Parties Clash Over Farm Bill Delays in Senate Action
Washington March 17 Republicans and Democrats traded accusations over delaying the election year farm bill. Sen Cotton charged a Democratic conspiracy to prolong consideration while Sen Ellender blamed Republicans for the holdup. Ellender said he aimed to bring the bill to President Eisenhower by Feb 15 and criticized a 10 day recess taken for political speeches. He warned delaying the soil bank program reduces farmer participation as planting moves ahead in the South. Senate recess followed St Patrick’s Day political engagements and prospects to vote Monday dimmed. Majority Leader Johnson shifted focus to 194 other bills by unanimous consent. The Senate has defeated efforts to junk the administration’s 1954 price supports.
