Eisenhower vetoes farm price supports freeze bill
President Eisenhower vetoed a bill to freeze price supports and acreage allotments at 1957 levels. The measure, backed by farm state lawmakers, would have blocked cuts ordered by Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson and reversed 1958 and 1959 adjustments for several commodities. The veto cited risk of market stagnation, warehouse buildup, and unfair treatment of small operators, while urging Congress to back his five point program to expand markets and improve farm prosperity.
