Army Deficit and Food Control Bill Highlights
A deficiency appropriation of 28,400,000 for the army on border service is sent by Secretary Baker to the House. A supplemental estimate of 11,250,000 to clothe and garrison 160,000 National Guard for a year begins July 1. Retaining 75,000 guardsmen on the border could push the deficit to 50,000,000. Congress debates stock-market concerns over Wilson notes and a pressuring finance inquiry. The Humphrey food control bill advances, with 45,000,000 for Mississippi valley works and 5,600,000 for the Sacramento river. The House passed five government supply measures before adjournment for Christmas.
