New Plans 10 Be Drafted
For Cotton Warehousinq
BY the Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, May 31.-Com-
petitive bids asked by the Depart
ment of Agriculture last November
for warehousing about 6,170000
bales of Government-oWned cotton
have been rejected due to changing
conditions, and new contracts will
be negotiated at meeting of ware
housemen in Washington June IA.
This announcement was made
here yesterday by Carl c. Earring
ton, vice president of the Commod-
ity Credit Corp, in addressing the
National Compress and Warehouse
Association.
StreSsing adequate service to farm
ers at reasonable rates in handling
the cotton loan program, Earring
ton said new warehouSing plan
was occasioned by Legislation plac-
ing the cotton loan at 85 per cent
of parity for the 1941 crop and the
consequent increase in the price of
cotton"
Another factor was the movement
OF loan cotton from the 1888 and
1910 crops in market channels which
has changed the picture on the stor-
age situation, he said.
harrington also told the ware
housemen legislation was still pend
ing in Congress seeking to nullify
competitive bidding after a long
series of committee hearings.
He said at the June conference
provisions would be discussed for
storage agreement on new and old
crop cotton and that representatives
of the A A. A, cotton growers and
warehousemen would attend.
