Senator Umstead Opposes ' In Appropriations For Agricultural Program ?-L1 Protesting House-approved slashes in agricultural appropriations, Sena tor William B. Urastead has urged the Senate to restore the funds and present action "which will seriously cripple and may well destroy the ef forts of a generation in building a sound, helpful and sensible agricul tural program." s ? , < . In a speech delivered on the Sen ate floor last week, Umstead led a Democratic attack on Republican ef forts to reduce agricultural appro priations for 1948 by $341,000,000. The Senate appropriations committee was scheduled to consider the meas ure this week. Urn stead tokl the Senate that he was raised on a tobacco farm and had first-hand knowledge of the hardships and problems of farm life. "I was a farmer when we had no real farm program," he said. "I know by experience and observation what these things have meant to the rural people of -North Carolina and to the nation. It would be a tragedy to this generation and an utter disre gard for the generations to come for this program to be destroyed." < While Senator Clyde R. Hoey and other Democratic senators listened in agreement, Umstead attacked the following reductions in agricultural appropriations made by the Republi can-controlled House: 1. Agricultural conservation pro: gram was slashed from $300,000,000 to $166,000,000. Congress authorised the Department of Agriculture list fall to develop a <300,000,000 gram. A redaction in thitwe will eat payments already pt fanners and will curtail administrat tion of the law. 2. Soil conservation service, in cluding the agency's land utilisation program, had its 1+udget figure,>.of $44,860,000 reduced by about <6,000, ooo. 3. Agricultural research's budget request was reduced ahrtrply .from $19,000,000 to <9,000,000. 4. Rural electrification suffered a reduction of about <26,600,000. 6. U. S. Forest Service received $3,332,109 less than its budget re quest, 6. The Farmers Home Administra tion requested <36,000,000 for pur chase loans, all of which was denied. .The budget estimate of <90,000,000 ?-for production and administration expense dueed about <4^000,000. 1. The school lunch program, which provides surplus commodities for school lunch menus, had its bud get request of <76,000,000 cutto <45, 000,000. His sum will ptodwtu only $35,000,006 for food WltLIAM H. WORSLEY Funeral services for William H. Wore ley, 84, who died in a Rocky Mount hospital.
