"The measure relaxes acreage controls on the 1950 crops of peanuts and cotton and strips the 1951 potato crop of price support, unless growers accept rigid controls down surpluses. But Mr. Truman said it "furnishes additional grounds for trje charges that the present farm program is costly and piles up unmanageable surpluses at the same .time that it maintains artificially; high prices for agricultural commodities." "What is needed is for the congress to approach this problem with a view to correcting ;the fundamental shortcomings in the present farm program rather. than patching it up with makeshift legislation," he said, - U The president said he signed farm bill only bethe catch-a- ll cause he decided the urgent need for relief from cotton planting allotment inequities it will give to growers and the "promise" it holds for an improvement in the potato program "outweigh the defects of the measure." , " ld to-ho- - MAGNA.
