May Put Compulsion In Soil Bank Bill
Sen Aiken indicates Eisenhower administration may accept mandatory participation in a new soil bank program to aid farmers. Senator Ate further urges mandatory participation in farm policy while Truman criticizes the plan as too little, too late. The proposal aims to withdraw about 65 million acres from cultivation to reduce production and price depressions, with voluntary retirement payments for cooperators.
