Senate backs higher farm price ceilings in 78 to 2 vote
Washington Feb 25 legislation raising ceilings on certain farm product prices sailed through the Senate by 78 to 2 with support from Administration allies and Democratic Leader Barkley. It goes to the House. The measure links ceilings to parity and excludes government benefit payments when setting ceilings, a move that could raise consumer food costs yet aims to ensure farmer returns.

President Roosevelt’s stance on benefit payments drew Senate compromise signals amid grain price tensions. Secretary Wickard warned higher farm prices could drive wage demands as Congress weighs a 48-hour work week and inflation risks.
