Price Supports on Cattle Asked of President
AMARILLO TEX as President Eisenhower on his drought disaster visit moved spokesmen for cattlemen urging immediate federal price supports. About 500 embattled Western attackmen met near Dinhart to press for action. Washington officials said the Agriculture Department will not institute livestock price supports, despite a House approval of emergency loans. Arkansas congressmen urged Benson to speed drought relief, but he reiterated opposition to livestock price supports while noting a possible area expansion for drought aid. The department’s plan would buy cattle, supply feed at half price, and extend credit relief.
