Food Shortage If
Prices Restricted
1 WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 -
(UP)—The administration an-
farm bloc today began the show-
down phase of a senate battle
over higher farm prices in the
.anti-inflation bill with the ad
ministration holding a slight
edge on the hasis of informal
weekend polls.
But both*sides were confident
of winning the fight over
.which debate has been prolon-
ged for a week.
Sen. Prentiss M. Brown. D.
Mich., leader of the administra-
tion forces, predicted that the
administration's version of the
|bill would pass today or tomor-
row.
Sen. Elmer Thomas, O.,
Oklii., leader of the farm
bloc, said that regardless of
the outcome, the farm bloc
k has "won its point"—bring-
ing to the attention of the
public the serious potential
shortage of food if farm pri-
ces are restricted.
Only three dayb remain be-
fore President Roosevelt's "you-
do-it-or-l-will" deadline Thurs-
day, Oct. 1. During that time
the senate must pass its ver-
sion of the anti-inflation Bill
and reconcile it with the house-
) approved version which includ-
es the farm bloc's amendment
for a higher parity figure on
farm commodities.
^Administration leaders consid-
ered the president's deadline ap-
l proximate and believed that he
would postpone his threat to
stabilize wages, salaries and pri-
ces by executive action if it
appears likely that the house
and senate can complete action
► by the end of tne week.
