Senate Fight Over Soil Conservation Payments
The Senate moved into a dispute over soil conservation payments to farmers after a Democratic win for larger allotments. The Russell amendment boosted payments to 1,000,000 for the 1949 crop year, passing 41 to 38 with three Republicans crossing party lines. The broader farm bill would total 1,201,597,405 for the fiscal year starting July 1, with House support at 225,009,000 for the fund. Senator Young signaled a plan to restore the prior payment formula, arguing it would shift funds toward northern and western states at the expense of the southeast.

Dismiss Ban On Steel Sale In Milwaukee Depot
Federal Judge Ian P. Barnes dismissed a temporary restraining order blocking the War Assets Administration from offering 1,300 tons of steel at the Milwaukee depot. Wagner Iron Works and Wagner Engineering of Milwaukee claimed 1,800 tons were theirs and had argued the WAA had a contract to deliver 5,000 tons. The assistant U. S. attorney argued the WAA is part of the U. S. government and cannot be sued.
