Food Subsidy Row Likely To Be Left In Senate's Hands
Washington AP administration leaders showed signs of pushing the food subsidy controversy to the Senate for open debate. Senate leaders pressed to force a floor discussion as the subsidy program faces likely death within a month absent a compromise, with talks centering on preserving parts of the program while ending rollback subsidies. The House backed a CCC extension with no federal funds for subsidies, and both chambers may resist any limited continuation despite Roosevelt urging a cost of food law to stabilize grower prices and curb retail costs.
