Farm Security cuts and 1943 44 parity plans urged by House panel
The House appropriations committee recommended abolishing the Farm Security Administration, ending the crop insurance program, and continuing parity payments for the 1943 and 1944 crops as it sent the agriculture department supply bill to the Senate. In Harrisburg, the Senate passed a landmark public works bond bill and a plan to retire $60 million in General State Authority bonds, both shaped by party lines. Churchill stated Britain would stand firm in the Atlantic air war, while Soviet forces pressed German supply lines in the Caucasus. Former Kansas governor and ex Republican presidential candidate Lindon predicted the president would not leave the White House voluntarily.
