Changes Postpone
New Price Ceiling on
Manufactured Goods

The Government has postponed
indefinitely the issuance of new
price ceilings for most manufac-
tured goods.
The ONCE of Price Sterilization
had planned to issue the orders
next week. However, officials said
they needed time to work out
changes which Congress made re-
Gently in the Defense Production
Act. The law prescribes how
prices are to be controlled.
New regulations which were put
off would have applied to general
manufacturers, and to makers of
machinery, cotton textiles, shoes,
apparel, wool yarns and fabrics.
It would have provided for many
price rollbacks and some in
creaSeS.
Harold Leventhal, OPS general
counsel, said it was uncertain just
how much rollback would be left
latter application of the Cape
hart amendment to the defense
production law" The amendment
sponsored by Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana, provides
that price ceilings must take full
cost increases into account.
OPS said the delay will relieve
manufacturers from having to
figure ceilings twice Under the
proposed order, manufacturers
would have computed their cell
ings next week. Later they would
have had to re-figure them to ap-
ply any subsequent price orders
issued to allow for increases pro-
vided in the Capehart amendment,
The United States Chamber of
Commerce and the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturer had
protested to OPS the necessity for
the double computation.

Holmes Farmers Are
Asked To Increase
Cotton IL Per Cent
1850 Acreage Was
A,376 Acres;
194o Was Co. 500

Every farmer in Holmes county
is urged to take careful look at
his farming operations to see II
he can grow more cotton and sun
maintain sound soil conservation
measures. Every farmer who
can should do so, because he is
helping supply a vitality needed
defense commodity" says Z. l..
Downer, chairman of the Holmes
County Agricultural Mobilization
Committee. More cotton Is
needed for our national defense
and the cotton farmer is the only
one who can supply it.
The cotton acreage for Holmes
county in 1850 was 44,376 acres.
This shust be increased by tn per
cent if Holmes county is to meet
its 1851 goal. The l949 acreage
was 62,500.
Cotton was most important
raw material in helping win
World War II and today cotton is
second only to steel in essential
national defense raw materials
Much depends on the 1851 crop
of cotton. Nearly all of Is mil
lion bale crop in 1851 will be
needed next year to supply Vita
needs for the staple and to help
build a reserve supply. The ex,
pected carry-over August l, 1851
will possibly be the smallest fol
Is years.
Mr.. Downer pointed out thai
our present supply of cotton, car
ry-over last August, plus the 1851
crop, plus a little imported cot
ton, is 1873 million bales, De
mands for this cotton are est
mated to be at least 1873 million
bales - ten million bales for U
S. mills, and, if we had the cottor
to spare, So million bales for for
eign customers. The need for cot
ton beginning August l, 1851, /:
expected to be even larger as de
tense programs here and II
friendly foreign countries expand
