WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. (UP) =
The house rules committee today
supported congressional opponents
of food subsidies by approving a
rule on the subSidy-ban bill which
will restrict administration sup
porters from offering amendments
when the legislation comes up
Thursday.
The action came as the subsidy
issue flared Up again at a senate
agriculture committee hearing, with
a cooperative association spokes-
man warning that milk rationing
will have TO be ordered if present
restrictive OPA price and subsidy
policies continue.
The rules committee gave right of
way to the bill extending the COM
modify credit corp. but banning
payment of subsidies after Dec. 81.
The bill will go before the house
Thursday, with two days assigned
for debate. A vote probably will
be reached Monday.
LOSE IN EFFORT
Subsidy proponents lost out in
an effort to secure from the rules
committee a guarantee that a sep
arate vote would be granted on the
subsidy ban provision.
Rep. James A. Wright, D., Pa,
said many members didn't want to
vote against extending the COM
modify credit corp. but were OPP
posed to the provision banning sub
sides.

velt would veto the bill Ito be

The collapse of the German de-

would separate their armies by a
