House approves compromise on potato marketing and cotton peanut supports
Washington reports the house passed a rival compromise bill tightening potato marketing controls while expanding price supports for cotton and peanuts. The measure, 196 to 156, moves to the senate amid anticipated resistance. It would withhold potato price supports unless growers accept strict marketing quotas and permit cotton and peanut acre increases, amid opposition from four farm groups who back President Truman’s ECA request for cash and surpluses used as aid.
