Wickard WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (AP) Secretary of Agriculture Wic kard gave his support today to price-control legislation which would authorize ceilings on farm products at not less than 110 per cent of parity, but declared that agricultural commodities were not to high yet. Recalling trials of farmers growing out of the inflationary and deflationary periods of the first world war, the secretary said: ' "I do not believe that the American economy can stand a repitition of anything like that." Wickard's statement was made before a house banking commit tee considering an administration supported price control bill. IGrcater Production Needed Wickard declared, however, that price control alone would not prevent inflation. As for agriculture, he. said, the surest preventive was Increased produc tion. He said the agriculture de partment had inaugurated a pro gram designed to give this coun try its greatest production of food and crops next year. "Like other farmers," the sec retary said, "I have watched with mingled pleasure and fear these recent price increases for farm products. I think the pleasure is understandable enough after 20 years of unfairly low farm pric es. Even greater than the plea sure, though; is the fear of what happens when prices get too high. They are certainly not there now. But speaking as one farmer, I hope they never do get there." Wheat Penalty Opposed The senate agriculture commu te approved today legislation that would remove the penalty of about 49 cents a bushel on so-called excess wheat for farmers with short crops. The measure already has been passed by the house. A similar bill was vetoed by President Roosevelt several weeks ago when congress attached riders seeking to freeze government loan slocks of wheat and cotton. As a separate bill, the wheat penalty modification won a recomendation from the secre tary of agriculture and unani mous approval of the senate com mittee. W. M.
