Farm Fund Cut Provokes Political Death Claim
Representative Sabath denounces a 32 percent cut in 1948 agriculture funds as ruthless and dangerous, warning Republicans their support would be political death by action. He criticizes the House Appropriations Committee’s farm supply bill and says it ignores agriculture and national interests. The proceedings open on an $805 million measure, with $383 million trimmed. The note adds a comment on television and FM radio waves traveling in a straight line to the horizon.

Public Welfare Amendment Clears House to Senate
The Texas House approved by 121 to 14 a constitutional amendment removing the 35 million dollar ceiling on public welfare. The measure retains a $20 limit for state aid plus federal funds to reach up to 45 dollars monthly. Lawmakers caution that removal of the ceiling doesn’t guarantee full grants, as future legislatures must still authorize appropriations. The session also returns a bill on sympathy strikes to conference and advances a redistricting effort with a suspended joint rules measure to allow a board proposal to be considered anytime.
