New Farm Bill On Senate Floor

WASHINGTON, (Jet 7 iUIm Administration leaders lushed their new farm lull to the Senate floor today, confident they rouh. obtain its passage by nightfall. Thwarted in their first id tempt earlier this week to win approval 1 for the measure, in bill’s sponsors were conti,dm! they would pick up enough voli for passage on the second try. The bill, written largely by Sen. Clinton 1*. Anderson. I). N M , would set up a flexible system of farm price supports ranging from 75 to PO per cent of parity. It is vigorously opposed by supporters of permanent high, rigid supports. The House already has passed a bill extending for another year the present wartime system of high price supports. High support advocates In th Senate succeeded on Tuesday in re-writing the Anderson bill t eliminate the flexible scale an i to authorize, instead, permaner t 90 per cent supports for basic crops under production controls. The vote in favor of the high support bloc was 38 to .!7. Anderson and Senate Democrat!'' Leader Scott W. Lucas thereupon moved successfully to hav the hill sent back to the Sena! Agriculture Committee tor re-

visions.

The committee approved the Anderson version again yesterday by a vote of 9 to 3 alter making only minor changes. Bid administration leaders believed that these revisions would pick up enough votes for their measure to insure its passage.

Despite stem navy department protests, the Pacific fleet commander was called before the House Armed Services (Vimmittee to repeat in public the testimony he gave the < ongrensmen behind closed dons yesterday.
