...even costlier Senate bill. If President Eisenhower vetoes the conference version, the choice before wheat farmers will remain as it is under present law: 75% of parity with acreage allotments unchanged, or 50% with no acreage controls. And bad as that is, it is certainly better than anything the 86th Congress seems capable of producing...
