Supplemental
Plea Rejected by
House Group
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS

The House Appropriations
Committee today rejected the
District Commissioners plea for
IS2 million to restore the Federal
payment toward city costs for
this fiscal year to the $40 million
previously authorized by Con-
Igress.
This leaves the Federal pay
ment for this fiscal year. Whlch
ends June 80, at $18 million.
The action was taken as the
committee sent to the House
floor other supplemental appro-
Ipriations for the District in the
Iso-called second supplemental
appropriations bill.
The committee approved a
total of $9.491,010 for various
District government functions.
This included $7,864.300 to meet
pay raises of the city govern
ment this fiscal year.
Strong Plea Rejected
The So million was killed by the
full House Appropriations Com
mittee after the District Com
missioners had made a strong
plea before the District Appro-
priations Subcommittee in an et-
fort to keep the municipality
from running into the red at
the end of this fiscal year.
All the city requests were APP
proved in full with the exception
Iof a $4,000 cut in a request Tor
$3.50 600 for medical charities and
the So million cut in the Federal
payments.
Among the items approved IN
full were:
S240,OO0 for Metropolitan po-
lice force men for working on
their days off during the transit
strike last summer; $250,OoO IN
public assistance grants and
other funds requested for Freed
mems Hospital, the National
Training School for Boys, the De-
Ipartrne.:. Of Highways and to pay
judgments, claims and minor OBJ
LEGATIONS.

Committee denied 100000 re-

Action Now Questionable

with respect to these matters,
the committee report said, 1.-The
need for either construction or
land acquisition funds appears
to be questionable"

struck from the Interior appro-

The principal issue fighting tol

Wisconsin farmers have tradi-
Itionally been Republican. There
are evidences here. as there are
in Minnesota and Iowa, that the
drop in farm prices, which began
in the Truman administration
and has persisted in the Eisen-
hover administration. has caused
much resentment on the farms.

nomination of State officers and
members of Congress will not

Democrats already are grooming

sought more and more to gather
the La Toilette Progressives into
their fold. and with some sue
cess. A younger group of Demo-
Icratic leaders has come to the
fore. The old Socialist Party,
which was strong in Milwaukee
at one time. has faded and a
considerable number of the So

Democratic Party.
Wisconsin voters additionally
have been independent, and any,
thing could happen here.

The Senate today faced an
other key price support fight as
the long farm bill debate neared
an end-and hackers of high
level guarantees were predicting
victory despite two major rebutfs.
At issue was section of the
bill proposing a return to the
former basis for calculating the
parity figure for major crops. 1t
would mean cancellation of a
5 per cent cut put into effect
this year, and prevent drop of
about 10 cents a bushel in wheat
supports. and lesser amounts on
the other basics-cotton, corn,
peanuts and rice.
Parity is the fair return
figure for the farmer, and the
new base was set up to represent
the change in production costs
occasioned by the shift to mech
anization.
Benson Against Change
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
son already has spoken out
against the change, which, it is
argued, would be a contributing
factor to overproduction. but
hackers were confident that the
opposition which turned back the
earlier attempts to set higher
guarantees on the basics could
not muster the needed strength
this time.
They don't have the votes to
knock out the provision" as
serted Senator Young, Republic
can of North Dakota, a wheat
farmer back home and leader
of the high support forces.
Strength was lent to this
position by the fact that Senator
Schoeppel. Republican OF Kan
sas. ordinarily an administration
hacker, was sponsoring an amend
ment that specifically would
keep wheat on the old parity
base-a move meaning million to
the growers.
Got Only Crumbs
Wheat spokesman complain
they have gotten only the crumbs
in the new farm bill-and they
have a lot of annoyed constitu-
ents.
The dairy industry wants a new
support level that would raise the
guarantee for milk from So is to
SO Is a hundredweight. and there
also is a provision in the bill
calling for two-price system
for rice.
These three items will about
close out the price fight during
which the administration has
been successful in retaining the
downward graded flexible scale
for basics which opponents
sought to replace with the higher
level guarantee abandoned two
years ago.
