Senate Democrats Plan Farm Changes Predict Campaign On Rigid Supports WASHINGTON (INS) —lnformed congressional sources predict today that senate Democrats will move early next year to restore rigid government price supports on basic farm commodities. These sources say that the senate agriculture committee plans to set the drive in motion by asking agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson to testify on the current farm situation. Assuming the Democrats control the senate, one informant reports that the committee “Will waste little time with hearings since most members are fully acquainted with the price support picture.” Benson is expected to deliver his report to the lawmakers in February or March and testimony probably will be taken from some other national farm leaders before the committee begins acting on legislation to be introduced by the Democrats. House Democratic leaders have already promsied action on replacing the administration program of flexible supports with the rigid scale formula. However, the GOP controlled house and senate committees voted last year lo continue rigid supports but were both overruled when the farm measure reached the floor-voting stage. Senate committee chairman-des-ignate Allen J. Ellender (D-La.) has already announced he will support a bill to knock out the present law which varies the supports on wheat, corn, cotton, peanuts, rice and tobacco from 82-and-one-half percent to 90 percent of parity. While price supports on basic commodities are the main problem facing the committee next year, s the agriculture group will also consider two other related issues — dairy price supports and cotton acreage allotments. Ellender has indicated that he favors Benson's decision last spring which reduced dairy supports from 90 percent to 75 percent of parity. But dairy state Democrats and Republicans have indicated they have not given up their fight to restore 90 percent rates on butter cheese and other products. - If you have something to sell or rooms for lent, try a Democrat Want Ad.
