OF course, we have not be-

are taken to restore our tech

Brennan Variation
This proposal apparently is
a variation Of the Brannan
Plan-named for Democratic
Agriculture Secretary Charles
F. Brannan-which would have
substituted direct subsidies for
orthodox price supports.
Mr.. Benson vehemently OPP
poses the Brannan Plan as too
costly and socialistic. Senator
Proxmire said his plan would
be substantially self-financing
with little or no need for
subsidies to farmers" but did
not explain how that could be.
The Senator's plan also pro-
vides for holding farm produc-
ton down to balance supply
and demand. Secretary Benson
has insisted that it's impossible
to control farm production eff
fectively, but Senator Proxmire
maintained major industries
control their output to hold
prices up.
His bill would establish a
genuinely farmer-run" Ma
tional Farm Income Stabiliza-
ton Board to operate the pro-
gram. He also would promote
consumption Of farm output
through such devices as a food
stamp plan to channel sur
pluses to needy families.

trying to sell his program as
advantageous to city dwellers.
Senator Proxmire said his bill

sumers.

prosperity along with the rest

Farm planners galloped of
in opposite directions today as
they warmed up for an elec-
tion-year battle.
Agriculture Secretary Ben
son put in another plug for
more reliance on free mar
kets," less on Government sub
sides and controls.
Senator Proxmire. Democrat
of Wisconsin, launched q pro-
gram calling for increased
Government payments TO
farmers and frightened curbs
on production.
The two proposals pretty well
delineate the extreme positions
Congress will debate in the
new session. Some observers
predict a stand-off. with no
major new farm law. while
others expect Congress TO patch
together some sort Of COM
promise. Neither side seems
strong enough to win nearly
all II demands.
Mr.. Benson's program would
permit the Agriculture Depart
ment to cut price supports
deeper than the law now al
lows, and would relax controls
on crop production. He argues
that's the way TO balance sup
ply and demand at prosperous
levels. High price supports. he
contends, pile up surpluses and
hamper modernization Of agri-
culture.

Vice President Nixon's other
official visit TO Wilmington came
in 1854 when he addressed a lunch
con meeting in the Gold Ballroom
of the Hotel DUPONT.
His visit this time will be of ex-
ira interest to Delaware Republican
leaders. First, they want his pep
and elocution to help them win
the election in which the U. S.
Senate seat held by John ]. VIII
lisr1s, of Millsboro, is the prize.
Second, Nixon will be measured
more than ever now as a successor
to President Eisenhower. Among
his supporters, for instance, for
the presidential nomination In
1880 are a number of Delaware Re-
publicans. Senator Williams, with
out announcing commitment, has
spoken very well of Mr.. Nixon as a
presidential nominee
In addition to his official visits
here Mr.. Nixon has been a guest
of Senator Williams at the Sena-
tors summer house on the dunes
