Kennedy proposes new farm plan after bill failure
Washington AP Kennedy plans to propose new farm legislation to replace the omnibus bill killed Thursday by the House. Rep. Victor Wickersham said Kennedy signaled a later-year program with no details. The House vote 215 to 205 blocked a plan to tighten wheat and feed grain controls and reduce surpluses. the Senate had approved a similar measure. If no new law passes, controls revert to the 1958 Benson program. Republican criticisms followed, with Halleck calling the bill regimentation and ruin for farmers.
