Cannon Promises To Fight Deep Cuts Proposed For Agriculture
Rep. Cannon of Missouri vows to oppose a 32 percent reduction in Truman budget requests for 1948. He says Republicans are forcing farmers to the lions and will lead a Democratic fight when the bill is debated. Rep. Gore warns the issue could influence next year’s elections as GOP plans cut agriculture funding to about 6 billion dollars of the 37.5 billion dollar total. The committee slashed farm tenant aid soil conservation school lunch and crop insurance programs and rejected funds for soil payments for the 1948 crop year.
