Farm Bill Acceptable to Ike Goes to Senate
The House passed a farm bill 314 to 211 184 largely along party lines clearing the way to Senate action.

The pay-in-advance provision faced defeat as Democrats branded it a vote buying gimmick though other parts of the bill advanced and surplus disposal authorizations totaling 500 and 200 million were included.
