House Farm Leaders Sketch New Price Support Plan
Washington May 20 Farm leaders began drafting a new program to keep much of the present price support system. The group under Rep Pace would likely reject both the Truman administration production payment bill and the Aiken law, aiming for a rigid parity price support framework with possible experimental payments. Pace argued stable prosperity depends on fair parity, while critics call the administration plan a subsidy and oppose government controls. The Aiken law seeks to reduce farm controls and discourage overproduction by lowering support levels and trimming quotas.
