Pepper is the principal author
and floor manager for the legisla-

fed in the face of a veto threat by
voting an amendment designed to
raise farm prices.
The amendment was written in

an earlier test vote on the same
proposal last Friday, when the
count was 43 to 81. All Admins

failed In the face OF a well-or-
ganized coalition which included
southern Democrats, Republicans
and westerners OF both parties.
