Dairy Co op Ownership Bill Blocked by Protests
Washington dairy operators and the administration halted Senate action on a bill shielding farm co operatives from antitrust laws. Democratic sponsors Long Louisiana and McCarthy Minnesota back the measure but faces strong Democratic opposition and concerns over restraint on competition. The bill would protect groups like the Maryland Virginia Milk Producers Association though a district court ruling had already limited its reach.

Senate Debates Co op Antitrust Floor Plan
The Senate will weigh a farm co op plan backed by Senator Long to allow co operatives to acquire existing dairies while officials urge hearings. Senator Kefauver and Senator Hart support hearings with caution on antitrust safeguards as Senator McCarthy favors a cautious approach. The Justice Department and four area dairies argue against broader exemptions. Also, polio aid rush to Des Moines and other cities and President Eisenhower to spend weekend at Gettysburg farm.
