Repeal Seen Delayed as Crop Bill Clears House
The House approved the revised crop control bill 263 to 125 after four hours of debate and a 183 to 82 standing vote. The measure would extend oil conservation, allow Secretary Wallace to apply marketing rules for wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, and rice with farmer input, and creates an ever normal granary system. Republican critics warned of increased government control, while Rep Short of Missouri predicted repeal within two years and warned the bill would hurt Democrats and boost Republicans. Debate focused on the bill’s structure and the concept of farmer approved marketing controls.
