Nixon Delays Farm Plan Till Fall Campaign
Vice President Richard M. Nixon will wait for the fall campaign to lay out a detailed Republican farm program. He will likely reflect study findings in general party principles at the Chicago nominating convention and avoid stirring GOP differences over Ezra Benson’s plan before his nomination. Nixon plans to oppose Benson only if Congress stalls, potentially crafting a program for the 1961 session, with a June 2 Williston speech likely to raise Benson questions during a North Dakota visit. He backs Gov. John E. Davis against Quentin N. Burdick, while Nelson Rockefeller may press his own farm-policy contrasts in North Dakota campaigning.
