After this display of temperament the Senate lined up with the House in giving the administration a free hand in paying farm subsidies to keep Down rising retail food prices. The action a tactical Victory for the government was taken under threat of a presidential veto. In the first summer recess the lawmakers have taken in four years Congress closed its books until sept. 14. The legislators took a recess of both houses so that they could reconvene without waiting a Call from the president the food Law one of the last measures to be acted upon was passed when the Senate by a dramatic vote abandoned earlier attempts to forbid subsidies. The legislation permits the government to make payments to hold Down the Price of meat butter Coffee and other foods. The Bill also adds 350 million dollars to the borrowing Powers of the commodity credit corporation which has an important role in supporting agricultural prices. Ten percent reduction under the subsidy plan the retail prices of meat butter and Coffee May be reduced an average of ten percent with processors receiving funds to free them from tile Price squeeze Between producers and Consumers. Congress final week began with a stinging presidential veto on a Bill passed last weekend forbidding subsidy payments. In one of the strongest messages lie Ever wrote. Or. Roosevelt lashed out at the measure As a a an inflation Bill a High Cost of living Bill a food shortage  the president warned that the Bill would set the Soldier tile worker and the unorganized consumer at War with the Farmer. He insisted the legislation would make it impossible to reduce the Cost of living or hold the line against rising prices. Faced by this reprimand a chastened House reconsidered its earlier decision and upheld the veto. The vote was 220 to 154, which is 27 less than the required two thirds majority to override a veto. Then the House passed a Bill approving both the Extension of the acc and subsidy payments. Following the House Lead the Senate at first okayed the Bill by the narrow margin of 32 to 31, but when farm state legislators brought each proposal up separately both were turned Down by the temperamental senators. Subsidy payments were disapproved by s3 to 31, and the entire acc was killed 36 to 29. Fig err to save program administration supporters headed by Senate Leader Al Ben w. Barkley of Kentucky fought bitterly to save the program and succeeded in having both questions voted on again. This time the acc was approved but an amendment outlawed subsidy payments by any government Agency. The score was 36 to 28. Back to a Senate House conference went the Bill As legislators fumed at the delay. It required the threat of another presidential veto to bring the recalcitrant senators around and the Bill finally received the stamp of approval by one vote�?34 to 33. Action to keep Down the rising Cost of living comes none too soon. Labor organizations have already Given notice if the subsidy program was destroyed they would be forced to ask for increased wages to keep step with rising costs. The Bureau of labor statistics gave Hope of further reductions in food prices when it announced meat prices have already declined due in part to the Roll Back subsidy program.
