Eisenhower Vet Bill; Says Selt-

Asks Swift ' Action On E Soil Bank

WASHINGTON AP)-President

Eisenhower Monday night urged congress to enact swiftly I new payment-in-advance sou bank pro- gram whlch could give participat- ing farmers an extra 3500,000.000 in this crop year. The president offered this pro- posal in I radio-TV broadcast explaining and defending his veto of the Democratic-sponsored farm bill. Eisenhower said that "by a simple provlsiou." in the proposed soil bank system Congress can authorize the government to begin making payments up to 50 per cent as soon as I farmer signs I con- tract agreeing to take part.

"Thus immediately after July 1.

I956." Eisenhower said, "farmers who agree to participate in either the acreage reserve or conserva- tion reserve phases of the soil bank program will be eligible for pay- ment." The farmers. under this system. would get the remolnler of their money on compliance with the con tract terms.

ADDITIONAL MEASURES

Eisenhower also proposed in his radio-TV speech-in which i... said he felt compelled to veto the com- promise farm 5" "regardless of political pressu, :''-two additional measu ca besides the progr he outlined in his veto message ear- lier in the day.
