FD R Refuses to Talk With Farm Bloc
Washington March 2 Senator Thomas O Cila said a member of the penal farm bloc had abandoned efforts to obtain a conference with President Epert on parity price legislation. He would not offer an amendment to the $32 762 737 201 military appropriations bill to bar use of funds for purchasing government held crop surpluses at less than parity. The committee could not get an appointment, so talks were dropped. The senate has passed and sent base legislation to curb the commodity credit corporation from disposing of surpluses below parity. A seven member Farm bloc committee led by Senator Bankhead sought to win the president’s withdrawal of opposition to parity. A major issue is increased military pay for servicemen as congress revisits wartime pay needs and base pay scales. The plan would raise basic pay for selectees to 42 a month, reduce the one year 10 percent increase, and boost top pay for senior enlisted and warrant officers to higher levels, costing about 288000 000 annually, with debate on broader army and navy growth.
