McNary Backs Roosevelt In Farm Dispute
Washington July 5 Senate Republican Leader McNary of Oregon backed President Roosevelts demand to let the Government sell surplus wheat for livestock feed at about 83 cents a bushel instead of parity, predicting House opposition to a Senate approved farm bill would collapse. He said the House would reverse and vote for the Senate amendment the President supports. The administration argues low grain prices ensure adequate pork beef milk chickens and eggs without heavy subsidies. The dispute centers on grain sales provisions within the Agriculture Department appropriation bill, with current funding gaps and differing House and Senate allocations for farm security and tenancy programs. Senator Russell suggested compromise if grain sales are settled first, and he planned a Senate move for parity loans on several crops, a move McNary opposes.
