...Mexico's Democratic Senator Clinton Anderson, onetime (1945-48) U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, rejects high rigid supports completely, blames them for much of the current trouble, and thinks that the Eisenhower Administration's flexible (75% to 90%) support program "should have a longer trial."

Although he has previously made it obvious that he will run, e.g., in Kingston, Ont. last fortnight, when he told newsmen he would accept the Democratic nomination if it were offered, Stevenson will consider his reply to Minnesota his formal announcement of candidacy. Thus, the 1952 Democratic nominee will become the first official entry in the 1956 presidential field...
