Debates Loom On Farm Measure In Senate
In Washington the Senate may begin debate late today on an election year farm bill opposed by the Eisenhower administration. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Ellender predicted Congress would have a new farm program by Feb 15. Secretary Benson faced sharp questioning from the House Agriculture Committee pleading for the admin plan amid criticism. Chairman Cooley accused Benson of bypassing the committee and urged coordination with attorneys before proposing new authority. Benson said voting around early next week may occur as work continues on the soil bank feature and other farm issues. The calendar also includes Washington’s Farewell Address reading and a probe into lobbying and campaign contributions.
