And there appears to he no
chance that the Senate will put
back the prepayment provi-
sions.
Ellender attacked such pay-
ments.
Said he, they were “unwise,
impractical and basically un-
sound—an agricultural will-o-
Ihe-wisp.”
On another controversial
point, Ellender defended t h e
provisions of the new bill for;
mandatory increases in t h c
price supports of feed grains!
this year and next. The admini-j
stration doesn’t like the propo-!
sals. But Ellender argues it 1
would put feed grains “on a fair
and normal relationship with j
corn.”
Ellender charges that the ad-1
ministration has shown “rank
favoritism to main belt farm
growers and has treated shab-
bily the growers of barley,
grain sorghums, oats and rye.
The Senate is hoping to get a
final vote on the farm bill to-
morrow.
