barwsen e WASHINGTON
Washington observers are still
hlkln:.:bout the surprising victory
of the I cmocratic candidate in W s
consin's ninth district. It was the
first time in history that a Democrat
has been elected to congress from
that distriet,
Much of the comment is centered
on the fact that the winner, Lester
R. Johnson, denounced the adminis
tration’s farm policy during his cam
paign. The district is predominant
ly rural,
It would seem, these Washington
sages are saying, that the farmers
are disappointed in the administra
tion's farm program and have ex
pressed themselves at the ballot box.
They add that the administration
must change its policy, and possibly
fire Secretary of Agriculture Benson,
or find more dipleasure registered
at the poils next year.
Even Republican National Cahair
man Leonard W. Hall admitted that
the Wisconsin defeat was “‘not good.”
However, he discounted any national
trend toward the Democrats, He said
the administration still has the
“support” of the country.
On the other hand, Democratic
leaders were happy over the out
come and saw it as a national trend.
Some went so far as to say it indi
cated a Demoeratic victory in the
1954 congressional elections.
Senator Kefauver, of Tennessee,
who campaigned for the winner,
said the elcetion showed “a general
dissatisfaction with the farm, power,
and money policies of the adminis
tration.”
Another prominent Democrat said
that unless the President changed his
farm policy it was evident that he
and his administration would sink
with the present éne.
The farm question was further
highlighted by Secretary Benson's an
nouncement that he is reorganizing
the Agriculture Department. The
plan would consolidate some branch
es of the agency and shift duties of
others.
“This reorganization streamlines
the department for better services
to farm families and for simplified
internal onganization,” Benson said.
The Dapartment of Agriculture as
reorganized is designed to meel
present day conditions, particularly
in its emphasis on marketing. With
this reorganization we are ready to
administer the farm programs which

Benson's plan immediately drew
Ithe ire of a number of Democrat
lie senators. In particular, Senator
| Johnson, of South Carolina, & mem
| ber of the Senate Agricultural Com
'mittee, changed that under the plan
the Farm Credit Administration and
the Farmers Home Administration,
itho department's principal lending
| agencies, would be “smothered.”
| Other senators asked Benson to
.withhold the plan until congress can
| review it. :
| It would appear that the farm
'uituntion and the administration’s
'hrm policy*is headed for a climax
| that may cause the greatest explosion
