House passes four-year farm bill 205-203

c. 1981 N.Y. Times WASHINGTON - After two hurs of emotional debate, the House of Representatives Wednesday night passed a new fouryear farm bill that no member supported with any enthusiasm. By the razor-thin margin of only two votes, a House-Senate conference report was adopted, 205-to-203. The Senate has already accepted the report and it will now go to President Reagan, who has indicated he will sign it, even though its cost is about S2OO million more than the administration had wanted. -Despite the new measure’s

Crane says Van Orden legally sane

COLUMBUS, Ind. (AP) - Jurors in the murder trial of Julie Van Orden were expected to hear final arguments from the defense and prosecution today.

Ms. Van Orden has admitted shooting Lloyd and that the gunshot wounds resulted in his death. Lloyd was taken off life support systems at an Evansville hospital March 21,1980. Ms. Van Orden, however, pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. She has been undergoing treatment at Madison State Hospital. Testimony at the trial in Bar-

price, more than sll billion for commodity aid over the four years, farm state members from both parties insisted it would push many of their constituents into bankruptcy or at least to damaging losses of income. Urban area members also condemned the bill, charging that its peanut and sugar sections would raise consumer prices for those commodities. But enough of those present as the House struggled to adjourn for the holidays heeded the Democratic whip, Rep. Thomas Foley of Washington, who argued that the measure

Dr. Karleen Hammitt, medical director at Madison State, agreed with two psychiatrists who testified earlier that Ms. Van Orden was insane at the time of the shooting. Dr. David G. Crane, a prosecution witness said Ms. Van Orden was “having significant problems” but was legally sane at the time. Crane, a Martinsville psychiatrist, said Ms. Van Orden “still had an appreciation of the wrongfulness of the act.” He said that in reaching his opinion he considered Ms. Van

Its total cost was about $5 billion less than the bill originally passed by the House in October. But it continues grain and cotton subsidies, which Agriculture Secretary John R.

Block originally opposed. It also includes a sugar price support program and continues marketing quotas for peanuts, two sections Reagan had at first opposed and then withdrew that opposition in exchange for Southern Democratic votes on his budget and tax bills. For consumers, the new farm law will bring a slight increase in milk prices next October and successive increases in the following three years. By resuming a sugar price support program, in abeyance since 1978, the bill also has the potential of raising sugar prices by four or five cents per pound

next fall. The measure raises the price support level on peanuts by about SIOO per ton on the 1982 crop, insuring an increase in peanut prices next year. But it also eliminates current planting restrictions on this crop,and could gradually increase the supply during the next four years, offering some hope that user prices for peanuts would level off in the later years. Price support loan levels and the levels of subsidies on wheat, corn, cotton, and rice will all be raised, though not enough to satisfy farm state members.

Congress finally heads for home

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Congress that gave President Reagan what he wanted all year long went home today for Christmas, adjourning until 1982 after voting to restore the $122-a-month minimum Social Security benefit and bestow a tax break on its own members. “We gave the president of the United States everything he wanted,” in 1981, House Speaker Thomas P. O’Neill, DMass., said a few hours before the session ended Wednesday. He referred to the unprecedented tax and spending cuts Reagan won several months ago. For the Senate, the end came at 10:28 p.m. EST. The House closed its doors almost an hour later after passing a bill to block Mobil Oil’s attempted takeover of Marathon Oil for six months. The 223-107 vote sent the measure to the Senate for consideration next year. Long gone in the final hours of the session were the spring and summer’s tumultuous battles over spending and tax cuts. In their place were major bills dealing with farm price supports, foreign aid and highway construction. All passed and were sent to Reagan. But first, there was a gift to members of Congress a more generous tax deduction for senators and representatives with a second home in the Washington area. At the last minute, the Senate also directed the Internal Revenue Service to determine how much lawmakers may deduct without showing any proof. The House, which passed the basic tax deduction measure Tuesday, accepted the additional provision with little debate.

It was the second financial break House members had voted themselves in two days. On Tuesday they decided to double the maximum amount they may receive each year in honoraria to 30 percent of their salary, or $18,198. For 3 million Social Security recipients there was a bill to restore the $122-a-month minimum benefit that both houses voted earlier this year to abolish. Most future retirees will be denied the mininum benefit under the bill, but those who have been getting it will continue to. Without the reversal, the February payment would have been their last. In another major action of the day, the House bowed to White
