House Pushes Wheat Bill
Washington AP backers of a wheat bill seek House Rules Committee action early next week. Rep. Carl Albert says the panel will send it to the floor subject to amendment. The bill would mandate a 25 percent cut in wheat acreage and raise price support to 9 percent of parity for 1960 and 1961 crops. Senate provisions keep a 55 million acre base with options for 65, 75, or 80 percent parity supports based on planting or production reductions.
