Alesch Urges Vote Against Benson Control in Corn Ballot
Gustave Alesch appeals to voters December 1 to choose between Ezra Taft Benson’s exclusive control over corn allotments and price supports or let Congress set the policy. He details ballot options, warns that top square grants Secretary of Agriculture final say for 1958 and 1959, while bottom square allows Congress to act on the coin program. The speaker frames the choice as trust in Benson versus Congress and notes growing support for congressional action.
