Record-Chronicle Staff Writer
The Benson plan for the re-
organization of the Agriculture De- 1
partment today was described as
“possibly a political move,” by
two Denton County soil conserva-
tion leaders. John D. Faught of
Justin, chairman of the board of
supervisors of the Denton-Wise Soil
Conservation District, and James
Degan of Lewisville, a member of
the board, said the plan is “like
changing horses in midstream."
"It could be a better program
than the one we have at the
present time,’' Degan admitted.
"We don't want to be unfair about
it. Actually, however, we don’t
know what the new program is to
be. It might improve our nation’s
conservation program, but we fig-
ured that the present setup was
going pretty good."
Faught commented: "We could
comment on the proposed re-
organization more intelligently if
we knew what it will ultimately
mean to soil conservation. The
landowners, elected by their neigh-
bors to help administer the con-
servation program in the past, and
the career conservationists of the
Soil Conservation Service-experts
in their field—have not been con-
sulted.
"It looks just a little like the
strings are being pulled by a man
in an ivory tower. We have ask-
ed that the powers-that-be go slow-
ly in making any changes in the
soil conservation! setup. And we
would like to know all of the steps
contemplated; it could actually be
a better program than we have at
the present time."
Faught and Degan were more
conservative in their comments
on the scheduled re-organization
plan than J. Waters Davis, presi-
dent of the NASCD. Davis, whose
home is in League City, Tex., has

state are "boiling mad" because
he said "the Eisenhower Adminis-
tration hasn’t done anything but
to drought relief plans there.
The Kentucky governor said he
expects this to be reflected in a
Democratic sweep of local offices
in tomorrow's state election. Ei-
senhower lost Kentucky by only
700 votes last year but Wetherby
said "this year he is in bad shape."
The governor said he doesn’t be-
lieve Eisenhower could make a
close presidential race there if the
vote were tomorrow.
Johns said he believes Eisen-
hower's popularity is waning swift-
ly in Florida and carrying Repub-
lican hopes down with it. Eisen-
hower won the state last year by
about 100,000 votes.
"I don’t think they have much
chance of establishing a two party
system in Florida,” Johns said.
Gov. William Umstead of North
Carolina said he thinks Eisenhower
has slipped in that state, which
the President lost in 1952 by about
94,000 votes.
Gov. Robert Kennon of Louisiana
said he believes if the election
were today, Eisenhower would car-
ry Louisiana. He lost it by about
45,000 votes last year.
Gov. Johnston Murray of Okla-
homa guessed that state would go
back into the Democratic column
today, after having given Eisen-
hower a 115,000 margin in 1952.

Awarded $25
Drawing Prize
Dale Houston, 1918 Panhandle,
was awarded the Record-Chronicle
, $25 prize for the beat point sketch
in the Halloween drawing contest.
Houston, son of Mr. and Mrs.
F. A. Houston, painted a sketch of
a little boy, interruped in the
process of celebrating Halloween,
explaining to a policeman what he
was doing with a piece of soap.
J The winning sketch appeared on
the window of Linwood Roberson
Florist, 501 W. Hickory.
Runners up in the contest in-
cluded Gretchen Jeffrey with a
sketch of horses on Russell's win-
dow; Dan Travis with a water-
color sketch on Brooks Drug's
window; and Bob Harris, with a
picture of a dog, moon, and trees
on a window at 104 E. Hickory.
Taking a tip from Lewisville,
which annually sponsors a Hal-
loween picture contest, the Record-
Chronicle offered the prize here
to give youngsters an opportunity
to present bonafide artistic talents
with paints which will easily wash
off rather than mar windows with
aimless scratches.
Plans for next year’s contest
are expected to make the contest
more city-wide than this year.

employes of the Taylor Motor Co.,

Some congressmen had re-
quested that Benson delay
nutting the plan into opera-
tion until after Congress had
a chance to look it over.
Only last week, Rep. Bender (R-
Ohio) announced that a House gov-
ernment operations subcommittee
would conduct hearings this month
o.i the plan.
Bender asked that Benson de-
lay the plan until after the bear-
ings.
Benson was asked at his news
conference whether he had satis-
fied the Republican members of
Congress who had suggested that
he hold up on the plan.
The secretary said most of the
lawmakers who had entered the
matter had done so on the basis
of information only from his cri-
ics.
The Agriculture secretary said
opposition to the organization plan
came from one group, the National
Association of Soil Conservation
Districts.
He said "certain officers” of this
organization had issued "mislead-
ing and unfounded" statements and
in some cases had made "false-
hood!" about purposes of the re-
rganization plan- ----------
Critics have contended the plan
would destroy the soil conserva-
tion service.
Benson said the "principal area
of complaint" resulted from the
proposal to change the field or-
ganization by eliminating aeven
