MP) A 50-mlnule meeting of House and Senate conferees Monday broke up without any agreement on new farm legislation. The dispute, one big obstacle to the adjournment of Congress, centers on the level at which the government should support farm prices. Senator Elmer Thomas (D.- Okla.) told reporters after the closed meeting that he is more hopeful now, that an agreement will be reached. He said he based this on the re fusal of the conferees, on three occasions, to report back to their respective houses that they are unaote to agree. Senator Aiken (R.-Vt.) also said he still thinks there is hope for an agreement. In the midst of the congres sional disagreement over a farm bill. House Speaker Rayburn told newsmen that President Truman wants farm price supports at 90 per cent of parity. Reporters asked Rayburn whether the chief executive had advised Democratic congressional leaders, at their regular Monday meeting with him, what kind of farm bill he wants. To Bt Campaign Isaua The speaker said Mr. Truman did not, but added: "He wants 90 per cent: he has always wanted 90 per cent. He made a campaign on that." Another white House caller. Jamos G. Patton, president of the National Farmers union, told re porters Mr. Truman will make support of the Brannan farm plan an issue of the 1950 congressional campaigns.' under tne Brannan plan, prices of perishable farm products wouia ne allowed to drop to tneir natural market levels and farm ers would receive subsidies rep resenting tne niirerence between these prices and a pre-determined figure guaranteed by the govern ment. Parity Is a computed price In tended to give a farm product the same relative purchasing power It nad in a past favorable period. Two senators' suggested that house members may be handling farm legislation so as to allow a sag In farm prices early next year. The senators. Democrat Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma and Repub lican Young of North Dakota, are members of the senate-house con ference committee. Thomas and Young reasoned that house members of the com mittee might go through with a let-supports-sag plan In order to force senators to go along with a Tues., Oct. 18, 1949-Tha News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 7 tlficatlon bv Lewis first would want to know If Murray had ask ed Lewis for (250.000 a week.
