Mr. Eisenhower said at his weekly news conference that he is confident now the greater part of his program will be approved by congress this summer and will be approved by the voters when they go to the polls in November. He illustrated the ,success which he said his legislative proposals are meeting by singing out last week’s congressional action on the tax and farm bills. He eaid he does not regard the farm hill as passed by the house as a compromise, out as a sweeping victory for the administration. He said that he had proposed the farm program of flexible supports, gradually applied, and that he never intended going below 80 percent of parity in the first year anyway. The house bill calls for supports ranging between 82 and one-half and 99 percent of parity. The President said that he would certainly be guilty of misrepresentation if he said that all the world was rosy and all the rosea were gilded. But be said that looking at the overall picture on progress of his program, it all adds up to a pretty good record. ventral Thick Batter To control and properly direct the flow at thick batter such as for waffles and muffins, pour from a pitcher with a wen greased spout L JJ- * Banded ta War Ftftesu hundred American terrteamen lost their sight during World War 11.
