Times Washington Bureau’ * WASHING™ON, Mar. 1-—Pre-dicting that Economic ‘Recovery Administration extension will Win, Congressional approval, Sen. Wil-] liam E. Jenner (R. Ind.) today announced that he will seek an amendment ta. the law Thue would forbid ECA purchases of farm products elsewhers If a surplus exists here, ; “The junior Senator from Indi: ana charged that Canadian wheat by Great Britain Y with $55 million of ECA funds “may eventually eost the Amerjean farm and taxpayers as much as $100 million.” Under hid amendment such purchases could not be made so long. as a U.S, A. wheat surplus exists. The same would apply to all farm ucts, Sen. Jenner explained. : ‘Law Tortured’ ; His senior _ colleague, Sen. Homer E, Capehart (R. Ind.) is

the Senate Foreign Relations or Appropriations Committees which will deal directly. with the -measures. So their amendments would have to be offered from the floor, with little hope of adoption without cdmmittee leaders consent. The two Indianians opposed the original ECA in the 80th Congress, “The 80th Congress apparently thought -it—had written into the ECA - act restrictions protecting American agriculture,” Sen. Jenner said. “Certainly the spirit, and, I believe, the letter, of the law was tortured in the Canadian wheat .deal; “It is my hope that this Congress, in language which even bureaucrdts can understand, will carefully spell out a provision I shall offer which would prevent ECA from approving the purchase outside the United States of any agricultural commodity which is at that time in surplus or selling below parity in this oountry, "
