Farm bill split over one year emergency grain controls
In Washington, a House compromise to extend one year of emergency wheat and feed grain controls faced Senate opposition. Rep. Harold D. Cooley argued for extending the program, while Sen. Allen Ellender rejected any extension, urging producers to fill bins under the Benson system. The Senate favored a mandatory-constraint bill, but House leadership signaled little chance of approval. The one-year extension, with voluntary controls, could lapse into the 1958 Benson law without action.
