Senator Williams Claims
Easing Of Rigid Con-
trolls Led To Recent Up
ward Trend.

Farm prices are the one bright
spot in an otherwise gloomy ma
tional economic picture, thanks
mainly to the relaxing of rigid
controls, according to Sen. John
J. Williams (ReDel).
Williams said in a statement that
farmers prices, which had slump
ed in the past years, have returned
to January, 1853, levels.
At the same time, he said, farm
ers expenses have Ieveled off, so
that farmers are in a better posi-
lion to increase what might be call
ed their keep home pay"
1t is significant" he added.
that this improvement in agricu1-
ture prices comes at a time when
high supports and rigid controls
over agriculture are being relaxed. .
Endorsing the view of AgricuI-
ture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson,
he asserted that the index of farm
prices shot too high during the
Korean War, climbing so points
on the scale that compares current
prices with 1904 base period. .
Williams said, the pendulum
went too far, as is almost always
the case in times of emergency .
Prices began tumbling again after
the Korean War, even though rigid
price supports remained in effect
through June of 1855.
He noted that prices have been
trending upward ever since 1856
he added: This trend ran counter
to predictions by adherents of rigid
supports that their partial aband-
onment would lead to a collapse
in farm prices"

Ancient Farm
Traces Found

JERUSALEM (JTA)-The discov-
cry of evidence of a system OF
Jewish agriculture in the central
and southern Negev as long as
5000 years ago was announced
here. Some of the finds were To-
Gated 20 miles south of Beersheba.
Previously it had been believed
that the Nabateans, dating back
some $500 years, were the oldest
people to have farmed what is now
desert region. Professor Eve
mari believes that the Nabatean
cities discovered in the Negev were
actually built on the ruins of older
Jewish settlements. His theory
contradicts that of another famous
Negev explorer, Professor Nelson
Glueck, president of Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Reli-
gion in Cincinnati and archaeolo-
gist, who laid open many Biblical
secrets in Palestine in the past
few decades.
The Hebrew University team dis
