40CSv AOA O RAOA ,OOO,OOO dHp ; SIS, 100000 by the house, and the : legislative deadlock over the $680,- , 100000 farm bill for fiscal 1943. Henderson appears before sen- ate appropriations committee early this week to renew his plea for ad- ditional funds to combat imitation. E A preliminary survey of sentiment indicated that his req1esC probably would be granted.
 Despite personal friction between Henderson and congress, senators privately have admitted they do not wish to be placed in the position of withholding means to combat spiral Ing prices. But they are determined to establish some checks over the office of price administration.
 Salaried Appointees
 Two members of the senate ap- propriations subcommittee Pat McCarran, D., Nev., and Gerald P. Nye, R.. N. D.-advocate of pro- vision directing Henderson to obtain senate confirmation of all OPA sal- aried appointees receiving more than $4,000 a year. They have consider able support in that move.
 McCarran said in an interview that "there is no other way for Congress to check the efficiency of Henderson's personnel" He favors an increase in the House-approved OPA appropriation.
 Nye, advocated an appropriation for the office which would pay for its operations for a few months.
 They can then return to Con- gresS and ask for some money" he said. 'That way, we can keep close check on the agency"
 The Senate considers a resolu- tion today designed to break the legislative deadlock which has left the agriculture department without funds for six days. It would grant the agency a one-month continua- tion of its fiscal 1942 appropriations.
 Appropriation Held Up
 The fiscal 1943 appropriation has been held up in conference over a Senate provision which would per- init subparity sales of surplus grains for feed by the Commodity Credit Corporation. The administration considers that section essential in the fight against imitation.
 Ulder ordinary procedure, when bill is deadlocked in conference beyond the fiscal year-end, a simple continuing resolution is passed to grant the department or agency involved temporary funds. But this yeay, House confereeS insisted that the resolution include their ban on subparity grain sales.
 A Senate appropriations subcom- miteee rejected that formula and prepared a continuing resolution in the usual form which will be pre- se11ted today. There Is no doubt that it will be approved by the Senate.
 Senate leaders hoped that farm constituents would place pressure upon their representatives to accept that resolution so the agriculture department might have funds while the conferees thrashed out their differences. As one senator pointed out:
 Cannot Buy Poison
 Right now, the Agriculture De- partment cannot even buy poison to combAt insects. If the Japanese bettle quarantine needs equipment for its work, it simply cannot get 1t. Farmers will not permit that type of thing to continue"
 The controversial Senate provis- ion would permit the eco to sell 125, 100000 bushels of wheat and an unlimited amount of other grains that 1t holds, at 75 per cent of the parity price for corn.
 The House has insisted that only deteriorated stocks should be sold at subparity levels.
 Sometime during the week, the Senate will consider bill by Sens Richard B. Russell, D., Ga, and John H. Bankhead, D., Ala, to raise the loan rate on basic commodities to full parity. It is believed that approval of this bill might induce the House to accept the Senate pro- visions in the appropriation bill.
 The House and Senate also are split on appropriations for the farm security administration and fha farm tenant onf
