Farm Bloc Seeks to Hold Prices Above Parity Levels
The Senate farm bloc proposed a bi partisan measure to stop federal action that would limit agricultural prices before they reach parity. Sen Nye said he will introduce a resolution to bar price controls until parity is reached, with support from Sen Gillette and Sen Aiken. The plan targets avoiding price ceilings and crop surplus sales that might depress farm prices.

Four Lubbock Taxi Firms Report Prudent 1941 Record
The four Lubbock taxi firms operated 25 cabs, logging 948000 miles in 1941 with only 12 minor accidents and no injuries. No serious crashes occurred, and property damage totaled about 98.75 dollars. Drivers are trained, ages 21 or older, with some college training, though wartime needs shifted hires. Rationing may affect car numbers, but the fleet remains active. Continuous tire and car updates, with occasional recaps and workshops, are planned as supply and wartime constraints evolve. The operating companies are City Cab Co, Bryant’s Taxi, Domino Taxi, and The Yellow Cab & Baggage Co.
