precious enjoyment of life by rob

Especially during the long winter

then finds us feeling tired, life-

If you are one of these unfortun
ates, don’t sit and worry about
your condition — simply take a
tablespoonful of Scalfs Indian Riv

each meal—see for yourself how

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,

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.
