Helps little: Be'nson W SHINGTO ( P) - Tile Ei~enhowcr administration's new farm program got off to a stormy start in Congr ss Friday when Secrfhary of Agriculture E~ra Taft benson went before a Senate committee to back ilup. The bespectacled, dignified Benson ran into a barrage of hostile comments by Chairman Allen Ellender ( D-La.) and other critics on the enate griculture Committee. " Inaccurate," was the way Sell. Ellend c described some Slate ments in Benson's 24-page script. "The Federal Trade Commis ion would rule it out as false ad- vertising," said Sen. Hubert Humphrey <D-Minn .) of one portion. I "There is nothing false abbut it." Benson retorted. Benson sought to mollify farm slate critics at one point by saying he might never cut price supports al1 the way down to tiO per cent of parity even if Congress grllntcd his request for authority to go thAt I low. " Maybe we')] not nccd to go that loW:' Benson said. The administralion'~ request for authority to set price supports on basic crops and dairy products betw (;n GO and 90 per cenl oC parity is one of the most control! rsial items in the 14-point farm program submitted by President Eiscnhoy,er. The prescnt minimum is 75 per cent oC parity. I J Parity is a standard Cor computing farm prices declared by law I to be fair to farmers in relation to their costs. IN HIS PREPARED STATEMeNT, Benson said the legislation sought should have been provided at \he nd or the war. He said farm­ ers would be better off Loday if It had b en. Ill' described the pres nt 75-90 per cent range as "too narrow Lo permit the expansion of markets needed to absorb the increased production which our [arms will likely produce." "Tho shortcomings oC our past programs arc quite clcar," Benson said. " We have tried to legislate prices artificially, without full con­ sideration for the inevitable forces oC supply nnd demand. "W have tried to control production artificially. without full con­ sideration for Ule efficiency and ingenuity of farmers." All this lias failed. he said. In addition to lower price upport authority, the administration pro­ gram calls for an easing of production controls. BENSON TOLD THE SENATE COMMITTEE Ulat 25 years of ex­ perience has "proved you can't control prices by controlling production of crops." He said those under controls were in the worst shape. "I don't want to go down toward the socialization of agriculture:' he said. At one point Benson appeared to be appealing to the farmers themselves. He said, ''In the final analysis, farmers will have to make up their minds which way they want to go." "They will decide," he said, "whether they want more freedom - more flexibility, more right of individual d<!Cision, more opportunity to make sound adjustments in line with th ir great efficiency, or whether they prefer more and more regimentAtion - more and more restrictive controls." _ "FARMERS ARE INDEPENDENT, intelligent people and r am confident that they will make the right decisions when all the facts are available to them," he said. During \.he reading of his statement Benson was interrupted so frequently thal Sen. Spessard Holland (V-Fla.) suggested he be given a chance to finish. "Let's nol impose on all of the rules of a fair hearing," Holland said. Ellender said he had been in the Senate 21 years and no one ever na", Iowan t'boto by Bilb SL:awn had accused him oC being unfair.
