Senate and House Clash Over Farm Price Bill Provisions
The Senate passed a farm price support bill with a sliding scale tied to production controls and varying by crop, opposing a concurrent House plan to extend 90 percent parity through 1950. Senator Clinton Anderson leads the measure, while House Chairman Cooley signals likely insistence on 90 percent supports for basic crops, with corn quotas possible.
