House delays final vote on $7.48 billion foreign aid program
Washington reports the House postponed to tomorrow a final vote on a bill authorizing a $7.48 billion military and economic aid program for foreign nations. The delay stemmed from Banking Committee attendance issues over an export import bank provision added by the Senate. The measure, less than the President's request, would fund European, Near East Africa, Asia Pacific, American republics, and Korean reconstruction aid, and replaces the ECA with a new mutual security agency led by a $22,500 yearly director.

Douglas County faces record wheat acreage this fall
Douglas County farm officials anticipate as many as 404000 acres planted to wheat this fall due to a favorable planting season and flood-torn soils needing green cover. Farmers in flooded areas may plant large acreages for soil protection and winter work, aided by plentiful seed in local elevators though certified stock is scarce. New wheat variety 11218, a Kanvale Marquillo Pawnee cross, is being tested and likely to be released next year.
