SEEKS
To BLOCK ACTION
ON FARM PRICES

CONTINUED from Page One)
welt would ask the five conferees
today to strive for the elimina-
ton of two Senate approved pro-
visions which the administration
considers undesirable.
One of these would invest agri-
culture Secretary Wickard with
virtual veto power over any price
ceilings the price administrator
might set for farm products. Mr..
Roosevelt urged against this dual
control in kilograms to Senate lead
ers last week, but the chamber
disregarded him and wrote the
clause into the measure.
The second unwelcome proyis-
ion for the administration is the
stipulation which would permit
the prices of farm products to
rise to 120 per cent OF parity be-
fore any ceiling could be imposed.
(Parity is a price which would
give farmers the same return, in
terms Of purchasing power, that
they received In the base period,
1909-19l4)
For the special conference on
the legislation, Mr.. Roosevelt in
vited these members OF the House
Banking Committee: Chairman
Steavall DALAI. Williams ID
MOI, Spence (D-Ky). Wolcott (R-
Mich) and Clifford (RMass).
These five are expected TO repre-
sent the House when the joint
committee takes up the conflict

troll bills.
