President's farm aid plan clashes with Senate opposition
In Washington on May 10, President Roosevelt faced stern Senate resistance as debates over the agriculture department bill center on farm expenditures. Senators Bankhead Lucas and others argued against singling out farms for cuts or new taxes while considering processing taxes and a cotton export bounty. The farm bill totals about 1.219 billion, exceeding budget estimates and House votes, with talks focused on subsidy limits and loan stock reductions.
