Corn price support trimmed by four cents a bushel
Washington reports Secretary Benson cut the corn price support for this year to 1.36 a bushel, down four cents from 1957. The change reflects parity shifts under the flexible support law and applies to a designated 926-county commercial area with compliance tied to allotments. Butter fat and milk supports were also adjusted. President Eisenhower's defense reorganization plan seeks to strengthen the defense secretary and Joint Chiefs authority, with Congress to set military appropriations and empower transfer authority.
