Two Million Overpayment Found in Cheese Subsidies
The U S comptroller general ruled the Agriculture Department made unauthorized payments totaling two million dollars to cheese distributors in March and April 1954. Chairman Fountain urged Secretary Benson to recover the funds, noting the transactions were illegal though urging careful action to avoid improper accusations of officials. The scheme used purchase-resale-transactions at old and new support rates, with cheese largely staying in distributors warehouses.
