Stocks of several commodities are already below desired levels. Output of many will no doubt rise, but prices will continue firm.
The federal government, however, is not about to end crop controls over-night. Present higher prices would prompt excessive oversupply and create new problems again. But the opportunity for slowly easing controls is developing.
THE FARM BELT MAY GIVE THE DEMOCRATS THEIR WORST SETBACK this year. Many farmers and small-town residents feel that the Johnson Administration has made them the main scapegoat for inflation. They resent the spotlight turned on the rise in farm prices and the sale of crop surpluses to halt it. The Democrats now hold 20 shaky seats in farm areas which could be lost.

Charles M. Nes Jr. FAIA of Baltimore, Md., has been elected president of The American Institute of Architects, succeeding Morris Ketchum Jr. FAIA of New York City.
