May Veto Farm Bill If No Compromise Reached
Washington June 13 Reliable Senate sources say President Roosevelt may veto the annual farm appropriation bill unless a Senate House conference committee finds a new basis for compromise. House opposition centers on selling not more than 150 million bushels of surplus government wheat for livestock feed at about 83 cents a bushel and on including 200 million dollars in soil conservation payments before parity payments can be made on several crops. The Senate met administration demands three weeks ago, but the House rejected both provisions and the Senate conferees were instructed to stand fast in negotiations with the House.
