Johnson says that "American ingenuity should be equal to the task" of channeling surplus food to "those who need it," but his own ingenuity has produced only a slogan ("food bin of freedom"). Administration insiders say that Nixon, with the President's tacit blessing, is planning to speak out with a farm program of his own, departing from Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson's rigidities enough to sidestep the massive dislike that Benson has piled up among...
