acres from cultivated farm land.
2. An upward shift in farm
price supports for the best quail
ity wheat, cotton and other basic
crops.
3. A trial of the tWo-price syS-
TEN on rice, one of the six basic
crops.
The Senator outlined his ideas

deep-seated problems of agricul-

We'll. there has been an at

farm problem that has been at
tacked-it's the farmers.
Secretary Of Agriculture Ben
son began driving down farm
prices as soon as he took Office
In the non-basic commodities
where price support levels were
discretionary with the Secretary
he began lowering support prices
early In 1858. He reduced the
price Of milk in 1854. And the
worst is yet to come. because
this year support prices are going
to slide even farther down Ben
sons sliding scale - and The
farmers are going to slide right
into the abyss Of bankruptcy
Income of 81 Billion
Mr.. Truman said that In the
three years Of the Eisenhower
administration farm prices have
gone down, prices to consumers
have stayed UP. farm income has
slumped 81 billion. farm produc-
ton has increased and Govern
ment stocks on hand have piled
up.
And he said the price support
system had cost more in those
three years than In the entire
20 Democratic years prior to
them.
He called Mr.. Eisenhower's
special message to Congress too
little and too late-eyen If they
meant what is says"
Every recommendation in. the
message that was any good, Mr..
Truman argued, was copied
from the Democrats.
There is nothing In this mes
sage that will stop the decline
in farm income this year or
next" he said.
If the Republicans really
wanted to help the farmer, Mr..
Truman continued, they could
do these things:
l. Sit down and consult some
real farmers instead of bankers,
professors and farm extension
specialists, and give farmers a
voice in management of their
affairs.
2. Channel surplus food and
fiber to the poor and hungry Of
the world abroad to save lives
and fight against communism.
8. Use some of the surplus to
improve the diet of underprivi-
legged here at home.
4. Restore price supports to
80 per cent Of parity.
Mr.. Truman predicted the
COP. would do none of these.

There is one fly in the oint.
ment. That is the controversial
and oft-criticized willis" order
that was issued from the White
House several years ago. The
order requires political clearance
for civil service jobs paying $780,
600 or more a year.
Although the order never was
widely used because of the glar-
ing newspaper publicity given II
(the White House never did
make the order public. it is still
on the books. Administration
Officials say that the order, fol-
all intents and purposes, is dead
And this generally does seem to
be the case.
Nevertheless. as long as the
order remains on the books ano
is not rescinded, it still officially
represents the policy of the Els
enhower administration.
And career employees are still
very much troubled over it.
/ Federal employee groups and
the nonpartisan, business-sup-
ported National Civil. Service
League have urged the admins
tration to rescind the order. The
League declared that as long as
the order is, allowed to remain
even though mpribund, it always
presents the danger of being
used by agency heads or even
succeeding administrations.
] The White House has refused
to rescind the order. The main
reason being that some admins
tration officials fear that rescind-
ing the order would be a public
admission that it existed in the
first place.
/ This type Of reasoning is hard
to follow. Everyone knows that
there is such q thing as the Willis
order. AS long as nothing is
done about it. it will continue to
cast a cloud over the merit
system. And that would be q
shame. since the Eisenhower ad-
ministration has done some good
things for the merit system.
! The Civil Service Commission
during the past few years has
generally done an effective and
sincere job Of administering the
merit system. But lowering over
