Senate Debates Farm Bill and Surplus Disposal
Democratic leaders pressed for quick House and Senate agreement on a one year freeze of farm price supports and planting allowances despite veto threats. The House approved the price freeze 210 to 172 and the Senate 50 to 43 with no override. The measure would halt pending 1958 price support reductions and save the farm economy over half a billion dollars. The Senate also extended for two years disposal authority for farm surpluses abroad for foreign currencies or gifts, passing on a voice vote as Humphrey urged barter to use at least $500 million yearly.
