Potato Control Law Seen Unaffected but Future Uncertain
Washington officials said the potato act of 1935 remains on the books despite the Supreme Court validation of the adjustment act but questioned whether full enforcement can be achieved. Comptroller General McCarl said the potato law is not an amendment to the adjustment act, and limited funds hinder enforcement. Some officials worry the measure may be ruled unconstitutional as an overreach on federal production control. If funds are provided, enforcement may proceed, otherwise action stalls.
