Agriculture Dept Fund Cut Voted
Washington reports a 12 percent cut in the Agriculture Department budget for the new fiscal year. The House Appropriations Committee approved 720,157,433 dollars, 99,848,113 less than Truman requested and 72,742,267 less than this year. One third of the cut reflects no real saving as a bookkeeping shift. The panel rejected funds to reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation for disease eradication costs, directing debt cancellation instead. Substantial reductions also hit the forest service and self conservation payments.
