DROPS IN PRICES
OF FOOD UNLIKELY
WITH REVISED BILL
Washington — Congressional pas
sage of the compromise farm-price
support bill will doom prospects for
lower food prices in the United
States “indefinitely". 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. I n6 v ermont sencitor, wno su-
thorized the Aiken law last year
when he was agriculture committee £•
- chairman, said the new bill from his j*j
standpoint had but one great redeem
ing feature.
•*Tn that way it discourages other
farmers from growing basic eommod- K
ities—such as corn and wheat—which
we already have too much of,” Aik- W
en pointed out. i
Agriculture department officials j-j

grain crops are coming into such
