Price Support Plan Seen To Aim At Compromise
Washington March 16 The Truman administration is expected to propose a compromise plan to avoid a farm low mood and surpluses. Brannan and aides study flexible supports for non perishables and marketing programs, while some leaders favor wartime rigid supports for cotton wheat corn and other staples at 90 percent of parity. The system would shift next year to 60 to 90 percent of parity with highs during shortages and lows during surpluses.
