Brannan Plan Dies in House as Aiken Plan Is Also Killed
The House rejected the Brannan plan and the Aiken plan, signaling a return to wartime price supports at 90 percent of parity. Brannan’s reply ordered a 34 state wheat production cut to shrink the 1950 crop, with reductions ranging from Colorado to Indiana and an average 17 percent. Farmers must trim winter wheat plantings to share in federal benefits if 90 percent parity remains.

United States Ratifies North Atlantic Pact in Senate Vote
The Senate approved the North Atlantic Pact by 82 to 13, signaling a major shift in U.S. foreign policy toward collective security. The measure, praised for bipartisan support and led by Sen. Vandenberg, commits signatory nations to defend one another against aggression and establishes conditions for military aid and consultation. Some opposition argued about reservations, but the pact stands as a concrete step beyond the Kellogg Briand framework, aiming to deter future conflicts and illustrate U.S. global responsibility.

New Plan Aims at U.S. Economic Slump With Spot Therapy
President Truman unveiled a new program of pump priming to combat unemployment, with a July 25 meeting in Boston to coordinate New England efforts. A day later a bipartisan Senate group introduced the Employment Expansion Act of 1949 proposing a similar surge in federal spending to target areas hardest hit, though action before the recess appeared unlikely. The measure creates an unemployment emergency reserve fund of 2.2 billion and outlines three aid paths including contracts, loans, and grants to stimulate recovery. Truman also launched a regional plan using existing powers to accelerate approved projects without new public works outlays, with Sawyer selecting areas and Dr. John R. Steelman directing the effort.
