Senate passes McNary-Haugen bill to aid farmers
The Senate voted 53 to 23 to approve the McNary-Haugen farm bill proposing a $400 million revolving fund to withhold surpluses under a stabilization plan. It faces likely veto in the White House and uncertain two-thirds support in the House. The bill creates a 13 member farm board and authorizes up to $50 million in loans to co operatives for warehouses and orderly marketing.
