Senate rejects McNary plan to limit farm bill to 1938 40
In Washington the Senate voted 51 to 25 against Senator McNary of Oregon to limit operation of the farm bill to three years 1938 40. Senator Pope contended the proposal would injure the program while McNary called it an emergency measure.

Administration leaders seek to overturn the wheat ruling and press for final passage perhaps Thursday.
