Agriculture Department called program mad at hearings
The Senate appropriations subcommittee hearings on the 1944 agriculture bill quoted Secretary Claud Wickard as saying the year’s food production outlook is fairly good though adverse weather hurt truck crops in some areas. Sen. Clyde Reed accused the department of being programmed with a maze of programs and agencies, warning Congress may wipe it out root and branch. Reed urged immediate reform, while Hutchinson Deputy Admin J B Hutson defended the department amid calls for common sense.
