Senate Votes 8-7 to Extend 90 Percent Farm Supports One Year
The Senate Agriculture Committee backed a one year continuation of 90 percent price supports for basic crops. The vote split 8 to 7 with Republicans Young Thye Mundt supporting and Humphrey pressing for 80 percent for two years. House likewise rejected flexible supports, maintaining 90 percent for another year. The issue looms large in fall campaigns as Aiken predicts eventual Senate reversal to administration position. Young said a 50-50 chance exists for passage of the Senate bill and similar odds to survive a veto.
