Jones to ask Congress on war food program
Washington July 184%-War Food Administrator Marvin Jones aims to win Congress support for a 1944 production plan to back the war food program. He recalls Secretary Wickard’s winter plan for incentive payments and the House Senate fight over subsidies and producer benefits. Jones seeks general congressional approval, drafting a detailed plan to present to the Agriculture Committees this fall. The policy would align with Roosevelt price guidelines and may offer higher returns for selected crops to secure needed acreage.
