Farm program amendments pass House amid party split
The House approved amendments to safeguard the New Deal farm program from potential unconstitutionality by a 168 to 52 vote. The plan allows the Secretary to order marketing agreements for several commodities if a majority of handlers or two thirds of farmers consent, with milk prices possibly fixed. Some lawmakers questioned constitutionality but favored keeping core farm adjustment provisions, sending the measure toward an early Senate vote.
