Paper Balance Senator Says Budget Seems On Paper
Senator Ellender warned that the administration may be balancing the budget on paper by underestimating farm price support costs for the next year. President Eisenhower’s budget estimated price support losses at 1.591 billion dollars for the upcoming bookkeeping year, nearly half a billion less than the current year. He doubted farm programs would improve next year and expected losses to remain high. Senator Capehart urged creating an agency to dispose of over eight billion dollars in government held farm surplus through gifts if needed.
