Among The Sick Harold ^Meadors has been ill sev eral days with tonsilitis., Learline Woody, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ovell Woody, has been ill several days with flu. Friends of Mrs. Betty "Lawson are sorry to learn of her illness. J. B. Fanner is improving and them in their absence from Washing ton. Bankhead said Vinson promised to give the suggestions “careful and prompt consideration.” • “If the Commodity Credit corpor ation would announce immediately that the 1944 loan will be available to producers until July 3, 1945, and on that date it will take over all 1944 cotton producers either own or have in loan, at full parity, cotton would start moving to the mills now at parity,” Bankhead told reporters. “In this announcement, the CCC should state that in taking over the 1944 loan cotton on July 31, it would pay the producer the difference be tween the amount loaned him on his cotton and parity, and that the CCC would absorb the interest, storage costs, and other carrying charges.” He estimated that the cost to the government would probably not ex ceed $8,000,000.
