He cited the volume of marketings, which hit an all-time high last week, as the chief factor in determining whether prices will rise and indicated he expects market ings to continue heavy.

"Remarkably Well." "Prices have held remarkably well considering the volume," he said. He credited the high level of business activity and purchasing power with helping to absorb much of the heavy hog crop. He said hog prices "over the last three years" have averaged "very good," and that it has been mainly the heavy marketings from this year's spring pig crop that have brought the price slump. He cited figures to show that the average price for 1953, 1954, and 1955 using a projected $15.70 average for this year is $19.57. He said a comparable figure for 1950, 1951 and 1952 was $18.60.

He also said per capita consumption of pork is rising and is expected to reach 67 pounds per person this year, while the armed forces expect to feed their men an average of 106 pounds of pork and pork products this year. Sees Iowan. Benson met in his office with Howard Waters of Danville, of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. Waters is a member of the pork and hog advisory committee which met here several weeks ago. It recommended against price support buying of hogs but suggested Benson "consider" the type of program he an nounced Monday.

Benson said he has been in constant touch with commit tee members since the meet ing, and sought their advice py to learn of the pork-buying program." He and other mid-western Republican governors urged such a program at a conference Oct. 14. "I have confidence it will help bolster pork prices," the governor said, "and that is very essential." Still Opposes Farm Penalties At his Washington press conference, Benson made it clear that bumper crops and pleadings of the American Farm Bureau Federation have not convinced him that a "cross-compliance" program of penalties is needed to control farm acreage. The secretary said he would "have gotten very little good" out of the cross-compliance program he started a year ago and then abandoned. Benson said he preferred a "voluntary program," and saw many indications that farmers are becoming aware that they must cut their production on a voluntary basis.

E. Howard Hill, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, has been urging a sharp cross-compliance program this year. He has also asked that Benson institute a program for renting farm land to keep it out of production. Denies Split. The secretary of agriculture denied reports that there is a split in the cabinet on his farm program.

Other cabinet members "have suggestions from time to time," he said. "They are not a bunch of 'yes' men."

'We may get a little im provement, he said, "but the statistical situation certainly indicates to me that we have a lot of hogs coming to mar ket." Asked why he had delayed until now to get into the buying program since leaders in both parties have been urging it for almost two months Benson said "prices were down considerably last week and receipts heavy." "We wanted to do our pur chasing at a time when we thought we could do the most good," he added. "We didn't decide until the last few hours." Benson also said he feared 'stepping in too early" be cause "price influences breed ing to some extent stepping in too early and too vigorous ly might have resulted in more spring farrowing." He would not say whether the department might ask for money to do buying on a larg er scale if prices continued to fall. "We'd be guided by the in dustrythere's no particular level at which we would ask for more," he said. The buying program will be carried out with funds lected from customs receipts under the "Section 32" author ity. Light Ones Only.

Benson said purchases would be limited to high- quality, lightweight hogs. Or ris V. Wells, administrator of the agricultural marketing service, said 225 pounds will be the top weight considered for purchase. Benson said that he does not believe there is any way to put permanent price supports under hogs. "Price supports under eggs and hogs will always be failures and we might just as well face it," he said.

Not Informed. The Pentagon said that a review of the Incident had established that neither Senator John McClellan (Ark.) nor Senator John Stennis (Miss.) requested "nor were they made aware" that the air force planned to fly special mission aircraft to Madrid, Spain, to pick them up.

"Senator McClellan and Senator Stennis are in no way responsible for the air force's decision" to dispatch the big aircraft to Spain, the defense statement said, and "it is regretted that the incident caused embarrass-ment to the senators."

The two senators had made their way from Madrid to Germany and flew back on a regularly scheduled plane operated by the military air transport service. Upon their arrival they demanded an explanation from the defense department of published reports that the department was dispatching two airliners to Europe because the legislators said they had to be back Monday and tnere ws no other regular military air service available for them. McClellan explained that the "whole purpose of our using air force planes was to save money." Both sen ators denied that they had sought or demanded special treatment in transportation. When informed of the Pentagon's apology, McC I 1 1 a commented: "I thought they ought to do that much." Earlier he had suggested the Republicans in charge of the Pentagon (1) themselves boobed up the senatorial travel arrangements, and (2) might be trying to put a couple of innocent Democrats in a bad light.
