Keep Benson,
Aiken Urges
By the Associated Press

Senator Aiken, Republican Of
Vermont. said yesterday that
one of the worst political mis-
takes the Eisenhower admins
tration could make right now
would be to let Secretary OF
Agriculture Benson go.
With many farm belt Repub-
licans and Democrats demand
ing Mr.. Benson's scalp, Senator
Aiken said:
We've never had a Secretary
of Agriculture so popular with
the professors, dealers and ham
dlers of farm products. And /
better add consumers and
housewives to his list"
At the same time, Senator
Aiken, senior Republican on the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
reiterated his opposition to Mr.
Benson's April / plan Of cutting
Government price supports on
dairv products.
"He makes it very difficult
for some of us to support him
even when he's right" Senator
Aiken commented in an inter-
view
Senator Aiken, who helped
put the administrators f1exi-

surprised many by voting with
a majority Of the agriculture
committee last week for several
bills that would freeze this
years price support and acre
age controls at last years levels.
These measures, including a
separate freeze on milk, butter
and other dairy supports, are
scheduled for Senate action
this week.

have appealed 10 president
Eisenhower to dump Mr.. Ben.

voting. Eisenhower has turned

Party" Senator Aiken said. He
added:
There are many more people

Single led the Bluffton attack.
