Farm Leaders Challenge Price Plan
Washington May 31 An announcement that the Office of Price Administration will subsidize food prices starting with butter tomorrow drew a prompt challenge from congressional farm leaders. The plan aims to build surplus stocks during heavy production to support civilian and military needs, with a five cent per pound butter subsidy to be funded by Reconstruction Finance Corporation funds under the 1942 price control act. Senator Smith and Representative Fulmer ridiculed the plan and pledged to seek congressional authority or revise the subsidy framework to ensure a fair price margin for farmers, merchants, and retailers.

In Little Rock on May 31 engineers and soldiers kept flood fight efforts steady as the Arkansas River eased from its crest toward the Mississippi, though crevasses and sandbags remained a risk until levels drop below flood stage. The Red Cross prepared rehabilitation materials including barbed wire for distribution to Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas flood zones. Farm leaders planned summer actions amid a national feed shortage, while officials warned of possible evacuations in East Little Rock as waters slowly backed up. Weather projections anticipate continued fall in Arkansas with rising White and stable Black rivers, and Ouachita forecasts in Arkadelphia and Camden.
