Benson Opposes Wheat Bill Raising Price Supports
Washington, Feb. 15. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson reiterated opposition to any new wheat bill that would raise price supports above current levels. He favors legislation removing subsidies and lowering guarantees to discourage inefficient producers and expand markets. Benson, in a taped TV radio interview, aligned with Eisenhower’s preference for effective controls over free-market measures. He noted the danger of higher supports increasing domestic prices and export subsidies. The stance echoes his past warnings against extending exemptions and supports President Eisenhower’s call for a control bill with real effectiveness.
