The board reported the acre
age planted to winter wheat at

Billion-Pins J Measure Is
Landsllded; Economy ;.
Attempts Buried
m
WASHINGTON, May 12-dP-Thrusting
aside all attempts to
economize on government outlays
for the farmer, the senate passed
record-breaking 11,218.666.672
farm bill today by a top-heavy
61 to 14 vote.
The b:g annual supply bill now
goes back to the house for an ex
pected battle about the $382,447,-
959 Increases made by the senate
over the total previously voted by
the house.
Rep. Wood rum (D-Va), n leader
among the house economy advo
cates, predicted a lively fight
against the scores of senate in
creases.
Economy-minded senators made
two futile attempts to trim the to
tal of the measure which carries
funds to operate the department
of agriculture and farm credit ad
ministration for the fiscal year be-
glnnjng July 1.
The final vote found omy n
republicans and 2 democrats
against the measure. 'Voting in
favor were 49, democrats. 8 re
publicans, S farmer-la boritee and
the only progressive and indepen
dent senators.
Senator McNary (R-Ore), the
republican leader, pointed out that
many ot the funds In the big bill
were not exclusively for benefit of
the farmer. He mentioned the
more than 1200,000,000 for fed
eral highway aid, the weather
bureau, and other services under
the agriculture department.

MIf we go on damning every

continued. "And X think those In
Washington who are erring about
getting South American trade and
keeping out Germany and Italy are
all wet. South American culture,

Tha United States in Robert
