Benson Fires Back Sharply At His Critics Claims Administration Works for Welfare Of the Family Farm HUNTLEY, 111. if, Secretary of Agriculture Benson, striking back sharply al critics, said today the Eisenhower administration has taken "more constructive action for the benefit of the family farm than has any previous administration in years."
