Eisenhower on 1952 Minnesota vote and 1956 farm policy
President Eisenhower discussed a revolt over farm policies, criticizing the current farm bill as unworkable and likely to bury farmers in surpluses.

He also outlined plans for Dulles’s Far Eastern briefing and staff travel, while stressing a universal appeal beyond any single group.
