Congress Ready To Vote On Farm Funds Boost
Washington April 14 The House moved toward voting more money for the Agriculture Department than requested or recommended by the appropriations panel. An $82 million add-on for farm research was tentatively approved as part of a $99.41 million agriculture bill with other boosts under consideration. The move drew mixed reactions from farm-state members balancing support for research against fears of political criticism and higher price supports. Senate hinges included FHA scandal probes and defense preparedness remarks as Congress weighs spending and foreign policy in Indo China and McCarthy Army hearings.
