Pace Demands Denunciation of Farm Pricing Plank
Georgia Congressman Steve Pace of Americus urged the Democratic National Convention to denounce a plank on farm prices. He telegraphed Gov. Arnall to attack the policy, citing a 39 cent per pound tobacco ceiling vs 1.03 dollar average hourly earnings. Agriculture Commissioner Tom Linder released the telegram. Linder also announced a tobacco market shutdown order, later paused by Gov. Arnall pending legal guidance.
