DdE1Ly 1OT 4dIIu J1ACCo1 AoAAA formula have been dropped 1t was believed.
 A week ago MT. Roosevelt warned Congress that unless 1t acted by Oct. 1 he would take the necessary steps by executive action to stop the ris- ing cost of living.
 House and Senate leaders spent most of the week end trying to agree on the type of legislation to be rushed through to enactment in the next 2 1-2 years. For several days at was understood that there was disagreement, whether to grant the President 'qblank check" authority to fieal with the wage and farm prob lems or to attempt to write specific methods of control into the bill.
 After an extraordinary Sunday session, congressional leaders were reported ready to drop, wage control formula plans. Adoption of the principle of 100 per cent parity for farm prices would replace the mini mum standards of present law, one of which is no per cent of parity.
 May Be Compromise
 The legislation, however, was not as broad as originally suggested by Speaker Sam Rayburn, who proposed enactment of a short bill granting AIT. Roosevelt blank check author ity to control farm prices and wages It represented, some conferees thought, compromise between that viewpoint and proposals to write III specific methods of control.
 Chairman Robert F. Wagner, D., N. F., of the Senate banking and currency committee and Sen. Prem tss M. Brown. D., Mich, will 1n- troduce the bill in the Senate be- fore noon under an agreement per hitting presentation of the measure any time during the week end.
 Chairman Henry B. Steagall, D.. Ala, of the House banking and cur rency committee hoped to do the same in the House, but whether hi bill would be exactly identical" witt the wagner-Brown bill was uncer. tain, Senate Democratic Leader Al. ben w. Barkley of Kentucky said. Other confereeS, however, doubted there would be any essential differ ence.
 Yesterdays conferees said there was still decision to make relating to farm loan rates, but refused tt elaborate.
 One member said the legislation would be unusual in that besides "authoriZing" the President to con trol wages and farm prices 1t woult direct" him to do so.
 ! No Wage Control Formula
 But, 1t was added, the bill woult not contain any reference to tn wage control formula under whicl [ the War Labor Board is operating i permitting increases to equal 15 pc J cent in wage levels compared wit those of Jan. 1, 194l. That formul is based on the rise in the cost C living since that date.
 fsAlso left out of the draft was provision to prevent "pirating" c workers in industry through wag inducements. Conferees said tn wage control grant was broa enough to cover that point witllou mentioning it specifically.
 sBarkley made 1t clear that tn hill would give the same authorit and direction as to both farm price and wages" and that 1t would carr ''all the power the President need to control both of them"
 He said it would contain onl "guideposts" as to formula for eithe element in the cost of living.
 Wagner said the grant of author itg probably would be broad eroug to make unnecessary passage of
