Washington, Feb 21. The administration would use full power to block bills seeking higher wheat prices. Opponents say such increases would unravel the food administration's bread program, as current wheat is $2.20 a bushel with government purchases propping up prices for army, navy, and Allies. Officials warn higher prices could force flour and bread price rises, boosting distributor profits while constraining farmer sales and wheat supplies.
