Liberals Gain Influence in New Congress
A coalition of liberal lawmakers from both parties challenges conservatives in Congress. The Senate rejected opening its rules by 55 to 38, despite 21 Republicans and 17 Democrats supporting the change. Nixon’s stance shifts dynamics as McCarthy targets Eisenhower’s role, while party leadership seeks control via a new policy advisory committee.

They warn long term prospects remain uncertain though the immediate danger has passed. UK treasury officials noted heavy costs to support the pound and speculative pressures, but a recent halt in gold and dollar drain was helped by IMF drawings.

Cost of Food Stamp Plan Up To 2.5 Billion
Washington AP reports the Agriculture Department told Congress the food stamp plan to improve diets could cost 600 million to 2.14 billion dollars yearly depending on scope. A smaller figure covers welfare recipients only, while a broader plan assumes four person families spend about 5.50 weekly. The department urged no recommendation, noting stockpiling against shortages is problematic due to warehousing, management, and cost. It also said current surplus distribution to needy states remains costly and limited by food types.
