Farm Debate Set for Next Congress Over Farm Legislation
Washington observers expect a heated fight when Congress convenes January 3 over farm policy. President Truman will push for the Brannan farm subsidy plan as part of a broader price support program shaping the 1950 elections.

Brannan plan draws fire from senators and farm groups
The Brannan plan to prop up farm prices with government funds faces strong opposition. Senators Taft and Wherry label it fraudulent and a swindle, while Democratic leaders Lucas and Anderson defend it as a vast improvement and a balanced path. Major farm groups also denounce the proposal, with the National Grange describing it as an internal cancer threatening free enterprise.

Long shortage of water seen in New York
New York faces a long era of water scarcity after an emergency conference of city and state officials. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey said shortages are likely until mid-1950s unless drastic action is taken. Plans to tap the Hudson for 100 million gallons daily face seven months of delay and uncertain feasibility, with a Delaware River project planned to deliver 100 million by 1952 and up to 440 million gallons daily four years later.

Tung Price Support Will Be Discussed
Officials of the tung industry and federal representatives will meet next Wednesday in Gulfport to discuss the new 60 percent parity price support program for the 1949 crop. The fats and oils branch of the Agriculture Department will be represented by Robert M. Walsh and Howard A. Akers. The industry seeks a parity based on 90 percent extraction, but growers say their best extraction is about 87 percent and prefer a loan system over purchase.
