J Perluss said last year’s major shakeup of the farm placement service has eliminated abuses and put the service on firm footing. He toured the state, talking with all placement officers, and found “no instances where anyone is not doing a good job.” Perluss commented that for the first time his office has direct control of all operations of the placement service. “We have a direct line right down to the local placement officers in the field,’.Perluss stated. “We’ve never had such tight control. We’ll know instantly when a serious problem arises.,, The farm placement was shaken up by. Perluss’ predecessor John E. Carr, now state finance director, which brought about firing of top farm placement officials in Southern @alifernia and the. demotion of the placement chief, Edward Hayés. Perluss later reprimanded 12 placement’ officers for accepting gifts from °farmers:-whoe«-receive Mexican nationals. through the placement service. t Complaints from farmers and laborers have been reduced since the shakeup, Perluss said. He interprets this to reflect the more _ efficient. operation. He said the real test will not come until the peak farm labor needs next summer for harvesting major crops. He said meetings with each farmer who uses Mexican nationals are being held to explain the: regulations governing their use, Under law, imported labor is not to be used until all available domestic workers have been offered. jobs.

Benson Plans No New Proposals On Farm Surplus Senator George D: Aiken (R) of VT., says the Eisenhower. administration has no plans to send congress any new proposals on wheat or other major farm surplus problems.
