Urge Halt To Cuts Upsets Farm Belt Congressmen
Farm belt lawmakers push to reverse the Nixon administration plan to cancel advance payments to farmers for idling extra land in livestock feed programs. Sen. Robert Dole leads a letter to Agriculture Secretary Hardin, with bids for broad GOP and Democratic support when Congress reconvenes. The measure would impact up to 400 million dollars annually, funding planting time for incomes. The National Farmers Union says withholding payments would raise borrowing costs for spring operations.

Senate To Open Hearings On The Pill
Washington AP reports Senate hearings on birth control pills will begin next week as part of a broader election year push on consumer protection. Democratic strategists aim to expose Nixon proposals while shaping them with amendments and related bills. Senator Gaylord Nelson chairs the subcommittee and will hear 18 doctors and researchers over five days about pills used by 85 million Americans and 10 million others. He notes many patients are not told of potential risks. Two other consumer committees face upcoming hearings on packaging laws and product guarantee standards, with incumbents hoping for favorable political impact.
