fore final action can be taken.
A weeks illness Of Sen. Robert

program, has delayed work on that
measure. His return to the cap
ital before the. end Of this week
was expected. -
Major obstacles Of the bills are
a senate amendment calling for
payment of prevailing wages on
the housing bill program and pro-
vision in the house farm bill for
payments to continue to be made
under the present soil conserva-
ton program as opposed to the
senate's version Of providing pay
ment on parity. a goal which
would give farmers an income with
purchasing power comparable TO
that of 1909-l4. go,
The McNary-Boileau farm bill
amendment providing that no pro.

Administration leaders believe
that the effectiveness Of both
"must measures" of President
