Parity Is Not 10 Blame
For Rising Prices,
Brannan Testifies
Farm Returns Reasonable
In Relation to Other
Groups, He Tells Hearing
By Froncis P. DouoLos

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan told Congress today that farm
parity prices are not to blame for
the rising cost of living.
Nor are farm returns unreason-
ably high in relation to what other
groups are getting, he said.
Mr.. Brannan testified before the
House Agriculture Committee
Chairman Cooley opened the hear
ing with a statement that there
has been an avalanche of propa-
ganda that the farmer is being un-
duly enriched and that the price
support program has been respon-
sible for an unreasonable increase
in living costs.

Governments stabilization au-

program to freeze also the cost-of-
living wage increases for labor
along with the price controls.
Price Index Cited.
Mr.. Brannan said that about 40
per cent of farm products already
are under price controls and those
not under controls account for not
more than 20 per cent of the con-
Sumer's price index. But, he
added, only about half of that can
be traced back to the farm because
about half of retail prices goes for
processing, handling and market
ling.
If the prices of all farm COM
modities below parity in March
would Immediately rise to the
parity level, it would mean less
than a per cent increase in the
consumers food costs and only
