Fight Looms Over Bid of Andreas Firm
Administration approval of the sale of surplus butter and cottonseed oil to Russia would provoke congressional opposition led by Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Dwayne Andreas of Honeymead Products proposed the plan, involving 100000 tons of butter and cottonseed oil and as much as 185000000 dollars. He earlier ran Cedar Rapids operations before joining Cargill, and then founded Honeymead.

Gordon Says No To Low Butter Sale To Russia
Washington insiders report Commodity Credit Corp President Howard H. Gordon stated the government cannot sell butter to Russia under a proposed trade agreement for less than 50 cents a pound. He noted CCC holds about two and a half billion dollars in farm surpluses and must price to reflect charges to other nations. The U S has offered cottonseed oil abroad at 12 1/2 cents per pound and butter at 50 cents.

Butter surplus fuels U.S. export debate with Soviet bloc
The government holds about 300 million pounds of butter unsold and faces a loss if sold below the 65 cent support price. Andreas, identified as the exporter, said he reported the inquiry to U.S. officials and sought an export license to ship butter and oil to the Soviet bloc. Some congressmen, including McCarthy, oppose the plan, urging domestic feeding first and suggesting alternative ways to handle the surplus. Secretary Weeks notes current policy allows non-strategic exports to the USSR with final decisions by the President.

Eisenhower proposes changes to Social Security earnings test
President Ike urges that retired beneficiaries avoid penalties by easing the earnings rule. He calls for exempting the first 1000 dollars of annual earnings and deducting benefits at 1 month for every 80 dollars earned above that. Under current law the first 900 dollars are exempt. He cites examples showing greater useful work without losing benefits.
