NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 26.-(P)-
The flow of cotton to market has
subsidized to a mere trickle In most
parts of the South since the dras-
tic price break of last week, with
farmers holding onto the staple IN
hopes of a rebound on the exchange
boards.
The withholding movement is

10 per cent of normal in a number
of areas. In some places only
farmers in need Of immediate cash
were reported disposing of their
product.
There was a difference of opin-

which they started the tumble of
$25 to $50 per bale. Some brokers

0PA WITHDRAWS
FROM RATE CASES
Resignation Of Utili S
Counsel Foreshadows
Final Move

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26-(P)-The
end of OPA's intervention in elect
ric, gas, telephone, s%treetcar and
other utility rate cases was fore
Swallowed tonight in the resignation
of Harry R. Booth, OPA utilities
counsel and chief of the Public
Utilities branch.
Booth told a reporter that with
OPA decontrolling go percent of
all foods, it is impossible to, con-
tend seriously that a sterilization
problem now exists in the utilities
industries"
Existing agencies can handle
the job of holding utility rate in
creases to reasonable levels
Booth said, especially since the
price level in the utility industry
is now below what it was in 1941."
OPA had no official comment
but n aide said there is likely
to be less and less intervention"
from the price agency to oppose
increases sought by utility com
panies.
The fast-moving decontrol pro-
gram, Booth said, "cuts the ground
from under the former contention
made by the OPA in these cases
that the sterilization program
would be impaired if increases in
rates we're made"
"Under nearly all state and
federal statutes, utility charges
cannot be increased without a find
ing that the proposed charges
would be reasonable" he added.
These standards will certainly
make for no more I # increases
than standards underlying existing
price legislation.
OPA never had the power to
veto rate increases, but companies
seeking to charge higher rates
were required to furnish 30 days
notice and give OPA opportunity
to intervene if the agency felt the
new rates would upset the anti
initiation program. Booths branch
has taken part since 1912 in the
more important rate increase
owe the country.
Despite increases in s~treetcar
and bus fares, in which labor
costs figures largely, the utility
industry is virtually the only one
now charging less on the era
than in 1941, Booth said. Electric
and gas rates have dropped about
five percent, he added, and tele-

locked on wage demands, have ex-
pressed willingness for the govern
