Fairless Denies Inflationary Step
U S Steel president Fairless told a Senate House economic committee that recent steel price increases should not raise prices in other industries. He attributed hikes to higher labor and transport costs and said pension and insurance programs drive the rise, not profits. He noted if costs fall, steel prices could drop and emphasized modest increases are tied to benefit plans.

Surplus Investment Could Top 6.3 Billion, Brannan Says
Secretary Brannan told the Senate Agriculture Committee that federal holdings in farm surpluses could reach 6.3 billion dollars after price support programs for 1950 crops end, with current investments around 3.5 billion. He noted grains and cotton dominate and urged approval of a 2 billion dollar boost to price support funds, warning the current pool of 4.75 billion may be insufficient. Weather, yields, and production controls could cap the total at about 5.3 billion if conditions are average.
