Files Suit On Benson Against Per-Farm Cap
U.S. District Court was asked by Rep. Henry S. Reuss to bar Secretary Benson from paying more than 3000 dollars to any one farmer under the soil bank acreage reserve program. Reuss argues the Agriculture Department interprets the law to allow 3000 dollars per farm, potentially enabling a producer with three farms to collect 9000 dollars. He filed the suit as his own attorney and claims to have authored an amendment to limit total compensation for 1959 crops.
