Longing Eye. The next step Benson's Agriculture Department must take into the wheat field is to fix acreage allotments for individual wheat farmers. Benson's staff is delaying that step until Congress acts on bills that will increase the total allowed U.S. wheat acreage. If the limit is raised, the acreage cuts (which would average 30% under the present limit) would not be so severe. After the department sets farm-by-farm allotments, wheat farmers will vote on whether they want the quotas. If two-thirds approve, all wheat grown on allotted acreage will be supported...
...years since 1787, virtually the only limit put upon the treaty power by the Supreme Court is that a treaty may not "authorize what the Constitution forbids."

...year or two ago, when European businessmen could sell most of the goods they produced, it would have fallen flat. But now, with shortages about gone and world markets shrinking, the Soviet Union's East-West trade proposals make businessmen's mouths water.

Gene Kelly, who has already put in full time abroad, will make closer to $600,000. Not every cinemactor has stayed the limit. Robert Taylor made two films in Europe, then forsook his tax break by coming home. Errol Flynn, on the other hand, has a better reason than most for overstaying his leave: he owes the U.S. $407,839.92 in back taxes...
