ST ,,rsScd the fact that if tn" pres
cnt rate of consumption continues.
there will be Il d"arih Of cotton by

part of the farmers in organizing
fer their protection.
Regarding the Dial amendment.
Sentaor smith subsequently said
thai he WAS confident that in COM
nittec something looking to the re-
lief sought by Senator Dial would
be worked out and reported.
