Both sides seemed willing to! bill on two-year extension of the! have’ the showdown postponed. Delay until May appeared likely. Originally, | planned to bring up the wool mea- sure, which is a part of President Eisnhower’s farm program, eith- jer yesterday or today. But he did not call it up yester- day and, as the Senate recessed, announced quietlyy that today the lawmakers would return to the Hawaii-Alaska statehood bill. | Sen. Ellender (D-La), senior Democrat on the Agriculture Com- mittee, announced last week he would seek to attach to the wool Knowland had| present high-level price supports jon basic commodities. The President has urged con- effect next year. A bipartisan bloc of farm state senators is opposing his plan, Ellender and Chairman Aiken | (R-Vt) of the Agriculture Commit- tee said in separate interviews they thought it would be better |to proceed with committee con- | sideration of the over-all Eisen- |hower farm bill before taking up |the wool measure. Aiken, who supports the flexible gress to let a flexible 75 to 90 per | |cent system of price props take|least two weeks of closed-door system, said he thought the hear- ings of his committee on the gen- erai bill would continue until mid- April, and then it would take at) sessons for the group to whip its ideas into shape. f Aiken said he did not know if the wool bill would be held up) that long.
