California Congressman Harlan Hagen Aims to Change Cotton Support
California Republican Representative Harlan Hagen proposes freezing the cotton support level for 1958 and 1959, effectively dropping the escalator clause. He frames the move as regional protest against eastern and southern dominance and as a compromise with Agriculture Secretary Benson's recommendations. Benson seeks flexible authority to set supports between zero and 90 percent of parity or to reduce the minimum from 75 to 60 percent, with broad congressional support but ongoing split opinions on the current program.
