President Eisenhower signed a bill raising butterfat and manufacturing milk price supports, despite warning it conflicts with long standing policy. The measure, sponsored by Senator John F. Kennedy, would set floors of 59.6 cents per pound for butterfat and 3.22 per hundredweight for manufacturing milk, but expires March 31 and may do little for or harm to dairy farmers. Eisenhower noted the move as a campaign year action and said the next administration must address the dairy issues.
