Bankhead Proposal Draws Veto Threat Over Cotton Price Fix
Washington AP reports President Foustiely likely to veto a price stabilization bill as Senate debates Bankhead amendment to require OPA to set new cotton price ceilings using a parity base plus 2 profit. The plan ties to 60 percent of textile industry and aims to push more low priced cotton apparel, countering current shortages. The extension bill would run 18 months, expiring June 30, with potential production reallocations by War Production Board to favor cheaper textiles.
