Payment Per Crop Lid A Failure
Federal auditors report a new 55 000 payment per crop lid on farm subsidies failed to significantly cut expenditures for cotton, wheat and feed grains last year. A GAO review of 98 producers in six states who received nearly 25 million in 1970 and would have qualified for about 22.5 million in 1971 without the limit showed only small savings. If each were one person, they would have saved 17.1 million, but total savings were about 356 thousand due to offsetting tactics like acreage leasing and shifting payments to individuals and partnerships. States involved were Mississippi, Texas, California, Arizona, Washington and New Mexico.

Price Commission Gets Tough
The Price Commission cracked down on firms with profit margins exceeding controls. It ordered two companies Browning Ferris Industries and Harvest Markets to roll back prices within 10 days and report margins monthly. The move follows that up to 20 percent of large firms showed excess margins in first quarter earnings. Retail sales rose 2.5 percent in March to 36 billion dollars.
