Stabilization of Prices Is Threatened by Bankhead and Pace Bills
Washington March 25 Price Administrator Prentiss Brown warned that the pending Bankhead and Pace farm bills would end stabilization prices and wages. He said the measures would raise retail food prices 17 to 18 percent, lift consumer annual food outlays by about 3.75 billion dollars, and cost the government an additional 1.25 billion yearly. Brown urged Congress to reject the bills. The report notes the Bankhead bill would remove government parity payments for agricultural products, while Pace would raise parity prices through a change in the rarity formula.

The final worker left the Sandy Hook Md project Sunday as blasting and clearing ended. Delays and losses from 1941 to 1942 floods and wartime material shortages pushed costs toward 20000 to 30000 dollars. Weather, high water, and ship shortages halted progress and moved equipment to Virginia. The Harpers Ferry situation is cited as a similar example of unfinished river crossings. Associate Judge Patrick M. Schnauffer opened the Montgomery county criminal court term in Rockville.
