...session just ahead. The Agriculture Department predicted last week that, with improved moisture conditions in prospect, 1958's winter wheat harvest will run a glutting 28% bigger than 1957's. But far from taking the wheat forecast as further evidence that the high price-support approach has failed (TIME, Dec. 23), Chairman Harold D. Cooley of the House Agriculture Committee declared that Benson "won't get to first base" with his proposal to lower the support floor under basic crops from 75% of parity to 60%. Instead, vowed North Carolinian Cooley, Democrats will push for a return...
...made sound sense to the U.S.'s biggest farmer organization, the 1,600,000-member American Farm Bureau Federation. Meeting in Chicago last week, the A.F.B.F. called for a "special effort" by the Government to get whole farms into a long-term conservation reserve. Benson's new approach also made sense, as a step in the right direction, to the respected Committee for Economic Development, a private organization of high-level businessmen and educators. In a thoughtful farm-policy study released last week, C.E.D. argued that it would be cheaper for the Government to rent farm land than...

Since demand is not big enough to support all U.S. farmers at free-market prices, the Government has tried to prop up farm income with price supports. But the price-support approach has been a costly, ineffectual flop (TIME...
...classical music," in the usage of the recording industry, may stretch all the way from Wanda Landowska to Wladziu Valentine Liberace. Within that range, the smaller companies count as a bestseller any disk that sells more than 15,000 copies, while with the larger outfits a hit record may approach half a million (the industry guards exact sales figures with almost paranoid intensity, with each company claiming that all others are cheating). Here, in order of popularity over the last decade, are the top five classical LP sellers of the leading classical companies...
Perhaps due to inexperience, the acting seems colorless and a little cold. A more stylized and more dramatic approach would improve both the performance's pace and its credibility. There is little sense of dramatic response between one character and another. Eugene Pell as the Merchant is the major offender, with a tendency to over-draw his characterization with scarcely a change in pace or tone of voice. Cyrus Hamlin as the guide and William Schroeder as the coolie are both adequate, but a little dull. Mark Mirsky as the judge is more communicative, but a little out of touch...
