Presidential Veto
Of Farm Supply Bill
Believed in 0ffinq
Appears Only Way for
Roosevelt to Win Point
On Federal Stocks Bon
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A high administration source
said today that President Roose-
welt was considering veto of the
$685. 900 900 farm. supply bill, still
before the House, because it bans
disposal of Government con-
trolled stocks of farm products
at less than parity.
The President was beaten both in
Senate and House on his plea that
the prohibition be eliminated to
help prevent q further rise in the
cost Of living. He was reported to
believe that only by a veto could he
win his point.
The Senate recently passed the
simple bill containing the bar and
sent it to the House. That chamber
has refused to remove q clause to
prohibit the Commodity Credit
Corp. using any administrative
funds in connection with sales of
its surplus stocks below parity, with
minor exceptions.
Programs Begin July 1.
A veto would mean that the meas
ure. carrying money for the admin
istration's farm programs beginning
July l, would be returned to Con-
gress for further consideration.
Legislators said that it would have
to be approved in some form soon
after that date to avoid suspension
OF farmer benefit payments.
A strong economy bloc late yester-
day slashed a total of $2l $50, ,264
from the funds the bill provides for
the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act. and then attempted TO trim an
additional s25 100000 from the ad-
ministration's rural rehabilitati ton
program.
Representative Tarver, Democrat.
OF Georgia, in charge OF the bill,
succeeded In postponing until today
a vote on the s25, 100000 reduction.
but his hope of saving that ap-
peared slim.
Dirksen Sponsors Amendment.
Representative Dirksen, Repub-
lican, Of Illinois offered the original
amendment to cut the tenant loan
fund from $4,000 900 to $35, 900 900.
His suggestion was amended by
Representative Case, Republican, of
South Dakota to double the amount
OF the reduction. Mr.. Cases
O oyoonlnd
a teller vote of l20 to l04.
Earlier. Mr.. Dirksen succeeded in
cutting $l250.264 from the admin
iStrative expenses on a vote Of 100
to 81.
An effort by Representative Pierce,
Democrat, Of Oregon to eliminate
the entire $45, 900 900 loan fund and
$2500.264 administrative fund was
defeated 116 to 90.
The program was criticized by
Representative Plumley. Republican,
OF Vermont as "socialistic and theo-
retical' and one we cannot afford"
Warning that the public was
growing impatient" with refusal of
wig " Sdl SpCllu-
ing. Representative Dondero, Repub-
lican. Of Michigan told the House
financial collapse would result from
continued unnecessary spending.
Must the shrapnel break and the
bombs fall in Washington before
We wake up?" asked Representative
Pierce.
The tenant loan program was de-
Tended by Representative Terry.
Democrat, of Arkansas, who said it
would be tragic to destroy it now.
1T is worthy program" asserted
representative Hook. Democrat. of
Michigan, who argued that farm
owner made a better producer than
tenant, and production of food was
the necessary thing now.
