in Harlem Sat-
urday night. His remarks. as
Transcribed by CHS and pre-
sented in part on a filmed news
show Sunday night, included the
following passage:
II asked Mr.. Eisenhower If
could see him, and on Thursday
I saw him at the White House.
! then said to the President:
"'Mr. President, in the event
that a school district refused
to obey that decision of the Fed
eral Court what do ycu advo-
cate?'
HE Eisenhower said: Mr..
Powell, advocate thai the teC :
eral Court shall get Federal
marshals, swear in deputies If
they need them, go out and
arrest anyone who refuses to
obey their orders, bring them
before the court. try them for
contempt, and. if they're guilty,
put them in prison.
II (Powell) said, That's what
we want up in Harlem and I
thought that's what you
wanted"

Raps Rigid Supports
Assailing rigid high farm price
supports favored by Mr.. Steven
son. over the Eisenhower flexible
support program, the President
said:
This year is the first year
since World War II that farm
prices have started back up with
out the economic help of a war.
1t is also the first full year in
which programs sponsored by this
administration have operated.
Contrast that with the eight
long years-excepting one Ko-
rean war year-when prices went
down under the old laws"
Disputing what he described
as charges by "overly excited
political orators that he is
against the little farmer, Mr..
Eisenhower cited concrete
ways" his administration has
helped the little farmer by such
things as extending social Sc
curity to them, refunding the
Federal gas tax. liberalizing the
farm credit program and start
ing the soil bank.
New Rural Program
He also cited his new rural
development program as a
bold. long-range program for
lifting the lowest people

their education. skills, credit
