Immediate Action
On Price Control
Takes 100 Days
House Committee Finally
Reports Measure Which
Member Coils 'Nonentity'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Exactly 100 days after President
Roosevelt asked Congress for i'm
mediate action, the House Banking
Committee formally reported yes
terday price control bill which
Chairman Steagall said contained
all provisions necessary at this
time" to combat inflationary prices
But Representative Kopplemann
Democrat. of Connecticut, another
member, denounced the meSaure as
'nOnentity" that was no damn
good" and predicted its defeat in
the House unless it was changed.
The committee decided last Sat
urday on all major provisions of
the bill. and the last week was spent
In putting these decisions into legal
language and drafting a report to
the House.
In brief. the bill would authorize
the president TO appoint a price
administrator who could fix cell
ings' on all commodities. goods and
articles, and rents in defense areas.
Violators could be prosecuted in
Federal courts and would be sub
ject to maximum penalty Of $4,000
fine and two years imprisonment.
Exempted from price controls
would be wages and salaries and
rates charged by railroads. COM
mon carriers and public utilities.
A principal point of controversy
Is provision which would prevent
fixing ceiling on farm products
below the highest of these:
One hundred and ten per cent of
parity parity is the price COM
puted by the Agriculture Depart
ment to give a farm commodity
the same relative purchasing price
1t had in base period, usually the
pre-war years of 1909-14D, market
prices prevailing on October l last,
or average prices during July /,
1919 to June 80, 1929.
Mr.. Kopplemann said this pro-
vision was approved by a 12-l1
committee vote a week ago when
he and Representative Sacks, DEM
ocrat, of Pennsylvania were away
and that it had the effect of re-
moving ceilings on farm products
since the 19l9-29 period was one
when many farm prices were the
highest in history.
They called up my office first
and made certain I was not here
before they voted" Mr.. Kopple-
mann told reporters, adding that
either his or Mr.. Sacks vote would
have defeated the 1919-29 provision
"a tie vote in a congressional COM
mittee defeats proposed amend
mentD
With reference to this provision,
the committee report said a three
way limitation on farm price CELL
ings was adopted in order to bring
about an equitable relationship be-
tween the prices of agricultural
commodities as a whole"
The administration had proposed
that no farm price ceiling lower
than ITO per cent of parity be per-
mitted, and there were reports
among House members that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would veto the bill
II it were enacted in the form ap-
proved by the House committee.
The measure is not expected to
come up on the House floor for
q week or more.

ISSUED Jointly by Agricultural
Marketing Service and Weather
Bureau,)

The week ending July Is was most
ly warm and favorable for growth of
small grains and cultivated crops.
Showers were heavy in localities in
western Montana but were light else
where. Scattered hail occurred, but
damage on the whole was light. In
some northeastern and east-central
sections, where earlier rainfall was
light, the spring grains now need
additional rainfall for filling. Winter
wheat, on the other hand, needs dry,
warm weather for ripening. The week
saw favorable advancement of growth
of such crops as corn, sugar beets,
beans, potatoes, mustard, sorghums,
and flax. Some early corn is begin
ming to tassel Sugar beets and pota-
toes have made up most of their for
mer lack of top growth Flax is about
through blooming and shows heavy
set of bolls. Stands of beans on irri-
gated land as heavy.
Considerable rye has been cut, and

now filling and, except in some areas
where previous rainfall was too light,
continue above average. All
grain crops on summer fallow con-
inue to be very promising, but some

Haying progressed favorably dur

NOW AGAINST

The great majority of American

The Southern Members of Congress
were foremost In advocating the pas
sage of the Lend-Lease bill, H. R.,

in the attitude Of the legislators from

AS an indication Of this changed

is inevitable"
And in the house, two administra-

caution:
