Washington, Mar. 22. With than ten minutes deliberation, the senate agriculture committee today approved a measure to include labor costs in farm price parity, which the administration contends would force higher price ceilings on some food products. Chairman Smith S. said he hoped to Ret the bill up Friday for a senate vote and its sponsors predicted passage by a wide-margin.

Introduced by Representative Pace the legislation cleared the house Friday on a voice vote although Representative Sabath 111.) predicted it would vetoed by President Roosevelt who, he said, "desires to prevent unnecessary inflation and unnecessary high costs of living." Its effect on food prices to consumers is disputed. Pace estimated the increase would be 2 or 3 per cent but other sponsors said the effect would be negligible. They argued that most market prices already are above parity and that the principal effect would be to increase the government loan value of crops. On the other hnnd Representative Allen III.) estimated the action would raise retail food costs 16 per cent and Leon Henderson, former price administrator, said it would add to the nation's food bill. Parity is related to price ceilings because the price control law forbids any ceiling lower than parity on a farm product.

The term is applied by the agriculture department to a price it calculates gives a farm product a purchasing value, in terms of things farmers buy, equivalent to what it had in some period when the department considers the ratio was a fail-one. Usually the period is l'JOD-U. Japan is reported to be trying to increase cotton production in the Philippines, chiefly at the expense of sugar and other food crops.

Fresh pigsfeet (bone in), and pig ears. if a customer has a roast bonad, she is entitled to the bones since she has paid points for them, the OPA pointed out.

Because meat and cheese cannot always be cut to the exact pound, the "consumer chart" issued by the OPA contains a simple table of point values for ounces. The left-hand column of this table goes from one to 16 ounces, while across the top are columns of one to 15 points. If a purchcase of chuck roast, for example, came to three pounds, 10 ounces, the point price would be computed by multiplying the per-pound point value of by 3, a total of 18, and adding four points as discovered by following the "10-ounce" line to the "6-point" column. The full "point-price" thus would be 22. I Any fractions of a point are dropped if less than Vt point, but if the fraction is point! or more, the dealer will collect a full point.

Fractions of exactly point on two or more items bought in a single purchase are added together. The Bulgaran port of Varna was the niost popular resort on the Black Sea before the war.
