Folsom Declares Senate Social Security Bill Sound
Secretary of Welfare Folsom said the Senate Finance Committee bill is essentially sound and improved over the House version. It lowers the widows retirement age to 62 and covers about 200,000 more people, while rejecting House provisions for a large tax increase and broader benefits. The Eisenhower administration opposed those provisions. The Senate is set to take up the bill next week.

Livestock prices are expected to stay higher due to reduced production, while costs rose about three quarters of a percent. The gains carry political implications as Democrats critique farm policies and Republicans view rising prices favorably.
