Senate Farm
Bloc 10 Confer
With President
Seven Designated
To See Roosevelt
In Pority Fight
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Leaders of the Senate farm
bloc decided today to consult
directly with President Roose-
welt before pressing their legis-
lative attempts to raise all agri-
cultural prices to a full parity
level.
Seven Senators were designated to
consult with the Chief Executive
who has criticized vigorously the
attempts to prohibit sales Of Gov
ernment stocks of major farm crops
below full parity price.
(Parity is the purchasing power OF
a farm product during specified
period, generally 1909-1914)
I'VE don't want to get into a
scrap" said Senator Thomas, DEM
ocrat, of Oklahoma. who presided
at the strategy session What we
want is results. We hope We can
agree upon the facts and on some
fair, proper, patriotic settlement on
this ISSUE
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama, was named chairman of
the conference group, comprised of
Senators Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa, Ellender, Democrat, of Louisi-
ana. Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois,
McNary. Republican, of Oregon,
Aiken, Republican, Of Vermont and
Thomas.
Rider May Be Dropped.
Other Senators said there was
general indication that the farm
bloc would abandon its proposed
attempts to attach a parity price
rider to the s32, ,0O0, 900 600 war ap-
preparation bill, which has been de-
layed in the Senate by the battle
over prices on Government sur
pluses.
The Senate passed this week by
q top-heavy vote of so to 23 a
separate bill prohibiting sales OF
the Government stocks below full
parity levels, despite a last-minute
letter of opposition from the Presi-
dent.
The proposed rider to the war
appropriation bill was devised as a
means Of forcing House action on
the parity price issue and possible
circumvention of presidential veto
Entering the dispute In the role
of peace-maker, Vice President Wal
lace, who formerly served as Sec
retary of Agriculture, was reported
to have advised the farm leaders
against insisting on the parity price
rider.
President Denounced Riders.
President Roosevelt had de-
nounced the practice of attaching
riders to important legislation as
reprehensible and questionable leg
islative ethics.
The Chief Executive complained
that legislation approved by the
Senate earlier this week, forbid
ding sale of Government-held farm
surpluses below parity prices might
add 81 ,00o, ,o00, 900 to the Nations
eating costs and step up inflationary
trends.
To hedge against a possible veto
Senator Thomas has said he would
offer similar parity-guaranteeing
legislation as rider to the $50, 1872
1877 300 war appropriation.
