Farm Legislation To ! Congress Thursday WASHINGTON (UPD — President Kennedy told the National Farmers Union today he will ask Congress for legislation to carry out his campaign promise to help farmers achieve an equal income status with city dwellers. Kennedy, in a letter to the farm organization’s national convention here, added that his administration would need the group’s support “in our continuing effort to help the farmer achieve parity of income.” The President’s bid for new long range farm legislation was scheduled to go to Congress in a special message Thursday. It was expected to include suggestions for cutting corn and wheat surpluses and boosting farm income. Kennedy praised the farm organization for its service to farmers. The President said he would look to the Farmers Union for “counsel” and for focal leadership in making government farm programs successful. “If we are to make food a weapon f< peace, ’ Kennedy added, it will be forged by the willingness of the American farmer and shaped by the desire of the American people.” There was little doubt that most of Kennedy’s farm plans would command the backing of the Farmers Union. The Farmers Union delegates Tuesday approved a number of policy resolutions calling for tighter controls on surplus farm crops, the use of "Brannan Plan” direct payments to farmers on some commodities, farm production geared to meet both commercial and relief needs, and the traditional farmers union goal of “parity of income” under which farm labor and investment would earn the same returns those resources would produce in nonfarm enterprises.
