...good day for Ezra Taft Benson, who has had many bad days in the past seven years (and will doubtless have plenty of them in the year ahead). Home from the hospital, he pored happily over the news from Iowa. Out in Chicago at its yearly convention, the staunchly Republican, 1,400,000-member American Farm Bureau Federation unanimously adopted a pro-Benson wheat plan that calls for lowering the support price from the present $1.77 a bushel under acreage controls to about $1.30 with no controls-a "lowering" that could well bring on the greatest wheat glut...
...Governor Nelson Rockefeller whirled through seven states in seven days. Purpose of the expedition to Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Texas and Florida: to test the political climate in the heartland before deciding early next month whether to make the race against Vice President Richard Nixon for the Republican presidential nomination. General finding: predictable coolness from the professionals, enough spontaneous warmth from amateurs and scattered Nixon dissidents to convince an energetic, personable Nelson Rockefeller that he might have a chance in the primaries if the voters could know him better...
Whenever Nelson Rockefeller hits the road to campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Vice President Richard Nixon, his archrival, invariably drops a barbed headline.

Dewey, a surprise guest, turned up jauntily, mingled with the high...
...Nixon bandwagon is to work up impressive speed in the primaries, it must be rolling merrily for the nation's first primary in New Hampshire twelve weeks hence. But while the bandwagon, floats, trapeze artists and bands formed up impatiently. New Hampshire's chief elephant driver, Republican Governor Wesley Powell, sulked in his tent. Reason: Powell had the offer of an honorary chairmanship of the Nixon campaign, and he wanted to be full chairman, with control of plans and funds. Last week, mindful of serious clankings in the one-ring New Hampshire tent of Nelson Rockefeller, the state...
Basically a Republican newspaper, the Star does not accept a liberal or conservative label, always reserves the right to cross party lines. Roy Roberts was one of the first Eisenhower-for-President crusaders in 1952 and still stands firmly behind Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. But the Star has taken strong exception to some Eisenhower Administration policies (it called for the resignation of John Foster Dulles long before he became ill), and last year it enthusiastically supported the re-election of Kansas City's Democratic Congressman Richard Boiling...
