...late Senator Robert Taft's brother, Charles P. Taft, president of the Committee for a National Trade Policy, characterized this recent record on trade policy. Said he: "The President's general position is sound and beyond doubt sincere, but nobody at the top of the Administration stands up and fights...
There was not a baggy suit among the lot of them, or a frown, when twelve visiting Russian farm officials showed up at the Department of Agriculture last week for an appointment with Secretary Ezra Taft Benson. Bald and effusive, Russia's Deputy Minister of Agriculture Vladimir Matskevich presented Benson with a couple of souvenir lacquered boxes, one of them showing a family of bears gamboling happily in a forest. Benson asked how to say "thank you" in Russian, said "spasibo," and handed Matskevich a 4-H Club tie-clip, a photograph of the Benson family and a book...
...main line of legal precedent was restated recently by C. Dickerman Williams, a Manhattan lawyer, in an article, "Problems of the Fifth Amendment," first printed by the Fordham Law Review and now being distributed by the Fund for the Republic.

Called as a witness was Burr's secretary, a Mr. Willie, who was asked if he had understood a cipher message purportedly written...
Last week Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson's men were hard at work on the third alternative. So far, Benson & Co. have had only middling success in selling surplus farm products.

But last week Iowa farmers were asked to reseal on their own farms some 50 million bushels of corn, deliverable this month to the Government...
SURPLUS SALES ABROAD will be speeded up under a new farm program being pushed by the Department of Agriculture. Although farm exports in 1954 totaled $3 billion (7% higher than in 1953), Secretary Ezra Taft Benson is studying the possibility of selling excess farm commodities to Russia and her satellites. Another idea: to sell a big chunk of the 185 million Ibs. of butter surplus (down from 460 million Ibs. last year) to foreign nations for industrial use in bakeries and candy factories...
