Caption/Description

The gentleman who looks so irate here is U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. His own expression indicates that although the camera does not lie, it occasionally gives a wrong impression, for Mr. Benson isn't angry at all. He was telling newsmen at the moment that he was 'pleased at President Eisenhower's thorough grasp of the farm problem.'
