Louisiana, rejected the idea oil
going back to the 80 per cent
level, explaining that such leg
islation would be certain to en-
counter a veto. The same stand
was taken by another member Of
the committee, Senator Thye
Republican of Minnesota.
Today, the Louisianan indi-
Gated his belief that a veto was
not a certainty, because other
things" have been tied in with
the price levels. He also said
that a return to rigid supports
for the basics seemed to be the
only alternative Ito give the
farmer immediate relief" since
he had been unable to get an
agreement on a plan for high
level supports for quality
products and lower guarantees
for poorer grade commodities.
He said 1--WE don't find anyone
to give US a good yardstick" for
quality" grades of the basics,
but he was hopeful" that some
thing might be worked out"
I'm making every effort" the
Loulisianan said.
February Is Target Date
He told reporters that the COM
mittee, with its 81 Democratic
majority would easily vote to the
rigid price base. One or two pos

Chairman Ellender had ex-
pected to report out the bill to-
morrow but he said there is nc
particular hurry now since the
Senate will be tied up for several
days with gas and sugar legisla-
ton. The chairman is sticking to
the target date of February is
for getting a bill to President
Eisenhower's desk.
In order to save as much time
as possible, Chairman Ellender
said he intended to keep the
House Agriculture Committee
abreast of Senate developments,
SO differences might be adjusted
with more facility when the bill
eventually goes to conference.
Soil-bank costs will be one
angle discussed at today's closed
door discussion.
The administration had ex-
pected to get by with about
$3.50 million over current costs
for the first year Of the plan.
but Senator Ellender says 1t looks
now as though the cost will be
around SIPS billion annually for
the next two years.
Mandatory Action Sought
There will be some offset from
the sale Of Government COM
modities, but not to the extent
once hoped for.
A decision also must be
reached on whether farmer
participation is to be voluntary
or mandatory. The administra-
ton is holding out for the volun-
tary approach, and has some
support from farm and business
groups. There is. however, strong
farm sentiment for a compulsory
participation. The argument is
advanced that unless there is
some form Of penalty for nom
compliance. there will not be
enough farmers in the plan to
make 1t effective.

General Policies Told
Mr.. Eisenhower said his adj

centrated on building an eco

an orderly expansion of private
activities" rather than by
trying to expand good times
by spending more Government
money.
Lasting prosperity of the Ma

more on what individuals do for
themselves than on what the
Federal Government does or can
do for them"

Conclusion

Foresight has helped our Ma
ton make great strides in recent
years toward a balanced and
sustained prosperity We have
succeeded in expanding the scope
OF free enterprise. and yet in
creased the sense of security
that people need in a highly in
dustrialized age.
Taking recent developments
all together. it is reasonable to
expect that high levels of pro-
duction, employment. and in
come will be broadly sustained
during the coming year, and that
underlying conditions viii re-
main favorable to further eco
nomic growth.
Great opportunities lie ahead
for American businessmen, con-
sumers, workers. farmers, and
investors. The recommendations
of this report should be helpful
in the realization of these OPP
portunities.

Economic Achievements

/ Full employment, rising in
comes and a stable dollar have
been cherished goals Of our So
ciety. The practical attainment
of these ideals during 1855 was
the years great economic
achievement.
The past year has brought
fresh witness to the basic
strength and resiliency Of our
economy. We have broken
Through to new and higher
ground, and have reached the
threshold Of a $500 billion econ
Iomy.
! Whether we observe economic
activity at the stage Of produc-
ton. or employment, or income
disbursement, or consumer
spending, We find evidence Of
progress and prosperity. The
Nations expanding income is be-
ling shared widely. Employment
and wages are at record levels.
Both investment and consumer
spending are going forward at a
good pace. Some groups Of peo-
pile have not. however. enjoyed a
full measure of prosperity. and
we must keep that fact before US
as we build for the future.

IMPETUOUS
YOUNG BOBBY
Back-TO-SchOOl Time" Start
OF Using Utmost Caution
Where There's Children
ISSUES LETTER

Please watch out for impetuous
young Bobby-it's "back to school
time" and that means it's time to
start permanent use of the ut
most caution wherever there are
children.
This message was issued this
week by Mrs. William N. Cam,
vice president for home safety, OF
the Delaware Safety Council. She
explained that 'impetuous young
Bobby is an imaginary six-year-
old mentioned in letter to driv-
ers urging back-to-school safety.
The letter was originally issued
by U. C. Felty, director of the
Ohio Department of Highway
Safety; Mrs. Cam said it lex
presses with originality what ev-
cry driver needs to remember at
this time of year"
The letter and its accompanying
message follows:
Dear Driver:
You don't know my impetuous
young son Bobby who is just six
years old and will start his first
year of school in a few days. You
haven't been privileged to see how
he can turn suddenly from eager
enthusiasm to solemn unconcern
to youthful wisdom. No, you
couldn't know him or love him
as I do-that's why it seems
strange that I will soon have to
trust his very life to you.
Yes, to you-because in a short
while he will march off to school
regularly. He'll be crossing streets,
playing along the way and around
the school. I hoped 1 was prepar-
ing him when 1 threw in some
free advice about the safe way to
do these things-in answering his

CITIZENSHIP
DAY SEPT. IL
Governor BOggs Proclaims
Monday, Sept. IL AS Citiz-
enship Day in Delaware
SPECIAL PROGRAMS

1T is our solemn duty to en-
courage new citizens to use their
privileges at every opportunity in
order to strengthen our system
of government" Governor j. Caleb
Boggs said this week as he pro-
claimed Monday, Sept. II, as
Citizenship Day" in Delaware.
The date was observed for
many years as Constitution Day,
marking the anniversary of the
adoption of that instrument in
Philadelphia on Sept. II, 1887.
However, it was replaced by Citiz-
enship Day through an Act of
Congress.
According to Governor Boggs
the day is primarily observed to
greet new citizens. He said that
"it is most fitting that we give
recognition to all of our people
who have come of age during the
past year, as we'll as those who
have been naturalized and now
practice their full rights as citiz-
ems for the first time"
Governor Boggs asserted that
we should remember the adoption
of the Constitution as well, and
keep in mind that it was through
the ratification of that document
by Delawareans on December Z,
1887, that brought about the title
of First State"
The chief executive called for
special programs to mark the day,
along with a display of the ma
tional and state emblems. In clos
ing, he declared May our flags
serve as visual reminders to all
of us to practice our rights and
privileges and to continue to work
