Parity cost rise sparks farm policy clash in Congress
A split emerged among state lawmakers over Pace’s parity bill to raise farm parity by about 31 percent. Rep Pace's plan would lift wheat parity to 2.02 dollars per bushel, cotton to 28.4 cents, and corn to 1.47 dollars, drawing opposition from Kansas Agriculture Committee member Hope who warned of controls and regimentation. The House Agriculture Committee approved the measure, aiming for a floor vote, as others supported the plan during postwar talks. Separately, William Clyde Berring was discharged from the Navy at New Orleans after service since 1944 in Portland, Maine and New Orleans assignments.
