A 10 per cent increase in farm

manded today by farm state law
makers who already had won Sem
ate exemption Of farm products from
the same price control as other
goods in war emergency measures.
Senators OMahoney. Democrat, of
Wyoming and McCarran, Democrat,
Of Nevada sought consideration for
this new amendment as the Senate
convened an hour earlier than usual
in an effort to complete passage Of
the price-control bill today. Demo-
cratic Leader Barley predicted

The parity increase amendment
was expected to get the backing OF

overrode President Roosevelt's writ
ten objections and wrote into the
bill a provision giving the secre-
tary of Agriculture veto power over
farm price fixing.

previously had written Senator
Barkley and Senator Brown, Demo-
