Chairman Opposes One Price Cotton Program Move
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Sen. Allen J. Ellender announced he will oppose renewing the one price cotton program. The system sets a single world price for U S cotton, aiding mills but not boosting farmer income, exports, or domestic sales according to Ellender. C R Sayre of the National Cotton Council defended the program while urging continued price supports and market expansion.
