Senators Adlai Stevenson and Charles Percy blasted the Senate passed farm bill now in conference. Stevenson called it a monster and warned flexible parity would push prices high and harm livestock dairy and poultry farmers while starving world markets of wheat and feed grains. Percy supported the bill only if parity was dropped and warned the blend with set asides could fail to feed abroad. Both urged renewed farm export efforts as the sole long term solution.
