Wallace in hot water over wheat loans
Washington reports Secretary Wallace and agricultural planners face trouble from the 1940 farm act requiring loans at 2 to 75 percent of old parity. Calculations yield a parity price of 1.15 dollars per bushel, forcing loans no lower than 69 cents while market prices run around 64 cents. Critics warn pegging above world prices risks federal losses and huge wheat stocks.
