Economy Bloc Hurdles Farm Loan Clash in Senate
Washington March 28 United Press reports a battle looming between the senate economy and farm blocs over the 1943 agriculture supply bill. Econom y leaders aim to cut normal expenditures to fund the war program and seek elimination of farm security and tenant loans. Agriculture leaders pledge a defense against budget balancing at farmers expense, warning of possible elimination of farm conservation and parity payments for the duration. Senate leaders seek a compromise to restore some of the $48.5 million trimmed recently, with Byrd urging elimination of $25 million for FSA rehabilitation and suspending the tenant loan program. The bill totals $771,555,137 as approved by the house, with Byrd pressing for full enactment of committee cuts totaling over $400 million amid farm bloc opposition and uncertain scheduling.
