House Still Rejects Parity Pay
The House refused to back parity payments for the 1943 and 1944 crops and rejected the Agriculture Department crop insurance program despite Senate changes. It approved a 3.5 million dollar liquidation allotment, with Rep. Dirksen noting 41 million in government losses since the program began. The dispute ties to farm bloc opposition to price control laws and parity payments intended to raise farm prices to parity with 1909-14 levels.
