C., May 11.— CNWN8)—The new Rooseveltian economic policy, as outlined in the President’s speeches to con gress and to the people last month, is meeting strong oppo sition from certain groups in con- lated that ineffective action on those two would endanger the whole plan. The two points which are caus ing such wide-spread debate are the President’s demand for pre venting farm prices from going higher than the parity figure and his request for taxes heavy enough to drain off war-inflated incomes. The strong farm bloc in con gress, which succeeded last year in preventing ceilings on farm prices below 110 per cent of parity (a price which would give the farmer, in terms of purchas ing power of non-farm commod ities, an income of 10 per cent above tha average for the base period of 1909-1914) has no in tention of approving the parity ceiling now, and the farm bloc has enough influence in congress to control the situation. Senators and congressmen from the farm areas argue that the farmer would be doing more than his share of the sacrificing If this move went through, par- Luther H.

The Masonic order conducted ritual services at the graveside. Mr. Edmunds is survived by two brothers, W. A. Edmunds of Augusta, Ga., and J. Z. Edmunds of McCormick, S.

W. Furqueron of Clinton, S. C., Miss Fannie Edmunds and Mrs. T. J. Price of McCormick, and several grandchildren. -xx- The Conservative element in congress, which might ordinarily favor both curbs on wages and on farm prices, is not treating either too warmly because it is disturbed over the President’s failure to mention economies within the non-war activities of the government itself. Feeling that many economies could be made which would not hurt the war program, this group is re lating its demands for such econ omies to legislation for wage control, profit control and taxa tion, • There is a growing conviction (in congress that the President’s proposals will face heavy opposi tion until he takes some definite John Eldred Dorn, prominent step to force labor to share in the farmer of the Callison section of sacrifices which he is asking Greenwood County died at his of other groups.
