Agricultural committees in both chambers studied a measure granting Secretary Wallace power to apply relief plans to nine farm commodities including cotton and wheat. The Senate debated licenses for processors with fines up to 1000 dollars per day for noncompliance. President Roosevelt pledged to stop the plan if it failed, framing it as a major executive responsibility. Wallace warned consumers might bear about 800 million dollars in burdens, while aiming to use processors and producers cooperation to raise prices. Public hearings were sought by processors to propose amendments amid concerns of interference and nationalization of agriculture.
