THE ground swell Of opposition to the
maneuverings Of the Y. 5. Supreme
Court is increasing. Evidence OF TINS IS a
strong series of editorials by the Indiana
polls Star, in Indiana which are being clr-
culated around the country.
The cardinal principle and foundation
belief of the indianapolis Star (and many
other editors and jurists) is that:
/ The Supreme Court does not have
power to make the supreme law OF
the land" Moreover, it does not be-
lieve that the Supreme law is what

Benson's Plans

CECRETARY Of Agriculture Ezra Ben
y son. with the support Of President
Dwight D. Eisenhower, is ready to propose
to Congress that they give him additional
authority in furtherance Of his flexible
price supports program and his general
farm philosophy.
Benson is reported ready to ask Congress
to change the price support Law 50 that ne
will be able to lower the present price sup
port floors Of the five basic crops wheat,
corn. cotton, rice, and peanuts). The cur
rent floor is 49,.
Mr. Benson hopes to eliminate the "auto-
matte esculator" requirement that makes il
mandatory for him to raise supports when
SURPRISES are reduced
Mr.. Benson also wants to reduce the sup
port price floor for dairy products, as with
the five basic farm products He would
eliminate acreage controls on trial crop,
in experiment aimed at freeing farmers
from all controls
Another proposal is that the acreage re-
serve part of the present soil bank program
be eliminated. under which farmers Of the
basic crops are paid for retiring their land
hand, he would pay some farmers for put
ting whole farms into trees. grass, legumes,
or other water and soil-saving practices.
This is being tried on an experimental
basis in four States, although Benson be
lieyes the program should be extended.
Benson is asking that the 1854 Trade and
Agricultural Development Act be increased
bv 81 5000, 100000 for the disposal Of farm
surpluses abroad.
I Insofar as individual programs are con-
cerned, it seems that the Secretary is ready
to recommend measures that will keep the
corn crop in the Middle West, favor the new
cotton States, and probably lower prices
farmers are to receive in many areas, in
Guiding those by growers Of the basic crops
dairy products, etc.
