flclency payments may be applied to a product in some cases. MORE FLEXIBLE

The new policy provides for a more flexible approach to the problem of supporting prices. The present federal prices suppoi pasgd in 1944. permits the govern- ment to use both methods. and both have been used on occasion.

The action of the federation am- ended a previously approved state- ment of policy on price supports in which deficiency payments as a method of supporting farm re- turns were viewed as being ap- plicable almost BXClU5lVcly to rap idly perishable commodities. Fur- ther experience had shown, the federation felt. that the deficiency payment method was a useful and necessary one in other circumst- ances. particularly those in which there was a persistent tendency for the prices received by farm- ers to be below prices bearing a reasonable relationship to costs of production.

The Federation declares. that except for perisbablcs like fruits and vegetables. deficiency pay- ments should be used when the level of psiccs to prod uc- below 80 percent of parity each your for two years and when re- quired in other special clrcumstan ces.

CONSUMER BENEFITS A major advantage of deficien-

Broadening Of Price Support Policy Asked

cy payments is that they do not. result in the accumulation of sur- pluses by the government as a re-. sult of purchases made for the I purpose of supporting the market. instead prices are allowed to find a lower level and the consumer benefits from these reduced prices.

Other advantages are:that the decision to pay deficiency psy- menis can. if desired. be made af- ier a product has been marketed and a more exact idea of the ex- tent to which producers returns have been depressed as been gain- ed: that in some cases. as with wheat. oats and barley marketed by the wheat board. market prices supports cannot be successfully applied; and that for some rapid-. ly perishable products support by government purchase is not prac-i ticable.

The C.F.A. Policy gives a pre- ference to market price supportsi in a general way because the cost to the treasury is usually smaller than with deficiency gay- ments; because they are more easily administered and lend themselves to more orderly mark- etirig of the product. because they result in a market price that better reflects the true value of the product to the consumer. and because they do not lend to weak- en prices on other foods. which of course compete with each other for the consumer's dollar.

LONDON Reuters)-The worst strike violence in more than ill years hit Britain Wednesday as London police clashed with mar- ket handlers and bus workers roughed up passengers.

Not since the general strike of 1926 has Britain known strike warfare. Despite pleas by union leaders. battles with police and the public continued and grew uglier.

Club - swing policemen fought bottiethrowing strikers at Lon- don's Covent Garden fruit and vegetable market. A truck loaded with fruit was set afire and crates of produce were smashed.

Some 3.500 handlers in London: 'ive main markets have refused :0 work in protest against a new working system proposed by em- players.

Striking provincial bus workers punched one woman and threw an- other into a hedge in Cornwall in a walkout which has forced some owners to ask for greater protec- ion-including the use of armed force it necessary-to keep buses running.

The bus strike involving 100,000 members of six unions. started Friday ave r demands for .l:l-a- week pay increase to lessen the gap between provincial and Lon- don rates.
