This is the war ning of Sen. George D. Aiken (R-Vt.) ranking minority member of the Senate agriculture committee. “We cannot look for lower priccj now. There’s no doubt that under this ‘compromise’, the general price level will remain high,” he observed emphatically. Aiken’s warning came after Senate and House conferees agreed on ex tending farm supports for another two years at 80 or 90 percent of par ity before tapering them off grad ually to 75 percent. The agreement dissipated pros pects of a deadlock on farm legisla tion in this session which would au tomatically have put into effect the Aiken law scaling price supports downward to 60 percent of parity. However, Senator Aiken, who lists himself as a farmer in {he congres sional director, says that the new parity compromise will be hard on the nation’s farmers: “If strict controls over production contemplated in the bill are enforced it probabily won’t be too hard on the taxpayers. It will be harder on the farmers. They will have to buc kle down under the controls.” Aiken said that he could not es timate how much the continued high J-j supports will cost taxpayers next year, but he added that it didn't mat- ter because "the money is almost gone, anyway.” The $4,37,000.000 which the Cam- modity Credit corporation was given by Congress will all be obligated on price supports by the end of the year, he explained. , •; "It is this crop year that is going ♦.♦ to be hard on farmers,” Aiken stres- «w»v#«w«««w»«*•, sect.
