Economy Axe Falls Despite Anderson's Plea
The House appropriations committee cut 32 percent from the Agriculture department in a bill totaling $805,143,576 for the new fiscal year. The panel sliced $383,427,742 from Truman’s budget estimates, funding a leaner agriculture program and limiting farm aid and loan authorizations while arguing selective reductions reflect future needs. Secretary Anderson warned reductions would impair essential farm services, but the committee insisted the figures are rock bottom minimums and cited 1940–46 asset growth to support cuts.
