Farmers Striking Farmers Propose Parity Price Plan
James Kramer of Hugoton Kansas denounces farm strike supporters as asking farmers to work at a loss while W D Struckmeyer of Arbuckle California warns the nation faces chaos without prompt solutions. The House hearing room crowd of strike backers heard a plan to raise prices to 100 percent of federal parity. A baking industry official warns such a move would lift food costs and raise unemployment. Gerald McCathern of Hereford Texas says Congress must act or they will push a 50 percent production cut. The White House and Carter indicate limited steps exist within current law to help the farm economy.
