Senate votes for veterans pension increases and 1953 budget plan
The Senate advanced an increase in income limits for veterans with non service connected disabilities and approved the army civil functions appropriations bill with 492 million for 1953. The House had passed the measures earlier, including funding for the engineers, Panama Canal, and quartermaster corps, while rejecting Tuttle Creek reservoir funds amid flood concerns. The agricultural committee trimmed requests to 724 million and urged stronger conservation to avert a 1975 food shortage, opposing Farm Bureau cuts.
