Washington D C Price Administrator Prentiss Brown told the Senate banking committee it is impossible to carry out the price stabilization act of 1942 without subsidies to roll back food prices. He defended subsidies to processors as essential, while Roosevelt indicated the rollback subsidy program would proceed amid opposition. A new consumer interests group met Vinson to back administration policy. Brown argued for subsidies under existing acts to meet three stabilization milestones and noted the need for RCFC funds.
