House Refuses Pay Hike Bid Amid Budget Debate
The House Appropriations Committee rejected pay raise proposals for congressional staff and extra member allowances while proposing 66.28 million dollars for the legislative department excluding the Senate for the next fiscal year. House operation funds would total 31.12 million, down 347 thousand from estimates but up 2.20 million from this year. Other allocations include 11.22 million for the Capitol architect, 246 thousand for the botanic garden, 9.66 million for the Library of Congress, 11.65 million for the Government Printing Office and 2.40 million for joint offices. No Senate funds were included, reflecting a one-branch approach to congressional finance. The Senate may amend the bill with its own needs once it receives the measure.

Farm Leader Backs 90 Percent Parity Price Plan
National Farmers Union president James G. Patton described the referendum result as a push to repeal the sliding scale and pass a 90 percent parity price bill. He said the next step is to secure firm federal price supports to protect family farmers at 100 percent parity through federal programs. The House passed bill, now in a Senate committee, aims to replace the current 76 percent parity plan, with 50 percent as the fallback if Congress does not act.
