Two More Dems Support Johnson For Presidency
Washington reports two more Democratic senators endorsed Lyndon B. Johnson as a presidential possibility though Senate leaders say he is not seeking the nomination. Alan Bible of Nevada and Russell Long of Louisiana would back Johnson if Texas makes him a favorite son at the Democratic convention, with Johnson noting he would join if Texas asks. Johnson has recovered from a prior heart attack and says he is not running, but would decide quickly if Texas pushes for a favorite son bid. Other southern senators have voiced support, while Mike Mansfield of Montana and J Allen Frear Jr. of Delaware have praised Johnson but not committed.

Two-Price Plan For Wheat Gains Senate Support
Eight farm belt senators say a two-price wheat plan has a good chance of Senate approval. The amendment to the farm bill would create a 1.1 billion soil bank and guarantee domestic human consumption wheat at parity, with export wheat sold at market price and government subsidies covering the difference. A referendum would decide for next year’s crop amid signs of limited administration opposition, though Ezra Benson previously opposed it. Senate actions also set ceilings on soil bank payments and price support loans, while rejecting a 90 percent support proposal for high loaned crops.

Tax Bill Called Up By House
The House moved to enact a bill requested by President Eisenhower to extend current taxes on corporations and consumer items such as beer whisky and cigarets for one year. It would postpone the April 1 tax reductions, keeping the rate at 52 percent for corporations and delaying revenue loss of about 3.2 billion dollars yearly. The measure aims to prevent budget imbalance while blocking amendments and ensuring passage by a two-thirds vote.
