ASHER MELTON, President. ROBERT E. HAYS, Clerk. never will be released to Congress, and that on the other hand there might be some types which could be released. 6.

Expressed anew belief that the legislative program he sent to Congress represents a crying need to assure an upturn in the economy, happiness fdr all, and a stronger America. Eisenhower said the longer action on the program is put off, the longer we fail to take advantage of our opportunities. He made those re- when asked whether he is satisfied with the rate of progress on the program in Congress. 7. Characterized his conference with Gen.

MacArthur last week as purely an exchange of views on the world situation between two old-friends. Eisenhower said they reached no definitive conclusions and had not intended to do so. The President was asked for a soldier's evaluation of the situa- "tion at Dien Bien Phu, the French fortress in Indochina under heavy assault by the Communists. Eisenhower replied that in cases where you hold well chosen positions, the odds usually favor the this case the French. During discussion of the Pacific nuclear weapons tests, Eisenhower was asked about the possibility of giving the public more information on tiie atomic program.

He replied that with the world entering the atomic age the public naturally has legitimate questions about it. He added that he wants to make as much information available as can be provided witliout jeopardizing the nation's security. Eisenhower repeated he plans to review the whole situation with the Atomic Energy Commission, chairman as soon as Strauss returns from the Pacific tests. Farmers Con Sell Soybeans And Pay Off Their Loans Farmers with soybeans under loan should be fully aware that they are still the owners of such beans. They can pay off the loan and sell the beans on the market if they so desire.

These reminders were issued today by Mr, E. C. Champ, Qiairman of the local ASC office. Last fall at harvest time beans were selling at about or around 26c below the loan price support. A considerable number of farmers, therefore, decided to hold onto their beans and place them under price support loan in anticipatibn of a market price increase.

In recent weeks quite a few of these producers have been redeeming their loans ana turning their beans on the market at around S3.46 per bushel. "It's continued Mr. Champ, "that the market price may go higher. On the other hand, it may not, and we make no attempt to forecast what will happen. However, we do want all of our farmers who now have beans under loan to fully recognize that they can still pay off this loan and do whatever they wish with their beans." In considering this matter, farmers should realize, foo, that there is a deadline for redeeming their loans.

Any loan beans stored in elevators under warehouse certificate automatically become the property of CCC if they are not redeemed by May 31. 1954. It is on this same date that producers with farm stored loans' must also make up their minds relative to the disposition of their beans.
