Lower Ag Supports Quick Approval Sought by President Seen in Senate On AF Fund Bill
President Eisenhower urges lower price supports for major farm products in a 14 point progress plan to Congress. He says reforms would boost farmer profits and may lower consumer food costs. The message proposes ending acreage allotments for corn, boosting dairy parity, and expanding the price support oversight agency. Senate action on the emergency Air Force construction bill is expected soon with hearings set for next week.

A congressional committee report accuses US arms aid of wasteful spending often for political reasons. It cites examples including 112 million dollars for machine tools rented to Britain and oil stockpiles at a German base, plus an airbase near a civilian field in Torejon Spain.

GOP Senators Reply To Docking Comment
Two Republican state senators, Don Hults of Lawrence and Howard Immel of Topeka, pushed back after Gov. George Docking criticized lawmakers for representing special interests. Docking, citing potential conflicts of interest, urged voters to defeat them and called for disqualification from affected votes. He touted revenue plans including higher taxes on corporations and big trucks, and praised past governors for limiting executive power. Hults, on Ways and Means, defended KU funding restoration efforts amid party disputes.
