Increased Coverage For Federal Crop Insurance Urged
Paul C. Jones notes House leadership urged prompt action on ten bills including crop insurance, housing, Alaska statehood, rural telephone legislation, and pay raises. The House passed H R 3825 expanding the Federal Crop Insurance Act and a joint committee to probe lobbying. A Southeast Missouri focus remains as Scott County currently applies crop insurance. The discussion stems from historic reform in 1947 and aims to broaden coverage by up to 50 percent. The pace of debate and upcoming Southeast Missouri Press Association event may delay further action.
