Farm bill fights fade as opponents lift beat
Washington opponents of government crop controls faced a bash from Johnson Administration farm legislation moving toward final approval. The measure, described as the largest farm bill, could cost 15 to 20 billion dollars over four years and drew surprisingly little opposition in Congress. Farm Bureau President Charles B. Shuman predicted costs may force Congress and the White House to seek alternatives as the program uses payments to wheat, feed grains and cotton growers to hold down production.

Louisiana Has Trouble Paying National Guard
The Hurricane Betsy emergency in Louisiana strained the National Guard budget. A $300,000 bill exceeded the Guard treasury, prompting the state Board of Liquidation of State Debt to provide $100,000 and to redirect surplus funds totaling $200,000 via the Public Works Department and state treasurer. The piece also covers Navy personnel visiting the Kretchmer and a near-mazard collision with the Castor during a hot South China Sea deployment.
