Senator Ellender charged the administration is offering bait to win support for farm price measures. He cited two moves: possible aid to prevent cotton acreage cuts and an early pledge that 1956 cotton prices will be supported near 87 percent of parity. Eastland said the 1957 1958 allotments may be set to 11 391 304 acres to avoid larger cuts, with Benson’s policy aiming at about 87 percent of parity.
