SUBSIDY PLAN TO OPERATE BEFORE FULL WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (IP) Ranking officials predicted to day that the administration's new cost of living subsidy plan will be in operation before con gress returns next month but it will be necessary for the law makers to provide the where withal. Because existing subsidies were spared the congressional ax only through a presidential veto, the expectation had grown here that the administration would sidestep further subsidies without an okay by congress. However, since James F. Byrnes, director of war mobil ization, has promised a substan tial cut in the cost of living, other officials let it be known that a new subsidy plan Is about to be unveiled. While details are highly se cret, it is estimated the cost to the government will range from $300,000,000 to over $1,000,000,- 000. Apparently, the present meat and butter subsidies will continue on their present 10 per cent basis. The new program is expected to deal largely with vegetables. Potatoes, for in stance, seem a likely candidate for government-financed price reduction. One official who should know suggested the new program will contain a little of every thing," meaning direct subsidies, government purchase and re-sale-at-loss operations, and other devices. The idea is for the govern ment to buy all or nearly all of a crop at a handsome price, to encourage maximum farm production, and then to resell it to the trade at a price that won't break the consumer's back. While admittedly a variation of direct subsidies, this has what many officials regard as special advantages.
