Wheat Bills Scored By Secretary Benson

WASHINGTON (UPD—Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson says no legislation at all would be better than passage of wheat bills now before Congress. Benson told a news conference late Thursday the bills were "not good legisiaticn." ■He referred to a House bill which would provide higher price supports for farmers who redupe • wheat acreage and a Senate measure to reduce planting allotments and leave supports unchanged. Benson favors sharply reduced price supports to cut production, followed by an eventual end to all government control on wheat. The United States now has enough surplus wheat on hand and in sight to fill domestic and foreign needs for years. WASHINGTON (UPD — Rep. Clark W. Thompson (D-Tex.) announced today a congressional subcommittee will hold public hearings May 6 and 7 on legislation to create a commission on country life. The family farms subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee es which Thompson is chairman, will hold the hearings. The commission would conduct studies and develop guides as the basis for improved country living. ~V“ WASHINGTON (UPD — The Agriculture Department said today about half the total acreage retired from Crop production under the conservation reserve of the soil bank is in the form of whole farms. , The conservation reserve acre-i age now totals about 23 million; acres. About 10 per cent of the, total acreage retired, or 2,300,000 acres, represent basic crop acreage allotments. Since the average soil bank contract covers a period of five to six years, the “whole farm landi put into the conservation reserve will not be producing crops for I that length of time. This includes! both the allotment land and land customarily devoted to other; crops. Department officials said this should help in holding down sur-l pluses and _j|lso should reduce price support expenditures.

WASHINGTON (UPD — Sens. Jacob K. Javits (R-N.Y.) and Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) have introduced legislation to require registration of crew leaders who deal with the nation’s estimated 850,000 migratory farm workers. The senators said in a joint statement Thursday that registration is‘ needed because many farm workers suffer abuses at the hands of unscrupulous crew leaders.

Fair, Mild Weather Over Much QLU.S. United Press International A rare day in spring—mostly ( fair and mild —prevailed across ‘ much of the cation todav.

Little Rock School Withdrawal Okayed CHICAGO (UPD — The North Central Assn, took final action today to approve voluntary withdrawal from the NCA of three Little Rock, Ark-, high schools closed in the struggle there over integration of schools. The NCA disclosed that the comrriissionon... secondary schools already has .approved the step. Technically, the action did not become final until the executive committee had approved it and the association voted as a whole today. But once past the commission hurdle, subsequent proceedings were only a formality. The only alternative to voluntary withdrawal would be expulsion from the Organization, an NCA spokesman said. The move would hit at college plans of Little Rock high school students, since most colleges refuse to admit graduates of nonNCA - accredited high schools without examinations. The three schools—Central, Hall and Horace Mann — were padlocked by Gov. Orval Faubus last Sept. 12 when the Supreme Court ordered integration at Central High. William R. Ross, president of Colorado State College, was elected NCA president today. Another Coloradan, Stephen A. Romine, director of the college of education at the University of Colorado, was , named vice president. Elmer Ellis, president of the University of Missouri, was reelected to a four-year term on the executive committee. NCA admitted 77 new high schools and 16 colleges and universities to membership, swelling the organization to 3,527 high schools and 416 institutions of higher learning.
