anxiety to please and appease pressure groups, notably farmers and
ening to disrupt the anti-inflation program, The average member of congress seems to think that votes in large blocks can be delivered virtually intact by the suaye representative of ,the farmer or of labor. Such representatives are in their heyda now about the capitol, for they are capitalizing on this .voter hysteria that has congress in its grip. This explains the current deadlock over President Roosevelt's demand that congress permit the sale of federally owned surplus wheat and corn, below parity prices, as feed for live stock: being raised to feed our allies and ourselves. The protests of some members that the professional farm leaders do not always represent the farmer do not seem to matter, for the average congressman is loath to risk a. test of this.
