Surplus Reserve Plan May Pass Senate Panel
Senators backing a surplus reserve proposal forecast enough votes to approve a defense stockpile plan for two million bales of cotton and 250 to 300 million bushels of wheat. Critics from Office of Defense Mobilization urged caution. Benson urged farmers to lobby for the administration program before spring planting. Senator Williams pressed for an exact cost estimate before voting, while backers argue the plan would offset price declines and shift storage costs to national defense rather than farm programs.
