Farm Leaders To Drop Parity Plan
Farm bloc leaders in the house plan to defer or drop the parity payments campaign worth more than 200 million dollars. They cite the economy drive and European war uncertainties making additions to the agriculture budget unwise. President Roosevelt had proposed no parity but asked for 500 million for soil conservation and 781 million for agriculture. Congress earlier approved about 1.2 billion for the current year, including 225 million for parity and 200 million for road funds. The House appropriations panel intends to continue cuts, with Subcommittee already trimming over 70 million from the measure. Senator Lucas suggested defense and other outlays could be cut to allow more farm and unemployment aid.
