Senate Unit Advocate,
Farm Plan ALLOWING
F|exibiIity Of Prices
BY the Assoeioted Press

A long-range farm program which
would allow consumer food prices
to decline when food surpluses de-
veloped was advocated yesterday by
a Senate Agriculture Subcommittee.
The larger the surplus the lower
would prices be allowed to go.
At the same time, the program
would be designed to assure farmers
fair share Of the national income.
The program differs sharply from
the present one. The latter tends
70 maintain inf1exible prices. That
is, the minimum price is the same
regardless Of the supply.
Further, the present program
merely assures producers a mini
mum price for their products-a
guarantee which may or may not
give the farmer a proper share Of
the national income.
Drafted by Subcommittee.
The new program was drafted by
subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Aiken, Republican, Of Vermont.
who long has been a leader in farm
matters. A bill embodying provi-
sions of the program is expected to
be introduced in the Senate tomor-
row. Senator Aiken said he will
press for its passage this session.
The program also would have as
one of its goals high level Of farm
production at all times.
Devices such as acreage allotments
and marketing quotas to restrict or
curtail production would be used
only as a last resort" Instead,
when surpluses tended to arise,
the Government would seek to en-
courage consumption by means OF
subsidizing consumption by low-1rl-
come families and by diverting extra
supplies to school-lunch programs
and industrial by-products.
Incentive" Payments.
It also would provide for Govern
ment incentive" payments to farm
ers for carrying out soil-conserving
and rebuilding practices which land
owners would not be able financially
to carry out without public help.
A main feature of the program is
that dealing with Government finan-
cial support Of farm prosperity. 1t
holds that farmers should be guar
anteed a fair share of the national
income, perhaps Is per cent on the
basis of present conditions. Further,
each farm crop or product should
be assured a proper share OF the
farm income.
The proposed program would set
up a system of flexible price supports
by the Government. The price sup
port levels would go down when
production exceeded normal needs,
and go up when it dropped below
such needs.
