Congress moves toward passage of a farm bill that would let the government maintain agricultural price supports at wartime levels indefinitely. A Senate House conference committee hammered out the measure and set 90 percent parity for basic crops in 1950 with flexibility for future adjustments. It aims to avoid food price changes for consumers while giving Brannan broad production controls if needed.
