Democrats also have appealed
to Mr.. Eisenhower to sign the
bill,
The measure passed both
Senate and House by sizable
majorities, but the margins
were far short of the two
thirds necessary to override Q

The sharp rise in farm prices
appeared to reduce the pos
sibility that the administration
might adjust some supports up
ward even If Mr.. Eisenhower
vetoed the freeze bill. There
has been speculation that such
a compromise move might be
made.
Senator Carlson said the
price rise between mid-Feb-
ruary and mid-March was
caused mostly by drought
conditions in the Southwest
which depleted livestock herds.
and by severe winter weather
which ruined part Of the citrus
crop in Florida.
Condition Seen Temporary
"This does not remove the
necessity for the Presidents
signing this BILL" Senator
Carlson said Of the price rise.
The livestock condition is
probably temporary. AS cheap

The Agriculture Department

Farm prices normally are
