L. LIVINGSTON WASHINGTON (AP) The administration's politically explosive farm program faced its crucial test in the House today with President Eisenhower and many members of his own party bitterly at odds.

The House was called into session two hours ahead of normal to start voting- on the farm bill and Republican House leaders were reported ready to offer a compromise which would preserve the President's program in bare principe. But farm state forces, including many Democrats. toward talk of compromise and gave signs of making: a showdown fight for continued high price supports in the face of the President's opposition. North Holds Balance Both sides counted on the support of Northern big city members whose constituents are most interested in grocery store prices. A possible tipoff as to how the Northern Democratic vote might go was an announcement last night that the New York Democratic delegation would back high price supports.

New York Democrats, virtually all from New York City, said, "The best way to maintain the welfare of our cities is to sustain the purchasing power of the 30 million farmers." Before the House was a bill recommended by the Agriculture Committee and calling for another year of price supports on basic crops at 90 per cent of parity.

Red- indcctrinated farm workers were said to be inciting revot in Escuintla, Pinula and Concepcion, hotbeds of communism about 30 miles from Guatemala City. Monzon declined to say whether he was returning- to the Guatemalan capital, but it was believed generally he would. The joint statement said the cease-fire had been extended in order to give both parties time to consider and study various proposals to reach an accord." Neither side would disclose what House Leader Hal- leek of Indiana told reporters he favors a substitute for the high support section of the committee bill which would keep the minimum support level at 80 or 85 per cent of parity rather than 75.

"It would re-establish the principle, ql flexibility, but with a high-. er minimum parity figure." he I said, and declared: "I think we can 1 win with it." President Eisenhower told his news conference yesterday he still backs his program for flexible supports, but he said he pla.nned no new appeal to the House. There has been speculation he would veto an extensior of 90 per cent props. Surpluses Are Issue The administration argues that flexible supports would tend to stop the accumulation of surpluses, by lowering the support level when -stocks are ample, and would stimulate production when needed, by raising supports in time of scarcity. Representatives Hope (R-Kan) and Cooley CD-NO, the chairman and senior minority member of the House Agriculture Committee, assailed these arguments last night in a nationwide broadcast reply to earlier talks by Vice President Nixon and Secretary of Agriculture Benson.

Cooley said "a deliberate effort has been made by people in high By ROBERT H. JOHNSON JR. EAGLE PASS, Tex.
