In Congress—
Senate to Begin Fight Over Price Support
Washington—(U.P.)-The Senate headed into a showdown fight today over flexible vs. high farm price supports. The issue was joined on the administration's wool support bill. Farm bloc senators hoped to use the measure as a vehicle for extending present rigid high supports on the basic crops for two more years.
Sen, Alien J. Ellender (D.-La.), ranking Democrat on the Senate Agriculture committee, is sponsor of the key proposed amendment. It would extend present 90 per cent of parity support on wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, peanuts and rice. This program is scheduled to expire in December.
If the move succeeds, it would be a sharp, rebuff for Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson who has gone down the line for a flexible system of price props recommended by President Eisenhower.

Sixteen boys and nine girls, all graduating seniors in/Kansas high schools, have been awarded Summerfield and Elizabeth M. Watkins scholarships for four years of study at the University of Kansas.
