For Farm Hin
Irving Perluss, state employment. directer, predicted this
year’s farm labor needs will be
met by his ae with
success. 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.
Aiken quoted Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson as
taking that stand yesterday when
Benson met with six members of
the senate agriculture committee:
Aiken is the committee’s senior
GOP member.
Aiken said Benson’s view is
that administration proposals on
farm surpluses recommended last
year, but rejected by congress,
still stand. rt
SD., said after the unannounced
meeting that “there was no meet,
ing of minds’.’
The house agriculture ‘committee has invited Benson to appear
next Thursday to present farm
legistration proposals.
Chairman Harold D. Cooley €D)
of NC., said he hopes Benson will

farmer years that farm prices be

lution to.the wheat surplus problem. His bill. was taken largely
from a senate-house compromise
farm bill which President Dwight
D. Eisenhower vetoed last year.
The Measure proposes to link
a graduated reduction in wheat
price supports with a cutback of
up to 25 per cent in planting
allotments. It alse would tighten
present penalties for over production.
Eisenhower, in his state of the
Union Message Thursday, referred to farm over. production and
surpluses. He blamed them on
old farm laws and called for a
program that would give farmers greater freedom to make production plans.
The president may spell out his
farm recommendations more fully
in his budget message to congress
on January 18th when he outlines
the estimated costs. of various
farm programs.
The house agriculture committee expects to be busy most of
next week on a hearing on an
agriculture department proposal
to suspend for a year federal
grading of lamb and mutton because of industry differences on
grading standards.
Advocates of grading had appealed to the commfftee for a
hearing on the matter, hoping to
win congressional support for
continuance of the service.
Most persons interested in the
grading service predict a solution
will be found and the department
will withdraw its suspension or~ COLDS”

Warne said he has not -had a
request from cattlemen, to declare
any area a disaster area but he
has heard ‘indirectly that a serious
situation exists in some areas,
specifically in Tehama County.
“There has been some indieation from livestock men,”
Warne said, “specifically, Tehama
County, that they have-a serious
situation, feedwise.
“T have asked my department
to make a study of the feed
situation so'‘that we might know
the facts should anything develop.”
It has been rumored that the
livestock raisers, whose grazing
lands. were hit seriously by -the
lack of rain during the past year
and early freezes this. winter,
would ask for the disaster declaration.
If requested, Warne would ask .
Governor Edmund G. Brown to’
