Senate Agriculture Committee approved a compromise farm bill acceptable to President Eisenhower.

The plan increases cotton and corn acreage limits and expands foreign crop disposal funds while leaving grazing land provisions to Benson.

He sent an informal ruling to Milwaukee County District Attorney William J. McCauley, who had argued the law was invalid. Thomson asserted the legislature can treat unions like corporations for regulating political contributions and that the law’s stated purpose is clearly constitutional.
