Senators Back the Farm Bills Passage of landmark farm price support bill
The Senate approved a sweeping farm bill by a large margin after weeks of debate. The plan ties price supports to parity levels ranging 90 to 50 percent for main crops and 70 to 90 percent for dairy and other commodities as part of a compromise with the House. Administration officials argue the flexible system curbs surplus but faces opposition in Congress. The vote totals showed strong party lines with 44 Republicans and 18 Democrats supporting the measure while several Republicans and independents opposed. The final passage leaves key differences to conference committee before final enactment.

Senate Passes Bill Granting Immunity to Subversive Witnesses
The Senate approved a House version of a bill to grant immunity from federal prosecution to witnesses whose testimony is sought in subversion investigations. The measure, backed by Sen. McCarran, passed by voice vote with only Sen. Lehman dissenting on process. It lets federal courts and grand juries grant immunity to obtain testimony while preserving Fifth Amendment protections, with contempt penalties for noncooperation.
