Farm Budget Cuts Hit as Train Fares Rise Amid Storm
The House appropriations committee recommends a 32 percent cut in Agriculture Department funds for the coming year, slashing about 383 million dollars from President Truman’s request. Democratic leaders clash with Secretary Clinton Anderson over impacts on soil conservation and farm price support programs, veterans aid, and low income families. The plan would terminate the Agriculture Adjustment Administration by July 1, 1948, reducing farm payments to roughly half previous promises. Anderson calls the cuts selective and necessary to fit actual farm needs.

He notes the housing shortage worsens and builders fear high costs, keeping new construction in check, despite rising earnings and expectations of lower prices. Travel pay increases are approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, raising coach and sleeping car fares across about 60 railroads to offset operating costs.
