My personal opinion is that all

be Jumped into one coordinated pro

The Administration admittedly
is unable to control the subsidy
issue at this time. Some farm
state Democrats are siding in with
Republicans and few Republicans

The House has already voted 27s

the Administration as well as some

A companion measure which
Bankhead has introduced in the
Senate provides the same strict

found in the vicinity Of schools. be-
ginning Wednesday. This new po-
icy is to go into effect, according

yards.
