House panel OKs hike in farm support programs
The House Agriculture Committee approved a bill by 19 to 6 to raise minimum loan levels for wheat and feed grains by at least 25 percent for 1971 and 1972, linking to reserve stock program decisions. Key sponsors cite higher income support while opposition from the Nixon administration argues new loan-rate basis clashes with existing set aside laws. The bill would set wheat at 1.56 dollars per bushel and corn at 1.23 dollars, and mirrors earlier Agriculture Act provisions. Separate Danville, Illinois gun thefts led to roadblocks as deputies hunted two suspects, Kendall and Tiffin, who escaped from an Indiana jail.
