...message hit the Capitol, farm bloc regulars hit the chandeliers, turned sober discussion of issues into noisy attack on Ezra Benson. North Carolina's Harold Cooley, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, cried that Eisenhower wanted to give Benson a "blueprint for bankruptcy." Louisiana's Allen Ellender, chairman of the Senate committee, said Benson would become a "czar," promptly summoned him to a committee inquisition.

It darn near was. Maverick Garner was giving Allen and his fellow TV Titan Ed Sullivan plenty to worry about on the Sunday-at-8 spot. Last week, for the fifth time. Maverick (7:30 to 8:30) outrode both of them in the Trendex derby-for what that is worth (and to TV and ad moguls it still seems...
