Senate Repeals AAA Cotton Tobacco And Potato Controls
Washington Feb 4 The Senate quickly carried out President Roosevelt’s plea for prompt repeal of the cotton, tobacco and potato control laws, as House debates continued over Wallace impeachment. The Bankhead cotton act and Kerr-Smith tobacco act were singled out for repeal, with the measure passing the Senate on a light floor. A small portion of the Bankhead statute was saved, preserving a $500000 fund to develop new uses for cotton. The three cancelations are tied to the wider farm adjustment program and the termination of AAA.
