House Refuses Farm Bill From Senate in Price Supports Fight
The House rejects the Senate bill establishing a flexible price supports system. A House Senate conference committee will negotiate a compromise amid a rugged power struggle between chambers. Both sides tie parity to 90 percent for major crops, with the Senate proposing parity in 1950 at 90 percent and adjustments for hired hands. The endgame hinges on Congressional action and a possible Aiken act compromise.
