Roosevelt Signs
Price Control Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-tUPl-
President Roosevelt today signed
the price control bill. He described
it as bill worth having but sharp
ly criticized provisions which per-
init farm prices to rise to 10 per
cent of parity.
The President said if operations
of the bill prove such a step neces
sary, he may ask congress to cor
rect certain gaps in the bill, par
ticularly the agriculture provisions.
The President said there was a
real danger in the provision where
by no price ceiling can be placed on
agriculture products at less than
10 per cent of parity
The provision, the President said,
is a definite violation of an OBJ
jective sought by the administration
and the agricultural popuIation OF
the country for more than eight
wears.

would be fatal to suspend these de-

Mr.. Patterson's prime motive,

obviously serving another cause
which supports his position as Ma

duty of those who know Mr.. Pat

deserves the contempt of the col
