Beef For Jobless Bill Expands Cattle Relief Measures
The Senate approved the conference report on the Jones Connally bill to list cattle and other goods as basic commodities under the farm act. It adds rye flax barley peanuts and grain sorghums and authorizes 50 million dollars for diseased cattle eradication and relief purchases, plus 200 million for paying cattle raisers to reduce herds and balance markets pending a processing tax. The tax would exempt cattle bought for relief. Critics call the fund blind speculation and indeterminate, while a senator expects the 200 million to be returned to the Treasury.
