For 1950, the support level under the Anderson bill would be 90 percent of parity on those basic crops under production or marketing controls. After 1950 being no prospect of removing controls from this group. The House already has voted to continue a flat 90 percent sup port for basic crops in 1950. t ! During the allied occupation of !
