Urged To Suspend Farm Price
: .%$Forts In Effort To Check Initiation;
Releases Proposed Schedules
Truman Continues
Parleys On Food
Chief Executive May Oat-
line Emergency Plans
To Press Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-W.D-
Suspension of farm price sup
ports, voluntary food rationing,
and restoration of ,rice controls
were urged upon President Tru-
man today as emergency meas
ures to check initiation at home
and hunger in Western Europe.
The President, who spent most
of yesterday comforting with his
cabinet aides on the food-price
crisis, held another food parley
with Secretary of Agriculture
Clinton P. Anderson this after
noon.
But the secretary made no
statement to the press and the
presidents office refused to say
whether the conference had pro-
duced any final decision on how
to curb domestic prices and get
more food into Europe.
Anderson said earlier that he
did not expect MI. Truman's de-
cision to be announced before
Thursday or Friday. There was
some speculation that the Chief
Executive might call a press con-
ference Thursday to outline his
plans.
Prospects of a special session
of congress to vote interim re-
lief for Europe in advance of
Marshall plan aid appeared to
be fading, although the State De-
partment repeatedly had favored
Congressional action as the best
means of getting enough emer-
gency food into Europe to head
off starvation this winter.
Voluntary Rationing
Best indications were that the
President would try to avoid a
special session, perhaps urging
an all-out voluntary food ration
ing program for the twin pur-
pose Of diverting more food into

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-W.I
Eastern railroads today asked
the Interstate Commerce Com

The proposed hikes would
come on top of the average q

The higher rates on first class
freight shipped in quantities
smaller than a carload lot would
apply on all movements East of
