Revision Of Parity Upward Now Unlikely
Washington reports indicate the House may forego an upward parity revision in the antiinflation bill after Roosevelt’s disapproval. The Farm group is undecided, while House Agriculture Chairman Fulmer urges parity to include farm labor costs but seeks no new act language. A Senate subcommittee will meet to decide on parity base amendments, with House Rules to set timing for Tuesday. Leaders anticipate final enactment by October 1, and committees emphasize parity must cover all production costs, including labor, to avoid food shortages for armed forces and civilians amid inflation concerns.
