House Offers Compromise on Farm Supports
In Washington the administration pressed a compromise on farm price supports amid a House division over policy. Rep Harrison with Republican backing proposed 80 to 90 percent parity supports through 1955, aiming to keep the president’s flexible scheme while yielding to mandatory high supports from opponents. Peanut futures sparked clashes as a 159 vote defeated a move to strip peanuts from rigid 90 percent parity. The debate foreshadows a broader showdown on the farm program and price support during surplus periods.
