Nixon Likely to Veto Farm Bill Over Advance Payments Clause
Administration sources say President Nixon would veto any new farm bill if Congress includes a provision forcing advance government payments to farmers who sign up in crop programs. The Senate omnibus bill would require timely payments within 60 days, a measure not in the House version. Separately, a $37,000 campaign fund for Rep. Edward A. Garmatz rose with support from a seamen's union arm under indictment for illegal contributions.
