House Sidetracks Drive on Budget
Washington March 4. The House approved a 10 million expenditure to import foreign farm laborers, overriding Dirksen's call for economy. The measure keeps the Agriculture department program through December 31, aiming to prevent crop-year disruption as about 80,000 seasonal workers last year came from Mexico and the Bahamas. The plan joins a broader budget fight with a 6 billion dollar cut and tax debates, as a conference committee is formed. In Erie, five farmers using tractors cleared 15-foot snowdrifts to reach a hospitalized expectant mother, Ida Losey, who soon gave birth to a son.
