Senate Opens Sugar Tariff Fight in Congress
The Senate votes to consider the tariff bill as Democrats split over duties. Senator Pat Harrison proposes keeping the present duty of 1.76 cents, while Senator Ransdell argues for 2.40 cents to aid cane and beet sugar growers facing Cuban overproduction. The dispute highlights farm relief versus consumer costs. Separately, GOP senators realign committee posts with La Follette and Thomas gaining key seats, signaling a Young Guard influence shift.
