Congress Backs Cotton Pool Plan Amid Debate
The Smith cotton bill cleared the House by 188 to 183 after Republican Leader Snell argued it would aid banks over farmers. It would place all government financed cotton, including 1.59 million bales held by cooperatives and 716,000 in the Agriculture Department, under a six member board. Growers cutting output by 30 percent would gain a share in the pool and potential higher prices from reduced supply.
