 Very quietly one of the most inflationary bills recently proposed in Congress was debated recently by the House Rules Committee The Dill, authored by Rep Steve Pace of Georgia, would tack increased farm labor costs on top of farm parity prices. This would rise in the price of fcod and other agricultural commodities which would hit the pock- etbook of Mrs. America to the tune of 20 per cent increase in the cost of living.
 The bill has been before the last three Congresses and passed by the last House only to die In the Senate Only last month it was approved unanimous ly by the House Agriculture Committee, and Cong. Pace argued at length for rule to permit the bill to come up for early House vote
 At the close of his argument, Pace turned to Rep. Clifford Hope of Garden City, Kans, ranking Republican on the Agriculture Committee Tor sup port
 Long farm-bloc leader Hope had voted for the bill in previous sessions of Congress But last week he astounded both the Rules Committee and Pace by declaring:
 ed this measure in the past cannot in good con- science give it my support now. Sympathetic as l to the necessity for improving farm income. I only conclude that passage of such bill at this time would be dangerously inflationary.
 Not only would it raise the cost of living for millions who cannot afford to pay more for the necessities of life" Hope continued, but 1t would boomerang against the farmer by breaking down 'all control the items he must buy to live and keep in the farming business"
 Judge Adoph Sabath of Illinois, chairman of the Rules Committee, then succeeded in having the committee pass over the bill But 1t is still on the committees agenda and may come up for vote at any time.
