An insurance agent and hospital plan representative for Bankers Life and Casualty Co., Smith said he has decided to devote full-time to. his insurance work. Smith said that his decision to resign his deputy duties had noth ing to do with current criticism of the system under which he was employed (the drive-in man agement paid him to keep the pre mises under surveillance on Sat urdays and Sundays. In an article published a few dais ago, the Daily Record quest ioned whether it was good policj to have law officers responsible to private persons for their pay. There was no criticism of Smith himself and it was recounted that although he is eligible for tiny fees, taken out of court costs, he had so far cost the town but a single dollar in that respect. “It actually cost me money to work there,” said Smith,“so I’ve decided not to do it.

There were two condensers. Favors Scrapping Parity Formula Now Being Used WASHINGTON OJPI) — Presi jent Eisenhower urged Congress today to abandon “excessively ex pensive” farm price supports con ceived in depression and war, and adopt a new program keyed to prosperity and peace. The heart of Eisenhower’s new program was abandonment of price supports based on a parity { formula dating back to 1910-14 in favor of new federal supports tied to average market prices of im mediate preceding years. The President’s proposal ap plied to the six basic crops now covered in the mandatory support program — wheat, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice and tobacco. Eisenhower recommended that the secretary of agriculture be given flexible authority to scale new price supports between 75 and 90 per cent of the average market prices of a supported com modity during the immediate preceding years. The President did not spell out this time period in his message. But it apparently would apply to the previous three years because this is the time element specified in the new corn program which begins this year. Concern Over Surplus Underlying Eisenhower’s pro posal was his deep concern over the mounting surplus of farm commodities purchased by the government under tj»e current support program. * '•>*. He stressed in his 1.500 - word message to House and Senate that revolutionary progress made in farm production over the last 50 years make changes in the gov ernment program essential. The President also announced a new, but undefined, program of surplus disposal overseas which he said would amount to “using food for peace”. He said he is putting into motion and explorato ry plan for cooperating with other friendly nations in getting the greatest possible use of farm sur pluses in each. His proposal was certain to run into stiff opposition in Congress, however. The big Democratic ma jority has resisted administration efforts to lower farm price sup ports. Eisenhower said that by the start of the new fiscal year next July 1. the government would hold more than nine billion dol lars in crop surpluses. He said the stock of government wheat was so large that if America failed to harvest one bushel this year, the surplus supply was more than esough for domestic use, ex port sales, foreign donation and needed carry over for an entire year.
