Queen Elizabeth
To Make To-Day
Visit in October
BY the Associated Press

Early October has been Sc
lected for the long-reported visit
to this country by Queen Eliza
beth II and Prince Philip.
This was learned yesterday
from persons familiar with the
negotiations that have been
under way for months between
Washington and London. The
British Queen and her husband
are expected to spend about 10
days in this country.
This win be the Queens first
visit. to America since she as
cended the throne in 1852. She
and her husband. then the Duke
of Edinburgh. were here in 1851
as guests Of former President
Truman.
It is expected that the Queen.
formal acceptance Of an invi.
tation from President Eisen.
hover will be received here ir
two or three weeks. This win b.
the signal that all the myriad
"details for a state visit have
finally been worked out with the
British Foreign Office.
Elaborate secrecy has marked
the negotiations ever since they
began, as is usual in such cases
but 1t is expected that the roya'
visit will include other cities
besides Washington.

Mrs. Eisenhower at the Whit,

This shift Of production from
the big surplus crops to others
could be limited if not prevented
if the administration cared tc
take the step. In fact. Mr.. Ben
son first started out to prevent
just such a thing in 1854, but
later changed his mind.
In setting up broad produc-
ton controls on the major crops
in 1854. Mr.. Benson issued a
regulation which would have
limited the crop acreage of ali
except the very small farms. The
department issued planting al
lotmentS for the major crops and
on top Of that an overall cror
planting allotment. This later
allotment would have held farms
to recent levels of paintings Of
uncontrolled crops.
The device he planned to use
to enforce thus overall allotment
was the price support program
Price support aid on any and al
products would have been denied
farms which planted in excess OF
their overall allotments.
But before planting time. Mr.
Benson reScinded this regula.
ton. He acted after some Repub.
lican members of Congress from
farm States complained that the
program would be too restrictive
and would be unpopular with
many farmers,

BAGS economic policy commit
tee, said the consensus was that
the present rate of production
of goods and services-about
$427 billion annually--will be
Slightly improved" Contrary to
earlier forecasts that the pres
ept quarter might show o slight
dip. Mr.. Houser said the OUT
look was for modest gains quar-
ter by quarter.
He gave the following more
detailed picture:
A continuing slow rise in
prices can be expected. caused
by the persistent pressure Of
rising wages and other costs.
The squeeze on profits will
continue making 1t difficult to
keep prices stable. Mr.. Houser
said: II don't think that creep
ing imitation Is any less serious
now than it was q year ago."
Business Outlook Improves
Business sentiment has i'm
proved markedly within the past
three months. Mr.. Houser went
on. based on these upward
forces:
Continued gains in the personal
income Of consumers, contribute
ing to sustained buying.
Increases in commercial con-
struction of all types. as well as
in the OUTLAWS of State and local
governments for schools, roads
and other projects.
Prospective increases in Fed
eral spending.
A high rate Of business invest
ment in new plants and equip
ment. although this powerful
business stimulant shows signs
of leveling OF and perhaps even
dipping very slightly by the end
of the year.

Defense Aide
Resigns Post
By the Associated Press

The White House announced
yesterday the resignation Of
Frank D. Newbury Of Pittsburgh
as Assistant Secretary Of Defense
for Research and Engineering
effective May II.
Mr.. Newbury. a mechanical
engineer and long time friend of
Secretary of Defense Wilson, has
been the subject of some criti-
cism on grounds that he sighted
basic research and put empha-
sis on the Importance of engi-
neers controlling the develop
ment of new weapons and equip
ment.
He told news conference in
March, however. that he favors
more money for research and
more effective research of all
kinds"
DissensiOn Noted
Mr.. Newbury formerly was AS
sistant Secretary for Engineering
and there was another Assistant
Secretary for Research and De-
velopment,, The last man to hold
the latter position. DR.. Clifford
Furnas. said at the time he re-
signed in February that Mr.
Newbury was gaining too strong
a voice in such projects as the
development of an atomic-pow-
cred aircraft.
DR.. Furnas said scientist.
should control such projects.
Mr.. Wilson. however, com.
bined the two old jobs in late
February. creating an assistant
secretaryship for military re.
search and engineering anc
naming Mr.. Newbury to I'LL it.
Mr.. Wilson said last month
that the resignation of Mr.. New.
bury, who is rs and a former
vice president Of the Westing.
house Electric Corp. was immi.
nent.
Praised by President
In his letter of resignation Il
President Eisenhower, Mr.. New.
bury said he is leaving the De.

Tour years for personal reasons.
Accepting the resignation, Mr.
eisenhower said he was deeply

farmers.
But the administration is con-
fronted by the fact that the Soil
Bank program did little good in
its initial trial last year in re-
ducing production Of surplus
crops.
Agriculture Department off,
Gals agree that most of the quar-
ter of a billion dollars paid to
q. farmers under this program last
year was for rental of land
which, because of drought OF
other factors. would not have
produced much anyway.
Complex Problem
The administration is con-
fronted by the further possibility
that this years Soil Bank pro-
gram-likely to cost around one
billion dollars-will be less than
so per cent effective in reducing
production.
Latest information indicates
that farmers may retire around
Is million acres of land from
production of such crops as
wheat. cotton. corn. rice and
tobacco.
But a department planting
survey indicated recently that
the actual reduction in the acre
age of all crops may be only IL
million acres. The survey showed
that many farmers were taking
land out Of some crops but were
Increasing acreages of others.
I'm a letter to Congress last
week, Mr.. Benson said present
farm production control meas
ures - now limited to cotton
wheat, rice. tobacco and peanuts
ARE not working. He said they
are failing because of two things
action of farmers of selecting
their best land for use and Of
intensifying operations and in
creasing acre yields. and ten
dency of farmers to shift from
controlled crops to uncontrolled
ones.
:. Harvests Climb
The failure of present control
measures to operate effectively
was shown clearly by last years
production picture. Although
farmers reduced paintings nearly
5 per cent to the smallest CROP
acreage in 20 years, the harvest
equalled the record.
Because Of the march Of agri-
cultural technology, there is the
possibility that production thi;
year will be Of record proportion,
despite combined efforts of pres.
ent control measures and thu
soil bank program to hold il
down. Mr.. Benson has calico
the soil bank program one Of the
biggest land most expensive op.
eyations in the history Of agri.
culture
!. Any reduction in SURPRISES Of
cotton. wheat, corn, rice anc
peanuts-principal crops directly
affected by the Soil Bank as vel
as rigid marketing quotas-coulc
easily be offset by creating new
CT larger SURPRISES of Other
crops, such as soybeans, oats
barley, flaxseed, dry beans anc
the like.
: In other words. the whole
operation may do little more
than transfer burdens Of sur.
pluses from producers Of the five
Soil Bank crops TO producers O
other products.
