The West demands a strong, independent agency with wide inspection powers before any disarmament steps, while Russia favors vague, limited oversight, calling the proposed controls mere formalities and unlikely to assure security. The rift could derail progress even if other points are resolved.

Wheat quotas urged as grower vote set for June 25
Secretary Benson urged rigid marketing quotas for the 1956 wheat crop and announced a referendum of growers on June 25 to approve or reject. Quotas would limit plantings to 55 million acres, the legal minimum, matching this year’s level. Approval requires two thirds of voters. last year it passed 73.3 percent. Benson noted a rising surplus and said domestic and export needs will be met for two years, with a ~1 billion bushel inventory costing over $2 billion and a yearly storage bill of $150 million. Eight senators urged farmers to vote yes to secure price supports for 1956.
