William J. Kuhfuss, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, urged cutbacks in federal aid while defending support for agricultural research and technology.

North Carolina bill eases tax break for retirees
The House Finance Committee killed a restrictive amendment and advanced a bill to raise the state income tax exemption for retired service members from 1250 to 3000. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Claude DeBruhi of Buncombe, faced opposition from Rep. Lawrence Davis who argued for delaying the exemption until age 60. Debate included claims the change would attract retirees to North Carolina, with supporters saying it aids those already drawing retirement pay who may work full time.
