Farm Leaders May Seek
Plank on Price-Fixing
By the Associated Press.
Administration farm leaders in
dicated today they would ask the
Democratic National Convention to
adopt an agricultural plank broad
enough to cover governmental fixing
of farm prices if economic develop
ments should interfere with present
crop programs.
Such a plank would be in sharp
issue with the Republican platform.
The latter favored continuing all
present farm subsidy programs, with
governmental crop control features
removed. Price-fixing, on the other
hand, would involve greater govern
mental control.
Aides said Secretary Wallace
would appear before the Democratic
Platform Committee at Chicago to
ask party approval of present agri
cultural policies.'
Officials of the Bari Levant Fair
in. Italy announced that entries this
year were more than double those
of 1939.
