Nixon's Vote Keeps Flexible Wheat Parity Narrowly
In a 46 to 45 Senate vote Vice President Nixon narrowly saved the administration’s flexible farm price support for wheat, defeating a higher rigid level. The tally contrasted with a 441 vote on cotton and peanut supports the previous day, with 34 Republicans and 1 Democrat in support and 14 Republicans and 34 Democrats opposing. The result blocks a rigid quality standard and sparked hours of parliamentary debate led by Senator Gore, who vowed to continue the challenge. If the House concurs, the wheat support would stay at 1.81 per bushel instead of rising to about 2.26 for the current crop.
