New Powers Are Sought By Brannan
Secretary Brannan asked Congress to grant broad marketing quotas beyond six crops to most farm products including meat, dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetables. Quotas would limit sales with a 50 percent penalty tax for excess, and would require two-thirds producer approval. Brannan also proposed storage aid of 10 cents a bushel to store 1948 crop corn and similar restorage programs for wheat oats and barley to ease storage capacity.

Baptists to Vote on Plan to Change Name
The Northern Baptist Convention will vote to change its name to The American Baptist Convention amid a long running split over slavery. Delegates contend the name should reflect societies rather than regional divisions to widen fellowship. The Southern Baptists recently said territorial differences should not be recognized. Deeds were recorded for several property sales, including 1021 North Market Street.
