Benson to Stay On Job Despite Critics
Secretary of Agriculture Benson announced he will remain in his post to press farm policy reforms amid political criticism. In a wide ranging news conference he rejected resigning, defended his plan to widen price support authority and raise planting allotments if allowed to lower price guarantees, and said regional farmers support his farm views. A separate notice from Douglas County Sheriff’s Office issued a countywide missing persons alert for 14 year old Tommy Farmer of Overbrook who ran away Saturday afternoon and has not been seen since, described as small with brown hair and eyes, wearing blue jeans and a plaid shirt.
