New Dairy
Prop Program

The Senate refused 70-13 to-
day to tack a new milk and
dairy products control and sup
port program into its pending
general farm bill.
Moving toward final action
on the measure, it defeated an
effort by Senator's Proxmire,
Democrat of Wisconsin, and
Humphrey, Democrat of Min
neSota, to include a new dairy
program.
They proposed an increase
of 81 cents a hundredweight in
the present milk supports of
$3.11 for dairy producers who
hold production to last years
levels.
Senator Ellender, Democrat
Of Louisiana, floor manager for
the bill. opposed the dairy
amendment. calling it another
temporary move which would
be costly to the Government.

argued that the new proposal

the bill strong new control
programs over production and
