Rationing Extension Promised
The state government re-

from the central government
and by promising to extend ra-

clared that the normal arri-
val Of the late summer rice
crop on the free market had
lowered prices.
From a long list Of demands
about food trading the Com
munists now are insisting only
on the resignation Of the state
food minister. They are also
asking for the release Of per-
sons arrested during the riot

On the last two occasions OF

runs a ration shop system.
West Bengal sells rice at a sub

Communists contended peo-

shops and not enough people
were permitted to use the shops
under a government system
favoring the poor.

Secretary Of Agriculture Ben

Benson told a press conference
yesterday when asked If he
thought the bill would become
law. Even the bills hackers
are practically resigned to a
veto. since the Democratic
measure would raise price sup

"Fiscally Dangerous"
Admitting he was violating
his rule against commenting on
legislation before the President,
Mr. Benson denounced the bill
as "fiscally dangerous" and "a
step backward without any
question" He estimated the
measure would increase Gov
ernment spending on the wheat
program from the current S70C
million annual rate to $500
million.
This bill would bury u,
deeper in the wheat problem,
he said. warning that the pub.
lie is getting fed up with costly
farm programs. He disputed

the bill would curtail excessiv,
production by reducing acre.
age. Any cutback in production
he said, would be negligible
because high price support
would encourage farmers Il

Would Raise Price Prop
The bill passed by the Sen,
ate Monday night would re,
duce the 55-million-acre ma,
tional wheat allotment by 2!
per cent, and would rails,
price supports from rs pei
cent to 30 per cent of parity
Parity is a formula designed
to give farmers a fair" price
Mr.. Benson said he remain,
hopeful that Congress will pas
an acceptable wheat bill aftel
the veto. He wants authorit,
to lower price supports. Mos
observers expect Congress t
leave the existing wheat pro.
gram in effect after the veto
Mr.. Benson dislikes this pro-
gram almost as much as tht
new bill.
Discussing the tobacco bill

measure would be better thar

better" The bill would prevent
