Secretary of Agriculture Benson again opposes a farm freeze despite a House Agriculture Committee proposal that limits the freeze to one year and preserves 1957 price supports and current acreage figures. Benson warns of a veto and says the policy would harm markets and raise costs, though House leadership hopes to advance the measure to a floor vote.

Free wheat means supplies outside the government price support program.

Supplies can be released only at prices above support rates.
