Farmers. "The farmers aren't just mad at Benson," cracked Washington's Democrat Warren G. Magnuson. "They're mad at everybody." Iowa Democrat Merwin Coad charged back determined to override the President's veto of the bill freezing farm-price supports at 1957 levels (TIME, April 14). But he had little intersectional support; Republican Willard S. Curtin polled his Pennsylvania Dutch farmers, found them mostly for flexible supports or for no supports at all. Said Sam Rayburn: "Nobody told me anything about removing Benson." Said Maine Democrat Frank Coffin, from the midst of dairy country: "There...
...people against tax cuts? Lu-bell's subjects gave three principal reasons: i) the individual family's slice would be too thin to make much difference; 2) tax cuts would be of no direct help to the unemployed; and 3) "the country needs the money." An Iowa milkman, a Georgia welder, a Texas printer, a California autoworker and a New Jersey insurance salesman all used almost identical words: "It would help me personally, but how can the Government run without money? And what will we do about the Russians...
...Chicago stockyards last week Iowa Cattle Feeder Joe Dingman sold a twelve-ton load of 20 prime-fed Aberdeen Angus steers for $9,492.60. The price was a near-record 39? per lb., highest since 1952 and far more than the 27? per lb. that prime beef brought a year ago.

Each 1½ boost will bring almost a 2? rise...
After Lamphere's escape from Iowa City, Dr. Chapman stayed on his trail. But even after publication of the Journal article, Lamphere managed to get in two luxurious weeks at Baltimore's famed Johns Hopkins Hospital before he moved on to Indiana and was recognized. State hospitals had previously refused to keep him because they are for residents, and he claimed to be a resident of New York. But last week Lamphere agreed in court to undergo psychiatric examination, was shipped off to the state hospital at Westville, Ind. Psychiatrists hope to keep Lamphere in the maximum-security...
That sort of thing so well satisfies Rhoden's young customers (70% under 24) in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota that he can afford to shrug off television. "TV is for the older folks." says he. "A teen-ager who has a date doesn't want to stay at home." Rhoden waves off major Hollywood productions ("Gary Grant won't sell teen-agers"), even throws out westerns unless they have a young cast. Result: his 1957 gross increased 18% over 1956; this year's is still growing...
