Farm policy fight shifts to Congress with Benson testify
Washington AP says a Republican bid to shift the farm problem to Democratic Congress hinges on Secretary Ezra Taft Benson. Benson will testify February 18 to House Agriculture Committee after Eisenhower endorses any constructive solution but warns Congress must act. Republican leaders fear Benson may challenge the president’s stance, while Democrats may use inaction as election leverage. Humphrey notes Eisenhower’s proposals mark a shift from earlier low price, no control policy.
