Morse to Block
Vote Unless
Debate Unlimited
WASHINGTON, July 27 (UP)
Sen. Wayne L. Morse, Oregon,
threatened today to block the ad
ministration drive for a vote this
week on the United Nations char
ter unles unlimited debate is
guaranteed.
Morse told reporters senate re
publicans are solidly determined
"we are not going to let the Dem
ocrats throttle debate." He said
a group of senate Republicans
agreed on the matter at lunch.
Morse recalled Chairman Tom
Connally, D., Tex., of the senate
foreign relations committee im
posed a time limit on his efforts
to speak on the Oregon lamb sit
uation late yesterday. This, Morse
said, is a violation of the princi
ple of unlimited debate.
"Until the Democrats demon
strate an appreciation and respect
for that principle, I shall not con
sent to any unanimous consent
proposal to limit debate or set a
time to vote on the charter,"
Morse said.
New Subsidy Will
Aid Production
Of Lambs, Sheep
WASHINGTON, July 27 (UP)
Secretary of Agriculture Clin
ton P. Anderson announced today
details of a new subsidy program
designed to encourage production
and feeding of lambs and sheep.
Payments will range from $1.50
to $3.15 a 100 pounds on lambs
weighing more than 65 pounds
and will be a flat $1 on all other
lambs and sheep. The program
was authorized under the O'Ma
honey bill passed last week by
congress.
The department said the pub
lic eventually will benefit by an
increased supply of lamb meat,
but warned the increase will not
be immediate because of the time
involved in fattening and produc
ing the animals.
It reported because of high cost
and decreasing profits sheep
growers have been selling flocks
and getting out of business. The
number of stock sheep has de
clined from 50,000.000 to about
41,000,000 in the last three years.
The variation in payments is
intended to increase the returns
from heavier lambs and the larg
est subsidy will be paid during
the season "fed" lambs are nor
mally marketed.
