Farm Price FIexibi|ity
Called Most Favored
BY the Assoeiofed Press

CORVALLIS, Greg, Aug. 19.--
Undersecretary of Agriculture
True D. Morse said today most
farm leaders favor flexibility
over the present system Of high
rigid supports" for prices Of
farm products.
He said most Of the 60-odd
groups studying various phases
of price support legislation and
other farm proposals are adopt
ing resolutions in opposition to
rigid and high price supports.
Mr.. Morse, in a speech pre-
pared for a joint meeting Of the
American Farm Economics As
sociation and the Western Farm
Economics Association, also said
some farm programs are head
ing for serious trouble and are in
need of adjustment and change" :"
Present programs" he said,
"were developed to help farmers
pull out of depression. Changes
were made to help fight and win
a world war. Depression meas
ures have been continued during
a period of extreme imitation
and some wartime features have
been carried too long.
Nov we need to make
changes to enable farmers to
achieve stability and prosperity
during the years of comparative
peace that presumably lie
ahead"
