Senator Scott/^3l
from WASHINGTOH^U
A mean fight is beginning to
brew in Washington over the
future of our various farm pro
grams,
TWo important developments
took place last week that give>
some indication of what is tak
ing place that will have far
reaching effect on agricultural
economy.
On Wednesday Secretary of
Agriculture -Benson told the
Senate Agriculture Committee
that more flexibility ought to
be put in the price support pro
grams. *1- am -sure it was coin
cidence, feut on the same day—
almost the same hour the
House voted to end the Soil
Bank after this crop year.
- Both events will have pro
nounced effects on farmers—
but more important, they re
flect a deep split that has been
developing among farm interests
for some time.
There is no doubt that the
Soil Bank was killed because
of the poor and inefficient man
ner in which it was administer
ed. It was supposed to be a
program for all basic crops, but
it turned out to be a corn and |
grain program. Very large per-1
centages of the total funds I
were shuttled into the mid
western grain states. Very low
and unfair rates of payments
were devised for cotton and to
bacco wHich made it impractic- j
al for most southern farmers. (
The manner in which this!
program was administered J
brought ill feeling—and rightly
so— among southern farmers.
The result was defeat when
tjie bill came up for a vote in
the House because the normal
farm Vote strength was badly j
split.
The comments of the Secre
tary will certainly bring about j
wider splits in the farm states
4f he is successful in putting his I
ideas hitojogislation.

committee that all price sup
ports are bad and that they
should be eliminated on a grad
ual basis.
He even included tobacco,
which gives strong indication
that he will present a bill to
Congress next year that will
greatly reduce the price sup
port levelg on all commodities.
If this docs happen, it could
mean the ruin of all the price
support programs.
With the atmosphere as it is,
4t seems the time has come
when it is imperative for farm
ers to put up a united front to
save the entire price ' support
program.
In order to do this, I strongly
feel that farmers should thrash
out their problems immediate
ly, discuss all possible solutions
and come up with positive pro
posals to offset the program of
still lower price supports that
Secretary Benson is certain to
push for the next crop year.

Here Are some additional religi
ous news items that,will be of in
terest to readers of this column
An American Negro minister has
| just finished a sensational tour of
I West Africa. The Rev. Howard O.
i Jones, pastor of Smoot Memorial
J Baptist Church, Cleveland, spoke to
overflow crowds during a four
month preaching mission in Niger
ia, ahd averaged one-hundred decis
ions for Christ nightly. One young
woman, a clerk in a Lagos depart
| ment store, was saved through
j reading Jones’ testimony in a mag
i azine. During the crusade Jones
| led her fiance to Christ. The
young lady brought thirty-five of
her fellow-workers to a woman’s
meeting led by Jones’ wife. Jones
I regards his reception as a strong
indication thit eventually American
Negro Christian* will have the op
portunity' to advance the cause of
Christ by going forth as mission
aries to Africa.
HLKX, a Christian radio station
in Inchon, Korea, is now beaming
its full 20,000 watt power behind
the Iron Curtain. Dedicated March
9, it is-estimated that the station
is able to send the Gospel message
at least 750 miles into eastern
China, and •to reach all of North
and South Korea. Other Christian
radio stations are WMBI, Chicago,
owned and operated by Moody Bi
ble Institute, and H'CJB, Ecuador.
The Sunday Telegram, Canada’s
first Sunday newspaper, was pub
lished March 19 in defiance of the
Dominion’s Lord Day Act. Nearly
all denominations protested. On
tario’s attorney general is believed
to be gathering evidence for a
court test of the Lord’s Day Act.
If present plans go through, Ital
ians will be able to listen to a
nightly Gospel radio program soon.
Missionaries conferring in Roms
and Naples O. K.’d a national-pro
duced program to be aired by “The
Voice of Tangiers.” At present
Italians have only one fifteen-min
ute evangelical radio program a
week: A 7 A. M., broadcast on
Sunday morning.
Attendance at British Sunday
Schools is Slipping badly. The Lon
don Times repotted recently that
in 1956 enrollment decreased to 1,-
533,000. There were 3,302,000 Sun

trade to defeat the campaign—on
the verge of succes—to make sub
stantial cuts in the budget.
They claim that government ser
vices will be crippled. But econo
my-bloc leaders say all budget pro
posals are padded.
Another trick of the big spend
ers is to promote defeatism—they
say any cuts in appropriation bills
will be “phony”—mere paper sav
ings—which must be made up la
ter.
But leaders in the economy fight
reject such a defeatist attitude.
They insist that while some sav
ings now. claimed may be wiped out
later, real cuts in the budget are
being made—and wall continue to
be made in the future.
How Big Will Cuts Be?—As the
Senate began a crucial period of ac
tion on appropriation bills, these
predictions were made:
1. Sen. Bridges (R-N.H.), Senate
Appropriations Committee leader,
foresaw a cut of more than $3 bil
lion under budget recommendations.
2. Speaker Rayburn thinks thej
House will cut $3 to $5 billion un
der the budget.
Reductions voted by the House
at that time amounted to sl.l bii
. lion, or 7.6 per cent of the total
considered.
Some House Appropriation Com
mittee leaders said the House Avill
cut the Department of Defense bud
get $1.5 billion and will trim s2?<f
■million from the < Department of
Agriculture budget.
Presidential Action Leaders of
the economy bloc were genuinely
concerned over the White House
plan to have President Eisenhower
launch a major effort in defense of
his budget.
Demand for presidential action
came from “modem Republicans”
in Congress, and from departmen
tal heads. Thus far economy-bloc
leaders l.ave been able to quote
past statements of Mr. Eisenhower
inviting Congress to use its judg
ment in reducing appropriations.
The President wil lhave the sup
port of most New-Fair Deal Demo
crats in Congress,
j Political Division—Both Republi
cans and Democrats in Congress
are sharply divided on the economy'
issue.
'Senator Knowland, the Republi
can leader, has advised the White
House that many Republicans will
not support the huge budget. He
himself advocates at least a $3 bil
lion cut.
The “regular” Republicans be
lieve the country is overwhelming
ly for economy—that this must be
made an issue in next year’s Con
gressional campaign. The “yiod
am Republicans” support big
spending plans.
Democratic Attitude—The econo
my issue has cut just as deeply
in Democratic ranks. This was
ecidenced by the meeting of Na
tional Democratic leaders over the

called for huge spending. The con
