The Senate Agriculture Committee voted 14 to 2 to extend its probe into the American Cotton Cooperative Association and the government cotton pool. Chairman Smith said $25,000 more, atop $10,000, will let Col. Lawrence Westbrook finish tests claiming 3,000,000 bales were underrated in quality and cost growers about 1.50 a bale.
