Deadlock Among Food Conferees Persists in Washington
Washington July 84 The conferees on the administration food bill failed to break their deadlock on war expenditures with Senate opposition and potential White House conflict. A motion to strike out a pending provision drew support, while discussions suggested the Senate may concede later to a full report to the House. A recess paused talks as leaders weighed risks of rejecting the conference report if the provision is eliminated. The panel also removed a provision authorizing government seizure of pipe lines for defense, kept the power for the president to seize oil lines, and left intact a new wheel price fixing board subject to reconsideration.
