Oh Frabjous Day! Callooh! Callay! Dept. Washington, July 23: President Kennedy says the American people will have an opportunity “to anchor down or sail” in the November elections. Hyannisport, July 28: President Kennedy, at the tiller of the sloop Victura, misses his mooring and runs her into the mud.
The Senate Agriculture Committee has done it again. Last May it rejected the Administration’s authoritarian farm program and wrote one of its own. The Senate in turn rejected that bill, adopted the Kennedy program, and sent it to the House— where it was slapped down handsomely. So: back to the drawing board in the Senate Agriculture Committee, where, on July 25, the Administration farm bill was once more defeated. This time the Administration may have to admit defeat on the floor of the Senate, because, according to one observer, the Senate is “tired” of farm bills. So are the farmers. So are the consumers. So are the creditors of Billie Sol Estes.
