At a hearing attended by Byrnes.” Dr. “Jen” Balbraith of OPA and y; Marvin Jones, agricultural adviser to EJconomic Stabilizer Byrnes, witness after witness testified, to , the low nun-ale among farmers. They blamed this on uncertainty ^ and alarm over the effects of whst P they termed ‘‘unworkable ^ etlicts”. "I’m not sure whether ■ Mr. Byrnes has reached a decision”, Galbraith retorted. At this point Jones interjected with the assertion that “Pm sure that nothing has been decided by price “Price oroers coming out of t^shington”, they asserted, “have otulted in sharp reductions in iMg breeding- and livestock pro- auction regardless of what so- called figures may show”.

Secty. qf Agriculture G.'over Hill was present but did not state the attitude of the I>e- partment in the controversy.'FAct that the dispute had gone to the Economic Stabilizer to settle led to the conclusion that USDA was opposed to OPA on the matter both- of live hog ceilings and to ceilings for livestock generally. Reading a definite statement, agreed upon at a meeting of the National Livestock Committee the previous evening, P. O. Wilson, its secretary, said: “Farm prices tiday are not inflationary when compared to industrial wages a,id urofits . . . Inflation will not lose he war.

Goss, Master of the National Grange, told the hearing: “Grading livestock in the field is impossible. . . Abundant production is the best weapon against inflation, and you are not going to get it by any such proposals as these put for ward by OP.A.”. Driven into a earner DV the to! rent of objections. Galbraith turned to the Price Control Act as authority for the projected ceil ing. He was promptly challeng ed. It was pointed out to him that the law contained the proviso that ceilings shon'd be adjusted to maintain neces.'ary p-oduction. However, at weekend concensus of opinion was that live animal ceil ings were on their way regardles.s of the evidence put foi-ward by rl'a producers. LE.ADERS MEET PRESTDEN'T —Meeting with the President in a conference at the White House, farm leaders Babcock and Benson (National Coop Council) and Goss (Nat. Grange) discussed manpow- to tiMz eafaunn: *.,1, “I’ve never knetirn a who iru a cowerd fr -a thicker.

PACE BILL PASSED Passage in the House' of the Paefe Bill (cost-of-all-fann-labor- in-parity) brought an acoisation from Refp. Dirksen (Rep. 111.) that enactment) of this lenslation inio law would* raise Hvmg costs, 46 per cent. Informed economists, who have made a.careful study of the bill, declare such a statement is unfounded. They say the error is due to the misconception that the Pace measure would raise t!>e price of all commodities, while, as a matter of fact, nearly one-half are already above parity and would not be affected. On the other hand, the commodities now below parity are so far below that raising their price ceilings would be meanini ess. Informed sources said this showred clearly that the present parity formula is outmoded. V James M.

SPRING MADNESS APPEARS Rumors that 12 ration points would be taken from books for^ each pound of sugar bought for! canning were popping in from, all sides during the week; Care-| ful check with topmost officials proved these whispers to be far from groundless. OPA, these of-i ficials admitted, had such a! scheme cooking. Much pressu'e' from men who knew how disas trous such an order would be, both in terms of food conserving and housewives’ morale, was being ap- p'ied to put a stop to what was called “this new spring madness”. However, at press time no assur ance had been obtained that such an order would not be issued. Commodity Credit Chief Hutson agreed with a Senate Agricultural sub committee that “the corn freeze, due to the $1.00 (approxi mate) ceiling, is the most critical s't iation in the country today”.
