Senators Would Go Far Farm Bill Review
An informal survey in the senate agricultural committee found only three or four of sixteen members leaning against the far reaching debenture plan of farm relief as an amendment to the administration’s cooperative marketing bill. The house was in brief session to allow Chairman Snell to prepare for consideration. McNary would push the bill soon and the senate planned adjournment until Monday to regroup. The Senate postponed its meeting as McNary prepared to introduce the measure and plan for senate action. Noting the bill’s revenue-raising nature, some argued it must originate in the house, while others doubted that stance.
