Braun, Bosworth and Co. was dismissed as fiscal agent. the firm offered to buy anticipated notes bearing interest at 2 1/4 percent, maturing in one year. they also proposed to submit the bond plan to Moody’s for rating at no charge. An emergency ordinance put the agreements into effect. The firm reserved the right to renegotiate interest if rates rise before delivery. A levy on taxable property will fund the project.

Democratic Leader Attacks Benson Farm Control Plan
Rep. Harold D. Cooley, Democrat from North Carolina, denounced Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson for proposing across the board acreage cuts and new crop controls as a move to “blackmail” farmers and make himself a “czar.” Benson set next year’s national wheat allotment at 55 million acres, the lowest under current law, and tied eligibility for price supports to compliance with crop acreage quotas. The plan targets basic crops across the board, with 12.7 percent cuts for the 1955 wheat crop, and affects farmers with at least 10 acres. Cooley warned of possible amendments to block the plan, while Committee Chair Hope anticipated a one-year parity support extension.

Mundt Seeks Key Issues for Army McCarthy Report
Acting Chairman Karl Mundt urged Senate Investigations subcommittee members to submit brief lists of key issues for the Army McCarthy hearings report. He said the lists would guide Special Counsel Ray Jenkins in preparing the forthcoming 36 day inquiry findings, noting unanimity on some points is unlikely. He listed ten or fewer issues, including the original charges by the Army that McCarthy and aides threatened favorable treatment for Pvt. G. David Schine and McCarthy’s countercharge that the Army tried to blackmail him.
