CCC Holding Vast Stores Potential Losses Loom Over Subsidy Program
Washington March 7 The Commodity Credit Corporation faces potential government losses of 509 million dollars if liquidated, per testimony by J B Hutson before the House appropriations committee. Hutson detailed past realized losses of 156 million through Sept 30, 1943, and gave inventory valuations totaling about 903.49 million as of Dec 31 1943. He noted no inflated inventories and cited a June 30 1943 total of 1.06 billion with wheat holdings at 259.8 million bushels. Hutson estimated 70 million dollars in losses on feed wheat due to livestock demand and industrial corn use amid a request for 349 thousand dollars more in admin expenses.
