Senator Edward J. Thompson proposes a plan to build about 1 002 new rural schools in Pennsylvania at a cost of 75 million dollars to elevate facilities to city standards. Donald P.

A historical critique argues the farm program will cost half a billion dollars with little benefit. It says the plan covers only four major products, leaving about 30 percent of farm income subsidized and prices for farmers falling while industrial costs rise.
