Congress Angry
At fDR's Act

Il think a great majority of Con-
gress would be willing to repeal the
prohibitions that prevent imposi-
ton of farm price ceilings at levels
higher than 100 per cent of par
ity." Norris said.
But I am afraid the President S
message has made the job of get
ting this legislation passed diff
cult. There is a grave danger that
Congress may now act within the
prescribed limits and the President
will be forced to fulfill the terms
of his message.
THAT might easily result in an
open breach between the President
and his wartime Congress. I think
there is a grave danger Of such a
cleavage Where it might end in
this war crisis no one can foresee. ."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 up -
Congressional resentment against
the you-do-it-or-I-wi nature OF
President Roosevelt's request for
price control act revision today ov-
ershadowed the main issue of fight
ing initiation and threatened q
sharp break between Congress and
the White House.
Leaders of both the Senate and
House, neverless, prepared legisla-
tion that would enable the Presi-
dent to put price ceilings on farm
products at parity instead of Ito
per cent of parity or higher. Leg
islators friendly to the Presidents
detectives said he made their task
harder by placing a time limit on
Congress.
RESENTMENT STIRRED
Resentment was stirred generally
by the Presidents ultimatum that
II Congress does not act by Oct.

prices by executive order.
Some leaders hoped that Congress
would cool off" by the time the
House returns from its informal
vacation next week and buckle
down to the job of passing the re-
quested legislation in the three
weeks allowed them.
But other quarters predicted that
if Congress does not pass the legis-
lation requested by Pres q en- |
Roosevelt. it would also include
control over wages and salaries
The President told Congress that
when farm prices were stabilized
he would stabilize wages.
Some Congressional observers saw
a parallel between the reaction to
the Presidents war initiation mes
sage and the request he made Of
Congress in 1897 to reorganize the
Supreme Court.
GEORGE REGRETFUL
Even Sen. George W Norris, Ind
Nebr., a close friend Of the Presi-
dent and usually quite friendly to
the administration economic aims,
regretted exceedingly. that Mr.
Roosevelt had chosen to impose a
time limit on Congressional action.
