Potatoes and Gravy Cost Eaters More This Year
The 1964 potato crop was the smallest in seven years, cutting supplies and driving up prices. USDA reports 1.3 million harvested acres, down 25 million 100-pound bags from the five year average. No. 1 Oregon Klamaths cost 79 cents for a five pound bag in San Francisco. Idaho russet bakers cost 20 cents a pound. Potato brokers warn prices remain high before new crops arrive.

Senate ready to pass Johnson education bill with clause on church aid
Senate leaders expect to send to President Johnson a $1.3 billion school aid bill after two days of debate. An Ervin amendment would require judicial review of aid to parochial schools, a move opposed by Morse and Javits who warn it could derail the measure. The House already approved the bill, and the committee tightened language to ensure aid to parochial schools flows through public schools.
