Ever since the election, Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson had looked forward to smooth plowing for his soil-bank program. He needed to rally the corn farmers to the program with more enthusiasm. And to do this, he was prepared to allocate considerably more acreage to the cornmen-though with a lower support price ($1.31 v. $1.36 a bu.)-if only the farmers would renounce the surplus-building system of the old acreage-allotment plan.

The rest of the ten-man squad, Griff McClellan, Bryant Danner, Bob Barnett, and Bill Schreiber, will probably play about the same amount they did against Brown, as Coach Wilson seeks to develop two smooth-working fives...

Manpower Expert Burgess worked out the Army's new Ready Reserve Program, headed the committee that wrote the post-Korean prisoner-of-war code. A hard-but smooth-working executive with a knack for grasping complicated ideas and reducing them to a two-sentence précis, Burgess won a reputation as one of the best administrators in Government. As administrator of the nation's fourth largest airline, Burgess will earn an estimated $100,000 (including bonuses...
