Early Returns Indicate Wheat Plan In Trouble
Early results from a national referendum on Kennedy's 1964 wheat program show New England and Midwest farmers voting against the plan while Southern growers support it. With 51 397 yes and 77 165 no votes and 9 248 challenged, the outcome hinges on a two thirds approval to take effect. The vote split underscores conflict between the administration and the Farm Bureau over wheat surpluses and farm government control.
