Farm B|ocs Battle
Administration Drive
To Keep Price Control
Senate Debate Enters
Second Day; House Unit
Report Calls for Pority
Py the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
The administration tod ay
pushed it's fight to keep the price
control structure unchanged in
the face of farm group pressure
from both sides of the Capitol.
While the Senate entered its sec
ond day of debate on the changes
Price Administrator Henderson de-
clares would cripple much of the
program, the House Agriculture
Committee came forward with sharp
criticism of his policies.
In a formal report on a crop loan
bill the House committee declared
it was very apparent the price ad-
ministrator is not concerned about
parity" because under present CELL
ings practically all farm products
are selling below parity"
A parity price is one which would
give crops the purchasing power
they enjoyed from 1909 to 1914. The
bill approved by the House Com
mittee would authorize Government
loans to farmers up to 100 per cent
of parity.
Fight on in Senate.
The administration fight in the
Senate is against restrictions on
OPA expenditures written into a
pending s1,856, 900 900 supplemental
money bill by the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee.
Majority Leader Barkley told the
Senate yesterday the limitations
would strip Mr. Henderson of virtu-
ally all his authority over prices.
Senator Barkley objected specifi-
cally to a committee approved pro-
vision requiring the Secretary of
Agriculture to certify prices of proc
essed farm commodities before Mr..
Henderson could establish ceilings
over those articles.
The committee amendment speci-
fed that the prices on these articles
must be such that they reflected
| ITO per cent parity income to the
farmer who produced the original
| commodity from which they were
processed.
Senator Barkley said this would
prevent Mr.. Henderson from fixing
satisfactory ceilings on shoes, cloth
ing and many other articles. but
Senator Mckellar, Democrat, Of
Tennessee asserted that Congress
had directed in the original Price
Control Act that no ceilings be
placed on these commodities until
/ they reached the level rejecting 10
/ per cent parity.
Salaries and Politics.
Senator Barkley raised objections
also to a provision requiring Senate
confrmat ton of all OPA employees
receiving 81 500 or higher yearly sal
aries. The latter requirement, he
asserted, might create the impress
sion that we are more interested in
patronage than in winning the
home front battle"
Senator Mcclellan retorted that If

troduced to justify changes in zone
boundaries?
IS. Such other questions relating
to zones and rates as conferees may
raise-such for instance as: How
can the zone map be simplified so
as to make it more useful?"
Conference Not for Public.
Chairman Hankin explained that
all those participating in the special
conference recently when the new
program was submitted to PUG are
being invited personally to the
meeting today.
Representatives of citizens asso-
Citations especially interested in the
matter will be admitted, as will the
press, Mr.. Hankin explained. But
the conference is not a hearing, and
is not intended for the general pub
lie. The hearing will be conducted
for the general public on July "a
Mr.. Hankin indicated the question
over rates no doubt would involve
questions pertaining to the cost of
operating cab under wartime con-
ditions.
Looking forward to discussion OF
the issue of a simpler rate schedule
Mr.. Hankin said: 1--WE want to
eliminate all controversy between
the driver and the passenger"

PUG Sets Conference
Today on Plan for
New Taxi Rates
Five Points to Come Up
At Session Preliminary
To July "a Hearing

To iron out questions on taxicab
zones and rates the Public Utilities
Commission planned to hold con-
ference at pm. today in its offices
in the District Building.
Five specific points will be con-
sidered by the representatives OF the
cab industry, the PUG and any citi-
zens association officials who care
to attend, Gregory Hankin, PUG
chairman, announced.
The gathering will be in the nature
of a "pre-hearing conference" he
explained, TO diminish so far as
possible the scope of the formal
taxicab hearing scheduled for 10
am. July "a
The commission has before it the
program of higher rates and revised
zone map submitted last week by a
committee representing the taxicab
drivers union and the leading taxi
cab companies of the city.
New Proposal Reviewed.
Briefly, the new proposal, which
is designed to supplant the present
system of zones and subzones pro-
mulgated June Is by the PUG, pro-
vides for raising the rates from 80,
40. 60 and 80 cents for the four
zones, to 80, so, 10 and 80 cents
Zone boundaries are changed and
instead of the so-called "subzones'
of the PUG, which the drivers pro-
tested, there are so-called division
al lines" which are to be used only
when trip begins and ends within
one zone.
The five points which will be con-
sidered by the conference tomorrow
are:
Il. What evidence, If any, should
be introduced at the hearing tc
justify 80, SO, 10, 80 cent rate?
q. Should the rates be deter
mined by the routes. and the routes
by the individual drivers, or should
rates be determined by the points OF
origin and destination of various
trips?
'3 Should the rates be tabulatet
so that both the passenger and th'
driver would know them, or shoulc
rates be dependent solely on th'
drivers memory?
