Ike Says High
Farm Supports
Cause Touble
WASHINGTON (W Pres
ident Eisenhower said today
high government price sup
ports are a major cause,
rather than a cure, of the
present economic plight of
farmers.
In his economic report to Con
gress, he denounced “high and rjg
id" price supports In the strongest
terms he has yet used, and ap
pealed for approval of the admin
istration's neW farm program un
der which price supports would be
flexible, ranging from 75 to M per
cent of parity.
Elsenhower said farm price*
have "shown signs of stabilizing”
In recent months after two year*
of decline. He predicted they will
“hold near to their current level*
during 1954” unless there Is an un
expected drop to demand.
But he warned that agriculture,
“which Is beset with more problems
than any other major part of our
economy,” will never achieve lasting
prosperity under present federal
farm laws requiring price supports
of “basic" crops at 90 per cent of
parity.
PRICED OUT OF MARKET
“Both wheat and cotton have
been priced out of important do
mestic markets by high and rigid
prloe supports,” he said. "Tbeae
supports have enoouraged domestic
production beyond foreseeable needs,
and have contributed to an expan
sion of eompetetive foreign produc
tion greater than would otherwise
have occurred. They have resulted
In huge surpluses in government
hands, and have led to the Impos
ition of drastic controls on individ
ual producers. Such undesirable
consequences are Inevitable if paw
sent rigid price support policlea an
continued . . .” ,
CITES INEQUITIES
He'kaid Congress should also
“stud*” the discrimination which
wheat, cotton, poanuts and tobacco,
on which 90 per cent price ' reim
ports are mandatory, and other
crops which are of, increasingly
greater importance to the auiiaft
actual consumption habits. He no
ted that 56 pier cent Os all farm
cdopt, including seme at those
most widely used, received no gov
ernment support.
He said that 33 per cent of the
nation’s farmers, who operate large
commercial farms, “stand to gain
most from priee supports,” while
the 1.500.000 poorest farm families,
earning less than 61,000 in cash in
come a year, ‘‘produce too little for
sale to benefit appreciably from
farm price supports, hodvever high.”

Says Economic §
Dip In Nation
Will End Soon
By DAYTON MOORE
UP Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON fa —Pres
ident Eisenhower predicted
today the current economic
dip will end soon and ex
pressed confidence of a
“prosperity based on peace.”
“Our economy today is highly
prosperous and enjoys great basis
strength," he said to his first eco
nomic report to Congress. “The
minor readjustment underway
since mid-1953 is likely soon to
come to a close, especially If the
recommendations of the adminis
tration are adopted.”
But the President conceded that
economic forecasts can be wrong.
And he pledged that Us adminis
tration will act “promptly and
vigorously” with the full powers jf
the federal government, if neces
sary to prevent a depression.
ASKS HIGHER WAOEB
His generally optimistic report,
which ran 35,000 words, also pro
posed increased unemployment
benefits and a higher mlnlmqffi
wage as new planks to Us propmlr
ts program. t
He suggested that states raise
their payments to the unemployed
so they whu Muni **«t Jftagt Half**
ment benefit payments now aver
age about one-third of wages. Be
also would have the payments tor
all states run for 38 WdSsT
He said that “at the proper time*
he will recommend to Congress
that the present minimum wage of
75 cents per how be Increased to
an unspecified amount and that it
be extended to cover more work
era. • }
Despite the “alight contraction
in business” in the latter half of
last year, the report showed that
new records wow art to industrial
activity, employment and income
payments for 1963 as a whole.
. Farmers, whose Income fell 7.4 per

Elsenhower Attributed the recent

plleup of inventories that occurred
: when production outran sales. He
- also conceded that the admtoistre
: tion’s tight money poßcffid. design
ed to,- stop inflation, might have
! been a little too eneetive.
f He jdded that the nation’s eee
