A bitter struggle over farm policy tests President Eisenhower's pledge for a new program. Ezra Taft Benson leads calls to revise high price supports for wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, rice, and peanuts. Opponents defend proven supports, arguing they ensure farmer income and consumer welfare amid surpluses, rising costs, and inflation. Congress faces a decision next year as plans shift from broad aims to concrete recommendations.
