Fight To Save Funds For Research Plan
Washington The Eisenhower administration will fight to preserve budget recommendations for industrial research using surplus farm products Secretary Benson told Newspaper Farm Editors that House Appropriations cuts of 12 million dollars are unacceptable. The House starts debate today as Benson and aides lobby Congress to protect the research item. The commission urged a 100 million dollar yearly program, arguing industrial uses for agriculture offer better prospects than exports. The administration also seeks to block cuts to the soil bank land retirement program, though evidence suggests little impact on surplus crops. Nathan M. Koffsky warns farm income may stay near current levels until surplus cotton, corn, and wheat are disposed of, with soil bank and foreign disposal programs relied upon to shrink supplies.
