By the Associated Press.
Final agreement was reached
today on the long disputed $780,
100000 farm bill after the House
finally backed down and decided
to permit sales of Government
owned wheat at below parity.
The Senate, following the House
action, accepted a conference COM
mittees recommendations and the
legislation was ready for the Presi-
dents signature.
After earlier rejecting a new COM
promise proposal, the House ac-
cepted Senate demand, backed by
President Roosevelt. that sales OF
Government-owned wheat for live
stock feed and Industrial uses at IS
per cent of the parity price of corn
or about SO cents a bushel-be
allowed.
Cannon Offered Compromise.
The compromise proposal offered
by Representative Cannon, Demo-
crat, of Missouri would have set
the minimum sale price for the
wheat at full parity for corn, or
about 81 cents.
The motion to recede from the
House position and accept the SEN
ate version, made by Representa-
tive Tarver, Democrat, of Georgia,
was adopted by division vote an
nounced by Speaker Rayburn as I'll
to ST.
The break in the deadlock on the
grain sale price apparently settled
all differences on the department
appropriation bill.
There had been a difference on
funds for the Farm Security Ad-
ministration. Compromise figures
for this agency were accepted by the
House yesterday, and their accept
ance by the Senate would send the
measure to the White House.

Previously the Holse had insisted
that Government wheat sales be
made at not less than parity for
wheat, or about s1.35 bushel.
The administration favored the
| Senate version. 1t wants to stabilize
livestock feed prices at below parity
levels to encourage maximum pro-
duction of meat, dairy and poultry
products for war needs.

The rubber industry agrees with
War Production Chief Donald Nell
son as to the urgency Of the rubber
problem, and is working on plan
which it hopes may aid in keeping
essential war materials and war
workers on the highways, Presi-
dent A. L. Viles of the Rubber Man
ufacturers' Association stated this
afternoon.
Mr.. Viles said the plan. not yet
completed, does not envision relax
alton of present rubber restrictions.
For example, it does not permit
pleasure driving and calls for low
speeds and continuous tire care even
for essential car operations.
The tire manufacturing indus
try OF the United States" Mr.. Viles
said has long realized the critical
shortage of crude rubber necessary
to keep essential transportation
moving"
He added that for several months
the industry's engineers and re-
search men have been investigating
the various problems growing out OF
the shortage in the effort to find
an answer.
One of the phases of the problem,
Mr.. Viles continued, which was
given most careful exabination, was
that of efficient use of available
material other than crude rubber
to aid in necessary war effort trans
portation
Mr. Viles said the industry plan
would be presented to proper Gov
ernment agencies when all facts are
compiled. He said he hoped this
would be definite contribution to-
ward winning the war.
His statement was issued presum-
ably to counteract published re-
ports to the effect that the industry
believes there Is sufficient rubber
stocks available for nearly every use.

ocrat, OF Georgia withdrew ar
amendment to a pending appro-

blocked enforcement of a 212-
cent increase in the ceiling price
in States served by pipelines.
Before the amendment was with
drawn, however, several Midwestern
Senators criticized the plan made
public by Secretary of Commerce
Jones as opening the way to general
subsidy payments.
Senator Reed, Republican, of
Kansas estimated the plan would
cost the Reconstruction Finance

Byrd Questions Subsidies.
Senator Russell said Secretary
Jones action followed recommenda-
tions by the War and Navy Depart
ments and the Once TO Price Ad-

of the President
Senator Reed pointed out that the
pending bill, containing an appro-
priation to operate OPA, stipulated
that none of the OPA fund should
be used directly or indirectly for
making subsidy payments.
IF we are to start on this kind
of a policy, where in the name OF
Almighty God are we going to
stop?" Senator Reed inquired.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia questioned the legal author
ity of Secretary Jones to pay "a
subsidy to the big oil companies, >
an action he said might lead to q
general program of subsidies with

In gasoline prices in the East would
be removed by the OPA when the
Jones plan went into effect, al
though it probably would take sew
eral days to work out the me-
chanics Of the Federal payment.
Senator Maloney, Democrat, OF
Connecticut predicted the action OF
the DISC would result in removal
of the 2ha cent increase in the price
OF gasoline which the ONCE of Price
Administration recently authorized
in the East.
Secretary Jones earlier had read
10 the Banking Committee formal
statement announcing that the
DISC would assist in financing the
transportation and distribution of
petroleum products in order that
fuel oil and other petroleum prod
ucts necessary to the war effort and
to the civilian economy may as far
as possible be made available this

petroleum products COULD be moved

lation suffer from lack of fuel oil
