Fresh Demand for Subsidies to Roll Back Food Prices
Continued from page one, leaders push subsidies to defray cost of rolling back retail food prices. Albert Goss of the National Grange signs onto opposition, claiming the plan disguises an aim to raise labor wages.

Byrnes argues puncturing ceilings risks inflation, while George Ga. notes canners cannot pay war-plant wages due to ceilings.
