Hatch Suggests
Move 10 Tighten
Parity Formula
Farm Bloc Senators
Insist Compromise
Is Not Mandatory
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

With all signs pointing to Sen
ate approval of the administra-
tion's compromise method of
considering labor costs in fixing
farm prices, farm bloc Senators
last night were weighing a new
move to make that formula more
binding If it is adopted.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico, suggested the new amend
ment during an informal confer
ence late yesterday of farm Sena-
tors. 1t would direct whatever
agency administers the new price
control law to include all labor costs
in fixing ceiling prices of farm prod
ucts temporarily during the war
without disturbing the permanent
parity formula. No definite decis-
ion to offer it was reached, pending
further study over the week end.
While the new amendments OBJ
jective is the same as that of the
administration supported compro-
mise, farm bloc Senators argue that
the administration proposal is not
mandatory, but that the new Hatch
wording would make 1t so. Sup
porters of the administration pro-
posal take the view it is already
mandatory.
Would Raise Parity to liz.
Yesterdays conference was at
tended mainly by supporters of the
original amendment of Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma, OF
which Senator Hatch was co-author
to require inclusion of all labor costs
in the permanent parity formula
This would raise the parity formula
level to liz. 1t drew strong opposi-
ton from administration forces
who are rallying behind the com
promise put forward by Senators
O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming
Tydings, Democrat. of Maryland
and Reed, Republican, of Kansas
1t was offered by Majority Leader
Barkley.
The compromise avoids changine
the definition OF parity, but pro-
vides that adjustments shall be
made in maximum prices in any case
where it appears that such modifca
ton Is necessary either to increase
production, or where it appears the
maximum price does not reflect in

A statement to this effect will
be published in the official jour-

he plotted to get rid of Laval for
the even more arden proNazi,
Jacques Doriot, Paris editor.
One highly placed Fighting
Frenchman IN London termed the
dispute between Laval and Benoist-
Mechin as simply one among many
wrang,es between the various
gangs competing for German
favor and power in Vichy.
This source remarked that Laval
himself might be spreading rumors
that he is not collaborating with
the Germans and, hence, is threat
ened with dismissal in order to save
face with the French people who
are -collaborationist.
Appointed Last May.
Benoist-Mechin, one of the prime
movers IN forming the French Tri-
color Legion now fighting the Rus
slams, was appointed to his post last
May Is after Laval was restored to
power as chief of government in
the PeCain regime. In July Laval
gave him control over French labor
in Germany.

collaborationists to overthrow him
while at the same time he has tc
