I This showdown is likely to come when Senator McCarthy turns all j his guns on Secretary of State John j i Foster Dulles. Because McCarthy ! is reported to have stated we’re going to get Dulles’ head. In other words, after having made a repu- ! tation with the attacks upon Dean I Acheson, he is prepared to go for ward with attacks upon Mr. Dulles, j It is impossible to believe Presi dent Eisenhower will sit on the sildeilnes during such an attack, j He is a man of great determina tion once his mind is made up and in the resulting explosion someone is going to get hurt: Mr. Dulles, the President, Mr. McCarthy, one and all, to say nothing of the Re publican party and the nation, * t * Farm prices are still much in the i news. And they are likely to bej ! for considerable time to come. The i ; man ■who must solve farm prob- j ! lems is Agriculture Secretary Ezra J j Taft Benson. As Congressional Quarterly! Lpoints out, Mr. Benson, who got a | salty taste of political. storms dur- | ing his first month in office, has extensive administrative powers at his command and already has used some of them in past crises. Benson reported March 7 that he had checked a two-year decline in cattle prices without using gov ernment financial aid. He said he turned the trick by working to end price ceilings, increase beef con sumption and encourage more or derly cattle marketing. February 27, dealing with sag ging butter prices, he took a dif ferent tack, and announced he would continue for another year the government program of buying butter at 90 per cent of parity. TTie Agriculture Act of 1949 and related statutes give the Agricul ture Secretary broad authority to keep up farm prices. In part the actions he can take are required by law. But the statutes leave many to his discretion. He is required to support the prices of certain commodities—the six “basics,” which are com, cot ton, wheat, rice, peanuts, and to bacco, and these “designated non basics”: w’ool and mohair, tung nuts, honey, milk, butterfat, and milk and butterfat products. At present the required price support level for the “basics” is 90 per cent of parity. The support level of the designated “non-bas ics” may vary within a prescribed range, set by law at 60 to 90 per cent, at the discretion of the Agri culture Scretary.
