Eisenhower vetoes bid to freeze farm price supports
President Eisenhower vetoed a bill to freeze farm price supports and acreage allotments at last year's levels, blocking cuts ordered by Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson. Supporters lack votes to override, as two thirds in both houses are required to defeat the veto. The measure would have kept 19 1/2 percent price supports and 1959 planting allotments at 1957 levels, reversing nine commodity cuts including dairy.

Gromyko proposes global ban on atomic tests in Soviet plan
Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko urged the Supreme Soviet to back a unilateral halt on all nuclear tests as Moscow pushes for a ban. The proposal follows Russia’s Siberian tests and precedes anticipated U.S. testing at Eniwetok. The plan links to broader disarmament debates and risks prompting U.S. reconsideration of arms programs. Last night the Kremlin announced a cabinet reshuffle with Bulganin elevated to president of the state bank and Rostov becoming first deputy premier.
