The house group has de cided to postpone further hear ings until the house completes a four-weeks rest period and senat committee members have said they would delay action until the house acts. The legislation would permit President Roosevelt to establish ceilings on various prices. Sala ries would be exempted, however, and no ceiling could be establish ed on farm products below 110 per cent of so-called "parity" prices. "I appeal to the administration to consider this major t price 'con trol I legislation without delay," McNary told reporters!. He added that there now was general un certainty because the prospect of such legislation had "dislocated marketing conditions." "There is neither a buyers' or a sellers' market because of the un certainty of price levels," the Oregon senator declared. Point nij! out that tho midsummer sea son Is the marketing period for farm products, he said, "the great I forces of agriculture should have I this uncertainty removed. "fn the name of common sense, the price control bill should be 'voted up or down at the earliest 'possible date." i McNary declined to commit : himself on the general subject of price legislation, but he asserted "ilWtV Siiy fiei'sure" which ext-mpt-, e(t labor and airriculture eliminat- eit about 80 per cent of the price , factors.
