Washington Notes on Defense Act and Farm Policy
Representative Paul C. Jones reports Senate action on the Defense Production Act extension to March 1953 and a possible adjournment. He notes House Banking Committee doubt on seizure powers, farm price supports debate at 90 percent parity for six crops, and Farm Bureau opposition mixed with praise. Also covered are military construction funding, federal highway aid, and the Mexico labor agreement amendments extending it to December 31, 1952 with ongoing efforts to reduce wetback labor. The piece cites officials from the Farm Bureau, Brannan, Brannan's 90 percent stance, and Mexican government participation.
