President Eisenhower praised Congress for its farm bill progress and urged a broad price support range. Senate leaders Knowland and Martin said action this month on his program was likely, noting no confrontation over UN membership. The House approved a sliding scale of 82 to 90 percent of parity, a concession to farmers and GOP leadership. The president stressed he would not accept supports below 80 percent in year one.
