"If the Congress wishes to propose a plan as an alternative to the course here recommended, so long as that plan is constructive as I have indicated herein, I will approve it," Eisenhower said. Other legislative recommendations included: 1, A three-year extension of the soil bank land returement program and an expansion from the present 28 million acres to 60 million acres. This program is designed to help curtail overproduction. Eisenhower proposed that the government be permitted to make rental payments on retired land in the form of crop surpluses as well as cash.

2. A vigorous advancement of the government's food for peace program for moving surpluses to needy areas abroad 3. An aggressive research program to develop new markets and new uses for farm products 4, An expansion of the rural development program to help low income rural families find better opportunities on and off the land. The message made no recommendations regarding extension of the sugar control act which expires at the end of this year. This act is designed to help stabilize prices and supplies through a system of import and domestic marketing quotas.

Neither did it mention a proposal made by Eisenhower in his budget message to raise the interest chai'ged to rural power and telephone borrowers by the Rural Electrification Administration. James C. Hagerty, White House press secretaiy, said these two matters will be laid before Congress by Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, In emphasizing need for new wheat legislation the President pointed out that the government has about 3V4 billion dollars tied up in surpluses of the grain. He said it costs the government more than $1,000 a minute the year round to stabilize wheat prices and income, Eisenhower said he has repeatedly expressed a preference for faiTO programs that "will ultimately free the farmers rather tlian subject him to increasing governmental restraints. He added: "I'm convinced that most farmers hold the same view.

But whatever the legislative approach, whether toward greater freedom or greater regimentation, it must be sensible and economically sound and not a political poultice, and it must be enacted promptly."

KHRUSHCHEV DUE IK INDIA ON THURSDAY Indio Hopes He Will Induce Chino To Halt Aggression. By WATSON SIMS NEW DEUU, India (AP)-ln- dian officials eagerly await the arrival Thursday of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.

They consider him the only person who might induce Red China to retreat in the bitter dispute over the border between India and Tibet. India's leaders attach about the same importance' to Khrushchev's four-day visit as that given to President Eisenhower's visit last December. Eisenhower's coming was regarded by many as a veiled warning to Peiping against using force to seize 50,000 square miles of border territory claimed by both India and Communist China. The President did not disappoint his Indian listeners when he told parliament that the United States is ready to come to the aid of its fi-iends in the event of aggression. Khrushchev is viewed more as an "honest broker" one who might use his top Communist position to persuade Red China to ease its claims.

Indian leaders, from Prime in- ister Nehru down, have been encouraged by Khrushchev's refusal to take sides in the dispute there has been concern over the Communist chief's description of the dispute as a misunderstanding. "Misunderstanding is precisely what it is not," declare the influential Hindustan Times in a recent editorial. The newspaper pointed out that India has explained its position in scores of notes and letters the past five the disputed territory is India's legally and liistoricaly. Nehru will get an opportunity to reiterate that position in talks with Khi-ushchev Thursday and Friday. The Soviet leader's reaction could profoundly influence future Indian attempts to negotiate tiie dispute.

It also may provide the outside world with some insight into the often enignatic relations between Moscow and ing. Li 1955 Western observers complained that India's nonalignment policy was set in the durection of communism. observers feel India now is nonaligned in the other direction. Kennedy Didn't Mean To Say He Could Not Win LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) Sen.

John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) said today that the words were a little stronger than he intended when he was quoted as saying: "It I don't to Los Angeles in a position to win by the time I ai-rive there, I won't get the (Democratic presidential) nomination," Kennedy, reached by Tlie Associated Press before his departure for Oregon, said he didn't want to say that these were not the woi-ds he used in talking to a New York Times reporter Monday, He said he would rather put it this way: "I (would say) that I had to secure sufficient support in the primaries so-tliat I would be in a position to secui-e the nomination by the time I arrive in Los Angeles and not have to attempt to secure It through long, drawn-out balloUng thetfe." Did Kennedy then mean that he would hot count himself out if the nomination were not in the bag by convention time? He referred the back to his statement about wanting to muster sufficient support In the primaries so he could avoid a prolonged battle at the convention. He also had been quoted by newsmen here as saying Monday: "If I cannot win in the primaries, I do not believe I can win the nomination." On another subject, Kennedy told reporters durhig his stopover here that defense planning "should err only on the side of safety," Charge Wage Law Broken On Fairfield Farm This Duck Thinks He's A Watchdog PHILADELPHIA the militant duck, has become a self-styled watchman.

WASHINGTON (AP)-Problems of trucking space missiles over the nation's highways have forced costly revision of clearance stand ards on the interstate system, house investigators heard today.

D. Ken Oiacey, assistant chief of transportation for the Army, told a House Public Works subcommittee that new requirements of the space age, ushered in by Russia's Sputnik in 1957, prompted the revision. Chacey was the first witness at an inquiry into spending and planning for the projected superhighway system to cost 40 billion dollars when completed hi the 1970's. Chacey was summoied for testimony about military-civilian coordination in satisfying highway requirements of the Defense Department.

But he said he and others, in- eluding missile officials, felt that under the circumstances it was not necessary to seek revisicm and add to highway costs. SPRINGFIELD (AP) A group of Russian officials concluded their visit in Springfield today after leaving a parting word that the capitalist and Communist nations must learn to live together In peace. At a dinner Monday night sponsored by the Springfield Rotary Club, N. T. Kalchenki, chaiman of the Ukranian Soviet Republic, spoke in behalf of the 12 ranking Soviet leaders touring the United States.

Kedchenko said (jommunists realize Americans are proud of their system which has given them "first place in the worid in industrial development," but he said Russians also "love our socialist system." "We must admit there are two systems in the world Socialist and capitaUst," he declared. "We should resolve ourselves to this fact and live in peace and friendship." Earlier Monday, the Russians inspected a farm, factory, high school and supermarket At times they poked fun at some American attitudes. Dimltry Polyansky, head of the delegation, bantered with Russell Parte, 38 Mechanicsburg grain farmer, about his profits. Paik refused to discuss his income, saying it was a personal matter. But Polyansky suggested Park might be hiding something "from Uncle Sam." The group, many of them interested in farming, appeared impressed by their tour of the Park farm.

The Russians questioned tiim about his farming methods, cost of operations and prices received for his products. A Rock Falls school teacher pleaded with Polyansky to help gain release of her parents from a Siberian labor camp but was told by Polyansky it was none of his business. The teacher. Mrs. Lita Grabeklis, has lived in the United States 10 years.

She made a plea for her parents who have been held in camp behind the Ural mountains for 12 years. She said she obtained a visa for them to come to the United States over two years ago. Mrs. Grabeklis said she told Polyansky all that was needed was to take the papers out of the files and stamp them. He said, "We are not spoiling our fuigers by putting stamps on them.

If we let them go, we let them go." Polyansky is chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republics. "The Russian delegation all government officials, are repaying a visit by a group of American governors, including Gov. Stratton, made to Russia last summer. The next stop on thehr tcip is Denver.
